These games are goddamn insane. Any of you planning on going to San Jose for ESL? I'm in LA, considering motorcycling or perhaps flying up. Would love to road trip up if anyone else is local !

They still brought TSM into overtime and could have tied it for second OT. Not too shabby.

Hey guys, a quick question for you. I'm a new player trying to get a start on some of the more advanced technical things.

What key binding (or method) are pro AWP'ers using so switch so quickly from their knife and back, and why are they doing this? I assume it's something related to animation canceling, but hitting Q seems like it would inhibit movement.

The only other binding that really got my interest was for the grenades.

Thanks

they just hit 3, and then 1

Why would Q inhibit movement? It's slower by like a tenth of a second.

it's a fairly safe bet 90% of the time and really at this point just a medium bet considering my inventory.

edit: so it's pretty obvious that TSM is the best in the world right now, they're manhandling fnatic.

It's actually not even a safe bet 77% of the time which is the point but ok carry on, I guess we need people taking that side of the bets to keep the odds irrational

I wouldn't necessarily say playing patiently will get you up in ranks. Since for whatever reason the goonstack I play with can't win MM despite being 5 ripe players I've gotten good at solo qeueing for rank purposes. Honestly you just gotta learn how to react to what your teammates are doing, make sure you're playing in synergy with other dudes in dependant positions with you. If they push should you hold or fall back or push to? basically mix any of those 4 options in that sentence and know the answer to those questions at all times and that's all you need as a CT player in mm.

Then start thinking in a grander scale. Say on cache if your teammates rush B halls and see nothing you should know that they have a lot of people set up towards A, which means you should fall back a little bit to get ready to delay the 4 or 5 people about to come at you as much as you can without dying so you can get the retake when your B players finish wrapping.

Basically you need a mindset that will let you make something that looks like a strategy out of the randomness of habits that is MM.

E: also in everything except a zerg rush you should bee able to figure out when to rotate in MM games. Between the map and gunshots you can hear across the map and the killfeed you have plenty to figure out that the other site needs your help without them asking.

To add to this, I feel it's better to use smoke grenades as they are usually used. To block visibility as you gently caress off to a new path.
