The shamrock cup teams are now locked in and we are accepting predictions for the outcome, which will be accepted until the first real game begins.

When is that? Whenever San Goonino and Nova F.C. are ready and both of their captains message me to tell me so. Here's the final bracket:


http://challonge.com/goonshamrockcup

Prediction is now open, which means you can bet on the results basically. You just won't win anything unless people put up rewards for a perfect bracket or something.

Also, my team desperately needs as 4th and will accept pretty much anyone. Message/mention at me in the CS:GO Goons chat. I'm Fantastic/Jean-Jean
I'll try to keep most of the posting in the Buttmen Brigade thread, but I'll try to post the results at the end, and maybe make a video.

I'll probably have to withdraw. I work 7 days a week and I doubt we'll ever get all 8 people on within the 4 hours I'm able to play. I was on vacation 12th to the 22nd, I thought it would be ok since you scheduled it on the last day of my vacation but it didn't happen.

I have avoided this memory leak thing. I have CS:GO installed on a removeable thumbstickdrive, and it lags like gently caress for the first (usually spectating) round and then after that it's flawless.

Did you ever have the "memory leak" when everyone was having it? It's not just that it drops your FPS, but it's a stuttery drop. If it dropped my FPS to 70 and it was a smooth steady 70, I wouldn't care. But it's not, it's stuttery and drops even more if I see an enemy. It's hard to explain, but it's not just "oh it's 70 FPS now!" it's a jittery unplayable mess.

Glad to see I'm not the only one with this issue, I've had it come up during comp matches and it's infuriating. It really only started happening recently, too, and I don't know why.

I've been having this thing going on recently where my ping will just spike to over 1000 and I start getting awful 10-15 second delays and things jitter around a fuckload, then it goes back to 54 and I'm left confused and depressed that I missed 3 rounds.

For a while it was happening to the vast majority of people. But a simple restart of the game would fix it for at least one map, if not multiple maps. Adding -processheap to your launch options made it almost never happen, and that worked for me for a while. But for me, a restart of the game will fix it only temporarily, and it'll happen again 10-15 minutes later. Another fresh reinstall of CS seems to have made it go away for the last couple of games, but I'm sure it'll crop up again.

Also, for those of you having trouble with common jumps in comp maps, someone made a jump map compilation called kz_comp with most of them in there.

Here's a video on how to do them if you are having trouble.

Yeah, well, good luck! I kz a lot, and I can't do all of the jumps on there with normal match settings. I've hit the cache jump maybe once, the CT nuke one railing to roof I've never even come close to. The inferno one I can do occasionally, but I'm inconsistent at it.

Some of that is pretty hard. Blas is a long time kzer, so he makes it look easy, I'm sure guys like mini and kcer can hit all of them easily enough too, but I can't, props to you if you wind up able to do them.

Yeah Blasdfa holds like top5 records on like almost every kz maps he's played on csgo so it's going to look easy when he does it.

I had to look up a tutorial on how to do the ladder -> inner transition and I swear I'm doing the same thing the tutorial said to do but I still can't clear it?????? I guess there's not too many ladder jumps out there in jump maps.

Today is good weather
for an airstrike.
The ladder jump depends on gaining forward momentum while on the ladder instead of trying to build it with strafe in mid air when you pop off the top. Go stand sideways next to any ladder and hold forward while strafing into it. You'll go up a bit but you'll also shoot off to the side with a bit of speed. The ladder to A jump depends on you being able to generate that bit of speed on the ladder, but while you're in the hole in the floor, all without clipping anything.

Weird things going on in the NA scene. Swag going to iBP, anger to coL. Swag switching to a second-tier team doesn't seem to make sense, so I guess it's the usual "X hates Y so they can't stay in the same team" crap again.

iBuyPower isn't exactly a "second tier team". coL has done better at some events, sure, but iBP recently won the ESEA Invite LAN finals. But yeah, American CS is a mess, as a friend of mine pointed out, it would be nice for coL and iBP to split up their stars to form a bunch more high level American teams. As it stands right now, we have two high level US teams, and a couple of "almost high level" teams, but if some of the stars of iBP and coL split up, the high tier US scene would be better, allowing them ALL to get better (by scrimming each other), and then maybe we can actually compete in the global scene.

Yeah maybe second-tier is too harsh, but I feel like coL is (or was, who knows what happens now) on a level above iBP, at least against European teams. From what I hear though, they don't even practice against each other, so this might just make both teams weaker.
