What did you say the strategy was?
Didn't play for a while and got slotted in around 8.5-9k, feels loads better than getting dumpstered at 12k all the time

Don't MM

Fear is the glue that holds society together. It's what makes people suppress their worst impulses. Fear is power.

And at the end of fear, oblivion.



I've been hovering just above 10k for a while. I seem to get teammates that never have mics, while opponents seem to have memorized cs-tactics utility usage videos and take sites with precision.

I went from 4k to 10k in like a week in January after a vac banwave, and since then basically zero progress.

Brother this gets posted anytime you mention CS here but the server is always either empty or has an “official” going on. I love community servers but MM has its place too. I always check my favorited community servers when I first log on but both times I’ve joined the sub.io ones I’m accosted and kicked for interrupting a match.

Still playin'

Have lost 10 matches in a row - Went from 11.5k down to 9k, seemingly going up against godlike players (not cheating) that absolutely clap us. Other team doesn't use util at all, just outaims us all game, no execs, nothing. Very disheartening.

Honestly shocked you only lost 2500 ELO for losing 10 in a row. The insane “streak ELO” poo poo creates its own smurfing problem, I lose three in a row and suddenly I’m losing 2-3x the ELO for a loss that I gain for a win. A lot of lobbies where a dude is 3k ELO below the room and is stomping everyone because Valve decided to nuke their ranking for a gimmick instead of a simple +/- 10 or 12 depending on the matchup.

Well, I mean, the matches in the server are setup the same way as a 5v5 competitive in matchmaking? So it's not like you can just join something ongoing in the server if there's already a 5v5 set up. Anyway, matches are set up through the discord server now and usually happen after 7PM EST on weekdays but can be any time on weekends.

There’s a few slots for spectators. When I joined I assumed it was just casuals so I picked T’s and got thrown out like Jazz from Fresh Prince.

Just a misunderstanding though, don’t mean to poo poo talk the server. Just that community servers are not always the best option and sometimes you wanna play MM, so it should improve.

Yes it’s a “competitive” PUG server with teams selected before the game starts, not a hop in hop out pub. The games are organized in the subio discord.

Yes, MM should be improved but valve has proven over the past decade that they’re not interested in doing that. Subio comp games don’t have cheaters, so it’s reasonable to advertise them to people who may not know about them. Nobody’s singling you out for playing MM.

The pick ban system is great but the way streaks are handled is honestly quite terrible. It'd be better to just gain and lose fixed amounts of rank and adjust up and down based on round wins and any potential disparity between the teams.

Same. I sold a Damascus Steel Karambit right after CS2 launched, bought the aforementioned Gut Knife and a gorgeous Case Hardened AK47.

So a smart economic decision followed up by doubling down into a dumb one again.

I sold 150+ cases for the usual 0.03 cents like a week before CS2 was announced and those cases all jumped up to multiple dollars a piece

The funniest thing about CS2 and porting the skins to the new engine is that a lot of the lovely low tier skins now look loving great. Solid colour and spray paint types were moved to the new model so they look better with the new shaders and they have the benefit of getting the new model eg Dualies Contractor comes to mind.
