Really? Last time I looked at it, it didn't have any cool movement or any of the things that make arena shooters cool

I mean it has anything a UT ever did, dodging and walljumping and all that.

qhat posted:

Does the new UT have ranked matchmaking yet? I would play it so hard if it did.

Idk about matchmaking but in the pre-alpha right now they're introducing some kind of "season" system. All they have so far is just keeping track of stats like multi-kills and headshots and stuff, but there's solid speculation that they're going to be doing things like ladders for various gamemodes.

I'm having the same issue? Weird.

Apparently listings aren't being sorted properly. So your listing gets posted for, say, $10.00 but isn't listed as the cheapest price even though the next cheapest one is $12.00. poo poo makes no sense.

Just don't do what I did an disable Steam Guard to see if that fixes it. It kills your market for 15 loving days.

RIP betting sponsors

quote:

As CS:GO continues to grow around the world, so does the market for gambling in-game CS:GO items in various ways online. Valve, the developers behind Counter-Strike have made it clear that no professional teams should have any association with betting as it pertains to CS:GO weapon skins.

Over the past few months we have seen an increase of these organizations sponsoring semi-professional or professional teams in an attempt to market their website. To us, this is a direct conflict of interest with the League and the guidelines set forth by Valve.

The following excerpt is from the announcement by Valve following the bans of players earlier this year, “Professional players, teams, and anyone involved in the production of CS:GO events, should under no circumstances gamble on CS:GO matches, associate with high volume CS:GO gamblers, or deliver information to others that might influence their CS:GO bets.

To clarify – as a professional player, team manager or event production staff, it is common to have personal relationships and/or privileged information about other teams and players. Because of this, we will always assume that you have access to private CS:GO-related “inside information” that might give you an unfair advantage when placing a bet on any CS:GO game or match.”

Valve was clear when sending their message, and we fully intend to stand by it. Playing throughout all divisions in ESEA League is the direct path to Pro League, the largest CS:GO League in the world. Being directly sponsored by a gambling website, no matter the division, is not something we want in ESEA League, as it is detrimental to the integrity of the overall League.

We have reached out to all teams who were directly sponsored by these websites and informed them that they needed to change their name. Moving forward, those who chose to accept sponsorships from gambling websites will not be able to actively promote them via the team name or tag. Failing to comply by these rules will result in the team being banned from the ESEA network until they are willing to comply.

Really? That's winning 5 100k tournaments a year if everything's going to the players but i bet they see fraction of the prize money with a huge chunk going to the team and managers

At ESL Cologne the teams & players earned $4.2 million from sticker sales and such. $4.2M / 16 teams / 5 players ≈ $50k on average. The org takes a cut, say a third, so $33k. 3 majors a year * $33k ≈ $100k.

Add the base monthly salary to that ($3-4k a month) plus all other tournament winnings and you can see that top players earn easily $200k-300k a year.

Sticker sales go to the org... The org can have in their player contract how much of the sticker sales go to the player. It can be nothing, 50%, everything, or whatever. Often the organizations offer less salary to the players in exchange for a better cut of the sticker sales. That's what I heard anyway

Sponsorships. Example, every time a C9 player is seen, they're pimping Logitech, Corsair, and so forth. Orgs can afford to pay pro players even before tournament wins.

it depends on the contract but some orgs actually give almost all the winnings to the players; this is just popular teams that are a sponsor's wet dream though

This is most likely true because it's incentive to do well (no one wants bad ppls stickers), it offloads your cost of running the team, and it has the potential to be really good for the player so they're going to take it.
