Don't queue dust2, bind "t" "toggle voice_scale 0 1"

Also cl_mute_enemy_team should be set to 1.

Flip to 0 after about 10 rounds of you pushing their poo poo in and act surprised they're calling walls on you. Helps if you keep a private profile.

I've won the last 10/11 of my MM games on my main that got deranked massively due to inactivity. The loss was due to 2 griefers. People get reeeeeeal salty.

This game is more fun when you give less poo poo about talking and just focus on clicking heads.

Of course now it's worthless but back in the day...

Also sens chat - how much physical room do you have, what's your dpi, and ingame sens at? Unless you're something really drastic you shouldn't have a problem with clearing angles properly if your movement is good.

I suck at KZ maps. This video by Launders made me learn this job consistently with 20 minutes of practice.

I kept counter-steering by pressing A near the end which kept causing me to fall off. If you're having trouble, pay attention to his crosshair.

EDIT: In fact, I just went ahead and learned the mirage window to ladder room jump following the exact same steps. Just go left instead of right.

My mind is blown right now.

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.




Do you just need to make sure you download any demo and it takes care of the rest?

Seems pretty nifty, might have to check it out. Thanks!

Finally ranked up one another win. So there you go, DMG -> LE is 11 wins, 3 losses, and what - 2 ties? Definitely feels much longer than other ranks.

I had a Mionix Naos that I liked but was getting a little crampy. I decided to splurge and get another one and got myself a Castor. Sweet lord, this mouse is heaven. If anyone wants something else besides the standard logitech/steelseries stuff, get one of these.

I'm really close to ordering this since I hate my uncomfortable deathadder. I loved my naos before it broke. How's the grip on the Castor?

I think the only complaint I might have is the left side rubber grip. It's incredibly light, a lot smaller than the NAOS but just amazing craftsmanship as well. My favorite over the G402, the Rival, MX510/8, and the 7000.

edit: may have to adjust your grip slightly. I'm palm grip with 3 fingers on the top and gripping sides with thumb/pinky and love the shape

Here's the thing though, even when kqly got vac'd and reddit went insane trying to find out who was gonna be next, they never did. No one called emilio being the next one down and HR was fairly popular at this time point. I can guarantee you that if after all the scrutiny by valve, the majors, and the community, that if after all of that flusha has not been caught, then he is not cheating

If he gets vac'd then permaban me

I'm trying to understand what your point is. You singled out a VAC ban, then said people freaked out and started a witch hunt but they didn't catch anyone. Then the point was brought up that other people hacked.

Is your point a defense of flusha or a defense of there not being any cheaters?

Either way, just because someone hasn't been caught yet even after some scrutiny doesn't mean they are guiltless. The guy is good, but he makes fishy plays a lot of the time. Let the people speculate, I need some drama to read about at work.

Why do people ever buy decoys? All they ever do is throw them mid or in spawn.

I use it to make the enemy mistime for AWP duels. When you throw it the other guy sometimes thinks they have a window to peek when you haven't done poo poo.

These community FFA servers just don't seem like they're worth it. I'll hop on and it's literally stand in one spot and wait for someone to peek. It teaches you nothing about moving across the map because you're stuck since you'll end up doing constant 180s trying to get whomever spawned behind you.

I feel like the team deathmach one slightly better but even then.... gently caress, Valve's Deathmatch is better thought-out - it's just that it's too easy to do well there.

Deathmatch as I know it (Quake) was spawn, collect items, and work the map. This instagib bullshit is worthless besides just getting the twitch on someone; which is actually pretty easy. Working the map, understanding sightlines, etc is harder and more important.

If I want to practice I feel like I have to actually do aim_botz and just stick to that. I swear that map is the best for ugprading your aim over the course of a few weeks than this FFA bullshit. Only difference is the bots don't shoot back, but with how these servers are laid out - it doesn't matter.

So I spent the last week and a half playing at 900 effective DPI (dpi x sens) and realized that I'm sucking way too much at tracking to justify the use. Back to 800 effective even if I can't flick backwards as insanely it's still good enough.
Guess playing all this long you just get used to something. No reason to change.

I also tried an experiment a few weeks back to do 700 effective DPI. Found that way too slow.
