If you told me 15 years ago there would be video game teams with paid sponsors I would have laughed in your face. I still can't believe this is a real thing.

Actually back during that time frame there was a televised Counter-Strike league on some special satellite TV channel, can't remember what it was called but it was absolutely a thing and circa 98-02 or thereabouts

edit: Suddenly remembered the name, I was wildly wrong, sorry!

haha alright cause the only "leagues" and "pro teams" I remember from the 90s were CAL-I type poo poo. Is that even a thing anymore?

Betting skins was the best thing to increase competitive CS viewers ever. I'm surprised Valve doesn't run it's own betting site

I've watched rock paper scissors tournaments at 3am on ESPN. They should show CS games then it's a lot more interesting

I need 1 more competitive win before I'm given a rank (8.5hrs until I can play a mm game again :argh:). For like the last 10 games I've only played against nova players with a few silver EM here and there. Does that mean I'm likely to be placed in nova when ranked?

do people actually play hostage rescue in competitive?

no

(unless it's a joke)

I played a hostage map like 2 weeks ago and the CTs got a win for rescuing just 1 hostage even though the rest were alive. Is that how it works now?

Someone mentioned olaf using it maybe starting the rise? Seems weird as hell to me but I guess there's prob a lot of kids who want to use the same skins as their fav pros.

Yup. He was using one all Katowice and they've jumped from a few cents to a few bucks (at least for the stat track version)

I basically get drunk and bet my 4 highest value skins on an underdog who's name I like.

Thus my highest value skin is like $0.70

Confirming that even in Casual, people ragequit over p90 or auto-snipe kills. It's pretty fun because I usually by the P90 every single round.

P90 is my favorite for this reason. "omg rushing p90 human being stop playing in a manner that makes it harder for me to kill you"
