CSGO sound loving sucks, just make sure you're using HRTF and that's about as good as it's going to get. Some maps are also just really loving bad when it comes to figuring out direction like Nuke for example or Mirage (I can never tell if they are in bapts or underpants)

I remember this being so incredibly easy to tell in 1.6 and Source. Am I crazy or is that your (and others) experience as well?

yes, nuke was not my favorite map back then either but you could distinguish things being above or below you in source. i think that technology may be lost forever

Dude is being a piece of poo poo complaining about us. He outfrags us but not by much. He buys AK 2nd round. I warn him not to lose it. He loses it, and the ct saves it for third.
He buys ak 3rd round. I tell him to stop it. He loses it. We lose the round.
While bitching incessantly, he blocks our awper at ramp, and complains about this. I tell him the awper should be complaining about him, since he blocked it, and he's watching mid. You know, the thing an awper should do. He teamkills me.
I bide my time, waiting for him to gently caress up like I know he will. Lo and behold, he buys a molotov, but unexpectedly, he fucks up and it bounces back. I do my best tibethan monk impression and stand on it, killing me and kicking him from the server. Justice has prevailed, but at what cost..?

Negatives of slogging through silver games:
-lots of children
-lots of random racism
-people don't know calls even on popular maps
-too much talking
-no one manages their money

Positives:
-My $5 skins and knife I got for free get constantly complemented
-The enemy team also has the same kind of people
-It's incredibly easy to frag those people

That said, ranking up is still taking loving forever.

I find children are way more chill than adults. Adults just start swearing or get super passive aggressive immediately.
Managing money is true though. Always look at the others and end ip "oh guess we're going for it again. Another bizon/ump it is"

We should slog through some Silver games together. I think we're on at similar times too if goonmans are any indication.

chillest people to play with are people who are older and have like, families and stuff so they don't stress over imaginary shootmans and just generally people who have other stuff going on in their life to give them perspective/outlets in terms of physical hobbies etc.

This is wrong and the real answer is actually Russia because it's real chill to play with your team on mute (coms are a crutch for bad gamesense)

True but it gets annoying when I have to keep telling them to shut up because I'm listening for footsteps, or they're not aiming at the group of people I'm shooting at, or they keep asking for the AWP I have so they can miss with it.

Plus there's like guaranteed to be at least one throwaway account with a Hitler/KKK/Swastika/etc icon that spends the game either typing or saying the n-word.

The only reason to mute someone is because they are either playing music or soundclips which is an instant permanent mute, or won't stop literally screaming or blowing into the mic. You babies.

The cries of the dead are terrible indeed; you should try not to hear them.
UK people are indeed very toxic, but the toxicity to throwing game ratio is much lower than across the Iron Curtain. First language English speakers are freer to speak their minds and complain. Finns are probably the chillest.

My biggest complaint about UK players (on ESEA) was that they pretty much universally suck. It's like, gr8 a UK player on my team, now I lose.

Not in the D ranks, but at that point you really shouldn't be paying for ESEA.

You would be wasting your money if you got ESEA.

e: If you feel like you're still learning in goonmans then you're not ready for esea. Just keep MMing.

i have mostly been playing other games in recent years but i still play cs:go once every month or so to maintain that literal bottom tier because playing ranked games there is pretty much always full of the most unintentionally funny people

from my experiences they know their callouts, they know buying strategies, they have seen hours worth of youtube tutorials... and yet their aim is so bad that that you can just run around with whatever guns you want and do alright
