It was our rank up match and we blew it 16-14 because dust is the worst. This sounds interesting, and frankly, I'd like to see some guys who are good at the game play dust. Could you share a link to the demo?

What a nasty game are VP having against Immunity. The Aussies are getting utterly wrecked on Mirage now, with Snax buying an M249 and Pasza on a SCAR. No respect at all.

Demostrs posted:just watching ct side real quick Thanks for the effort dude, but, uh, I think you watched someone else from my team. I was nowhere near radio on pistol, only used the 5-7 once (and at standoff distance then), I used the AUG for like 10 seconds in the last round before getting dropped without firing a shot, round 22 I'm in the warehouse outside, getting AWPed. I think I know who these apply to, though, so I'll pass them on. Thanks anyway!

You're doing the good thing and poo poo, I kinda goofed by not pointing out the username thing. Cheers. edit: also maybe I shouldn't even handled this as a demo, because honestly my performance CT side in that game was absolutely abysmal. If you just watch me there, you'd be done in like two minutes. I was second in my team T side, then I go outside on CT and have no clue whatsoever how to handle that. Tried playing warehouse - got dropped, tried to play near mini - got dropped, tried to play up close - nobody showed up. I got two kills in eight rounds, died every time. So, if anyone has tips on holding outside nuke, I'd appreciate that. Tevery Best fucked around with this message at 11:06 on Nov 1, 2015 |

Famethrowa posted:So, my team was pretty awful, but I think I played my best game yet. I watched it. I take it you're slurps in that video, right? I'm a GNM myself, so don't take what I write as gospel, but I think I can see a few persistent problems in your gameplay. 1) Your aim seems decent for Nova level. Your crosshair positioning could use some work. Keep that crosshair a bit higher up, that helps a lot. 2) What was your team like, comms-wise? It doesn't seem like you talked all that much, there was no co-ordination at all. 3) You don't have to buy every round. Even if your team does, you don't have to. If you can't talk them out of it, don't bother, but just do your thing: don't force if you're low, don't buy if more than one other person is low. 4) Conversely, if you do have cash to spare, buy a helmet! It might be less mandatory CT-side, but the terrorists won't always have those AKs and AWPs. In fact, there is quite a lot of rounds in this very game where you run into people with MAC-10s, MP7s, Bizons. I don't think it backfires on you spectacularly anywhere, but it helps and it's just $350 more. However, not buying a helmet on T-side is just criminal, and you do that several times! Remember, if you don't have a helmet, an M4 headshot kills you, but if you do, you get a second chance to one shot the guy with your Kalashnikov. 5) Same goes for the defuse kit. But you noticed that yourself. 6) If you're forcing up, buy a full armour set. Don't buy a bare Tek-9 (P250 is fine). 7) With the AWP, fire and move. Don't just strafe around like you would with a rifle, you need to be perfectly still to land that shot. Don't peek corners with an AWP. When you kill a guy, consider changing your position (obv less important in solo queue). 8) When defending, change positions within a given area. You move around the map a lot, but in specific locales you always play the same position, regardless of your weapon and the general situation. The downside to this is that by round 18 or so they just knew where they could expect you. This was particularly bad with regards to A site and Goose. You never played it from the car, or the trash container, or the site itself, or the boxes, or the pit even, just Goose. And they did wise up to it, I think. 9) You buy smokes, which is good! Consider learning some good ways to throw them to open up the map. On D2, I think the long doors-> pit area benefits the most from a decent smoke or two, and you got mowed down while coming out of the double doors several times - some nades would have helped with that. There's also a couple easy smokes to cover you from platform when walking out onto B site. For specific rounds: 3. Don't buy round 3 on CT if you've bought and lost the first two rounds. It worked out fine this time because you got those three kills, but if you had died without killing anyone (a distinct possibility on an eco), you wouldn't have had the money for the M4. 4. You made the right call with the move to Goose, but you shouldn't have peeked that AWP, and most definitely not twice. You had a smoke, you had a flash, getting out of there would have been fairly easy. 6. You almost hit a team-mate. This (and another situation way later) prompts me to think you might not be using radar enough. Don't be afraid to press TAB. Also, when you come at the king, you best not miss: when flanking an AWP, bail if you don't kill it instantly. 7. You could have upgraded to helmet no problem for $350 here. You should have done that. 8. Nice nade. Your team was not watching mid up until now, which was a big problem. You changed up on that later on, though. 9. If you want to play mid doors or watch short from the cross, run as you would towards B, then turn around and go there. You have time to spare, and the way you ran in the terrorists could see you moving there and knew you were around. 11. That was quite a reckless push, I like that. Consider using a smoke next time, though. You also made a lot of noise in the tunnels, which almost got you killed, and didn't check your corners right. It worked out in the end, though. 14. More blue on blue. Radar would have helped that, if you had used it, and it's not like you were looking anywhere you could expect an attack from. You could not have helped the guy if you were arranged like that, you should have been looking down long and shifted positions if he died or fell back. 16. Duallies? Odd choice. On the other hand, literally nobody on the server bought armour. 19. If you have the bomb, don't charge blindly (i.e. without info) into cross. You're vulnerable from many sides when you're there, and if you die, the bomb is pretty much irretrievable. Short was a better option. 21. You're on long with the AWP. You're expecting your opposite number to be on the site. That means you have a few options: flashing yourself out is a very straightforward one, for example. More chancy is a jump into pit and duelling from there. Trying to just walk out around the corner and fight them head on is definitely not a good idea. You've been on the other end several times, you should know this. 22. Don't scope in with the SG when you're mobile. Use it as you would an AK in such general circumstances. The momentary confusion of scoping in and the speed decrease probably contributed to you dying before finishing off the guy below you. 23. I wrote down something about "SMOKE!". I can't recall what it was. 24. Did you share info on the guy in the door with your team? Nobody even checked that, nobody smoked him, he just stayed there and chilled until they all turned their backs to him and died. That's it from me. Someone else is bound to poo poo on this advice, so there's that. And if you feel like you have a lot to improve, remember: it's hard to argue with 28 frags.

