He should have had that flank but remember we see stuff that freak doesn't. Maybe shroud didn't have the info that he was facing two dudes or he wasn't doing a good job of communicating that to freak

Adren is a big reason Liquid hasn't ever amounted to anything. He needed to be replaced a long time ago. He never goes big with the AWP and he just ends up being a big money sink.

The cries of the dead are terrible indeed; you should try not to hear them.
I admit I don't follow NA CS hugely, but whether or not he's a good AWPer, AdreN was definitely not dead weight in their games. Does nitr0 ever do much?

yes, he's actually normally a great entry fragger for them. When he and elige are "on," their T sides are really good. I'd say nitro, elige, and hiko are now the core of the team while fugly/adren could definitely be upgraded. Adren wasn't dead weight last night but the problem is liquid don't have a good awper, it's like the same problem c9 had before the failed shahzam era and then picking up ska. When they go up against a team like c9 they have no counter to skadoodle's awp, especially since he's super mobile and can be anywhere on the map.

Part of the problem is the lack of good NA AWPers. All of the ones that can do anything (Ska, jdm64, ShahZaam) are already locked down in their teams and are really unlikely to be traded because of the aforementioned AWPer drought. The only at least decent NA AWPer I know of that is a possibility is koosta.

I love playing games where the other team doesn't have a good awper, it's so relaxing and makes getting those entry frags a lot less stressful

I have found that after playing a lot of pistol DM to practice USP/P2000 I am now absolutely terrible at AWPing. What do you do to warm up for the AWP? I feel like those AWP DM servers aren't very useful in real match situations, but I get annoyed trying to AWP in normal DM since I get shot from the back so often due to random spawns

Community DM will get you shot in the back just as often but it's probably still the best way to maximize your 1 on 1 encounters in a non-arena setting against people who'll actually shoot back. The solution to getting shot in the back is to not care how you get killed in DM since you'll respawn less than a second later and no-one gives a poo poo what your stats are in DM and neither should you

e: community dm, not valve DM gosh!!!

It's not the stats that bothers me i couldnt possibly care less, i just get unjustifiably frustrated at the whole spawn -> take a step -> die instantly -> spawn -> take a step -> die instantly poo poo for too long but yeah i kinda figured just putting up with it is probably the answer

So when I've been playing HS only DM it can get frustrating. But, what I do is try to hold an area. So for instance. If I spawn long doors on Dust 11. I hold door. This gives me practice as if I was CT side. As well as if I was pushing A bomb site. On cache. I held checkers. People come from both directions so you get your T & CT fix. You'll get a couple of good engagements or maybe you get shot in the back. But when you run though 5 people it's awesome. Just try not to worry about getting shot in the back or ya know. Check your 6 more often.

I haven't found one with a cap of 12-14 people yet, but playing on servers taht are only partially full is the best. The default of 16-20 people on FFA DM servers is asinine exactly for that reason. With 10-14 you usually at least get to see the other person before you get shot.

I usually play on brutalcs' 18 player FFA servers in EU, the average level is pretty high and occasionally a pro drops in
