You guys realize I was using the absolute best case numbers in the first prediction that came out to be 107%

My realistic one under that was 44%

What I meant by bad math is that literally that is the incorrect way to calculate probability. Each round watched gives you a 415/500,000 chance. (1/1000ish). pollyzoid is correct that (1-(1/1000)^1290 gives you a more accurate number.

There's not much you can do, it's a very CPU dependant game and you can lessen the load on the GPU by putting stuff on low settings, but for the CPU other than putting stuff on lowest there's not that much you can do other than maybe close whatever else you got running.

i guess what i'm saying is it seems like it takes a long time to settle even counterstrafing but people will aggressively one-tap my thigh incessantly

I'm not sure it works like this, because I'm really a rifler, but when you counter-strafe during a stutter step you're using the acceleration of the counter strafe to break faster.. If you are counter strafing while scoped in wouldn't you break slower? I think you're supposed to counter strafe while/right before scoping in.

Nope. Pretty much just counter strafeing, crosshair placement, and netcode. Same with every other gun. Get your jiggle peek on.

Quit everything else, turn everything down to the lowest setting. That's how I was able to survive for a few months on a Macbook.

quickscopes ain't perfectly accurate either. If you want to be aggressive with an awp, you have to take heavy risks.

If you ain't an awper usually and end up with an awp in a game just play a passive awp imo.

I have the same sensitivity as kenny S which makes me kenny S because that's how this game works.

its not that hard tho -- i was in a production of fiddler on the roof in elementary school as the iconic, destitute, jewish milkman, tevye and it was in front of dozens of people. even when put into a situation where i am actively being watched, i crushed it. i have a long, illustrious history of crushin it.

I disagree friend

The pistol rounds in CS: Go are kind of dumb and the core of the game is full buys with grenades, which nv won by a substantial margin

You're right, I'm bad at reading comprehension

Inferno is also their best map.. It's going to be hard for them to close out the series.
