game somehow queued me to a north american server, 180 ping all the way through.
counterpoint, these were some of the nicest people i've ever played with and they never got angry or raged at anything despite losing bad and me putting out like 5 kills the entire game, which goes to show Brazil truly was a mistake.

"Thus," concluded Miyamoto, "you must give up everything you have to be my disciple."

I just had a game where we had to kick a guy three times because he kept going AFK (as in, he'd just stubbornly move forward until someone killed him) and he kept reconnecting two rounds later telling us about his lovely internet. How/why are people allowed to rejoin games if they get kicked?

We still won because the third kick finally stuck (or he gave up) and the bot was cooperative but that whole experience was still awkward.

I think if they disconnect while the vote is up it'll say the vote was successful even though it was actually cancelled, and then he's free to rejoin

Their decision making is terrible. They had the bomb plant on B site on Overpass pistol. Post plant. They have a guy on short, one in site and one behind pillar. ALL of them eventually peeked heaven/ct and got picked off. FFS boys. If you're going to do that poo poo at least make sure you have a guy with a flash or with a smoke to delay them.

No doubt. I think the weirdest mistake I keep seeing is Schneider trying to wallbang through solid objects. Is...is he aware he is no longer in 1.6?

I noticed that a few times. Made me wonder if there were more spots to reliably wallbang...and then I remembered Mirage's loving bulletproof plaster walls :argh:

I'm getting increasingly sick of Mirage cause at my rank (MG1) nobody knows how to smoke anything.

A with 1 smoke is a gamble, mid with 1 smoke is suicide and B is just a mad dash through molotovs and SCARs :negative:

If you solo queue at MG1 or below pick maps where you can do decent executes with just you throwing the utility and everyone else goes gun out. At MG2 I find most people do know basic smokes, at least around my area, but before that I had to avoid some maps at all costs.

Great choices:
cache - smoke CT on B, smoke highway on A, smoke middle yard to get out mid. Mid it's also very easy to explain to someone how to throw a second smoke so you have full coverage and can just run out. Flashes and mollies as applicable, depends where your opponents play. I always start the game by mollying NBK on A, it is by far the strongest and most annoying position and also the most effectively beaten by a molly. If no one plays there the whole game start mollying where they do. ALWAYS molly NBK on an anti-eco.
dust2 (if you want to risk shitter teammates) - "lurk" smoke out tuns on B (bank it off the left wall so it blooms blocking most of the site) + flash into it, smoke CT on mid + flash off wall near xbox, smoke bricks + molly into A site + high flash (or alternatively a pizza smoke, which removes most defensive lines from the guy site; then flash), flashes + gun out long doors, then smoke cross.

Good choices:
inferno - B site you want to smoke CT + molly one of the spots, A site you can do all sorts of poo poo just blocking vision with weird smokes. Mid you just smoke.
overpass - both sites you can easily remove half the angles to check with a decent smoke, and check the strongest sneaky angle with a molly. Taking map control is tricky in general though

Mediocre choices (mostly because people will adjust quickly and then you got nothing):
cobble - B needs multiple but you can do decent with one smoke + mollies on A since most people play heavy drop/B so all you really need is a smoke to cut off doors. Drop can be taken with single person utility and then you have a lot of options. But they will adjust very quick.
train - B site you can do a decent rush with one smoke and the smokes are so easy everyone at MG1 will be able to throw another one for you, but A site is a shitshow. You're not gonna score lots of rounds just taking the same site over and over.

Bad choices:
mirage - you need at least two or even three smokes both sites. Mid is just suicide if you don't have a coordinated take
nuke - wtf lol

Or you can add people who know what they're doing and queue up with them. Even a two person queue can do great takes of almost everything on all maps.

If you really want to de_mirage solo, all I can say is that you're a brave soul and you're gonna need this: https://youtu.be/FuejXtnbaxM

Re GODSENT: I think pronax is a highly overrated IGL and most of fnatic's success was simply because they were a stacked team that outskilled everyone. Their decision making was always a questionable 'big dick plays' style. GODSENT is failing because they aren't nearly as stacked without olof and with JW being bad.

Yeah, I think the median skill level of the average pro has gone up a huge amount thanks to all the young talent that entered the league, so the dumb plays they did just don't work anymore. Olof's smug "we don't have plans we just win" line he gave in interviews blew up in his face, finally.

NIP is the same way, Get_Right was looking super frustrated that his dumbass plays stopped working. I think they've since sharpened up their tactics, and are looking better since the start of summer.
