I thought it was DE_ or nothing for the 'official' esports turboleague.



Much like chess that sees a small benefit for white in professional play, all of its history CS has been balanced for a game mode where Ts attack (bomb) and CTs defend. To help the Ts push, they get weapons that are slightly cheaper, and they get weapons that do a one-shot-headshot like the AK and SG.

In regular gameplay it doesn’t loving matter but in the highest tier gameplay hostage maps (where Ts defend with cheaper weapons with more headshots) tend to favor T side and thus they create an imbalance.

Ehhhh even in pickup games where people generally know how to play cs maps like assault or office will go 15-0 T side each half and winning a round on CT basically wins you the game. It's kinda fun but also kinda poo poo to be broke and losing over and over for half the game.

Thought I’d point out that I can consistently see through all smokes in CS2 after updating to Nvidia’s new driver release yesterday. It flickers a few times a second and you can see people clearly on the other side. Pretttyyyy broken! I've only found one other guy on Reddit mentioning this so far.

Card is a 4090 from Gigabyte (Gaming OC version).

Yeah. A good amount actually. Not sure if you know of or care about ohnepixel but there’s a video where he talks to a few guys who have had skins make it into cases.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqSecjaW6Dk

Long and short it seems like they get a flat cut of the sales of the case, a little more or less depending on the skin rarity (blue - gold) so their payday depends on how popular the case is.

Guy in the video mentions around $400k median for one of his skins in an average case so far.

Yeah, I think they even get a cut from when people sell them to eachother on the market. I found some article that claimed that they make about 420k USD from a skin in a popular case, which I have to say is a real good amount.

This is very true however hostage maps (popular ones) also have the problem of the map itself. Office has all the classic examples where it's long hall or short chokepoints for CT to attack. How difficult the match can be depends on hostage placement too, a paper room and end of long hall hostage placement are the easiest places to rescue and everywhere else significantly harder. After you get there you still have to bring back the hostage to CT spawn. Italy sort of reworked this by adding the connector tunnels. There was the map Apollo during Broken Fang that rectified these issues especially by adding a second hostage extraction zone near the hostages themselves but no one played the map.

I'ma buck you up.
I wish spraying wasn’t so incredibly bad now. If I don’t kill someone in the first 4 bullets or so and I don’t pause to reset, I die every single time. Used to be pretty good at spraydowns in GO.

I also would like some economy adjustments, MR12 makes CT side pretty rough, where on T you maybe need to save like once.

I don’t know if it’s just been practice or mental, but my sprays are about where they were in GO. Once I hit a few and got myself out of the “sprays are bad” mind state I started hitting them again.

Tell me what you'd like to see?
Preferably - 'low' intensity skins.
The flashier stuff is -way- harder to actually get in game, while it is pretty.
More reserved things like the engraved metal skins or muted tone paints are more viable.

Not that it's going to stop me making neon pink super soaker skins.

Not too bad ending my first day with a premier rank. The two solo games I did to finish my placement matches were actually really great. Everyone was friendly and knew how to play, which is *very* rare. Most of the time soloing is a loving shitshow and it makes me contemplate death, but I got lucky with those last two.

I liked them both on the workshop but the SSG553 looks too much like the Covert grade M4A4 Desert Strike. The Aug would go well with stickers. Your Volcanic skins look too much like the blaze too. If I had your abilities I would try a purple colour/themed Negev since none exist.
