How have you won 75% of your games, while being a consistently top player, yet you're still in Silver?

I was consistently top frag in my silver games (K/D of something like 1.6?), but I still had a 50%-ish win rate. I want to say that's because I play with some scrubby rear end stoners, but lets be real, killing mans is not a reasonable measure of CS skill. Killing two guys on A site when the rest of your team rushes B and gets massacred does not a good player make.

On the other hand, I've finally clawed my way up to the Novas, and now I'm pretty middle of the pack. I have good games and bad games. CS:GO matchmaking gets a lot of flak, but it's one of the best matchmaking systems I've encountered.

RE: Awping mid on Dust II, unless you have stupidly good reflexes (or the CT's are running through with their guns out) you're not likely to land shots. It's mostly to gain intel about how many people are playing A/B, and to possibly land a pick on the CT AWP if he decides to challenge. It's not like the T-side AWPer has much else to do at the top of the round. I guess if he gets a really good long A spawn he might be able to fast push to pit or something, but really there aren't too many good T-side AWP alleys, not compared to plat to dark or car to long/cat or goose or kinda really anywhere for a CT.

Generally though, like most things in CS:GO, people do it because they see pro's do it, and pro's don't even consistently land shots through mid doors.

Now an autosniper, on the other hand, gets you a kill and tons of damage to two other enemies mid on Dust II. If you're on NIP.

Good tool, but it only shows me the past 8 games. Could the rest be too far back? Skimming the reddit thread didn't provide much info on that.

The OP says you need to launch it every 8 games (because it can only get 8 games).

I am pretty decent with the AWP, but oh my god I am so bad with the autosniper. I'll spam it down mid and miss like 8 shots and get picked by an M4.

ScreaM is a one hell of an inconsistent monster, yes you heard me right; i said inconsistent. he thinks that every time is a time to 1-tap, thus being so heavily reliant on 1tap(ak)/2 bullet(m4) bursts to the head doesn't give you much room for error. its a playstyle he has developed for himself over the years.

while there's not denying he looks good on paper; with a stunning 78% headshot ratio in competitive matchmaking, he has his flaws in his style. i'd say his weakness is his strength.

At this point I'm surprised the valve guys don't reverse image search every sticker/skin they're about to put to the game. They could've easily found out the deviantart page that way.

We still need to do that thing where one goon steals another goon's image and makes it a CS skin. We all buy 400 of them and get rich once it gets made contraband. Then we bet them all on fixed matches. Next level match fixing.

I invested 26 bucks in a MW Howl M4 based on precedent set by a DOTA item. It has paid off quite well (current market value $318). I suspect that is the only time it will happen though since every other instance has been quietly replaced, not made contraband.

"Investing" works if you pick up something that you know doesn't drop anymore and wait a long time, like ST USP Orion ($82 in June after removal from it's case, $336 today) or some of the old cases.

So I've been trying to get back into competitive, but as it turns out, not playing for a long time will tank your DMing skill. While I'm still shaking off the rust, I'm finding my aim in general to be way worse than it used to be. I'm doing a fair share of DMing (Valve DM, not community server just because I haven't found any good DM servers to play on), but are there any other maps I could use to get my aim back up to snuff?

Also, I have a replay here that I'd like some advice on. I never played Facade very much, and so I feel like not only was my shooting bad, but the general decision making was pretty poor. I'm vocal so I end up making a lot of the calls, but a lot of them are based on gut feelings rather than actual game sense. Most of the time I'm calling poo poo like "Let's go B? I dunno". Anyone want to take a peek at that replay and give me some tips in general/for Facade?
