FFA on custom servers requires crazy fast reflexes and on point aiming. You'd get destroyed repeatedly until you quit.

Aimbots is good to practice taps and sprays, and once you get bored with bots, 1v1 servers can be a good place to pick up aim and movement.

One tapping is good but you will want to get AK sprays in your toolbox soon.

Ok, AK sprays are amazing. I've started basically just aiming down and to the left and it works surprisingly well?

Also FFA servers are crazy fun! I actually did pretty well in the one I played -- it seems like aim is not my biggest issue so much as positioning and literally everything else.

E: also I killed b4nny of tf2 fame

He is saying that anybody in the group can make an announcement saying "Hey, looking to MM", but the most consistent way to get games is to play with people you enjoy playing with, friend them, and then get lobbies going by invites and/or steam messsages. (This is true both for goons, and people in general.)

Did they sell beer at any of the other events? This is the first time I've seen concessions people walking around selling beer (and everyone drinking them!)

It's 10:25am and I want a CSGO Beer :negative:

You can venmo me some money with the next beer you buy, and I'll badly photoshop it into a grungy event space in sao Paolo.

e: wait, are weapon skins not permanent? There's a wear stat on some of them? Do they get destroyed eventually?

Oh nevermind I guess it's just a cosmetic thing set at the start. Slowly destroying something that you bought does seem like too brutal of a micro transaction, even for Valve.

they originally planned for weapons to get worn the more you used them, as a sign of you spending time with them and going through battles, expecting people to get attached to them. AKA lmfao

That'd have been cool as an optional feature. Maybe instead of just stickers there could be a lot or optional things you could change like in Dota.

Also why doesn't Valve love us?

valve does care about csgo else they wouldnt have updated it for close to 5 years now and would have gone the EA route of plopping it on the world and forgetting about it a year later.

I'm also aware of how much money Valve makes from keeping it around. It's less expensive that way, too. I can't help but look at how amazing Dota is and be sad that we hardly have a fraction of what they got.

I wouldn't care that they charge for sprays (and made them limited use) if we get a UI overhaul and maybe some team features.

Edit: I'd even calm down about it if they even just said it was coming. I can be patient, I just want to know what's going on.

Is the ESL stream just dying randomly for other people? I guess I'm watching the french stream now...

Also holy poo poo some of the skin prices, I think I'll just stick to looting pretty weapons round by round from corpses for now

The French casters are actually pretty good and get way more hype than the English casters.

They also appear to have basically no information on the production or what transitions are gonna happen, so you get the bonus of them being surprised by all the cuts.

That @wickedplayer494 dude did a pretty comprehensive job of pointing out all of the various "new UI" file leaks that have popped up over the past ~2 years. It hasn't been much, but it's enough to give me hope :3:

When you're waiting for a match you can check inventory but not change your game settings for some reason?

Dota 2 has news on all sorts of local events on the front page. CS:GO has very little coverage and is basically a copy/paste of the blog site.

Dota 2's version of operations has a ton more content and they actually come out.

Dota 2 tells you about players even in lobby. You can see killstreaks and what the players excel at. CS:GO lets you know if someone thinks they might be friendly.


I'd even just settle for being able to register a team and play in an online league with seasons.

Seriously just load up Dota 2 and look in the menus. You'll see why we're wanting updates.

do you even play dota 2? reborn is trash and all of the stuff your talking about on the main menu is worthless clutter and advertisements for new chests, same as csgo already has.

it's been way overdue on removing some of those weird things the interface won't let you do in lobbies, but don't look at dota as a solution.

Does the watch tab actually let you watch ongoing matches? I'm a little confused on how it works -- is it just for my matches, or is it for randomly selected high level ones?