Jeza posted:Not disagreeing with most your thoughts, but there's a few that are worth bringing up: I may have been too general with something specific. What I meant was more like he walks out, slowly, around the back area of A, around Goose, to peek people he knows are in the double doors area. He knows they are there, they know where he is, they're probably waiting for him. If they have an AWP, that's it. Jeza posted:"Don't buy Tek-9 without armour" - Debatable. Everything is relevant to the context ofc, but there are rounds where it is acceptable to do this. I will do this plenty. You say P250 is fine though, well, Tek is fine too for only $200 more. Depends on your cash. Of course nothing is ever hard and fast, but if you're going into an eco you need to consider the fact that you might die without killing anyone. If I'm investing 500 bucks into a gun, I want some protection to go along with it, otherwise it's IMO too much of a risk of just turning it into a free upgrade to the other team. A Tek-9 is the Officially Best Weapon Ever. A P250 turns you from "useless against armour" to "not useless against armour", so I'm much less worried about losing it. Jeza posted:"Criminal to not buy a helmet as T" - Yes and no. If you can afford it as well as nades, this is true. I actually think your advice holds at GN because nades are wasted, but generally speaking a smoke has more utility than a helmet. A pro with $3700 probably won't buy helmet + AK, but kevlar + smoke + ak, or even galil + kevlar + smoke/2flashes or galil + helmet +smoke/flash. My preference is to buy a helmet over a HE, and if I can't afford helmet and smoke, I'd drop AK to Galil. Situations where you actually need to choose between a helmet and having any nades are rare enough on T in my experience. And if you can afford the helmet (he could every full buy round) you get the helmet, it's really valuable T-side. Also I might be wrong about this but D2 seems much more forgiving in terms of grenades than most other maps. Like, I rarely die with my smoke on Inferno, or Nuke, or Mirage, but I have maybe two or three spots where I routinely chuck a smoke on Dust.

He had a masterful play where he snuck through a wall of smokes they put up on CT-stacked A site and ran into the tunnels, then down to the now-empty B. Amazing stuff. EDIT: VP into a double scout CT-side Mirage after a lost pistol, pasha tags 3 or 4 guys with it

Jeza posted:Maps are really nothing to do with skill ceiling, it's a question of how much time a team has to work with in order to make strats. Teams already cannot and do not prepare every map for an event. Adding 10 more maps for funzies will actually make the overall skill level drop, because in order to succeed they will have to spread themselves thin attempting to learn most of them. What could be interesting would be having a larger map pool (say, 12 or so), but only 7 or 8 of them being in active rotation, with one map being replaced every 4-6 months.

So I finally fell back to Silver Elite Master, where I was originally placed... five months ago? Or something like that? I was hoping the game would at least keep me in the low Novas, where I was for the past week or two, but it looks like it only happened because we had a long victory streak - one poor performance and it's back to the silvers for the whole team. Not gonna lie, it's pretty disheartening.

I just moved from New York and the difference is noticeable When I was playing today, I had ping values upwards of 100 pretty much regularly, and another guy on my team had to deal with ping spikes reaching 300 or more and lasting a better part of a round. 50 ping compared to 20 ping really should not be an issue, ever.
