yeah this is nothing new, if you want to trade, bet, gamble you need to enable 2 step auth.

I don't understand why people wouldn't do it anyway just for account security purposes? My original five digit account got phished from me years ago when I wasn't using it, so I definitely want to make sure nothing happens to the one that I have now.

That doesn't make it any less of a pain in the rear end. Fortunately though I'm not a complete moron wrt doing things on my computer that results in my account being phished, so it doesn't matter.

It happened to me on a PC that I had never installed Steam on for years, so when I actually got back into PC gaming about almost five years ago I noticed that my SteamID had been VAC banned during the almost six years I hadn't used it. It had nothing to do with "doing things on my computer". It can happen to anyone, and it's best to be vigilant about your own accounts security, especially if you have bought as many games as I have.

Since demos are down, I figured I can do some quick look at my stats over the amount of games I have at my current rank. I have an account at LE and have been playing on my main which was downranked to MG2. After getting it back up to DMG relatively quickly, I wondered how well I need to do to rank-up. So I kept track of my records via end-game screenshots to see how I did.

My last 15 games have been 10 wins, 2 ties, and 3 losses.

If I win, my K/A/D is 19-6-15. Average score is 16-8.
If I tie, my K/A/D is 27-8-22.
If I lose, my K/A/D is 17-3-18. Average score is 8-16.

I find that kinda funny. Even though I have a positive win/loss record, from the looks of things it appears that I may be getting carried in the games I win? Or it could be just a symptom of well-functioning teams/better players.

Just some food for thought. I'm curious to see what kind of scores other people generally have with the role they prefer. Ex: I like rifling as entry/support.

I've been using the Head Shot Box program since August and tracking my games ever since. It's a really handy tool. I'm pretty satisfied with where I am, although I know I should be LEM since I tend to top frag in regular LE/DMG games pretty easily. Also, I love being an entry fragger/solo site player. Nothing like dominating a site all by myself.

Aztec was certainly in more than one season of CAL. I think dust even made an appearance and the general consensus was that it was awful.

I remember when de_cpl_fire made its debut in CAL, and my team was set to take on the best team in CAL-IM at the time (might have team "I don't care" or "it doesn't matter", I can't quite remember) and I was my team's resident poo poo-talker on the CAL forums, which were absolutely brutal to every member, and pretty much the entirety of the forum said that we were going to get dominated by our opponents.

We had discovered through hours of practice that as CT while watching mid and timing it just right, if you had a rifle you could spam through mid and hit the T's as they were making their way from spawn to the main hallway. Our guy pLaF would do this every round he had an M4 and by the time the T's would get to any site, most of them had already been hurt badly. Having started on CT, we ruled that half and broke their spirit as they ended up talking more poo poo to us in global chat repeatedly while our only responses would be "mm2", which just infuriated them even more.

When all was said and done, I believe we brutalized them with a scoreline of 23-7 (yes, this was before the change to best of 30). Needless to say that demos and screenshots were requested and they soon disbanded.

Ahhhh, memories.

hopefully we can just get a whole stable of ex hellraisers players in NA and maybe NA teams will start taking their jobs seriously. I've heard a lot of good things about stan and rush and daps. Shame for shahzam, because he seemed to be doing very well but as a team if you get a chance to pick up oskar you absolutely have to take it

I agree with this. I hadn't seen Oskar play until the MLG qualifier, and if it weren't for him and ANGE1, Hellraisers definitely wouldn't have gotten as close as they did. That dude floored me with some of his plays.

Could you recommend a zowie mouse? I miss my steelseries sensei raw, but they don't make the version I had anymore (the one they make is ridicuously heavy)

I have an EC2-A which is good for people with smaller hands. Even though I'm a bad player, I like it a lot, it's comfortable. I hear good things about the FK1/FK2 models also. Not sure about anything else.

For real, I will never go to another mouse brand ever again since coming over to Zowie from a SteelSeries Sensei Raw (and a Rival that died after only a couple months). I have an FK-1, and I have smaller hands so it's the perfect size and outperforms my old Sensei like no ones business.

g502 is legit, bro. If you liked the g5 or the mx518 this is the spiritual and performance-wise successor. The beauty of it is it grips your hand like no other mouse I've ever used so you have very precise aim.

I need a mouse. Not an alien space ship. That's one reason why I have been turned off by the majority of Logitech products (except for the new G810 keyboard, because it actually looks loving normal).
