Wrong? I see it lower than top 4 quite a bit recently. Hell the last major had a big decline in viewership.

e: fatigue probably has something to do with it. So many tournaments and so many leagues going on with the teams playing against each other constantly.

It was high on the list when I checked today. Weird.

I like Elite Build because the colors are nice and they're inexpensive. I love it on the AK but I wish my M4 could match.

Papa Hiko was still drawing like 12k viewers today, and that's 9-12 AM during the week.

That's about the only CS streamer I watch that isn't an event since most of the others turned into huge shitbags over skin money.

Yeah I never understood the want for Cartel AK skins. Like,it's almost the default.

My favorite skins that I have is my Redline StatTrak AK with Astalis stickers on it because it looks loving cool. I also got a really loving good deal on a ST minimal wear Daiymo M4A1 for like 4 bucks. Haven't decorated it yet with stickers. Only a matter of time.

I really like the Vulcan, the Dead Space M4 and the new Mechina Industries M4AS. I prefer the A1 over the S because of the bullets and the A1 seems to hit harder when I need it to. I always seem to run out of bullets too fast with the S

You're talking about the M4A4. The M4A1S is the silenced one with 20 bullets.

Don't bother, comp is garbage. The amount of rank points you earn on a win is miniscul compared to the amount you lose on a loss and if someone on the other team (!) abandons, your reward for winning gets slashed by like 90%. I did a single comp game today and after my team won the first map (BO3), 5 of the 6 guys on the other team abandoned lmao

Yeah, but ELeague alone had like ~60,000 viewers all day so I'd imagine CSGO had been at #2 or #3 for most of the afternoon/evening.

Same. I see people having fun with it but my own experience is just like "this is it?"

I'm getting a huge League vibe from it that keeps deterring me as well. People challenging for roles and arguing about compositions and I just don't care for that anymore. I started playing quakelive a bit too because I just want my skill to factor into me winning.

Our awper is sucking? I save up three rounds and AWP myself . In CS, you can have crazy rounds where you kill 3-4 people and really shine. I don't get that feeling from OW.

That's the same feeling I got in the beta which was open during DreamHack Austin, I felt like I experienced everything it had to offer and it was just going to turn into HotS.

It's a good tf2 like but it's an entirely different game to the point where I don't think cs skills transfer much at all. You're not even doing a lot of precise aiming with most classes

You can literally shoot an arrow into the ground under people's feet with Hanzo and get a kill and you can snipe the air around your opponent's head and get a headshot with widow and many others
