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.

The secret is to hold the crosshair on the door so you can wallbang them when they jump past. That way you do some free damage even if you don't kill them. Also it helps to look and see how many play b or lower tunnels.

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.

Sent you a request. Never played MM before, which might be a problem. :downs:

i think usually it's a holdover from when they had no space at LANs so learned to play that way.

its also because its also a lot more ergonomic to hit w and s on the keyboard at the same time if you tilt it like that because it makes it a lot more natural for the pointer finger to move from d to s while the middle finger is still on the w key. hitting further up on the number row with you left hand also becomes easier. also the guy who has move forward and backwards bound to his left and right mouse button knows whats up because he can run around and compensate for forward movement if he needs to shoot without putting his fingers in an awkward position. its easy to do side to side with a normal keyboard position but compensating for forward and backwards movements becomes really loving awkward

My cat just woke me up with a claw through the ear. I don't know if I have the pointiest alarm clock ever, or the furriest piercing needle, but drat, that hurts.

What I'm trying to say is don't tilt if I can't hear on my right side. Headphones hurt damnit.

I used numbers back in 1.6 (b46etc) but CSGO gives you so much time to buy that there isn't a big incentive to learn my binds.

I'm trying out lightboost on the new monitor and it does make a pretty significant difference. Playing at 144hz /wo lightboost felt at most like 20% better than playing on a 60hz monitor, with lightboost at 120hz feels like it's actually refreshing twice as fast. As someone mentioned before the downside is that the overall picture is a lot dimmer. There's no way to eek out additional in-game gamma past 2.6 right? Otherwise I might have to revert to 100hz /w lightboost or 144hz /wo on darker maps.

Competitive win ratio: 50.6%

To be fair you can't use those competitive stats because that API hasn't worked in ~6 months but yeah his win rate is not actually 75%

Jeez, sorry. I have no idea, I just look at how many games it says I played competitively and how many I've won in the game. I figured it had to do with me being near the bottom when I started playing again in November. It doesn't really bother me being in silver since I do suck.

Think a big thing people need to realize is you gotta call everything you see/hear. If you hear something, look at minimap for half a second and call if you don't see a blue dot near you. Call when someone shoots you from where. Call how many. call everything

In silvers it's painful. The other day my team didn't call a single thing (only one of them died and the rest fell back when Ts rushed - so on my side of the map it felt like nothing was happening) and then they blamed me for not providing backup when the bomb was planted.

:psyduck:


And I just decided I needed something like this today, too.

Thanks!
