You guys are all wrong because Season is one of the few maps that does contrast right. Like the only possible sight line that I could ever find any issue with is maybe on lower B if you're trying to look at T-side upper that has a ton of visual noise from the tree leaves outside.

This. Season is perfect visually. My only complaint is that it's a little too big.

The only gripe I have with Season is upper B from lower. The background is noisy as gently caress, and it doesn't help that I'm already handicapped because of my deficient color vision.

Dunno man, I don't think CPHW could even win 1 game in 10 against fnatic on d2. Some massive luck and starting CT on nuke or cbble...maybe.

jeff gerstmann hates fun
Got in a game last night with a coupe of goons on nuke and got shat all over by some dude who received like $250 worth of skins right when the game kicked off. was nice to see people in the novas actually using flashbangs and poo poo though, and reminds me that i need to get a go:ons invite at some point.

i still have supremely bad timing with flashbangs though. i find myself pretty much only using them during a coordinated site assault, because every single time i try to flash in a 1v1 situation i just get rushed down and wrecked, or i totally biff the throw and flash the crap out of myself. essentially, i find it much more effective to just hold the corner with my gun. i guess that just comes down to practice.

Also, it sucks that the one game that i really want to watch from the Katowice qualifiers (Titan v. PITeR) didn't get posted on the ESL twitch archives. you get a loving quad overtime game and you don't post it?

I gave up throwing impromptu flashes in 1 v 1s a long time ago. If its a set flash you've thrown before, great, but if its close quarters, say in Radio on Nuke, then they just get me killed. The worst is when you've a bunch of dead people screaming "use your nades!!!!"

When I first got back into CS:GO after leaving it to rot for years I joined a comp game of d2 and people were screaming at me to flash the top ramp, but I got really confused instead and died. Flashes are hard to use and it's hard to judge when they're useful since sometimes you'll flash, run out and see the guy is partially blinded and get gunned down instantly by him anyway.

e: If you're looking for help with streaming I'd say join a goon IRC or voicechat so you can get real-time feedback on stuff like how loud your voice and sounds are, if your video is working right, or how terrible your skins are, and tweak it and test it until it all works.

It annoys me when the whole round goes to hell and takes/retakes are weakened because people die with $1200 of Nades or blow them all ineffectively

Using Nades in 1v1 is fine, and like a lot of poo poo in cs, depends on the situation :wth:

I don't think you're dying to rush down because 1v1 nades it's because that's pretty much all anyone does

E- for gentleness

This was what I was thinking. A lot of people in 1v1's tend to think that the action is going to happen right away. This tends to lead to missed audio queues and lack of foresight into where the enemy is, culminating in late flash throws.

:dukedog:

One of the issues in 1v1 is if the other person doesn't know where you are a nade is a sure way to give away your position. One of the only times I might nade 1v1 when the other guy doesnt know where I am exactly is when defending a bomb that has been planted, otherwise if bomb isnt down and time isn't running out soon try and be sneaky.

Let's do some matchmaking this weekend! Despite top fragging my team for the last seven games I have lost 6 and tied 1, because Silver II strats are apparently shoot left or right of enemies by 10+ feet and plant the bomb and leave the site.
Like kennyS I can only carry so much :smug:, please save me from ELO hell. Add me /id/Paintballer98

Note: Unlike goonpugs where I frequently go 5-20, I can actually get 20+ kills in Silver MM.

Hey, those are my strats and it placed me at Silver 6 where I frequently go 5-20 :shepface:

What the hell is the secret on dust to shooting CTs from T spawn with an AWP anyway? It seems like every T's goal is to get an AWP so they can shoot down mid, miss, and die to a counter-sniper.
