Has anyone dabbled in opskins before?

I cashed out around $400 worth of stuff a year ago. It was worth it for me to pay for a month and get the lower fee, and I really can't complain at all about the service. I hear they require more ID for the first time set up though now.

Never had an issue with opskins. Be aware that they take a % on each sale and paypal will take a % when you cash out in addition to getting less then market because lol getting actual $ value on skins.

This dude has turned into such a hostile piece of poo poo lately, it's unbelievable. Like he's a top-5 streamer on Twitch and makes loving oodles of money and he still takes time out of his day to tell people to gently caress off whenever they don't like something, it happened when he got hooked on this CSGO betting poo poo. People would post that they kinda pay for him to play games and he literally says that he's not there for anyone but himself, he doesn't give a poo poo about what you like or don't like and you can suck a dick and get the gently caress out. It's such a bizarre attitude for someone to take when he makes a thousand+ dollars a day from donations and subscribers and owes his entire life and livelihood to people's generosity.

Sure but I think there's a difference between ignoring the hecklers, or roasting them a bit and banning them and moving on (which is what the majority of successful streamers do), versus announcing to your ten thousand viewers that you couldn't care less about their opinion of your channel. Building a brand for yourself must be pretty different for the Twitch generation, and obviously I'm not in Summit's position so I could be wildly off base as he's still popular, but if I openly took that position at my job it wouldn't be my job anymore.

uhhh, i truly believe that sewage2k is retarded and that the only saving grace that he has is good aim. the only reason he gets away with his dumb poo poo so often is because "who pushes their own smoke?" is a thought shared by pros and plebs alike when playing against idiots. when you start expecting that sort of thing, the person pushing the smoke is at a serious disadvantage.

sorry if this opinion destroys your idealistic realiti :classiclol:

snax is a top5 player on merely decent aim thanks to "dumb poo poo" like pushing his own smokes. The key to doing that is to time it well. If you have the gamesense to push the smoke when nobody's likely to be looking, you have made an excellent move.

Stew is improving and being more effective with his "dumb poo poo" as he learns how top pros play. He's not there yet but he's improving and has huge potential, and you're being obtuse

I personally thought it was a super lovely pickup but he's probably the most promising player on C9 now.

If you think Yung Stew is still poo poo you're just an idiot at this point, the difference between his kills are they are nearly always high impact kills. If he pop flashes a smoke on plat of cbble and gets 1 or 2 kills he's severely crippled that play.

Yes. He's still braindead sometimes and he needs to get smarter but his improvement between when he joined C9 and now is staggering. His weirdo plays work out most of the time now

you mean snax from the premiere team? rofl poland is literally a 3rd world country and if you think snax is top 5 then you must have brain damage.

stewage is bad, but maybe he can improve? dont have high hopes though, because he consistently makes horrible plays and puts his team in lovely situations because of it. yeah, you think it's cool and exciting when he smokes himself, pulls a flash and pushes the smoke xDDD wowowow omg YUNG STEW U GOTTA B KIDDIN ME but i see a predictable move and really bad decision making

so making risky plays and getting lucky doesn't equal being good

so he abuses the meta a little and then starts getting poo poo on repeatedly once people figure out he's always going to try some gimmick play that is super risky but works 5% of the time

frags mean literally nothing if you're not winning rounds

that dust2 game was c9 getting dismantled by the best team in the world right now and Stewie getting frustrated and trying anything to create an opening. for every play he made that game he did something equally dumb that lost them rounds

No one called him a genius. He's just loving on point right now. We're not saying he's the next Olof, we're just saying he's improved a shitload and you need to hop off the hate train.

This is actually falsely attributed to Einstein, the first verifiable instance of it is from a Narcotics Annonymous pamphlet.


Please learn the correct sources for your quotations, and the correct opinions on stewie.


E: Seriously though he is doing very well, and he is still young. Those things alone in a pro setting hold a lot of promise even if you don't like his current play style, just like in any sport/competition.

I'm guessing somebody had a negative reaction to a thing he said, and so he took the only approrpiate Alpha response: passively-aggressively bitch on twitter.

Or maybe he thinks he found his true place by getting to roast Shaq on TV, or maybe he's mad he's not pro. Whatever it is, basically:
