I had a beer once with Stephen Miller and now I like him.

I also tried to ban someone from a Discord for pointing out what an unrelenting shithead I am! I'm even dumb enough to think it worked!

Fnatic is such a terrifying T side team. It must be so demoralizing to give up so many rounds to them, knowing that it'll be even harder when you get on T side.

Wasn't 1.2 the last point when accelerated bunny hopping and midair deagling was still a thing? That was my favorite time in this game

The changelog for 1.3 says bunny hopping was removed but I think they just capped the max speed.

CS trivia time! The oldest map still played is cs_assault, released in beta 1.1 in 1999. Assault predates the ak and the deagle.

The oldest map that is still played competitively is nuke, released in beta 4. That's when I started playing.

These patch notes make me miss cs_siege. I hope they remake it some day for casual.

Eh. They want to grow the game. The number of smurfs and cheaters introduced from sales get's filtered out soon enough but leaves the new players who actually want to play. I think it's a good thing in the end. The only reason I bought CSGO was because it was on sale.

Does anyone know how the Katowice Souvenir packs work? Is it based on matches watched, time watched, or whether you watch at all?

I'd like to know too, at least for the Twitch integration. Do you need to be on the ESL site or Twitch itself, with the video in focus or not?

I linked my account and watched the stream at http://www.twitch.tv/esl_csgo and that's how I got my drop. I did refresh the site a few times so it's not like I was watching straight since however many hours ago. I also watched via Twitch and also the in game browser during Dreamhack and got nothing, and from what I'm hearing from some of the watchers it's not uncommon to go through a whole event and get nothing.

This makes major #3 where I haven't gotten a drop yet, with the games live on the client, and watching on twitch with accounts linked. There are still 2 more days, so hopefully I get one, but I'm not counting on it :(

It's actually extremely uncommon to get a drop; I think typically they drop a few hundred each time they do drops. With 200-300k viewing most of the time your odds are pretty terrible.

Christ how many times do I have to say it, wait a few months before selling a cobblestone souvenir package if you get one. The demand for the Dragon Lore is so absurd that the price will go up as long as there is less supply.

Here this is the lifetime price graph of Cologne's cobblestone package:

Yeah I'm hanging onto it for awhile, I tried to grab another cobble case for like 20 or 30 bucks while people were quick selling them but the guys running bots next to valve's servers got those before I could every time.

Cro is probably responsible for raising the price of that case by himself. He bought an insane amount of them (only to get nothing, by the way).

With how popular this game has gotten over the last few years I'd like to think that they'll add more stuff eventually.

good man. I was thinking of picking one up and sitting on it for a good long while myself, but the starting price is just a bit too high for me.
