Is sadokist the Canadian guy who spends most of the time talking about off topic things to get the British dude (Henry?) Or the British girl to laugh? I don't really know their names.

It might be less of a thing if he hadn't got on his high horse about one of his fellow countrymen doing something less offensive on twitch.

Anyone know where I can buy a good quality CSGO t-shirt that says "rush b" on it?

This is the birthday wish of a friend. I didn't find anything official on the steam forfansbyfans store and googling just showed me some crappy stores that have a bunch of pictures from God knows where that they'll print on any shirt and send to you, except they all sucked.

Is this a futile quest?

SK so bad they'd be relegated from NA EPL if dignitas didn't exist as it stands. Hell, it's still easily possible if they continue to suck like this. Flat out bottom of ECS as well, currently in position to be relegated there too.

I can't help you, but I looked through that forfansbyfans merchandise store and I would totally rock the Kawaii Killer shirt

EDIT: looking through stores in my country I found this: https://pl-shop.eslgaming.com/products/cs-rush-b-piaskowa

It doesn't seem to be available through the EU or US stores, I guess I could buy it and ship it to you, when is your friend's birthday?

Interesting video about Valve and their trust system and VacNet system which uses machine learning. 3kliksphilip breaks down a 45min talk from a valve dev at GDC 2018. Interesting stat from the video. If 1% of player base cheats then you will have a cheater in 10% of your games.

I'm not sure it's illegal, but then what can these coaches be watching? Can't be in spectate (unless there's a way to restrict spectators to a certain team?). If they were in a team house, I'm sure they could though.

If you have the time to spare, I would recommend people watch the original talk- it's very informative and pretty funny to boot

theyre ingame as a coach which restricts you to spectating only your team. this feature was added in 2013 i think

I have always had a lot of time for Space Soldiers and I'm glad they have really been killing it recently, I only hope they get some inarguable results against the top teams on LAN in a bo3 at one of these events they have qualified for, if only to shut up people who say they aren't even T2 because they haven't won proper title of any kind.

They were grinding with essentially no payoff for a solid year. Every qualifier, second tier online league, every podunk tournament going. And their experience in the few big name events they did manage to qualify for was usually a pretty heartbreaking one, often missing out on playoffs by a small margin or getting very unfortunate draws. So it's cool that it's beginning to pay dividends. To me, they have looked like a Top 8 team since the start of 2018. They'd be even scarier if ngiN had a bit more oomph.

Hey, thank you for taking a look! I showed my friend but they weren't into it. :( Thank you again though for trying to find something. :)

I actually have another question: does anyone know if valve has a set release schedule or has publicly revealed the dates for upcoming case collection releases? It seems like the last one was the clutch case and like valve can take anywhere from two to four months between releases.

There is no release schedule and there are no dates. The most notice we get is occasionally someone notices poo poo in the updates a day or two before the case drops, usually.

Yeah it's a bit awkward. His co-caster isn't total trash though, it's actually Budget Anders. I didn't realise until I saw his face, because HenryG keeps calling him 'Vince'.

henryg needs to shut the gently caress up and let him have some space. Vince/Metuz/Budget Anders is a great hype caster

Admittedly I think there's much more potential depth to a cobble game than dd2, especially at higher levels, but I hate to play cobble and no-one seemed to want to play dd2 when it wasn't in the active pool, so I guess I'm personally happy about it but I totally understand the negative reaction I've seen from a few pros so far

D2 is the most iconic map of CS, and while pros are right that it has less tactical depth, the fact is no other map in the pool even comes close to the kind of chill, puggy style that D2 allows. Obviously top teams generally hate D2 because it's just a straight slugfest map where worse teams with good aim and no tactics can easily make upsets.

So, bad for pros, good for regular players. Just need to add some tuscan/mill variant and then you have two maps where you barely need to throw a smoke or flash all game, and you can just run around.

I personally like mirage and don't think it needs changing, but it needs a break because every other map if you're lucky is mirage.
