I have smaller hands and it's great, so much more comfortable than the rival. This is assuming a claw grip by the way, rather than a palm grip.

That's exactly what I'm looking for, I guess my choice is made. Thanks!

That's a good line-up. The only change I'd make is maybe GuardiaN instead of FalleN for Sniper.

The ~optimal~ way is probably to put guardian or another awper as entry fragger.

by the way, to enter the team sticker prediction thing, do I have to buy one of each team? or multiple for each round I think a team will win?

You can reuse the same sticker throughout the whole tournament. So you can reuse the same Na'Vi or Fnatic sticker all the way to the grand finals, provided they make it there. Locking your predicition in will lock your sticker in your inventory until the end of the day tournament, so you can't make a prediction and sell or apply the sticker when it looks like the team's going to lose.

I think he was actually pausing to make sure that the defuse was going to happen or that the game was truly over. At this point I don't think he actually knew what he was going to say. Until he lifted his head again and with all his nerd glory spouted the most insulting thing he could muster.

ESEA just released a new ranking system that isn't based on total poo poo. That being said it's still based on Elo, which is dumb and honestly I don't know why these services aren't just using something like Glicko already.

Given that fpl and now s league or whatever the gently caress it is only for ultra nerds does it make that much of a difference given that faceit is freeish, disclaimer i've only played 2 faceit games and had dull experiences there, 1 team quit immediately after warmup presumably due to their 300+ pings and the other was full of dickheads trying to throw. So not that different from matchmaking except the tickrate.

I kind of want to get away from matchmaking because of well, the cheating. I know its not supposed to be semicommon on the other services.

you still have to pay for faceit to get a semi decent experience, otherwise you're gonig to have games that false start like that. i always found esea games better but couldnt play often enough to justify paying a subscription

Cheating is obviously a bit less on Faceit because the pay wall, but it's going to be extremely low on ESEA. My main issue with Faceit premium is the servers are really hit and miss, some games will be fine but others just completely unplayable, and it's always been like that. I've also literally never had a human respond to a support message, which is dumb considering you're paying for the service.

An advantage that CEVO and ESEA have is that their pugs have dropins available when someone leaves. Half the time I just join a game in progress because it's quicker.

The servers are good and the players are good but there simply aren't enough of them in EU. Often 5 minute+ waits if you're 4 and even longer and sometimes infinite wait times if you're 5. Faceit literally gives you games faster than MM.

e: I often play late at night, and even soloing it's occasionally been impossible to find ESEA games in EU. I paid for it since december and only recently cancelled my sub in favour of faceit. Maybe I'll come back to it if I see the player count rise significantly after this update.

That is fairly sick. What are the comp settings on ESEA? I hate how Faceit disables friendly fire and has no timeouts and how the round end time is random. Is it the same or different on ESEA?

That could change with the new ESEA offering, we'll just have to wait and see.
