Anyone want to paypal me the hundreds of dollars required for a 144hz monitor that I totally don't need or have the money for? I'll send you a nice stattrak m4a4 that's worth like $12.

If you guys want, I'll give you a good discount on coaching. Bout 20 an hour to learn the tricks of the trade, maybe show you 'round train. Extra 5 a month and you can join me on a CSGO Skype think tank with a lot of other pro players and special guests, gonna be great.

What I get from that is that it is something that can be trained and so it stands to reason that people playing CS more than likely are above average for their age group as well.

Uhhh not sure if you're being serious but that's not what you should be getting from that. You need perfect vision to become a fighter pilot in the first place so as a group of course they're going to have better abilities than the general population. real dilemma fucked around with this message at 17:41 on Jul 30, 2015 |

Both my mouse and mousepad are ~10 years old. MX510 and some giant black mat with no logo or any identifiable things on it. Seconding the 144hz-is-very-helpful chat. It's a huuuuge difference in FPS games and once I started to get better, switching the a 144hz is what vaulted me to the level I'm at now because I already had the aim and the 10 years of CS experience.

Ha, I used the blue microsoft optical mouse for like 12 years until it died. Kept the same mousepad though, in fact it is not a mousepad at all, but rather a very large black "printer mat" (something you're meant to put a printer on for some reason?) that I picked up from CompUSA when I was in high school. I have not even considered buying a new one at any point. I am considering upgrading my monitor for hundreds of dollars just to play a dumb game, though.

Does lowering the DPI on your mouse actually do anything?

On a whim I looked up some 144Hz monitors and found this guy: http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=113&cp_id=11307&cs_id=1130703&p_id=12178&seq=1&format=2 Currently $50 off and free shipping. Anyone willing to buy one and tell us your thoughts?

I don't know about FPS, but there have been studies which show actual benefits to gaming. For example: It's been shown that surgeons who play video games are, on average, better than surgeons who do not.

I'm thinking of buying a used desktop off craigslist. My laptop runs GO at about 50fps On the big big maps but for some.reason it causes the CPU to heat up to 85 degrees C lately. What's like the lowest recommended graphics card needed to get like 100fps.

my old netscroll died but we luckily had the exact same model laying around an office on the other side of town but it doesnt have the bottom side sanded off due to extreme use which is offputting also i changed the a4 sheets recently and they dont have the same drag and im missing shots so i switched to a Universal History book ----------------

Hopefully by the time I'm good enough for 144hz to make a difference in my play they'll actually be more affordable.

Do all major CS:GO tournaments use similar monitors e.g. only 1920x1080 native res 59hz refresh rate TNs? Or are they using higher refresh rates? When I got my 144, I noticed a change in my hit reg (although apparently it was around the time Valve hosed their hit reg up) just due to it 'feeling different' not being used to it.

I didn't claim it was affecting net code. I'm trying to explain that my aim was somehow worse for a little while when I switched until I got used to it. Hit reg may be the wrong phrase. My muscle.memory aim was suddenly wrong on the higher refresh rate. Does that help?

Tickrate and FPS are directly tied together though from a netcode standpoint. The reason valve is never going to add 128 tick MM servers is because a majority of csgo players can't maintain a minimum framerate of 128 FPS.

just had two guys playing with a controller kill the rest of my team over and over. i believe they were playing with a controller because although they somehow were able to kill my team they took a while to aim and went for body-shots, so they were pretty easy to click head. my team was screaming the entire time. i don't know how to feel about this. games get really strange (and salty) when you get crazy rank disparity of 4+ ranks

Very next game had a deagle only supreme and a cz only smurf on my team, we won and both the deag guy and cz did better than me by a bit because I'm garbage I have to admit even if MM is inconsistent lately, at least it's interesting
