Yeah, you can gently caress off. I've watched every match of every major and gotten 0.

Fnatic is probably going to win, but I really hope NiP puts up a good fight.


edit:

All of the items from order have now been shipped:

1x Spectator Pass - CEVO Season 6 LAN Finals - Default Title

That's a dumb distinction to make. That's like saying the Yankee's WS wins between 1923-1978 don't count because the current team wasn't alive then.

Oh that. I saw that, I didn't know it was called a pixel walk. I always heard it referred to as the triple boost.

Yeah, I really didn't like that they stopped the match and ruled on that strat. Boosts are just a thing in CS, it's gonna happen. I also particularly hated that people were treating it like they had cheated. A common line I kept hearing was "Fnatic sat on this strat for a YEAR(6 months, some amount of time) and didn't alert valve or tell anyone about it!".

No poo poo. It's a powerful spot. They're going to keep it quiet till they really need it. If valve wanted to patch it out afterwards that's fine, but it wasn't like they had glitched out of the level and were killing people from the skybox.

If that spot had been kept in the game all that would have happened would be that overpass would be an insta-ban in map selection. But stopping the match because they were winning too hard was dumb.

Didn't they have a thing in the rules about doing stuff like that though? I don't remember the competition rules because I don't care enough but I remember hearing that. In which case the organisation should have stepped in pretty quickly but they let it go for a lot of rounds. I doubt having that in there was intended but there's a lot of wonky stuff in the game. Like I think they should disable the ability to throw grenades from banana through the outside of the map into the new box spot. But then i remember reading about other things I consider weird things happening like the skybox being lowered so you bounce grenades off it.

Yeah. It broke two rules if I remember correctly. Pixel-walking and you could use the boost to make textures invisible.

They said there was no rule against pixel walking. Reddit found an old rule book where that rule was still in from 1.6 or something. The problem there was that the current rulebook wasn't on the site or something. The texture invisible part was a rule which caused more drama because there were a couple rounds where LDLC did a less gamebreaking boost that also saw through textures. Initially during the game the admins said it was legal. The whole thing was hilarious.

Doesn't it depend on the server itself?

What? No, smokes off of skybox and such are the coolest.

:colbert:

Learn the cool smokes yourself, its the best feeling when you nail a tricky smoke. (Like the window smoke from T spawn on Mirage)

cl_updaterate is limited to the server value. Set it to 99999999 and it will still be 64 on Valve servers.
