Back in the guardians, except now guardians actually from time to time peek together and use nades. Which was not the case months ago

I'm glad Valve fixed the ranks a bit, I feel like I had to massively improve esp. on teamplay to get back to MG

Congratulations! As long as you grasp what in your play is helping you achieve this, you'll be unstoppable until you need to develop another facet later on in the rank chain. Keep it up!

I have now come to understand the power of a molly. I've got a set strat for entering Mirage A site with ct smoked. Molly under porch then work stairs/jungle with flash(s). Got 2 kills in 1 game from the molly. I don't know why but it's just clicked.

Also want to point out that ninja is loving dumb spot. I looked right at it to check it. Stared at it even. Got owned by a guy with a negev who had tucked him self in it and was looking away.

Have you used windows in the past decade? I've literally never had auto updates on and it's always auto updated for me.

Odd I use windows 7 and turned off auto update and the most I ever see about windows 10 is a taskbar icon telling me I can install it if I want to. Has been like that for months and has never tried to do it on its own. Suck to your assmar.

I knew WESA would catch the attention of Valve due to its bias towards ESL, but I never saw this coming.

I wouldn't be so sure, the thing is the major is two months away so finding another org to do a major in 3-4 months is a pretty difficult task. RLewis reported the same thing on twitter so something happened behind closed doors today. ESL will be backpedaling the WESA stuff soon enough.

Its probably to close to revoke the major, but he also tweeted that Faze pulling out of WESA is just the start and there will be big news next week.

Also they apparently had to pay $200,000 to leave for a net $50,000 loss.

I read that it was $50K out of pocket to leave.

Which I suppose doesn't make that any less horrendous.

There are conflicting reports. It doesn't really make sense to fine them $50,000 since they were paid $150,000 to join.
I suppose they may not have actually been given the money yet, but yeah I have seen both reported.

I feel like positioning and good one-tap control is what's doing it for me now. Y'know, good for Silver. I have had a few people accuse me of aimbotting, which felt really good. I think next I probably need to learn how to get gud with nades, and learn how to position myself so that only three pixels of my forehead is showing because I die a lot to people who can do that. Also, better sprays and figuring out a good mousebind to switch to my pistol, because a die a lot when I let a spray go too long or try to do a spray transfer and run dry.

Not that I need to be spraying with the A1S and the SG, my two preferred weapons... which is also something I need to work on...

Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...
