what I hear though, they don't even practice against each other, so this might just make both teams weaker.

That seems so counter productive. A big reason EU is so much better than NA is they're top players and they scrim eachother a lot. Talent breeds talent, etc. If NA teams slap low level invite teams around and say good enough, we can suck more dicks at CS for another 10 years.

A mindset of NA teams in a lot of games, not just CS, is if they start playing each other, they're giving away their playstyle and tricks, which is most certainly not true considering the benefits of top teams playing against other top teams in skirmishes. EU teams don't have this mentality and the results are showing.

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.

YEa, I often question why I play with a second tier group, but, I guess you just play with the people you like. Plus, big fish small pond kind of thing. Sometimes it's frustrating being categorically better than kcer and carl and etc, but you put up with it for the company

Yeah I don't play CS with goons for this very reason - there's nothing worthwhile left to learn from them. Why would I want to be more of a shithead in the future when I could just MM my way to victory?

164ms ping, 70% packet loss. My team refused to kick me so eventually I just started buying them guns, throwing away my own and jumping happily across the map. I even got one knife kill.

Ain't never seen such a lovely connection.

I would love for more discussion on pro play but whenever you do could you guys link to whatever twitch/hltv/whatever you're watching? Bonus points if it's right as a match is starting. ~ta

They kicked 3 people, then the last 2 left after the 2nd to last round. You can't surrender if you votekick someone, only if a player drops + abandons.

I suffered from this issue for about 6 months, but seems like the game is mostly cooperating with me now. I heard that adding -processheap to your launch options helps with the memory leak.

It fixes my memory leak lag, but it causes random crashes to the desktop.

Also, my CS depression has come full circle. I think I'm done for a bit.

I find that whenever I put anything in that box (even -novid) I have issues. I had a whole string of commands in source/1.6 but for some reason GO gives me the bird when I need to edit anything.

You're done when I say you're done.

Also as someone that both likes the skins in CS, and likes watching competitive CS, anyone that takes either one seriously enough to send death threats to a team because they lost really needs to step out of their Silver 2 MM game and take a walk outside.
