How come well worn skins sometimes go for more than field tested or even minimal wear ones?
Some skins drop in a range that only include a very small percentage of well worn versions, so though they might be the worst in term of quality they are exceptionally rare.

Oh come on, I just saw a gun snap to an enemy through a wall on trigger pull. Even the commentators got silent.

Hiko let me d own. Luckily I had a pretty good day (393 points), back up to 4%.



I need all 23 points to hit gold in the pick'em, so I need all 3. I don't know if I should keep riding the Liquid train or if this is the stop to get off.



Christ, I can't believe it's only 67 points between 4% and 12%. I might still have a chance to get my second golden Fantasy Trophy in a row! Edward as Eco got me 121 points yesterday, btw

As for Pick'em, I only need 5 more for silver (which also means I can't get gold anymore) so I got SK and Fnatic today to lock that. Sorry USA, but I'll root for Team Liquid at Lanxess (along with 90% of the crowd, I'm sure) to make up for it. Love me a good underdog story.

Actually, if SK win the first I'll change my pick to Liquid since it'll be silver for me either way. :getin:

Yeah I'd rather not play the sarcasm game. They get some access to the computer for things like mouse settings, and it's not in ESL's best interest to expose aimbotting.

No one wants to play the this player is clearly cheating conspiracy theory game. The hltv.org forum is your best shot if you want to have that discussion. The rest of us are watching guys who play 12 hours a day every day at their absolute peak predicting what angles people are going to be on and doing it with a speed and accuracy we can understand but never really replicate even remotely consistently.

the spectator camera is some BS. The player shot someone in smoke, klled them, then kept pulling the trigger and the gun snapped to the next nearest enemy (also in the smoke) but that player was behind a wall.

To the smoke kill the commenters said "WOW how did he do tha--" and went silent when the gun snapped to the next enemy.

There are a few dozen explanations more plausible than the player in question using aim assitance, ranging from sound cues to comms to complete coincidence.

Also, there's a 0% chance of there being any ESL conspiracy to cover up players cheating

I'd say this is something other than a zero percent chance. we might have to just agree to disagree.

Do I really have to explain again how tournament officials check equipment? How we spent hours building a locked down image, pushing the image to 40+ SSDs, all of the players equipment is checked in the day before groups start, none of the players touch the equipment without tournament officials there, all cellphones are collected after they log into steam.

Yeah but did you ever think that it's not in ESL's interest to bust cheaters? :smugdog:

i think snax should've thrown the awp over the wall before going for damage, he was pretty much committed after he followed taz into connector area

Waking up just in time for VP to take it from 6-6 to 9-6. What a beautiful morning.

E: lol I didn't realize the last page of the thread was all about how pros are hacking. I guess it's good that new players are coming and talking in the thread though, keep the thread alive :)

He's the only pro that I legitimately think cheats. At least online, anyway, since he is pretty bad to average on LAN.
