Rip pick em.

This makes this tournament very interesting. While I definitely would make Astralis the heavy favorites now I feel like Immortals/VP/North/Gambit would alll prefer to play Astralis over SK. Big is the one team I could see preferring SK because they seem easier to anti-strat.

yup. I thought that SK would have learned their lesson but nope. Hope Astralis takes it all the loving way again.

Heh, so many people thought this would be an easy 2:0 for SK. But I can't really blame them after the first few Astralis matches.

I really really hope that I end up in the top 1% again, and that it's again due to people picking astralis to lose the quarterfinals instead of making it to the end. :smugdog:

Is there some general technique to spraying or is it literally just looking at the spray pattern on a wall and then practicing the counter-pattern?

Yea basically. Something that will help is to learn all the spray patterns, do nothing but 30 bullet spray attempts, then go back to shooting 5 to 8 bullets max if you aren't just bursting and tapping while strafing. If you shoot under 10 bullets then spray patterns aren't that different for the main rifles.

The latter, pretty much. Here's a helpful gallery showing the spray patterns and how to compensate for every weapon in the game.

e: haha, for all the times I've looked at those images, I've never paid attention to this one. The most useful spray:

Just figure out how far to pull down before the pattern starts going left/right.

Also watch autimatics video on it. Best tip I used to get better was to get very familiar with how much crouching drops your spray.

I often burst a little or tap then work in to my spray commit, and nothing has a video on that if my explanation sucked.

I can do this fine for the most part. I'm just trying to get better at being able to do 3 and 4 man spray-downs.

I got a free smurf for taking a break for like 2 years so I'm just trying to practice good habits for when I make it back to my old rank.

Consistently doing multiple target spray transfers in an area larger than dd2's tunnel into B a pretty big ask even at the highest ranks, so don't get discouraged when it's hard as gently caress

Fair enough, from watching streams and pro games it seemed like mastering perfect spray control was necessary to get to that NEXT LEVEL.

Yeah, but that's generally single target spraydowns at range, there's a reason why multiple ones are on highlight reels

When you are projected to win 0 gamed and become a legend team you basically already won the major

Does the crosshair getting wide and spread out as you spray actually help. Does anyone ever use it.

From what I can tell the spread isn't precise to the actual spread of the bullet. When I used it for a week or so I found myself using it more to determine when my recoil had completely reset rather than for my actual sprays, but with some time you'll be able to just tell that without visuals. The only non-static crosshair I liked was the old cl_crosshairstyle 2 that was static on shot, but dynamic on movement, but they removed that a long time ago.

Definitely. They just had a very slow start, I guess they were nervous but they are actually finding back into the game. Map 2 will probably be a pretty exciting match.

I haven't checked yet but if I got a case signed by BIG, I'll open it. I sold the ones I got from the last majors but what's $25 in steam bucks when you could pull an irl car? Go big or go home imho
