I'm watching the dota 2 international right now, and it's pretty funny to see 12th place getting $220k out of a prize pool of $18mil+ compared to the total prize pool of $250k featured in the upcoming ESL cologne
It's pretty mind boggling to think about finals in that vein. Imagine yourself playing when wrong click can decide that you are not getting a bit above million, prior to deductions.

Id assume they didnt get rid of the 1 shot kill power considering five seven can still do it, but I haven't played for a month so load up a bot map mate... pleas report back.

It's definitely still a 1 shot hs at close and not so close range even when the enemy is wearing a hat

Cat chewed through 2 microphone cables in the past 3 weeks. Anyone know of a decent mic with a thicker cable? One that isn't super expensive.

Get an interface and an SM-58. Uses 1/4". Or a usb mic with the braided cable?

It's too late, the cat has developed a taste for copper wires. You have to return it for stickers before it bites through your main electrical line and you're house burns down.

What would reverse even entail - terrorists defend from counter-terrorists with bomb or the tasks remain, just spawns differ?

The official map name is called Mirrored Dust2. I had it on my server and it indeed fucks with the very way you peek corners.

There's a brain dis-order that actually causes this to happen in normal people just going about their daily lives. Well, the difference is, the world doesn't flip on an axis, but it feels the exact same way (completely disorienting and harder to navigate, like something's 'changed')

Also, the middle of the pack in terms of good players is something like 2 @400 dpi. Pretty much 90% of good players are in 1.7 to 2.5 @400 with a bunch of exceptions because whatever

Congrats I guess, that means you'll probably place in nova once you've gotten your ten wins

Even if you don't have a displayed rank, you still have a rank in the system and it'll do its thing to have you meet what it considers equal opposition

Most ranks are meaningless shades of incompetence either way, so stop worrying about your frags before time.

take a learn from masters of go, the gay rear end checkers meets reversi from japan and quickly lose your first 1000 games. Just play and your rank will eventually settle then be matched to people who are as good/bad as you are and with that info ppl will be able to tell you what to work on.

since you seem to be very new, i'd say watch some warowl adren 3klikphillip or READ TEH FREAKIGN OP!!! and work on crosshair placement and burst firing.
and never shoot moving please thank you

No one knows for sure but a lot of people think the game calculates your rank on a round-by-round basis. So if you lose a game 16-14 it won't cause as dramatic a shift in your rank as if you lose a game 16-2.

Also yeah, gold novas aren't good. I'm gold nova 4 and I'm not a good player. You'll probably rank into Silver 5 or Gold Nova 1 once you're done your placement matches. If you post a demo someone can probably give you some pointers.

I had mouse accel on at like 100 wins because I had the wrong thing to turn it off int he autoexec I made. its m_customaccel 0

I also had insanely bad framerate dips and stuff. This game is the most settings based game I've ever played in my entire life. You can be amazing with bad settings but it matters so much more than atmospheric fog being on in dota or whatever.

Just played against a guy who was named Silver Smurfer and had a private profile. He went like 15-22 and bitched the whole game. I think he may have been smurfing FROM silver.
