I'm taking the crazy bo1 matchup coming up and how dig vs clg is a total wtf tossup-matchup to begin with into consideration. He had some amazing clutches today. I'm just hoping his back doesn't break tomorrow so it's risky

I can't decide to go for vexed or c9 though my american roots will betray me AS THEY ALWAYS HAVE

Can't wait for the actual bo3s to start though, then I can actually not guess on picks constantly

You can basically prestige now in csgo. Resetting your rank for a service medal badge. How dumb.

I had never noticed it, maybe I was never high enough level but who cares about a stupid service medal you get from just queuing in games. It takes no skill to get one. Plus ranking up doesn't matter either, other than drops

Can't say I'm displeased with my roster that doesn't have expensive players behind it (well, I got lucky with allu)



I am glad that there is a mechanic that can make some of these things suddenly very valuable. It does a good job of pushing attention onto players.

This is what trade confirmation emails look like in plaintext:

This is what they look like with HTML enabled:


Traditionally, plaintext means you can see all of the text.

I also filed a ticket at the suggestion of a friend who had been scammed and got the trade reversed. I don't expect anything either way but I do think the plaintext email is a security issue.

:shrug:

Please don't feel bad for me and offer me pity skins, all of the money that went into these skins came from my esports betting research fund. I expected to lose them one way or another. I'm not really that upset, I'd be worried if I was. It's mildly amusing because banks make the same mistakes. Thankfully this is only clown dollars

Edit: okay I'll take these pity skins they're really nice thanks :3:

Using this trade to highlight another small, but important UX oversight: when the window is the "wrong" size, it's easy to miss the top of the window where all the warnings are. I think the steam profile URL should also be included in the trade URL somehow for maximum visibility.

Someone in the comments called him out for being wrong too. Then they edited their comment to say they were mistaken and you still don't save time by quick switching.

It's good for unzooming, or cancelling a reload.

Rofl. So I opened the cluj napoca stream last night before I went to bed, just got back from work with two cbble cases and a dust II case in my inventory. I've watched every major with drops so far and had one Dust II case to show for it. Do I sit on these cbble crates? The older ones seem a fair bit more valuable.

Lipstick Apathy
Given that there are still thousands of cobble cases sitting around from last event, cobble cases will probably sit at $20 and slowly dip as stupid people willing to throw away $20 of potential for a gold-stickered common item fall into bankrupcy and more and more people try to undercut each other. They likely won't make a big comeback unless something big happens like souvenirs being allowed for trade-ups or an alteration to the souvenir packages occur like StatTraks starting to appear from them; two tournaments ago you could sell a cobble case for $40 so prices have gone down and I doubt there is any real reason for them to go up, and there are only going to be more souvenir packages dropping in the coming days. My recommendation is to sell.

e: Unless you actually were meaning to open it in which case good luck!! I think there was someone in this thread that managed to get something ridiculous from one.
