Prime is still there, just click on the icon below the map list to switch between one and the other.

P. sure that if you click to only prime, it will give you people who did the same and also people who have prime but searched for trust. But not the other way around.

I almost hate to get a pistol ace first round because then people expect you to be good at the game and I feel I'm letting them down when they find out I'm really terrible.

This is precisely why as much as I hate this game I'll always love it. No other game that I've played is capable of getting me as pumped as CS does.

Every ace I've gotten has been me going into kill-mode and not noticing til someone mentions it. Which is also a good reason to love CS. Any game that causes dissolution of self is a good game.

The cries of the dead are terrible indeed; you should try not to hear them.
It can't really be overstated how rare a 1v5 is against players of similar skill. For a player of average clutching skill, it's probably something along the lines of 1/1000 games. You can find decent RWS players on ESEA with ~3,000 games played and 0 1v5s. It's also one of those weird things where it actually probably gets harder the better you get (assuming your opponents get better too) because they won't give you the procession of 1v1s you might get at a lower level.

Congrats.

Yeah, any successful 1v5 is generally the result of a series of five huge misplays on the opposing team

Acing is something that happens. You suddenly realize you did it. If I ever stop and consider "Oh gently caress, I killed three in that rush, my team is now dead and there are two more." Then i'll just choke and die immediatly.

Oh and I'm not good at this game, not trying to sound braggy. Having a true 1 vs 5 situation I would never ever manage.

True valor in combat is tapping at the last guys toes carefully while he kills you so the guy with 4 kills can swoop in.

That's true. I did well to force 1v1s, especially on an awper holding site, but realistically, at least two of the enemies played it reaaaaally badly, and the third one wasn't too bright, either.

But even against idiots 1v5 isn't easy, so I'm proud. Also this really was my first ace, because generally I don't go hunting for kills... way to start on a high note eh?

When I first started playing again my rank decay from not playing for a few years put me in silver 1 which is almost entirely small children. I would get at least one ace almost every game and every single one managed to be the most boring ace of all time.

He was throwing a flashbang. Perhaps he needed the extra height so it went over the little building. I suspect you don't need to jump for that though.

Here's my last two aces. I'm most proud of the second one since it wasn't all 1v1s like the first.

watching tastosis cast csgo prompted me to bookmark this thread again and jesus i cannot remember being relatively good at this game. i haven't really played in ages and it's completely brutal to quit for any period of time, but proud member of team setting expectations too high with the USP. messy rear end ace: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wstx3US-nHw
