CSGO Sticky thread

[Genisys]

Ok, so the compeditive match last night wasn't too bad. First one I struggled to get going, but the second one was a little better. My aim was hopeless however, and my spray attempts were dismal to say th least. I should have played better.

Pitbull - I see you deranked after the second comp. I see you guys however won the 3rd one (after I left). You are very good though. Won't take you too long to rank up.

Fulcrum29 - that was impressive. I want to play like you one day. You should be ranked way higher than you are ranked.

Urban - not too bad for a first time playing CS:GO. Don't worry, GN1'S and GN2'S are easy to play against. MG1'S and the like is another step up from there, and gets very difficult. Just keep playing though, the game will put you up against silvers, novas, master guardians and the like till it has determined what your rank should be. It gets very interesting.

All that being said, thanks for the two games guys, it was actually rather awesome. Next time I'll hopefully play better, and not miss all my shots.

Thanks bud. Not sure what the rankings etc are, I'll do a bit of research today.

Overall was good fun though, think I'll have to do some more today

Friday evenings are when the kiddies log in to play, so be prepared to deal with squeakers

Yea I was playing a casual game yesterday that was non-stop chatter. Almost had me checking if I had a CB radio plugged in somewhere.

 

[Pitbull]

I had such a *** couple of games yesterday. I think I need to drink a bit today before I play

 

[poffle]

Wondering would you guys deal with a 150-180ms dude on your team? I'm not ranked yet but I love comps... Haven't played in eons but I can hold my own

Yea, as long as there is no packet loss that ping isn't too bad. Some people actually awp better at 100+ ping for some reason

 

[poffle]

lol. alright, well i'll jump on tonight and do a few tests... usually its pretty stable with no PL, mainly just a 150-180 ping... let me see how it goes.

It just sucks, it doesnt connect me to SA servers through "Find a game", always to asia, so i try the custom servers with no people.. anyway lets see what happens.

But we get lots of Mauritius gamers in our games... weird

Nah, used to be a good player. Nowadays I am average at best. It has been a long time since I played more pro orientated, plus I’m getting old (ahem, still early thirties though). There is simply not enough time to train anymore. However, I did not play at my best last night, had to put work aside which was on my mind and had been distracted here and there. My last match was atrocious, but I played one too many and the lag/rubber banding got to me.

I invited a player named Zazzzzzzz (or something like that), he is on average a better player than I am and my regular queue buddy. We are planning on having a LAN somewhere this month where we may queue again with you guys. Plus, we may consider introducing you guys to a proper locally hosted 128 tick server, then there are no excuses.

You guys should create a Discord with an CSGO channel so that we may hop in an out to check on who is playing where and when. I have one, but it is closed to the public until the community goes online.

E-League Valve CS:GO Major Stickers and Graffitti Released In Update

The popular CS:GO weapon stickers for the E-League Valve Major have been released.

The $1 million event starts on January 22nd as 16 of the best teams in the world converge on Atlanta to fight in one of the biggest tournaments of the year.

Just qualifying for the major is seen as lucrative for players and organisations, with special in-game weapon stickers released for purchase, and the proceeds being split between the teams and Valve.

For the first time, you can also get team graffiti that is sprayable during a round.

The stickers and graffitti came as part of a wider CS:GO update, that includes the ability for tournament organisers to delay the “No Steam Logon” error from appearing until the end of a round.

[AUDIO]

– Changed default weapon near/far crossfade max distance so that a slight perceived volume bump doesn’t happen at crossfade junctions.

I reckon 2 beers gets you mellow enough not to stress, any more and you're just gonna confirm how alcohol negatively affects your reflexes.

Do people often just keep games open forever because I just encountered a person with more than double the previous most hours played I've seen.

Some do. I just close it once I'm done. It uses CPU cycles and RAM that I have a better use for.
