I like to have someone toss a flash for me and rush squeaky every few rounds on T side Nuke. Just having someone down in vents who could pop out anywhere will gently caress up so many defenses.

Is there a good series going over each map in turn, showing locations and strategies for each? I don't mean just flashes or smokes, I mean positioning, and where to expect pushes.

Edit: alternatively, good historical matches to watch of pros

quote:

Then, prior to the latest DreamHack-ran CS:GO major in the Romanian city of Cluj-Napoca, Byskov tried to find out what was happening with his contract, only to be told that he was surplus to requirements from an organisational perspective. The team owner, Andy “Reginald” Dinh, stated that he no longer wanted to pay Byskov for doing his job.

“Freddy was told in no uncertain terms that Regi didn’t think he was worth the money,” the source continued. “The same was repeated for the potential hiring of an analyst. They didn’t want to invest the money in the team. He was told he wouldn’t be kept on as part of TSM whatever happened at the major. This really upset the team as they all feel that Freddy is a big part of the squad and looks after them all well.”

Man it seems like League of Legends players have a bad time handling teams

Dunno who GBJames is, but if I know RLewis, this guy probably disagreed with him in good faith and RLewis blew up, called him mentally ill and banned him from posting on his twitter. That's the usual MO.

Richard Lewis explained this decision. They pay well and have loads of lawyers so he's protected from the NIP organisation.
Also he wants to bring esports to a broader audience. The whole thing confused me at first, too

So after getting fed up trying to compete with the USP in pistol servers, I gave in and started spamming the glock even at moderate to long ranges. That thing is like a fuckin' five-seven lite. I don't know why I never even considered to just empty mags down range even if they're 90 feet away. You'll either kill them by sheer volume or you can start grouping shots on their head once they stop to try and tap you down.

Be the change you want to see in MM. Every round not rushing long or short is wasted imo.

Sure, I try to, it's just annoying because everything would be so much easier if I had someone with me to trade. More often that not 3-4 people in the team speak only Russian/Polish/French/whatever, so you can't really affect what they do.

Edit: Anyhow, I'm not trying to whine too much, just saying that CS is much more fun when you can communicate with the people on your team and everyone knows the basic decisionmaking process. And I feel like people playing on other maps have a better graps of those things, no matter how well they play otherwise.

The USP is a silenced laser, its only downside is it only comes with 24 bullets. I love sitting in pit on d2 eco rounds and waiting until a few T's are long. You just pop out and start headshotting and most of the time they don't figure it out until they are dead or dinked.

This is why we use the P2k, because having the silencer doesn't matter unless you're lurking or on retake. Considering I often am playing for a stand-up fight, I'll take the staying power of 52 extra boolets.
