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?????

Yeah Azubu is real bad. That interview with m0e and steel was good though.

I know I'm better than most of these guys and I just need to put in time to rank up but holy gently caress its so hard when I get my third 30 kill game in a row and I still lose. I only had one other game where someone matched me in kills on my team and even then the rest of the team was single or barely scraping double digit kills. i need to stop solo queueing

while i understand the feeling, top fragging doesnt mean you did the helpful or decisive kills. it doesnt mean none of them mattered either, and its likely they couldn't capitalize on them, but still.

As a newbie and just grinding out the first 3 xp ranks I can confirm its not just in MM. Casual is exactly the same.

I swear that 50% of EU CS players are russian and 49% are polish.

All of them use voicecom to drunkshout or sing like first round eliminated X-Factor contenders.

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.

I love going cat when retaking A. If you are good you can get the guy watching cat and he's usually isolated. If you go CT or Long A that guy just has to turn around and he has a huge advantage over you. Throwing a smoke plat from cat also blocks like 3 of the best angles for Ts to hold. Also if you are quick enough to get to site before the Ts expect it you can really do some damage.

If you don't have fun getting 30 kills and losing then quit the game because its never going to be fun for you.

Fnatic is going to be 3-0 from Group A, because of course. Beyond that though, it's a toss-up for the second spot. I honestly don't know who it could be since all three teams are pretty decent.

TSM 3-0 Group B. I'm a G2 fan so I really want them to advance too, but it'll be either them or F3 (mousesports are a joke currently).

Group C is probably the hardest to predict, especially since Titan is now VeryGames -NBK +RPK. That'll be the group to watch.

Group D is definitely NV and Na'Vi, unless Dignitas can pull an ace out of their sleeve.

Wrong, bitch. Every skill level under high global is pretty much only about getting tons of kills. If you're consistently top fragging, just keep playing and you'll rank up.

I don't remember if I asked this before but how the hell do I rank up faster? And why is there a level restriction on competitive now? I played a match of it several (plus) months ago but haven't played much CS:GO at all, still not even rank 2. All I want is to shoot dudes with something on the line, is that so much to ask?

You have the format wrong, the group winner and loser each only play 2 maps (2-0 and 0-2), while the middle two 1-1 teams play each other in a BO3 to determine which team goes through. C9 has their dream group and they should be able to handle Luminosity in a BO3 if they prepare well enough. Vexed is most likely ending up the 0-2 team, but based on how Luminosity has played lately it could be them.

Totally disagree on mousesports, niko is on another level and that could be enough. Flipside is the 0-2 team there. Interested to see what form G2 shows up in after losing Scream.

Mouse beat F3 2-0 somewhere last week I believe and have been performing steadily for the last few months I believe.

I'd sooner count F3 out than Mouse. And with Kinguin losing ScreaM, I'm not sure how they'll perform now.

I did get the format wrong but I didn't know what it was so I just guessed.

LG has shown up twice for majors now to get into the Top 8, so they definitely do have a shot to get out of Groups. Of their past 12 matches (all NA though), they've only lost to Liquid twice and C9 once. Vexed also has a reasonable chance to upset.

NiKo showing up could help but it alone won't be enough, especially against TSM and possibly against G2 (who have been doing decently since they lost Scream). Flipsid3/Mousesports is still somewhat of a toss-up depending on the map.

People are gonna be using the p90 up to the highest ranks but I guess it becomes a slightly rarer sight and that the usage becomes more situational rather than someone running p90 all game because that just doesn't really work when the average person's crosshair placement, reaction time and positioning means you're usually dead before you can spray them down with a mad predictable rush

It also depends very much on the map. I pretty much run rifles only except for cobble where I can sometimes just go full on p90 playing drop as both T and CT
