Sickest comeback by optic, they were down 12-3 and now it's 12-15

12-16 now. Not a single round dropped on CT side.

C9 has won a T side round, meaning they're 1-16 in their past 17 rounds

RE: Sound update - The directional is soooo much better, but I seriously can't handle the awful quality. I'm gonna wait until they fix it up more to use it. It's not like I don't know all the maps inside out already to know where the sounds are coming from anyways.

SK vs IMT was a great couple games. Fox looking a lot more comfortable.

I still want Steel to be poached by SK. I dunno why they cut him in the first place, dude is great.

If you mean that you don't have any idea where the sounds are coming from, yeah so much better...

:catstare: if you're missing it right now, definitely watch game 2 of Dignitas/SK, k0nfig is absolutely insane on Mirage. He singlehandedly tilted SK off of the planet with his movement/positioning. Even if you're cheering for him you still end up yelling WHO DOES THAT?!?!?

Here's to ya, JACKASS
I don't understand people who criticize the sound update. I can tell positions 100000% better than I could before. Be sure to turn off 5.1 and 7.1 sounds in your drivers though, otherwise some funky bugs will occur.

Mixwell might be top 5 awps alone, he's not flashy but during the ELeague finals I don't think he missed a single shot

I'm thinking that EnvyUs should be a tough matchup for Optic. 2-0 or 2-1 for EnvyUs on Nuke (Envy's pick) & Overpass (Optic's pick) with Cobblestone being the final map. D2 might also be played by Envy.

Optic T sides remind me a lot of old SK T sides. Fluid, unstoppable, team pushing.

The only two tournaments they've won at all this year appear to be Global eSports Cup S1 and and GFinity Invitational, both of which I hesitate to call "major".

i mean theres a few things in there that were pretty game defining for counter strike. Run and gun with smg's is inherently stupid and it probably shouldn't be seen as "good" for counter strike that you have a very small mac-10 spread when running and jumping around, and wallbanging is a pretty big skill barrier, do you know where to shoot to try to kill enemies who are aggressively positioned to be shot in such a way? Like touting those as two big "improvements" cs;go has is pretty silly considering those were the things that made counter strike iconic.
