I'm sorta struggling through the same boat, just at DMG instead. Mostly, my solution has been "stop making stupid plays", especially on CT. Did you get a sweet fastpick on A site last round? don't go back to the well. People at MGE-DMG are finally actually paying attention to the game. When you're holding common positions, maybe don't play them super aggressively. People will actually prefire quad or forklife on cache A, for instance, and there's a reasonable chance that if you're just sitting on the corner staring down your barrel, you won't be able to react in time.

Adren's video on consistency is also super helpful. He talks about consistency not being a matter of aim, but a matter of positioning. Sure, if the other team sucks you can get away with constantly peeking mid with an m4 and playing those aggressive angles, but as soon as someone on the other team has a modicum of skill, bad tactics won't work. It might feel like "oh man, i'm just missing shots" but you always sucked and you were always missing shots, the opponent just let you get away with it.

So basically, play smarter, not harder.

As for T side. throw grenades, get return kills.

Tbh at DMG and MGE people still suck major balls and those cheesy strategies still work perfectly fine if you're out aiming them. Likewise holding a good position doesn't mean poo poo if you're still aiming like dogshit in comparison to your enemy. Consistency honestly doesn't mean jack poo poo in solo queue because there are so many random factors.

Is there a reliable list of what collections don't drop any more? I see a bunch of otherwise unremarkable skins rise in price and the only reason I can think of is you can trade up into valuable things that don't drop.

IIRC the only that don't drop at all anymore are:

Alpha
Assault
Baggage (?)
Militia (?)
Vertigo (?)

Yup. I bounce between LEM and Supreme, and don't really use any strategy at all. Just like pre-ban waves you could aim yourself to DMG, you can aim pretty much aim yourself to global now. MM ranks are a joke(but it's still fun so *shrug*).

it'd be cool because the m4s is a accurate gun where u gotta be precise and preserve ur ammo where its alternative is loud and less accurate and encourages more spammy shots

idk i guess the reduced ammo cap already does that

I've read though the thread and searched but didn't see if anyone has started a CS GO team. I'm a gold nova 2 looking to play competitive without having to randomly matchmake and deal with all the derankers and squeekers. Nothing too serious, just have some fun. 170+ wins, 450+ hours

I think I'm gonna take a break from this game again. I'm gonna start a new job soon and maybe I'll use my free time to read or something rather than spending like 3 hours a day playing or watching counterstrike and see how that goes. Gonna cut down on the computer time, go outside maybe. I dunno, something. See you guys around, I'll be back at some point in the future. Probably like 3 weeks if I know me.

Dead? The dream is back, Australia has a servicable tier 2 team again :angel:

e: Watching Immunity develop as a team over the last 6 months (since they lost Yam & went to Faceit/Gfinity) has been more exciting than the original Vox adventure. I really like them.

Team Liquid is doing better now that they dropped someone (NAF-FLY?) and picked up Hiko. They have a shot at becoming the second-best NA team.

Dig is also doing seemingly better now since they dropped Nico for schneider.

Liquid beat Renegades for the spot and Renegades looked absolutely cooked. Not sure that particular result means much but (I can't believe I'm saying this about a team that still has Adren) Liquid look alright.

Dignitas are still Dignitas, don't get your hopes up

RNG once almost lost to the worst iteration of Dignitas from a 12-3 T half
