Every server should have this set.
PLEASE
tv_delaymapchange <0|1>
Delays the map change on game server until rest of buffered game has been broadcasted
All it does is DELAYS the stv from changing maps instead of staying synced to the server.

You know the thousands of times you've seen the STV drop in the last 90 seconds of a game?
Setting tv_delaymapchange to 1 on the server stops this from happening.
Americans noticing this command just now :>
F2's WaitForSTV SourceMod plugin or tftrue_tv_delaymapchange "1" are very useful in that regard as well.

ESEA used to be shit at this, but this seems to be recurring thing I've seen recently on EU casts :(

Except it doesn't work. AFAIK it only delays map changes due to timelimit, so it's nice for pubs with mapcycles. It won't delay manual map changes or even hitting timelimit in tournament mode.
Like f_blue says, use F2's plugin or TFTrue for proper 90s delay (that can still be overruled by retarded people with RCON, which is what happened with the cast tonight).
I'm planning to eventually write a plugin/extension for SourceMod which forces tv_delaymapchange to be respected even by RCON mapchange commands.
Yeah TFTrue was actually on the server so they had to change the map twice to override the 90 second delay :D
It was just a brainfart by one of the players.

i bet it was zebbosai he is pretty bad with servers
It was me, sorry gang. Didn't play an online game with STV since the summer, forgot this was a thing!

I don't think ESEA needs something like this, they just need to keep someone in the server for 90 seconds since the servers are set up for each map/match. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Useful and should be required for every other comp server though.
