Crazy how many things have been datamined in the latest update. Seems like the matchmaking overhaul as reported by Richard Lewis might be coming. People have found mentions of leaderboards, seasons, and an HLTV-esque "CS rating". Valve also just announced that they're going to be making a massive change to the way pro tournaments work. With only Inferno remaining as the last active duty map to be ported as well as the danger zone gamemode it feels like we're getting close to either open beta or full release. Here's Valve's tournament announcement: quote:Counter-Strike is at its best when teams compete on a level playing field and when ability is the only limit to their success.

The tournament change is loving huge and welcome. The partner leagues were admittedly a necessity to preserve the scene as much as possible during covid but were quickly becoming an informal franchising agreement between the moneyed orgs and the TOs. A notable result lately is EG being a dogshit, terribly run org that flames out of literally every tournament possible in the earliest stages but getting invites to everything over more deserving orgs like ENCE and Mouz. Makes for a lovely experience for fans and orgs alike. It’s also a perfect time to announce this as the anti-franchising sentiment in the Valorant community is reaching a peak. Easy W for Valve and CS.

Agreed, I think the Paris major was a great example of when these smaller teams get the chance to play you can get some really competitive and exciting matches. People think there's a huge difference between Tier 1 and Tier 2 teams but really it feels more like it's just sponsored vs non-sponsored teams. That's not to mention the teams that you mentioned like ENCE and Mouz that are just smaller Tier 1 teams that just couldn't pay to play like EG. This change along with CS2 feels like the CS scene is just going to keep getting better and growing

There’s been some interesting stuff showing up in the datamining too. Looks like they’re redoing the ranks (not ELO unfortunately but a visible MMR nonetheless) and centering a lot of it around the Premier MM queue.

https://twitter.com/aquaismissing/status/1686886189578461184?s=46&t=acepYlUc5mZ3hat7zK2dyw It would probably be for the best to have premier be the way to play ranked active duty if they’re going to rework the ranks like this. Seems kind of ridiculous that we have Vertiglobals and Office globals

The other big hubbub is changing to MR12 instead of MR15 Spooooooky!

I'm interested to see how Valve's MR12 format would feel to play. Short matches are an interesting experiment with the economy, maybe they could perfect it for MR12? Apparently, CPL used to do MR12 way back in the day, so it's not like MR15 has been the standard forever. I feel like managing the economy across each half is one of the coolest aspects about CS, though the save meta is kind of boring to watch

I picked up and stopped playing CS back in like 2017 because I couldn't handle the MR15 for everything; each game took forever. The stakes were too high due to the time needed for a game. As a result, people were toxic as it felt like a gross misuse of time. I just returned to CSGO and have had a better time with the Short Competitive game mode. First to 9 rules for a casual baby like myself.

I think MR12 can be good if they make the necessary adjustments to the economy. Make sure pistol rounds and conversions stay important but don't shrink it all too much to where every game becomes force-buy wars (which is what the MR8s always devolve to) and it can be a good way to recombine the playerbase into one MM queue. That + making premier the main competitive mode should mean bigger pools >>> better matchmaking >>> faster queues.

My HyperX Cloud IIs just died and I'm looking for a wireless replacement or upgrade. Anyone got any CSGO specific recommendations (or sets to avoid)? I'm considering the HyperX Cloud Alphas at the moment but any help would be appreciated!

If you care at all about what your mic sounds like the Razer Blackshark V2 Pro is the standard bearer nowadays. If you just care about sound quality most recommend the Cloud2 Wireless or the Logi G-Pros

hello internet posted:Steelseries pro nova wireless is the best headset I’ve ever used, strongly recommend if you don’t mind paying Yeah I have been considering these because there's a lot of glowing reviews and I have some steelseries gear I like already but they're definitely pushing my budget. Pandaal posted:If you care at all about what your mic sounds like the Razer Blackshark V2 Pro is the standard bearer nowadays. If you just care about sound quality most recommend the Cloud2 Wireless or the Logi G-Pros In the longer term I'm planning to get a separate desktop mic so the mic isn't too important. I know the HyperX mics aren't the best.

There's this weird bug where it says there's six players on a team (one is offline) and you start with a guaranteed timeout. Hope they fix soon.

I liked the new voting system for the maps so far. Might get annoyed later if I want to play a specific map. Thought the sound quality was really bad, and got quite confused on the bomb placement on nuke. Oddly enough I enjoyed the cross hair moving with the bullets, but ultimately blamed that option when I started doing poorly and I turned it off. Didn't realize there was overtime. Nice surprise.

Push El Burrito posted:Which idiot of video games said "no 4 person queues"? It’s the right call. If you’re the solo guy playing with a 4 stack it just always 100% sucks. Best case scenario you play with no comms while they all sit in a discord call and reserve their push-to-talk key solely to blame the odd man out for every lost round. Back when there were bots you’d just end up getting vote kicked so one of them could play the bot every round. 3-stack still allows a chance at another 2 guys playing together. Otherwise find a 5th buddy.
