Just played against a team that got a bit of a carry.



Two people left at second overtime, just gave him more chances to kill us.

That's not uncommon at all. Lots of places block almost everything, even software companies.

Blocking twitch I could understand--it's definitely going to be a distraction to some degree. Gmail, though?

If they block those sorts of things, I would imagine using anything to get around it would be a quick and easy way to get fired, obviously.

odds on Dignitas vs EnvyUs seem really skewed, gonna drop a couple bucks on Digi because of their recent performance.

Value of my bet in the next game gets lower and lower as Penta get closer and closer to winning.

And they keep delaying the game so it gets worse and worse.

Edit: lol oh well after beating Envy they've turned into silvers against NiP.

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?

I play a lot of B and going Cat or CT spawn is dependent on how many and what weapons. If the bombs planted for long and there are only 2 people I'll go cat Medium range against the person with the AK and I can either smoke site to defuse or sneaky beaky it without getting caught. If Awp is @ goose Ct spawn closes the distance and it's easier to engage. I usually jump on the dumpster next to ct spawn to pick the Ak person then move to ramp to engange awp where he will be exposed.

cat is probably one of the worst ways to retake the site. so many angles and the grenades just bounce right on you. ct or long(if you have time) is better imo.

In MM you have time to go long, in regular bombtime you pretty much have to go short.

In an ideal world you have 3 players A and 1 B, but most people will end up in a 2-1-2 situation. Although that's not particularly great, it does give one B player free reign to be very fast on rotations/info gathering. It isn't unreasonable to suggest that the B player should be flanking behind an A rush on cat before the bomb is even down.

As for flat out CT spawn vs cat retake, cat is infinitely preferable if you're alone. Obviously if there's 2 of you, splitting up is the best way, but if you have a choice, cat should be your choice. Why? There's no weird height discrepancy which gives the T's an advantage in aimduels, and in doing so you also clear a possible position they will be using to hold the bomb.

It was everything i expected. There were delays, disconnects, and bad casters with worse camera control. My favorite moments were missing a 4k by moe because the camera was on the other side of the map, steel killing uber with a decoy, and clg red saying that torqued's pause was because they were on tilt.

Azubu is bad. There should be more LANs.

Edit: also azubu chat thinks i'm some other player named Phos?????
