Is there much of a European goon presence in CS:Go or is it more of an across the pond kind of thing.

I'm EU and recently came back after many many years of absence. Does seem like most of the goons are US based, and sub.io is always empty when I'm playing. Would be nice if there were more EU goons :)

I think there's quite a few of us eurogoons, but we seem to be a pretty insular bunch. I mostly play with other scandinavian friends who prefer playing with other scandinavians, which unfortunately leaves a lot of the continent out in the cold

Here's the SMFC profile I mostly play on when it's not with other bork borks, so add me if you want I guess

I'm eu and yoyoing between mge and dmg. It distinctly reminds me of yoyoing between nova 4 and mg months ago but slightly better.

Was there a vac wave recently? Over the weekend I saw a lot of 14 hours accounts and dmgs playing like silvers. By that I mean never buying armour, knowing zero about grenades and refusing to push out ever even when I got the opening pick for them. The week before I saw nothing like that.

Ok so I got a better performing server than last time hopefully!

Connect 54.76.174.209

I'm at work so I can't test it, I just made it so it might even be broken. Goons please get in here and start playing. Let me know how it goes. I seem to remember the server started getting a bit weird at 7 players or more before but hopefully this is gone now as this server has like triple the power.

No joke the p90 helped me a lot as I was working my way through silver and low nova ranks until I got the Ak and m4 sprays down. It has its place in comp, but its definitely not an eco buy. Its Ok for holding corners as CT I think but then again I'm terrible so who knows.

P90 is a good gun for a lot of situations but the best is if you get a couple kills pistol round and p90 after. I usually can keep it until like round 5 or 6 because people just fall before its might.

The only issue with this is that you don't bank nearly as much money as if you used any other SMG. I mean if you can survive 5 or 6 rounds without dropping for anyone anyway it doesn't really matter, but just a thought.

I have made MGE through mainly solo queuing and am at a stand still. I know I need to work on my AK spread, because as of right now I would rather use an mp7 or sg553. I feel like I just don't understand how much to pull down. I kind of have it down for the m4, but still use a 3-4 burst with it instead.

Is moving past MGE just understanding where to throw smokes and just working on headshots? I know I am still poo poo at this game, but I feel like I get to MGE and then just hit a wall.

learn to tap

unbind your reload key and play headshot only dm until you can tap heads consistently (tdm if ffa is frustrating (it is for me))

hold angles and play like you would in an actual game, don't just run around like a retard

This is true but the trade off is that it carries over to rifle rounds and you don't have to worry as much about them assholes who do second round pistol/armor buys.

Focusing on HS only DM as a new player is a good way to pick up bad habits in a spray heavy game like GO. Practice pulling down for the first 7~ shots on a wall and get used to that. Play a bunch of regular FFA DM and review your own demos. Better yet post a few of your own demos here to be reviewed.

It does but more often than not you'll die to a site rush after you take 2 or 3 guys with you. If it's the third round after two wins on CT the P90 is a good choice but I'd probably take the MP7 to build up bank and then ditch it when the 4th starts. Certainly doesn't apply if you're playing spots like fast cat or lurking a close angle with a teammate baiting into you or something.

Thanks for these videos, I will watch them tonight! Also I feel like when I am trying to hold an angle, it is like I am not quick enough on my response to shoot them, or I am aiming in the incorrect spot so I have to move my mouse and I am already dead.

position your crosshair further away from the wall, try to estimate your reaction times instead of trying to force yourself to react at the fastest possible moment. ya win some and ya lose some but if you're holding an angle with your crosshair positioned in a place where you can react properly at least you have a shot

i will say holding angles was far more viable in 1.6, at least it feels that way to me; in 1.6 i could demolish kids holding a tight angle and run away without taking much (if any) damage when poo poo got heated but it doesn't feel the same way in go

one more thing: demos should be stored in STEAMDIR\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\csgo\replays

this might be inaccurate now, haven't checked

then just take the .dem file and put it on mediafire/zippyshare or something
