Studies and gaming work okay together as long as you realize that there are moments when you will have to hurt your gaming habits in order not to hurt your personal and/or academic wellbeing. I mean you can become a speaking dorito or whatever but there won't be much gaming once you have no health, money, and/or time to play.

There was a year in college I didn't have internet in my apartment. I still played PS2/PC games in my apartment and torrented shows on campus, but it required some planning. That was a very good academic year.

I have never ever ever received a drop from a tournament and I've been watching from the day they started doing them. Is there anything more to it than simply linking your steam to twitch and tuning in?

Keep in mind that barely a thousand drop during huge tournaments and there at 120,000 people watching at times.

You can also open them if you're dumb. Like me. I opened a Souvenir BS Cerberus, but still. Not worth it.

Why not open it (unless it's like s cobble one that sells for 30$). No one is gonna buy a lovely one like dust2 for much so enjoy getting something unique.

Rule of thumb is sell Cobble and Overpass, open everything else. Cache is either or.

Just ran into a group of 7 people in MM who were in skype and were trading wins. Thanks for wasting 45 minutes.

\/ I think so. They kept talking about skype and they all had the same dumb gimmick. It wouldn't have been so annoying but the other 2 dudes on my team were complete dead weight. To put it in perspective I was playing really poorly and I still was second on my team.

I'm taking a week+ break from this game after queuing into 3 leavers and 2 extremely salty people back to back. I don't really care that much about the derank but those are just not very fun uses of time. Hopefully things will be better when I get back. I've also noticed theres much less of that at 5-11 pm than there is at 11 pm +

I'm totally in the same boat. If I play like poo poo, I play like poo poo. Even if we lose I always enjoy the matches. But when people just throw games and waste my time, that just kind of bums me out. poo poo, I don't even mind it when people ragequit anymore. I started a match 8-1 this morning, a dude on our team ragequit and we brought it back to win 16-14.

I wonder how easy this would be to pull off reliably by queuing for the least played map(s). I know people get to Global through solely playing maps like aztec/militia/vertigo with that same idea.

[STICKERS]
– Updated some player signatures with their latest submissions: device, dupreeh, Skadoodle, emagine, and literally, n0thing.

[UI]
– Fixed top nav bar becoming unresponsive.
– Recovered Watch Highlights button. Now can be used on any player in the match.
– Added ability to specify what round to begin watching downloaded demo from.
– Fixed bug where reloading Watch Panel would not preserve categories.

[MISC]
– Enabled lag compensation on pose parameters.
That last one should fix some hit registration issues in some common circumstances. Jumping/planting hitboxes are a separate issue.

It was on dust2 which was pretty surprising. It's possible the two guys on mics were bullshitting about it but they all had the same gimmick (down to named weapons). I can't imagine it's reliable unless they're using some region fuckery as well.

Look up the spreadsheet of onscreen's case opening stats. They're pretty grim.

I stopped opening cases. I think that 'you have spent' thing has me at around 400CAD, but I've also bought some keys from a buddy of mine too. I built up the rest of my ~$1600 inventory from trading and betting.

Our own 'demo' has the largest goon inventory I know of, primarily from betting.

Why would you ask? Either he is and now knows he can get a rise outta you so he'll double down, or you badvibe a player having a bad day and make him even more useless.

I mean the rest of NiP never asked Fifflaren if he was trolling, I'm pretty sure...

You can also use Abios or Gosubet if you don't want to submit yourself to the trash that are hltv and reddit.
Oh and there's also an iOS/Android app for The Score esport if that's your kind of thing.
