I don't think it is petty, the orgs don't want their players to jump to other orgs and get their eleague spot

Yeah I thought it was bullshit at first, but after thinking about it the decision to rule them out makes sense. The org itself doesn't deserve the spot. It would be like the Warriors players hopping to the Lakers for more money right before the playoffs started and expecting to somehow still be in the playoffs.

I got a battle scarred kill confirmed USP. It looks really good, like so good I have to assume it's a bug? http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/263841416539369404/344565FB64B52356A1A4A896B7D55AF26825F428/

Weird. Whatever, it was free.

Yeah some guns take wear real bad, FAMAS and dual Berettas tend to get paint jobs ruined fast even on higher qualities. Some skin finishes don't really show it though, compare Stained dualies or some of the recent case drop skins with older ones.

Yeah it depends on the skin. Some skins get paint scraped off easily (spray painted Colony as an example) and others don't, like Stained. I think CSGOStash has animations that show generally how wear affects each one. Ultimately skins don't matter so go with whatever you like.

pretty unfortunate that the people in charge couldn't figure out a way to make the other orgs whole because the fans lose out big time

I left my pc on yesterday with twitch open and got a cobble case. Neat. I guess the best time to sell it is later?

and apparently Astralis have to play with the fat dad who's always in the background because one of the twinks had his appendix die

I sold mine asap with the rationale as more games are played theres more cases being dropped = more supply and lower prices. I'm not sure what happens longer term though.

It's not that surprising, is it? The payout is the same whether or not the match ends in an upset victory, so there is not point in going with the underdog, unless you truly think that they have a >50% chance to win the match.

Guess he thought friberg was closer than he really was. Shara was so low that even the shittiest spray through the smoke would've killed him.
