I have failed my community, teammates, and organization. I would like to offer a sincere apology to s1mple for the poor decision I made last night. The way I behaved was unacceptable. I expect better from myself, and will do all I can to meet those expectations going forward. This experience has taught me that one slip up can cost you everything. At the end of the day I would like to make amends with s1mple and move forward from this. I hope he and the community can forgive my actions.”

Cruise is cool in casual because if you kill the one or two CTs that try to enter boat bar, you can easily flank everyone else and then they get mad at you.

I was hoping there'd be a mini blitz campaign or guaranteed drops for winners or something. It's fine for what it is but XP is beyond worthless.

As far as I can see it, the operation only changes your one drop per week to one of the "wildfire" collections, it doesn't actually add anything else. So you still only get one drop per week, which is p. lovely. :saddowns:

Reddit freaked the gently caress out about it and that's why he got punished now. This drama and what followed (douchebag Thorin managed to turn his take on it into a 20 minute video lmao) were dominating the front page for like two days.

I'm talking about guns, not cases. You've only ever been able to get one skin per week since the XP system was introduced (when you first level up after the reset). Cases still drop randomly (requiring more playtime after each drop) and getting two in a week usually doesn't take that much playtime.

To be fair what he did was way out of line considering s1mple had to leave his friends back in Ukraine or wherever just to continue his career. Idk if the reaction is really justified but he was super loving dumb anyway.

Freak is in entirely PR recovery mode because his whole schtick besides being a mediocre player is being this positive anti-bullying guy, he actually filmed a YouTube video with his mom about how bullying is bad. His Twitter reads like a self help book for nerds.

He apparently not only logged into mumble during a match he wasn't in, he logged in under stewie's name.

Yeah pretty sure that's how it happened, I'd imagine it was on purpose because English isn't simples first language and all American accents are hosed up in a lot of ways.

Anyway, I'm also lolling at the idea of a fully grown buffed up man who plays video games as an actual profession attending a seminar for anti bullying alongside a bunch of teenagers, some of which probably know who he is.
