As much as i scoff at those maps being added, i guess it will be at least sort of fun to see good teams play on them lol.
Hopefully the next QUARTER MILLION tourney includes conduit and that weird night time city map we tried out.

If they always veto 1 map, they can practice the other maps 25% more. Hard to say if it helps, but it definitely is problematic with the current tournament map pools that have some selection of season/cache/cbble/overpass in addition to the 5 standard maps. years really gaining a ton out of scrimming inferno dt and mirage that wouldn't just be overall useful to the team.

What team are you talking about? The only thing problematic about the pool being different is that they're going to have to learn to play cs like men and get better at nuke.

I really hope the veto stuff becomes a huge deal and casters get all worked up during 25min of map picking. Looking forward to anders and lurrpis letting the audience know how they are handling all of the excitement that comes with cbble maybe making it to the last 2/3 maps before being vetoed

When another team wanted to play it against them to practice they'd just say that they just played it.

Yeah that's p much exactly what I was assuming. I mean when it comes to the few(2 or 3 including season) maps that are only used in 1 or 2 tourneys that makes sense. :lol: @ going ahead and assuming you can auto veto standard rear end maps and never scrimming on them, that's some goon poo poo

I'm sorry but I've played maps for the first time and managed to be "coordinated". It'll take about four scrims for them to figure out the map. The idea that counter-strike maps are some kind of super deep piece of art to be inspected and studied for weeks on end before you can understand what's going on is some kind of dumb fiction.

Exactly this, lmao. I'm not sure what Kind of analysis you imagine, but uh basically every teams scrims are more about cohesion than drawing on a whiteboard. Most decisions need to happen on the fly.

You cannot actually think 1 month is insufficient time mcvey, i mean it's such an obvious voodoo magic reason im surprised anybody takes it seriously lol.

i mean what do you actually think is going on during high level team's scrims, practicing throwing 3 smokes and flashes at precisely 1:25? more scoffs going out at those not occurring without a word of planning, because if that type of poo poo is what a team is having to prepare all month for, they are all bad players.

needing to put a concentrated conscious effort toward making plays together will almost for sure mean you will lose lol, even especially in pugs.

Let's ask Titan.NBK:


Pretend I bolded the whole thing.

yeah no doubt it takes many games to truly have the map down where you all have a solid rear end groove that works beautifully. but he's spewing horseshit about crossfires, smokes, and flashes. every team should be getting a good handle on those things within 5 real scrims on any map.

either way they are only trying to buy some time before they have to work out a way to scrim real teams on those maps between now and then, which I could actually see being a pain in the rear end, but of course they seem to be leaning towards the 'preparedness' issue which applies to all of them equally and just plain isn't as extreme as they are making it seem lol.

any time a 20 something gamer says anything in general will take longer than 1 month and is being serious about it he is almost definitely bullshitting.

i can agree that it's kind of weird for this change to be made at the biggest cash tourney though. i mean why not get them tossed in to cevo or whatever all the constant euro tourneys are.

What pro team do you play for again?

lol, there it is. not trying to actually qualify any of my opinions with this, but i have at least done a fair amount of scrimming and ringing for open/poo poo IM teams/one main team that was chill. so yeah definitely not invite level practices, but have you never checked out any good players streams when they stream their team practices? give me an example of what requires that much time to prepare.

look dude this game isn't that loving complicated, but that doesn't mean i'm claiming nothing is gained from bootcamping and scrimming nonstop with your team.

seriously, a loving MONTH dude. ESEA has never given more than a couple of weeks notice before they make changes, obviously that is because they have seasons etc. but when you play so much with the same guys it's not going to take nearly as much hardcore effort to at least pick it up so that you don't meltdown and hide in a janitor's closet if the veto's somehow result in overpass vs cbble or some poo poo.

e: im also not trying to defend opass/cbbl or even the decision to add the maps at this particular tournament. but teams who already just straight up don't practice mirage or nuke really shouldn't be trying to find some way to either a) get more comfortable with whatever map you loving suck on or b) end up bumbling around in a cbble game

Yeah can someone elaborate how you can get hosed through Paypal if you just hold steady on "You need to pay me first as a Gift Payment, I'll transfer to bank account, then I will trade over the key or no dice."

I'd probably just use our goon broker to avoid the hassle.


The main method of paypal scams is usually just issuing a chargeback, or using a stolen card, which will result in a chargeback once the fraudulent activity has been noticed by the bank

Well if you're selling on the market, you don't need to worry about it because your money(steam bux) is guaranteed.

If you're looking for real money via PayPal or whatever, things get quite a bit riskier even if you are pretty careful. I'm not an expert on scam methods but there's plenty of poo poo somebody can do to make you think you have the money, so you go ahead and give them the item, and then whoops it turns out you didn't actually get the money(or you did, and it was then taken back from your balance because of a chargeback, the buyer using a stolen card, etc). So since crate keys of any kind are always the same price, you can lower your risk by trading the knife for however many keys via a steam trade. Then you're sitting on 100 things that are worth $2.50 so you can then go ahead and sell the keys to goons/friends/your porn newsgroup for paypal and if it does turn out somebody does a chargeback or whatever, you only lose out on a tiny bit of value.

So in the OP the great econ writeup mentions buying armor/p250 but at least armor after a lost pistol round. I feel like I very rarely see people buying armor in round 2 after a loss (even in goonman), is this strategy still current? I hear a lot more 'don't buy anything' after a lost pistol round.

buy whatever you want on round 2 after a loss on 1. i wouldn't recommend buying kevlar w/o a helmet though. if you're not going to get a helmet, the 650 for kevlar is pretty much always better off being spent on anything else. always get at least a p250 on round 2

On a related note I've been practising a smoke on dust 2 from coming out of ct spawn to double doors on long a that pops more less the moment after you can peek that corner on the right but I'm not sure its worthwhile. A better thrower than me can it right in the doors which is awesome but I can only get it to block from like the barrel to the big blue dumpster. You can definitely cross into pit with it so you can have a crossfire going with the dude who stays on the corner but on the other hand they can get out the door for sure too. What I've been finding in the soloqueues is the corner guy will leave and let you get murdered alone in the pit if he can't peak the door opening directly so its been kind of a mixed bag because being in really early is sweet especially if they decide to push the smoke at all but it doesn't matter if the guy leaves because then they smoke the corner and jump in with you. Not really sure if its worth doing

That smoke can be useful as long as 1: you get to peek the door for a split second and 2: you're not inside the smoke when it pops.

That way you can try to kill the guy going for the pick and you/your teammate can cross to pit.
