ESportal is pretty cool like that! After you reach a decent elo you're consistently matched against top players on the site, and since almost every scandi pro seems to prefer esportal to faceit, you're pretty likely to run into them. Met and beat xizt early last year, and I would have played JW if the match didn't get cancelled in warmup

The dream is to play against f0rest or friberg, then I've met every player from the best NiP lineup

I guess krimz would be cool too, but he exclusively plays in a stack that's basically a mix team with a 90%+ win ratio, so...

watched the faze vs spirit semi in a crowded theatre, and the atmosphere was insane during dust2 overtime

hell of a match

Finale was cool too, nice to see Rain make such an impact- really happy for him and karrigan, well deserved after all those years chasing it

When I get that figured out I'll be ready to waste an entire afternoon doing placement matches and I bet it will be very stupid and fun. I can't wait.

Unless you win two placement matches in a day, in which case you get to enjoy 24 hours competitive cooldown before you get to play again :downs:

Thats loving CS right there. None of that pansy rear end dick tugging smile for the camera bullshit. Men puke, men poop on the LAN, men deliver their new born baby on the stage. loving hard core dick in the rear end clutch headshot gently caress it chuck it game time poo poo. Take it to the twitch chat. Dicks get shoved in places you don’t even remember. We win together we celebrate together. Counter-Strike is back baby.

Considering selling my knife for the value of at least seven bike parts, afeared that the prices will suddenly plummet after this massive cs2-hype climb

One one hand I could sell my knife today and buy a new computer tomorrow, on the other hand I wouldn't be able to do sick knife tricks the next time I play cs, it's a tough choice

I've only been playing with bots because I'm using a kinesis advantage keyboard and a kensington trackball mouse. Trying to play humans with that would be laughable.

Oh there are definitely worse ways to play, even using regular gear

apparently all you need now is an mm rank, and invite should come along within 24h

I guess I'll play my first game of cs since... november?

cs2 has autoexec, so you can still have jumpthrow and crouchjump binds etc

I'm not familiar with those things. Is there a benefit to jumping while throwing, or to crouching while jumping?

Crouchjump bind is very situational and not necessary- just sometimes helps for doing some of the trickier jumps, but a jumpthrow bind is totally a requirement if you want to consistently land long range smoke grenades

PirateBob posted:

My question about why use smoke at long range wasn't answered, so I'll try again.

So, my noob understanding of smoke is that it increases the win chance of your team by blocking off some sniping spots/shooting corridors for the other team, and even blocks off the use of some routes, because the person running through smoke is at disadvantage when coming out of it, they'll be spotted slightly before they can spot the enemies on the other side?

Also using jumpthrows, you can throw effective smokes without exposing yourself. The simplest way to smoke off something is to literally look at it and just left click your grenade at the spot, but that also puts you in harms way. If you can, for instance, smoke off CT on mirage from T-spawn, you're maximizing your utility while minimizing risk

UnknownMercenary posted:

The solution is to five stack with goons and still lose close games because we all can't stop doing dumb poo poo.

I think there's probably a lot of cheating in mm, considering how many faceit level 3's are suddenly cs2 talents that carry games vs 10's, but I'll say this for premier, I've been having a lot more close games than I feel like both faceit and mm offered in csgo, so something sure seems to be working wrt premier ranks, in my completely anecdotal experience

but it's just a matter of time until one of my friends have a valve-related meltdown and we go back to playing exclusively on esportal or faceit

Servers are absolutely buggered after the last update. Sucks that the phrase has lost all meaning due to memes but Premier is "literally unplayable". I'm on 5-20 ping and getting these full network lockups every time I'm about to see an enemy.

Unfortunate. I uust played several games on the scandi servers and it was completely fine

also I'm kind of starting to dig ancient, after being forced to have a 4 map pool due to premier

I shouldn't complain about freelo but geez, matchmaking putting our mostly purple fullstack against 5 solo queuers, with their highest at 12k rating, is not a great experience for the opposing team
