i'm glad to be wrong

Exactly my thoughts, but they utterly destroyed SK on Overpass....

I am cool.
The second half of 2016 has been genuinely very exciting for tournaments because you legit have no idea who's going to make it to the finals.

Finally got back into cs after a 2 year hiatus and was de-ranked from MG into silvers. I never smurfed back then, but I'm having a blast. Most of them don't know any maps besides Dust2 or what to do if they've been smoked/flashed. Toss a good smoke on Nuke and you're gonna have a fun time.

It's gonna suck once I get back into the novas. :smith:

Hell, the qualifier is gonna be awesome in and of itself: Dignitas, NV, Immortals, FaZe, Cloud9, NiP, OpTic, mousesports, G2, GODSENT...

Two of those teams aren't gonna qualify. :allears:

With how 2016 has gone, I can only assume that 2017 will continue in similar form, which is to say every single player will win a tournament except for Niko.

If they save sadokist for the major, the qualifier will be the better tournament

Even with him it might be the better tournament

faze are good lately and mousesports is bad, however, niko is due for a 120+ adr tournament assuming he hasn't completely lost his touch

I think Kerrigan doesn't have the right group to let him lead completely and poo poo. It's obvious it was called into question this final

The mode is inherently unbalanced, as are the maps. Agency tho.

Here's to ya, JACKASS
Terrorists literally have all of the angles, and because of this the CTs will always be at a disadvantage. As much as I loved the cs_ mode in the old days, it makes for horrifically unbalanced and boring pro game matches.

Proof: OGL and TWL CS Ladder back in the old days.

EDIT: This reminds me of how bad CSGO is on consoles.

There's that one brutal hostage map in a warehouse or something where the cts have total control of the exterior and the ts can only huddle inside or get instantly awped if they try to push outside

Tragically, they can't rescue the true hostages: themselves, forced to play on a garbage map.

I was playing casual office as T and the CTs had some kinda pretty good awp players picking everyone off as they ran around (because why not it's casual) and we went 0-7 and at that point the whole team kinda decided to get off their rear end and start trying or something; smokes and molotovs got dropped at every opportunity and we camped hard. We ran it all the way back to win 8-7 and chat exploded, one of the CTs flipped out, and someone played a soundbite of Nelson doing his "Ha Ha!" laugh and for a moment I went back in time ten years to the old 1.6 servers, custom Simpsons sounds and all.

Ts are on defense with cheap AK47s that 1 shot people, CTs don't have any of their natural advantages while carrying all their usual disadvantages(worse rifles, more expensive equip)

No kidding. In that map though they're more likely to kill all the ts without bothering to touch a hostage because their angles are that much better and numerous.
