So is that pretty much a straight trade, Krimz for Lekr0? Yikes.

He should have capped it off with a WHAT UP NOW BRITS WOOO

I love this. Had he not reacted the way he did I have to imagine no one would have gone all in there. I mean pocket kings and aces aside, that's still a ballsy move pre-flop on the final table.

I just report folks who routinely prefire me, even when holding off angles, but nothing else. Nutty shots through walls/smoke happen all the time. But consistently predicting where I'm playing and not checking/prefiring other poo poo I find really suspect.

I think radar is probably the most common out of everything. Essentially undetectable unless they get super blatant about peeks and never change up. e: words

Is there any way to look up people's rank on community servers?

I don't think so. If you're not sure just type "lol nt" whenever you win in 1v1 servers.

C9 with the addition of autimatic and yung stew went from one of my least favorite teams (because they were over hyped for so long) to one of my favorites. Stewie is just fun to watch. His movement is always so on point.

C9 is looking extremely solid right now. I do think mouz has got to be tilted after how some of the things they've tried have gone south. Knife TK's, fumbling mollies, losing so many advantageous post plants...

I've been a fan of SK for a lot longer but C9 is finally the team I've wanted them to be. So whoever wins, as long as they're not all 16-0's I'm fine with.

I was absolutely floored just how one sided map 3 was. SK looked extremely tilted.

The only two rounds they won first half were huge clutch plays from cold and Fallen too. Scary stuff for sure.

^ Everything is still limited by cooldowns and items and all of that stupid bullshit in dota. In CS a great player can ruin an entire team with a USP.

Famethrowa posted:

Doota takes way fewer hours to become competent at, so smurfs don't matter as much as in CS. When it takes ~500 hours to be even somewhat competent at CS, someone just starting the game will be absolutely schooled by a veteran and have no fun.

This. Also if you're playing Dota I have absolutely no sympathy for you.

Kind of interesting to hear what motivations he thinks the cheaters have. I don't get these people. Like with what he terms the casual guys who just want to make the game easier for themselves you shouldn't really need that in csgo. You could just stay at mg1 or silver whatever and not cheat. And the guys who just want to win, well you aren't winning and you know you aren't winning so whats the point. The ragers and the revenge cheaters I can at least understand.

I think the rationale is that cheating gets them to the rank they SHOULD be at for whatever dumb reasons they have. And that them cheating just evens the playing field against other people cheating.

1. Dazed and Steel will do a good job.
2. They're well known in the community.
3. Any controversy will just do more to advertise their tournament.

I have to imagine he'll get shifted to another team where he'll be a better fit.

Honestly unless Splyce wanted to spend 6+ months doing nothing but teaching him English this was always going to be the result. Assuming he had virtually no capability to speak it before the acquisition that is.

I do wonder if there would have been more high profile matchfixing if their punishment wasn't as severe. Assuming there is next to none right now, that is.

It's great how Valve basically removed gun skin drops from the game now that they added sprays.

I suspect that the next operation will highlight "you can get weapon drops again!" if they ever loving release it.

As much as I dislike the Optic brand I really do enjoy all of their CS pros. The lack of respect they were showing NV in their early T side was loving hilarious. Rush and Stan were just flashing through smokes at long and always coming up trumps.

Yung Stew taught them a lot in Rank S apparently :smugdog:

Did you not watch them struggle against mousesports earlier? I'm very skeptical if this fnatic is even going to be worth a poo poo in a few months since they're doing the exact same things when they were having issues.
