RipDouglas posted:No, I think there are a lot of different sub sets of people who like playing together within this group of people, and that letting them make teams with the people they enjoy playing with most creates a more invested attitude (for example the AutNIP team beach called, fairly balanced and a bunch of friends, who are 100% going to show up to play because of it). One person getting picked to a team they don't like pretty much ruins it for the whole team when they decide to ditch. Don't worry, I will take all the discarded players, the outcast goons, the banned goons, and we will galvanize into something greater than the sum of our parts. REVENGE OF THE GOONS

GottaCon Lan update: About to do group stages, there's a few pretty good teams here. 4 groups, top 2 teams from each group advance to playoffs. My team's in group D, chuchill's in group C with his. Sadly I don't think there is any streaming for CS:GO, seems like all the attention is on League and Dota, will have to see though.

Fergus Mac Roich posted:How good is ESEA for someone who really appreciates the ability to look at the clock and say, "Hm, I have 90 minutes, how about some Counter-strike?" and get in a game immediately? I usually play between 7-10PM Pacific, but I don't have a ton of time to do so and would strongly consider signing up as long as it's fast and easy to get in a game. About the same as MM in my experience, the more popular your map options the faster the queue pops. Although earlier in the thread you mentioned you were silver, yeah? There's better ways to improve rather than paying 7$ a month to get thrown around like a human basketball. And if you're Canadian it's like 8.50/month now...loving weak rear end dollar. Recently booked a hotel in the states, holy poo poo I got owned.

Usually if I'm getting frustrated I just step away and do something else after the game. When you were on there, there were goons with a higher average skill level than normal online, so don't take it too hard.

Fergus Mac Roich posted:I'm really glad I'm not crazy for thinking that B site is really hard as T on dust 2. I'm kind of surprised hearing that being a good player who uses grenades effectively won't mitigate it though. For dust 2 as long as you smoke CT mid and pincer B it's not too bad. Also overpass A isn't the worst, pengy is right if you smoke bank you basically only have to check to the right...pretty easy. If you are trying to clear site it can be annoying because there's 1000 places to hide, but with good smokes it's not too bad, just get that bomb down and pull back, retaking A is a pain in the rear end.

Fergus Mac Roich posted:Hah, well, I'll get there eventually, I suppose. I don't see people pincer B in my games, even 5-stacks. I did it for the first time a few days ago and it worked out, but I do have a pretty specific question about it. After doing the safe smoke (smoking CT spawn from behind the safety of box in mid), you should have a teammate flash you in (or you flash him in), then rush in together. If you flash the awper and he's still watching doors he's dead. If he's smart and pulls back after you smoke (as he should) you should still be able to trade him. If he kills 2 or 3 of you even after you flashed and smoked, sometimes people just hit good shots and you lose the round, poo poo happens. When you make it up outsite B from mid, that's when your team should be pushing into B site from tunnels, as you both flash in, make sure you don't flash your team (lolmcvey) and it should be an easy take if you are pincering the guy in there with 3 or 4 T's. Trading is the most important thing as a T taking sites, if you trade 1 for 1 the sites open up a lot and you can often win rounds 2v4 or 3v4 because now the CT's gotta come into your site. People who yell at you for "baiting" are really dumb, because that's the point as T, you gotta give a little to get entry into those sites. Barring crazy strategies a lot of standard play in CS really comes down to if the CT can make 2 or 3 kills, or if the Terrorists get into a site clean with no deaths, stuff like that.

Honestly, most of the issues people have with shots not hitting properly are engine-related or network-related. Engine? Hope that Valve fixes poo poo or Source 2 fixes it. Network? Hope that the internet latency improves in North America. Not likely, as routing just seems to get worse over time. This has nothing to do with download/upload speed. This is why the game sometimes is a frustrating experience online, and appears flawed even on LAN. Just gotta try to not let it bother you too much, it probably won't get any better.

Some day in the future when I'm old I'll look up the usernames of those poor silvers we knifed to death, message them and try to apologize. Only to find out it's too late and they took their lives after that ill-fated MM back in the spring of 2014. Remember, it's never too late to make amends for your smurfing misdeeds, all it takes is a little courage.

Whenever you play against Xen, just type "His name is Robert Paulson" into chat, and spin around in spawn 10 times at the start of a round. If you do, Xen's ping will go up by 10% each time.

Mechanics and reaction times are important (see: KennyS) but Counter-Strike is a game where it matters less than say, Starcraft or something. The mental game doesn't go away as you get older. And yeah Bohemian nailed it, some genres you can still win as an oldie, fighting games case in point.

In one section they list the factors that affect the price of skins. Rarity is the main one I think , but one of the most important was how often a weapon is used. Im certain the main thing driving the insane compulsion to make all weapon 'viable' is the price of skins on the market place. ding ding ding
