So what's your favorite modern fragmovie?

I think TSM - Dawn is my favorite out of CS:GO

Not that I am not flagrantly proud of my brand spankin new SILVER THREE video game ranking, but what determines when it goes up. Is it just winrate.

There's supposedly a few factors but it boils down to winning more and losing less. Work to improve your skill and find a team to work with and you'll get better in no time. Goons are awesome to learn from as well.

The Sub.io crew plays often and I'm also working on a group, but it also accepts randoms that aren't terrible. I recommend playing with people a little better than you. You'll die more but you'll learn faster.

Basically they have a bunch of things that measure the skill of how you play, but winning consistently is the way to rank up. Play well in every game, win as many games as possible.

it's actually your vibes rating that decides your rank and the only way to get your vibes rating up is to have good vibes at all times

I've noticed people becoming less toxic as I go up in rank. Like, I've only climbed as high as MGE but I've had games where we started 0-7 with some people getting no kills and nobody says a peep, then eventually we start winning and end up 16-9 or something. In Nova ranks people start melting down the moment you lose the 4th round if not earlier, which is probably part of the reason they're novas.

A lot of people have the expectation and assumption they should always be connecting critical shots, especially when they start getting a loose grip on the game. Happened to me. Eventually it clicks, especially as you rank up further that hey guess what? If you miss, you miss. Let it get to you, and you fuckin start missing more.

Those middle of the road ranks are just people coming to terms with it. It's not really their fault.

Same. I'd get pissed I didn't get a shot off on a dude in a stupid position, so I'd repeek, and get murdered by a dude now in a favorable angle. Stopping just that has made me so much better.

Goons like to ask for ways that aren't just playing the game to get good at the game, so I've put together a collection of the practice maps I use/find the most useful:

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=796681889

I'm also going to write up some guides at some point, I started to do "educational" CS streams a while back, and now that my job's settled a bit I'm hoping to get back into it.

E: Also super up for suggestions if people have maps they like that are not on here, I was sticking basically just to core mechanics to start with, didn't want to overload people.

the 2nd lan i went to i lost 5 clutches in the first half of my first map

i turned a 5v1 into a 1v1 and two 3v1s into a 1v1 and still lost every one of them

my teammates being there kept me from tilting off the face of the earth but i was still pretty loving heated at myself, despite doing a ton of damage to their economy

I'm in more or less a 15 game loss streak with only a couple of wins here and there. I'm consistently the top or 2nd player in my team but I consistently get 2-3 teammates that go something like 2-16 or worse.

You're on a bad streak. The matchmaker can't tell who's playing like poo poo today or tilted and you're unluckily getting them all in your games. Or your personality is so dreadful you're doing it to them but lets assume its not that. But like with every streak there's relatively little you can do about it other than keep playing. Its like the opposite of hot hand fallacy.

Yesterday, me and some handsome boys 4 stacked with someone who was 2nd fragger but so toxic he made us lose. Were you that dude?

(KDR is not always an indicator of who is playing the most usefully for a team. You can be topfragging and never help anybody with executes, you can be lurking when you shouldn't be, etc. Get good vibes going, try to focus on playing team play instead of solo play, rally the troops, and tell toxic people not to be toxic, in the least reactive tone you can. These are the rules of non-5stacking.)

If you can look at subio demos and calculate rws, yesterday I went 20 7 on a ct half and probably won 1 or 2 rounds myself. we lost 12 3 but i dont think i had any impact on the wins. mostly went for exits because our economy was bad the whole time. I got a lot of kills but I don't feel like I really did anything at all past pistol. But I did try to be a good vibes person and dropped weapons. Even in a losing situation you can set your team up for a come back if you are being nice and trying to be a team player

Actually the rules for playing as a 4 is to blame all lost rounds on your retarded 5th, never comms in game so they know nothing, then kick them on the round you're about to win. Can't believe you haven't caught on yet.

How do I use this sub.io thing? Is it a goon only kind of thing? If I click log in on it, it goes to the steam third party log in thing which then loads forever when I try to continue. And hitting join server brings up the steam server info for 104.28.5.58:27015 but it just says server not responding.
