You really think someone would do that? Just go on the internet and be a llama?



oh gently caress no, optic had realistically lost like 6 rounds prior, but I don't think "able to actually watch the the entire game" is too much to ask for

This second map of Tyloo vs Spirit owns. So many rounds lost in the dumbest way.

Really starting to like Tyloo, they're a ton of fun to watch.

Wooo! Tripple OT! That Xccurate clutch was awesome.

why does the matchmaking take so long to recognise that i'm a trash garbage player and match me with people of an equally low skill level?

i'm still getting matched with silver 1 players despite not having won a round since i started playing the game

That was a rough watch. Look I'm not brilliant at CS but you need to work on your basics. Your crosshair placement. You are mostly looking in the wrong places at the wrong time. You're not really clearing a site when you were pushing out and getting shot in the side of the head.

As for why the AWP on b killed you is because you just kept pushing him while he was holding and angle. You had the right idea to use utility to push him off but you never executed yout plan well. There was once when you blinded him and he simply timed his shot and killed you.

Lastly stop buying a deagle. You spent half the T side using a deagle and you simply don't know how to do it. You are constantly moving when you are shooting and this is why you can't hit anyone with any gun.

Crosshair placement.

Edit: how many hours do you have in the game?

tbh I think people can easily skill out of silver faster than their accounts make it out. Like minimal aim practice, learning a handful of grenades, and just game knowledge plus watching a tiny bit of pro play will get anyone out of silver level play asap

I mean plenty of people I guess get legitimately mired in silver because they refuse to self-analyze or improve or practice anything
