Have skins gotten exponentially more expensive or what?

I'm going through my inventory and seeing what they cost on the market and I easily have $1000 of guns and pistols (my ak alone is worth $300).

It looks like ESEA is going to try and do something about the rampant DDoS that literally ruins online competitive CS:

"lpkane posted:

first, both matches last night weren't fun for anyone involved, they weren't fun for the players, the teams, the casters, viewers, they weren't fun for me either

that being said, we will continue to not allow reschedules for player ddos issues because standards need to be set in the following areas:

1. organizations need to be responsible for protecting their player ip addresses

2. organizations need to be prepared with a backup for situations like tonight

this isn't amateur anymore, a lot of money is at stake and an increasing number of eyes are on the world of esports -- we all need to do a better job

in the past we deserved a significant share of the blame for making it easy to ddos matches, and to solve that we put in a significant amount of time and money towards making improvements

in the past valve deserved a share of the blame for the ease in which an ip address could be obtained over steam, and to solve that they put in the time necessary to address the issue

now the current culprit appears to be voip applications including skype and mumble

rather than rely on developers to fix the inherent problems we're going to be working with invite teams and will be requiring all players to use the following, or an equivalent:

http://proxee.net

that solves the problem in that you use it purely as a vpn to connect to skype -- it won't affect your in-game latency in any way, and if and when your ip address is leaked over skype it won't impact your primary connection

i would encourage all players who take the game seriously to consider using a voip proxy like the above so that you don't find yourself in a situation like a number of players found themselves tonight

this will ultimately be a small bump in the road as esports continues to grow, but it's something we can all work towards fixing

Now let's see if the players actually try this.

You mean the thing the entire dota scene did a year ago?

I can't believe this takes the CS:GO scene this long. Protecting you're IP as a competetive gamer is really loving important these days.

lol the official statement is just calling out his attitude http://esport.aftonbladet.se/team/ninjas-in-pyjamas/official-statement-nip-csgo-team

quote:

The last couple of days there have been a number of speculations, and we feel the need to address these in an open statement. The Ninjas in Pyjamas CS:GO team are going to try out new players for the time being, to see if there is a possibility that they find a better line-up than the one they have today.

Maikelele is a great talent and a very good player, but lacks a certain amount of experience that is required in order to have a permanent spot in the NiP line-up. Much more than pure talent is required in order to play professionally on an international level. Maikelele is still a part of NiP and has been informed of his shortcomings and now has a chance of working on them. In other words, the CS:GO team still consists of the same five players, but we are open to trying new players for the upcoming period of time.

Maikelele adapted well to the CS:GO team, meaning there are no other aspects to this decision but the sporting ones that are the base of this evaluation period.
