HR vs NIP should be a really good match today, both teams are doing really well and HR's new line up finally looking pretty solid.

Oskar is just amazing. I've been following his rise since I caught the game he was a try-out in for HR, it's been fantastic. I watched him and Olof in an FPL game via olof's stream the other day, and he honestly seems like Olof-2. Incredible aim, good positioning, and a chill dude on the mic. CS needs more chill dudes who are top of the pack.

HR looked really good in that map even though they lost, NIP clearly made a deal with the swedish devil for all of the Fnatic luck/skill.

Compettitive is weird. I just bottom fragged. went 15-19... Our team won 16-14, and yet they liked me and kept berating this other guy that had 2nd most frags on our team, because he didnt communicate as well. And I communicate like poo poo because I'm drunk. Plus, we went 10-5 on CT side Dust 2, and then everyone kept dicking around T side assuming we would win.... and when the other team went up 14-13 they got all pissy and one guy dropped.

As long as you're relatively close to the rest your team in frags, bottom fragging isn't that big of a deal. It's all about getting the important round winning kills and providing good info to your team. Most importantly, provide good vibes.

I was definitely the only person providing good vibes by mic. And the two times they pushed B I shut them down (One time I just fired blindly into my smoke and killed 3 guys somehow? The other they pushed right through the smoke and ....). So, I guess I did ok. It's probably time I played a competitive match sober.

but it raises a question:
I do ok playing B site on dust 2, but I never know how to rotate towards A site. I usually end up pushing through CT spawn and getting picked from someone at cross. Is this just based on info from your team or is there a good way to move from b to a?

You need to be aware of where the other team is, and where your teammates are. You will know what's been cleared already based on which ways they went. That comes with having good teammates though. Take some time and queue with players whom are much better than you, and play passively. This will give you an idea of how calls and rotates work with teams.

Maybe they were making fun of you but you didn't realize because you don't understand social cues?

I play B a lot on goonmans and do well most of the time. First thing is that if B is quiet and there's a lot happening mid and long A, you want to consider moving to B doors or B window.

Once it's time to rotate, one of the best things you can do is boost a teammate elevator if Ts aren't yet in site and if the cross is smoked. If it's too late for that or I don't have a teammate then I go cat because it's quick and has better angles than going thru CT spawn. But Ts know this and will often leave someone watching mid doors from cat, lower B tuns or T spawn, so you have to be careful.

I know pros will go CT spawn, and some good players on goonmans do as well, but imho its very difficult.
