can u run n jump?
yeah. i was wanting to watch hiko more than LG though. PGL has a lot of nice touches, it seems like they're real casters/its a real sport more than, say, esl or any other series

You'll get back into the swing of things pretty fast. I came from an even longer break, having only played this game semi-seriously back in the 1.X days and once the base mechanics were down I pretty soon started to feel like I had a leg up on most people (at the lower ranks) when it came to gamesense and mid round decision making/calls. Just give it some time and you'll soon be clicking heads like you never took a break at all.

Am I being a dumb gently caress, or is jumping and awping mid jump actually a thing now? I've seen a couple people in d2 long jump from the pit and HS someone at the bomb a couple times. I've been playing some aim maps to figure out the recoil. Seems a bit different than Source from what I remember.

Nice video. I have an old one buried somewhere where I clutched a round in a match against another CAL team by killing the dude with a flash bang bouncing off him.

Also it doesn't seem like in GO you can shoot barrels in dust and furniture in office.

Kind of but no. While you can jump and awp, you'll only hit your shots if you're very lucky and the RNG is on your side and the same goes for most of the guns, having varying severe accuracy penalties for being mid air- but if you pay attention to the scope when zoomed in you'll see it blur out when both jumping and moving (except when you crouch-move). Only when there's no opacity on the scope lines will your shots have 100% accuracy.
Now try jumping with the scout while zoomed in. When you're at the apex of your jump you'll see that the scope clears up and you'll actually be as accurate mid-air as you are standing still, and it's simultaneously the worst and best mechanic in cs:go.

The recoil is different, but the same principles of all guns having different and mostly predictable recoil patterns still apply, it's just a matter of learning the new ones.


Also barrels and such that used to have physics have now become completely static objects, which is really nice because you no longer get stuck on them at the worst possible moments. Atleast you can (and should) shoot and break potted plants on other maps.

There isn't any info about the actual server in the group. Not sure if that's intentional or nobody cares to change it.

combined with TSM being really good on D2 like somebody said, it's also not unheard of for VP to just poo poo their pants on a map once in a while.

dust2 has always been VP's worst map by far and I'm wondering why they vetoed inferno instead. They might have been working on it I guess and sensed TSM being weak, and decided to gamble it.

It's hard to go through pure aggression on dust2 Tside, it's a much more meticulous map where you need to get picks. VP are very much an explosive team

Unless it goes to OT they always say that poo poo. I can't count the number of times I've seen players walk away with a 4 or 5k and have them be like "pretty solid 3k right there"

VP in a really tough spot, since TSM has a pretty strong economy right now. Unless they can manage to win consecutive rounds, they'll lose due to the economic disadvantage.
