Something's going on with Seized of NaVi.

He posted on his VK page (in Russian) "Big problems, I may have to be unactive during two years. More explainations coming soon. PS: Not army or cheats LOL".

The question is, what is going on?

I know this isn't the CSGO team, but Immortals has a pretty good video editor, this is the least cheesy/cringy team video i've seen come out of esports.

They're saying he tried to use some shady company to get a 5 year EU visa, and the company forged German employment documents to establish German residency.

It's possible, but considering how homesick he felt before, I wouldn't bet on him staying. They also apparently found their 5th already.

You are generally more likely to find ragers if you solo queue in MM than in casual, it is what kept me away from it for a long time. Who wants to have their relaxation time full of anger and hostility, without even any constructive tips mixed into the insults? :shrug:

Don't let it keep you from mm though other dude, find good and/or nice people to queue with and go hog wild.


On a related note, I hope s1mple carries liquid to an insane vctory, gets interviewed, roasts them, and drops the mic.

Ok maybe I should clear the air a bit but I was being silly about being nervous during comp. I do have a couple people I tend to play with and have had good matches. Hell the last few comp games have ended up in ties and I still had fun.

But yeah this community is toxic as poo poo. But I like to try to bend that a bit when im playing. Hopefully my video makes someone smile at least.

Okay, so assuming Liquid didn't pilfer from an NA or EU team's active roster, that leaves their most likely new fifth as sileNt, just9n, or Uber.

God help them.

Well assuming you like playing CSGO the way you currently have it configured, in the in-game console type:

code:
host_writeconfig XenaeroProConfig
then go to
code:
...\Steam\userdata\<YOURID>\730\local\cfg
And just copy XenaeroProConfig.cfg somewhere because it now has all of your csgo settings and you can just execute it from the console to get back to how you are currently configured.


If you're looking for new stuff, it's really going to depend on what you want to do, but here is a good place to get inspiration:

Why do they play on such low resolutions?

That's what they are used to from playing so much of old CS. Also, some people think it's easier to see and click on heads.

I always find these kinds of things interesting. I think it's largely psychological, but can still make a huge difference. My anecdote on similar things is that people love to tell me that surround headphones are bullshit that make no difference and/or make the sound worse, but I find that I'm able to process direction better, and immediately stop getting surprised by flanks, if I hit the 7.1 button on my headset.

On the other hand, switching to lower res doesn't help anything except my frame rate. I've played CS since the start, and love me some 16:9 and 16:10

Wouldn't the pixels being larger make them larger are on your screen so you could see? For example on inferno and mid if someone is slow peaking out of mexico toward top of mid, I sometimes don't see them (i am bad) and thought about making my pixels bigger to help me being bad.

this isn't really what the argument i was making fun of points to, but i imagine it makes sense. Guess it depends on the color the engine would output for that pixel, if it would do any interpolation or averaging... we should ask someone who knows

ya, i think the benefits come more from a psychological standpoint, especially how people are used to certain resolutions and changing would throw them off
