2nd case that I have ever opened, I get an M4A4 Dragon King (Field-Tested). It's nothing fancy but it's mine and that's all that matters.

(Too bad I prefer the M4A1-S).

I've never heard of a Razer product lasting more than 3 years. I've had my mouse since like 1998 and it was 20 bux. Mice aren't going to make you better, so what are you paying the extra money for if not durability?

I'm just worried that these posts are going to push some goons with poor impulse control over the edge into buying another $100 in keys. All you see in the thread is people unboxing knives but you don't get to see the hundreds of worthless skins that were unboxed to get there. Grats on being really lucky you should probably quit while you're ahead

Are these operation things ever worth buying (i mean the operation vanguard access pass and whatever ones there were in the past/will be after vanguard)? Are you likely to make your money back off the drops from them or the cases?

if you play enough to take advantage of the extra drops i think they easily pay for themselves

vanguard was probably the worst as far as making your money back goes, but it really only takes one lucky mission drop and you get something like 60 extra drops

Probably not. Vanguard itself has additional passes on top of Vanguard itself, so if you just stick with Vanguard you'll be much more limited in the frequency and number of missions you can take, which will cut your drop count.

And I'm pretty sure without looking that the case value is next to nothing.

I was given a factory new AK Predator drop which paid for the entire tour (plus maghrab bonus mission) in one fell swoop so will confirm this.

I paid for it the first night with crates then later got a Cerberus from a mission.

Also it brought the carbon fiber bizon bets and I made like 50 bucks off that.

I had to close out the tournament sign-ups at 14 teams (70 people). I doubt we'll actually get this many people playing, but I also know that god forbid they all do show up any more would be just insane to manage.

e: I need ranks for deetee.nirv, Luna, the russian, Chic Trombone, and meow. I'm using this information to see the spread of skill and if pre-arranged or captains is the way to go. I have nixed the idea of randomly putting teams together.

I don't know if Chic Trombone is paying attention to the thread right now, but she hasn't won 10 mm games afaik. Just assume Silver 1 (and yeah, I know Silver 1 isn't the default rank and that it's based on skill).

This isn't going to go down good with Big Deathadder but I've been using a Rival and I quite like it.

If it died I would probably be willing to check out a Deathadder.

My M90 is starting to give up the ghost. I think I'll pick up a M65 next. 15 buttons is way too many, but I like the feel of the mouse, so an M65 seems more appropriate.
