The defusing hitboxes are bad. Aim for the torso of a defuser, never the head.

For the other betters in here, what's the best way to offload the endless amounts of junk skins you get with your winnings? I'm talking about like all the 50 cent pieces that are too small to put on your safe bets, but might be too big to throw away on underdog bets. Just unload onto the market? I haven't found it worthwhile trying to trade several smaller worth items for a single larger worth one.

I keep my lovely skins to bet on huge underdogs (like 90%-10% matches) on the offchance it'll payoff. I don't think it's worth the effort/time to post them back to the marketplace.

I'm super lazy and always just use the contract thing in the inventory to trade 10 small into one big skin. You lose money doing this but I don't find it useful to have all the low value skins lying around. The underdog dumpster is always a good choice too.

I think the obvious answer here is just accumulate them and then start making bigger bets once you have a large enough pool

Or just sell them on the marketplace, you're going to lose a ton of value on trade-ups

I don't particularly Like Tobi as a caster (and not as a person) but I'm pretty sure he'd do a better job than any current one as long as he picks up on the game quickly enough. Casters in go are Low compared to dota and league and starcraft Imo

Maybe because there's simply more to analyze and communicate in those games

I like that flipside is one of the few strong T side teams. It seems like the culture is to basically struggle out 4-5 on T side for most teams and just hope they struggle less than the other team on CT. Flipside on the other hand can pull out a number of T rounds on almost any map.

Anders and Semmler are the best CSGO casters imo.

The problem with CSGO casters is that they don't know when to shut the gently caress up. Example: KennyS is 2 kills into what will be an ace for him. Meanwhile the caster is saying "my friend my friend" in a paszabiceps impression.

I think I got lucky with my teammates. They were all nice and friendly. The top fragger on the other team was the quintiestial CSGO rear end in a top hat, twitch.tv tagname and bitching about his "retarded teammates" the whole game.

Besides hitbox issues it might have been a latency issue, you hovered here for a bit and then fired as you jerked down immediately, it's possible the bullet decided to shoot right above the guy.. might have hit him if you solidly zoomed right in on his body instead of above him and did a quick drag shot.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but haven't you only started playing recently? CSGO has a really brutal uphill learning curve, so prepare to get fisted quite a few times in goonmans. Just keep playing against better goons and you'll start to see improvement steadily. I would also download the demo of the goonman you were in and look at what you did wrong/could have done better, as well as look at the players who know what they are doing.

It was less being bad and more me salting out on the last half. 90% of it was just never being able to make a shot before I got killed.

Huh. I do have poor ping, but I've never noticed anything like that. The bullet hole seems to be where you'd expect, at least:

No need to apologize, we all have games like that. Usually if I'm getting frustrated I just step away and do something else after the game.

When you were on there, there were goons with a higher average skill level than normal online, so don't take it too hard.

Don't apologize. The first time I goonmanned I went 0-11-0 on Mirage before the server crashed. I still had a good time and so did everyone else. The score is just a number, the game itself is what you need to have fun with.
