^ yeah this is going about how I expected. Rooting for underdogs so hopefully it'll be interesting if they put up a fight.

The utility by Astralis jesus christ. 45 seconds into the round and T's are huddled in their spawn 200 hp in the hole. Insane.

16-6 is generous. That was a curbstomp.

Big upsets are fun at the time but they do tend to make the rounds after more boring.

Astralis v Liquid was the final, it was like watching a whole different game to any other match at this tournament even if it was still pretty comfortable for Astralis.

playing against astralis in playoffs probably feels like coming to an exam for which you didn't study, and didn't attend any classes, you just read a few wikipedia articles about it

Loving this new "forget to buy defuse kits" meta from the best teams in the world. like 3 or 4 rounds in this semi-final lost because the CTs floated money and didn't buy them

Haven’t seen the matches in question, but did they truly buy no kits at all? Often times, pro teams seem to be buying 2-3 kits at maximum, in the hopes of being able to pick them up from fallen teammates.

To be fair, I saw dupreeh forget to buy one when he had like 7k after buying, but he won the round anyway after finding one.

Also, Astralis is back on top for sure if they can beat EG. As sad as I am to see NA CS continue to get stuffed repeatedly by Astralis, it's really amazing to watch greatness in action.

Geometry is mostly untouched which is great. Would have liked some changes like removing forklift or moving the toxic ladder up against the wall. Can't wait to goonman it, it'll be on the workshop soon I presume?

Cs having an EG lineup is cool. they recently bought a LoL team as well, so I guess the org is throwing some money around

Hoping a dead thread for a dead game can help me with improving my FPS, as I just started playing again after many months and holy hell is it an annoying issue. It's already (and always has been) consistently low, averaging at around 40-50, but it's drat miserable when there's smokes and mollies out or during a firefight when it dips to the 20-30 range, even when the only things I have open are the game, Steam, and Discord. I imagine the root problem is my CPU from mid-2012 (3.3 GHz AMD FX-6100), but I wanted to make sure there wasn't anything else I could do before splurging on a new one as soon as I'm able. CS:GO settings are all on the lowest they can be for so-called "best performance," my GPU options (RX 480) are as well, and my launch options are as follows: -novid -freq 60 -nojoy -nod3d9ex -high -noforcemspd -noforcemouseaccel +cl_forcepreload 1 +mat_disable_fancy_blending 1.

Top of my head I don’t believe you want forcepreload.

e: disabling the steam overlay in both general steam preferences and for csgo also gets me a ridiculous FPS increase for some reason

Remove all your startup options for starters. At best they’re just cargo cult nonsense, at worst they actually make things worse (like forcepreload).

Did all of this (except I kept -novid in the launch options because, well, come on now), and no noticeable improvements. If they can help at all, I included two screenshots of the stats counter at the bottom right I enabled years ago and now don't remember the proper name of. For reference, the first screenshot is looking to A from pit in D2 in a very empty Valve DM server, after getting rid of forcepreload and disabling the overlay. The second is in the same spot after doing everything else, in a packed Valve DM server.

Your CPU is real bad but I don't think you should be dropping under 60 fps on low. Run HWInfo and check the clockspeed and temps on both the CPU and GPU to make sure they're not overheating and throttling.

Reading your post reminded me I had Speccy installed, so I ran that quickly, and judging from what I'm seeing, that's got to be at least part of the problem. I'll pick up some compressed air sometime tomorrow, go to town on my PC, and see if there's a difference. Thanks!

Re-pasting the CPU cooler is probably also worth doing if you feel up for it.
