I remember when I went to lans these were often there for free

Went to a Million Man Lan back in the day. Ambulance was there on the 3rd day. Some kid hasn't slept in over 48 hours and had killed something like 30 loving Bawls. I assume he was having some sort of heart issue or something. Saw him wheeled away. Don't know what happened to him. Rip

On a side note. Million Man Lans were amazing. Gigabyte lan backbones in 2003 ish. DL so much porn from the share servers.

Usually I'm good vibes guy. Last night I tilted hard. Only had 1 frag at round 13. Teammates started talking poo poo. Attempted to kick me. Next round more poo poo talking. me- "Just loving kick me I can't do this" teammate - "More poo poo talking" me - "fine I'm going to TK you" teamate - "No you won't" Start round. You're on a competitive cool down. Success! That was my first intentional rage TK. What have I become!? :negative:

This post is to remind you to drink less in case you forgot you played csgo tonight.

How did you guys know that I was drunk? I jest. I 30 bombed the game before the one I played with you. I went from not so drunk to drunk very fast. I didn't remember playing that game. Apparently I also got a drop last night which I sold and...I peed on my wall. :smith: I should probably stop drinking so much.

Also speaking of mousechat, does anyone have any recommendations for a headset? I have a logitech G35 that is starting to fall apart and truthfully I've never really cared for.

I was thinking of getting a Kingston Hyper X Cloud II

Any thoughts?

Do not for what ever reason get the g930. This headset has had so many problems. Less then a yr brackets on either side broke. It turns off ever 15 min even when I'm in game. Soooo infuriating. Sometimes just wont work and I have to reset it.

So I guess what I'm looking for in a similar clip is a pro player spraying quarter+ of their clip at something where there is an actually 0% chance it will hit an enemy (and they know that).
1 whole AK mag from pro player. Being sprayed into a spot that he knows he will not kill anyone.

Getting poo poo on can help you get better. But ya know what helps even more. Playing with good players who help you make decisions tell you when/why to do something when watching kill cam. Take Spiros for example. I'm sure he hates me because I'm an idiot when it comes to this game. But I at least try to listen to him when he was coaching our team or is on our team. Even if he does make fun of me and hurts the feels :( But, he's taking the time to tell me why I'm an idot when he's not saying that I don't know what the gently caress I'm doing. Which is mostly true. I WAS WATCHING CONNECTOR GODDAMMIT!

On the other hand I feel really appreciative to good vibes Ixtlilton. I feel he wants me to get better. I feel bad when I play like poo poo but he for the most part puts up with it and says next time X. Learn smoke Y so we can do Z.

Point being. Getting poo poo on takes 10x longer to get better then practicing and being coached.

Whoa hey caeg, thanks for watching :P

Yeah I guess that's sort of my problem too, I come from an arena deathmatch background so sitting still is always hard for me, and I've MOSTLY snuffed out my instincts to buy a shotgun and rush the nearest choke point...

So what's ideal protocol when you run into another person and aren't holding an angle, let's say i'm CT and moving to check long and I turn the corner a bit and there's a T pushing. Do I just freeze and drop into a crouch, wait a split second then start firing? It always feels like poo poo when you get killed trying to wait the time to shoot well and they just fire off some headshots from the hip while moving.

I know bullets are wildly off center if you're moving at all, so yeah.

I think it is totally dependent on a couple of things. The biggest for me would be what weapon they have. If it's an awp and they are in/near pit. Take a pop shot and fall back and wait till you can get a better fight for your self by having them push your or by using utility. If the awps is right near you you're probably better off continuing to engage them and pushing them. If it's an Ak you're matched pretty evenly with an m4. So if you caught them off guard take the fight. If they see you and are father away fall back and hold angles, use utility, get your self into cross fire with someone on cat etc. But what the gently caress do I know! I'm a baddy at this game.

This is my hell right now. I've put my self into a bad spot by playing drunk. Soo I'm ranked Gn1. I know I can play better and have made it up to Gn3 playing sober. So now I just shake my head when every round I get by Cts at banana or some other weird poo poo. It does make it interesting.

the chances of missing genuine intel and strat calls even if they dont happen often is not worth it at all for the couple rounds you might have had enemy gunfire/steps completely muted by loud teammates

I think this is probably true. Perhaps you can ask them to be quite more than once. Or in a nicer manner then 'SHUT THE gently caress UP' ( Not saying you are saying that but it happens). If I don't have time its usually 'shh shh shh' real quick if I do have time. Or the 'Please be quite guys unless you see something.'

Also, you in the GooNova group? We usually have 3-5 man stacks every night.

I have now come to understand the power of a molly. I've got a set strat for entering Mirage A site with ct smoked. Molly under porch then work stairs/jungle with flash(s). Got 2 kills in 1 game from the molly. I don't know why but it's just clicked.

Also want to point out that ninja is loving dumb spot. I looked right at it to check it. Stared at it even. Got owned by a guy with a negev who had tucked him self in it and was looking away.

Flashes are important too, even if they don't lose vision, they will be forced to look away or back off the corner. Learn the corners people hold, and learn to pop-flash.

Also, yeah, crosshair placement.

edit: don't do what Novas do and flash, then stand around picking their nose before pushing. wtf novas. flash and move out in the same motion.

Can't move out. I flashed my self because I live in merica so I'm inflicted with NACS nade syndrome.

Me personally, aerial shots can be sweet but they have to be used in a very specific manner. At one point I remember watching a cbbl map take by Lumi I think. They showed and aerial of B long and site. Then you saw all the smokes being thrown to block off the site while they pushed plat. Once the that was over they switched back to 1st person.

What I really liked about it though. Was you got to see how intentional the setup was where everyone was and how they smoked off the site. But, that's my it should be used sparingly.
