Got my first ever cooldown today for shooting someone in the head at the beginning of a round while solo queuing. Guy kept shouting and telling everyone to watch his youtube channel. When we all muted and stopped responding, he'd occasionally shoot people in the back of the leg. Totally worth the 30min ban, but also solo queue sucks.

I still wonder what boosts Na'vi had on Overpass. Maybe they'll get to show them in Cologne.

The only way that would be true is if LEM is rammed with boosted players. In general I wreck MGEs hard, but get wrecked by LEM (I'm LE/DMG).

the lem is probably insanely mad about getting shot in the side of the head from a place someone said they were playing

Usually I'm good vibes guy. Last night I tilted hard. Only had 1 frag at round 13. Teammates started talking poo poo. Attempted to kick me. Next round more poo poo talking. me- "Just loving kick me I can't do this" teammate - "More poo poo talking" me - "fine I'm going to TK you" teamate - "No you won't" Start round. You're on a competitive cool down. Success! That was my first intentional rage TK. What have I become!? :negative:

A human being who had a bad day? We all have bad days/games/rounds. Just take some time to chill and come back when you're not on tilt. Use that time to practice nades/play dm/goonmans (unless goonmans make you tilt).

And remember: everyone is terrible at CS:GO.

Logging on for the first time in 5 days, hoping I got a bronze off my blind day 3 picks.



I'm really surprised I was this fortunate, especially since I didn't actually believe Astralis and Liquid would actually advance.. Shame I missed the semis and finals though. Grats to LG!

The cries of the dead are terrible indeed; you should try not to hear them.
Both GuardiaN and olofm's hand injuries mean they are pulling out of Malmo looks like. fnatic looks to be pulling out entirely, and Na'Vi not sure yet? Turns out playing lots of videogames can gently caress up your hands.

Double bronze, barely hit 30% riding on Na'Vi players throughout the whole tournament and mixing in whatever cheap stickers I could get for the playoff games. Didn't go wild in the team pick em, just bought fnatic right off the bat and then luminosity, navi and liquid stickers for the quarterfinals. Went for Liquid and Navi when I clearly should have went in on Luminosity.

Reading a bit about ranking, is it just really broke?

My good friend had a solid background in CSS and played here and there in CSGO. Finally decided to focus on comp, had a solid win streak in random groups and then got ranked with LEM.

The next day she queues for match, they're obviously new and wins a solid 16-1 with 30/6 k/d and somehow ends up silver 4. I'd post screenshots and demos, but rather keep her privacy. We're confused.
