People who complain about toxic CIS players in cs should just make a tiny effort to learn a little bit of cs russian and you'll have a loyal friend for the entire match

Call your idiot friend a Dolboeb. Yell, don't just say Horosho bratan when they clutch, sprinkle in an appropriate cyka and blyet here and there, just be a conduit for positive slavic vibes

So I've jumped in for the first time in ages, I see nuke and cobble have both had changes. Cobble has changed massively. Will it be coming back into the pro scene any time soon?

Haven't heard much about it. Probably rolled into next big case release or something. It's getting about time for it though.

Caught ViCi getting into the Major vs North. 3-0 in maps overall against them, it was no fluke. kaze and Freeman tore it up. Still, a pretty nuts outcome. Really huge whiff from a team like North, they had every chance. Feel bad for valde, because that guy is extremely nuts and just seems to get better and better. The best Danish player not on Astralis probably.

I remember when they changed cobble a while back but I never played it until last week. Felt like A was much easier to take with the removal of Danger. It's been dramatically simplified.

If you've been away from cs for a decade+, I assume your current matchmaking rank is dog tier, in which case I am incredibly sorry but you probably have half a dozen ranks to climb before the games even starts to vaguely resemble cs

as the resident bottom of silver player: people even at the lowest level of comp seem to know how to play the game, they just can't, including me, so i have no idea where the mythical bad players who don't know what points are are hiding

I'd argue that most players at silver (including me) don't know how to play the game. Sure, click the mans and whatever, but on site by 25 seconds into every round, no patience, 5 man rotations when the first t is spotted. We all have no idea what we're doing beyond buy gun -> click heads next to torsos

The russian children I play with in every game only know where b is and want to rush it every round. This is every map.

I'm crawling back out of silver as well. Something that has helped me is zooming the radar way out so I can see the whole map. It's improved my game sense a lot since I can see where deaths are happening and if the bomb was actually spotted when someone calls for a full rotation.

Much like buttholes, families are meant to be tight.
I'm wondering if that 7.3m is counting Origin Premier memberships. Every single person I played BFV with paid $15 for a month of Origin Premier and bounced off the game after that instead of the $60 base game cost.

this is going to be fun. i’m trying to assemble a 5 man team to do competitive and everybody else is a cs noob so silver is going to be a wild ride once i have 5 people who know how to click on peoples heads

Getting a full consistent group, regardless of skill level, is definitely the best and most enjoyable way to play!

two of the other three aren’t good but listen and communicate well so when they get shot in the face it’s easy to rotate to whatever hole they left

What is your schedule? I can usually squeeze several games a few times a week. In a world with some semblance of social order and justice goonmans would be running more frequently.

I guess I'm pretty lucky to have played with the same gang of 5-8 scandis for the last four years- participation only wavers around WoW expansions, otherwise it's almost a given that two, three games are played every single day with a rotating crew, half of which I played cs league stuff with for two of those years

I'd probably just quit playing if I didn't have a steady group to play with

also i just want to clarify i’m certainly not good anymore and i’m struggling a bit with new physics and recoil patterns and especially map tweaks but as somebody who played cs competitively in like 2004 it’s nice to see the game mostly hasn’t changed.

it does feel leaps and bounds above source which i loving hated from go tho
