Surely you jest. Firestarter and Grinder are terrible, Cartel is okay. The only skins I like from that case are Fire Elemental and Cardiac.

I don't like Cartels, but overall I like the Vanguard collection, especially the M4s in Restricted rarity instead of bullshit Classified/Covert. I like the Five-Seven in Urban Hazard too. It's a shame they don't drop anymore.

They could use some anger management classes in high schools because some of these kids clearly need them (I definitely do too)

Unreal Tournament should do a cross promotion with Valve so you can play Unreal Tournament with your fancy counterstrike guns. Or maybe just say gently caress it and let you run around de_dust2 with flak cannons and shock rifles :hellyeah:

I skimmed thru the OP again and noticed the recommendation for either an AK or M4A1-S for best bang for the buck. RIP days where the M4A1 was $2900 and fired as fast as an A4.

The ST FN AWP Hyper Beast I got in a knife trade two weeks ago when it was $210 on the market is now $394 on the market.

...Huh.

Sell it, buy a ST Worm God or corticera and enjoy having a few hundred steambux you can spend on whatever games you want for the next year.

Oh who am I kidding, that money would just go right back into the CSGO economy.

If it wasn't for the fact that the major was just around the corner I'd say to just buy a few older skins and sell em when they rebound back, but there'll be a second wave of people trading their guns for steambux so they can buy tournament stickers.

e: Also I forgot most people don't play the dumb skin market. Still the event is making lots of people dump items at least as fast as the steam sales.

Why exactly were the visas denied? is america just really strict on who they let in (even temporarily) or is this bad team management in terms of not getting the right paperwork in?

I guessing it's a bit of both, mostly the former underscored heavily by Mongolia being less industrialized and wealthy, making it hard to convince officials that they will quietly go back to their country afterwards when they could instead take up much bigger opportunities here, e-sports or not. Also the current political situation (terrorists! illegal mexican immigrants! oh no!) is not helping any. Hopefully it means that locations for future events will be picked with more care (not NA), it sucks to lose out on the spot because of something practically out of their control.

I'd absolutely love to use that skin if it wasn't so goddamn expensive. It'd even making using the AUG worth it.

The price might drop since they are back on the drop table so prices get a little more affordable! I thought I would invest in a FT one a few months ago, but then thought "I bet they'll just reuse the same loving drops as they did in Bloodhound" and sold it for a couple dollars loss. Turns out you should never underestimate the human tendency towards laziness.

e: prices did indeed drop a fair amount. Still not enough that anyone would call them 'cheap' though.

So why do they congregate in games like CoD or CSGO now? I don't remember kids being this salty back when I played UT2k4 and the like.

Yeah. Seems a bunch of people wish they would stop trying to make the tournament the focus and highlight the team logos but apparently the only major ok with that was Katowice and they got screwed thanks to MLG.

The least they could do is hire some graphic artists who understand the concept of contrast so you can actually make out the logo. Cluj Titan: distinct. Cluj Vexed: barely there.
