by the way, this game is the primo example why mr5 is a better ot system than mr3

I don't disagree, but I remember playing a game with mr5 OT that went 41-39. Let me tell you, it hurts some to go to yet another mr3 OT, but it drains your whole soul to have play consecutive mr5 overtimes.

Maybe there's some maths that shows that on average mr3 OT takes up less rounds and time than mr5 despite having a higher chance to go to double-triple-quadruple w/e

the new meta is being in a 2 or 3 vs 5 is actually an advantage, and your chance of winning the round goes up 90%

I tuned in when the score was like 14-5 in favour of F3 and I thought it was a pretty awesome game to watch. So so many clutch plays and individual moments with one player keeping their team in the tournament. Yes there was "sloppy" play, but almost every single good moment of CS is built off sloppy play anyway. The sloppiness was almost entirely around what the teams were doing rather than what individual players were doing.

It'd be cool if we got a proper Round Robin group stage and an Upper/Lower bracket tournament. Not particularly keen on how these majors work.

Four decent looking bo3's on the cards today as well. I'd be happy with mouz or NiP, hoping for G2 and Gambit, and I'd just love to see fnatic go out. Seeing fnatic lose is really just the best thing.

I've watched CS for quite a long time, and I can't remember a clock loss round so awful. Usually it's a close run thing or there's some explanation. Just watching CLG do nothing and losing like that was like...what the gently caress?

I'll decide whether I want Liquid in the final if they look like they can compete against Na'Vi or Astralis. That's a big if though.

There's another super team worth of danes floating around, but their scene is traditionally pretty unstable. Except Astralis I guess.

Didn't get to see the games today sadly, seen the desk say Na'Vi won all 4 pistols which much have been pretty crushing. Weird for them to take Inferno so close yet to get stomped on dust2 as well.

Demostrs posted:

if i were astralis i'd probably do -cajunb -xyp9x +kjaerbye +magisk, get some new blood in and hope that the choking impetus leaves the other three

Unironically I'd cut any other player except maybe Karrigan before I cut Xyp9x from that squad. Device seems to choke in big games way more, and there's no shortage of sick aim talent in Denmark to replace their fraggers. Xyp9x is a nuts clutcher, amazing support, and consistent against any team, any time it seems like. If anybody wants to learn how to be good at CS and doesn't have freaky mutant raw aim talent, just watch that kid with the giant forehead.

I just checked the stats and he top fragged against Na'Vi in the series. I don't really think he is the problem, it's the supposed stars of the lineup who just stop delivering in semis.

Both GuardiaN and olofm's hand injuries mean they are pulling out of Malmo looks like. fnatic looks to be pulling out entirely, and Na'Vi not sure yet? Turns out playing lots of videogames can gently caress up your hands.

I don't understand the "take this out of the game Valve" stuff. Well I do, it's the crying of someone trying to blame 1 double kill on choking away 19 other perfectly good chances to win a major, but what are Valve supposed to do about it? Make it less random? more random? Either one doesn't solve the problem of jumping/lucky hits.

NtotheTC posted:

That was my point though. So you move the decimal point, weapons get more innacurate while jumping, people still jump and shoot wildly because you can get lucky, so these lucky shots still happen. All that changes is how far away the crosshair was from the target when they got lucky. You can either have it luck based (what we have now) to a greater or lesser extent or entirely skill based (no variance). People will complain about both.

Jumping accuracy is fully loving stupid in CS:GO and basically has been since day one. A jumping AWP shot should be a loving Christmas miracle, even when they are close range. Try pulling that in 1.6 and Source and you just died for nothing. Your point about if it is more inaccurate, people will still do it anyway is just complete nonsense. If it almost never works compared to works pretty often, then people won't attempt it nearly as much (like in 1.6/Source when people rarely tried jump frags). Like, jumping for information beside A site on D2 is now the absolute norm, previously it rarely happened.

I probably die to some bullshit jump kill at least once a game. The only reason people should be jumping around corners is to not die to an AWP.

e: guardian out for Malmo, replaced by starix

Speaking of, we just played the sickest faceit game ever. Dust2, lost CT half 2-13. Getting trashtalked like gently caress. Lose pistol round on T half. Force it up and win. Then somehow tooth and nail all the way to 15-15. 5th has to go and we have to play OT 4v5 and we still manage to close it out 21-19. Feels like we won CS.

Also I have Surreal on my friends, played against him many times. He plays a lot of shoot mans. Played his team in his own league a few times too. They weren't very good.

Jump scout is fine, it's jumping everything else that matters. Jumping AWP should be like 1% to hit or less.
