I bought a new PC, had to get a new monitor along with it, now my screen is a lot bigger, my resolution is up to 1920x1080 and I am suddenly so bad at this game. Got rolled back down to SEM. Bad vibes in the team, too, poo poo's bad. I guess I'm gonna have to find the time to re-learn some smokes :( .

I switched to 4:3 stretched and had to relearn pretty much every smoke I throw. You wouldn't think it affects that much but holy hell does it ever.

code:
sv_cheats 1; sv_infinite_ammo 1; sv_grenade_trajectory 1; sv_grenade_trajectory_dash 1; sv_grenade_trajectory_thickness 1; mp_roundtime 60;mp_roundtime_defuse 60;mp_restartgame 1 

Not that you need me to tell you this at GE. But here's the code I use to learn smokes offline if it's been a while :banjo:

Do you aim with your hands or the grenade? You'd think it wouldn't make a difference if you're only aiming it with the crosshair.

I aim with the crosshair. It doesn't make any sense but all of my Mirage and Dust2 smokes needed to be relearned. Inferno didn't change too much but I didn't know as many set smokes for that and it got remade anyway.

Then how come smoke tutorials are helpful for me even though I'm playing at 1680x1050?

I'm guessing the spots that worked for me before I went 4:3 were close but not perfect. Afterward I was just missing because it looked different. I know it's not just me though because it was virtually every smoke I threw on every map I played.

Sup goons. I haven't played counter strike since source. I have been playing overwatch and decided to take a break and come back to CS:GO.

How does comp work here? Are there 'placement' matches to start you off or do you just jump in to games? I've been playing a bunch of casual to remind myself and learn the maps.

you need 10 competitive wins to initially get placed and get a rank.

EDIT: Also you need to be at least rank 3 to play competitive

I did the same thing a week or two ago, and I'd recommend starting comp on just one map earlier since there is s two win per day limit until you hit ten wins.

Savor your first few comp games. You'll likely end up in silver to begin with, and if you have any idea what you're doing you can absolutely destroy people at that tier. I think I went 27/3 in my first comp game and someone was screaming at me the whole time.

Then I got balanced up to MGE/DMG level and got poo poo on so hard I landed in Gold Nova.

Disqualified is the word you're looking for. I just tuned in for this map but if they are STILL doing that poo poo just DQ them.

I wouldn't worry about it until you start winning

There's no way FaZe won't win Map 3, even if it is overpass

2 total. Combined w/ being placed in low, low silver it basically means 2-3 games a day for a bit.

HEN1 is tilted. He started screaming at his teammates to chase down the dude he couldn't M4 tap at long A and ultimately cost them an AWP. That + the early celebration defuse fail could cost them this whole map
