Yeah it seems like they just reverted back all the changes they made to give Ts a better chance?

[bittervet voice] nuke is a strategically stale map, especially since 1.6 wallbangs are gone and I miss buying ammo every round and firing into metal for 45 seconds man those were the days

I can't tell if hut is more T-favoured since the update or CT. Being able to jump out as T was nice but it left you vulnerable from a large angle.

I would consistently get owned through that dumbass window angle. this at least gives you fewer dumb spots to look at

those new vents might make smokes easier too, idk

What did you say the strategy was?
I've just noticed the thread title says cg:go, which is about as observant as I am in csgo as well.
They modified canals as well, is it a decent map now?

Removing the catwalk outside and the ability to cross the crane in the middle of A-site makes more of a difference than it would seem. Plus the hut window, rip.

Eh, not really. I firmly think it's because the spawns were moved up for the T's that flat out holding W works pretty well.

Remove hut door as well but make the whole thing see-through and even thinner.

steel is still pretty great at developing strong T sides. they're playing the map perfectly but they aren't quite there on the mechanical cohesion wrt trades but he's putting people in good spots to win rounds.

Them winning a series 2-0 without having to rely on Swag fragging out is a good sign.

Summit is easily one of the best things that happened to CS competitive in a long time. It really brings a whole other dimension to the casting. and competition. But drat, seeing NIP lose like this is really sad. It's always so unsatisfying the way they lose, it seems like they're about to win and then at the last moment they just drop the ball.

Also, is the Steam group for Eurogoons too? In any case, please accept my request, rkd on Steam.

A worse player would have looked better in that position with a dick-level preaim that would've hit the guy once.

AVANGAR looking pretty real. Taking Major spot away from Mouz, Space Soldiers, GODSENT and presumably AGO fairly convincingly.

Go for an Asus vg248qe or something similar. You might be able to find a used one or a refurbished at around 175 to 200 but they are 230 to 250 new. If you have more money the benq monitors are supposedly a little bit nicer. Don't buy anything at 165 or 180hz because 240hz models are starting to come out.

Modern TN panels are perfectly fine, and the only way you're getting 240hz rn

I'm gonna summarize surc, but everyone's use case scenario is different. Different budgets, different needs, different expectations.

I'm going to second the Asus vg248qe rec, but only if you can find a good deal on it. It's a bit old and I'm sure there's better quality ones out there made in the last two years.
