I "smurf". I'm finding it hard to get higher ranked matches on my account, so I'm using a second account to find these matches, and hopefully rank up.why is "smurfing" a problem in CS ?
this rank k@k is a new thing, CS has always been a "mixed skill community". you watch the cam of the guy raping everyone to learn how its done.
the noobs hang around at the back and try pick off kills or you use them as a meat shield in a rush or camp. etc. etc.
ffs crying about "smuring" in CS.. really!? go protest about an education or something.

If you're playing on Dust 2 and are on terrorist side and everybody is awping on CT side then do this:I'm staying far away from the comps for now, casual is fun tho.
The later rounds seem to turn into an Awpfest which is quite annoying where ping uber alles
In casual anything is go, this is about competition and ranks used to determine match-making. You are always welcome to play on custom servers where 128 tick is 'mostly' the norm or get into the pickup communities where CSGO is real.
Good tips may be gained by watching Steel. Yes, he is a banned pro CSGO player which has moved on to Overwatch.

If you're playing on Dust 2 and are on terrorist side and everybody is awping on CT side then do this:
1. Buy a smoke, a flash and a P90.
2. Go into upper tunnels near B bomb site.
3. Throw a deep smoke into B site to block the AWPers sitting at the back of site.
4. Throw the flash into the smoke.
5. When it pops wait for the first volley of shots and push through the tunnel.
6. Push out into the site where the boxes are and spray all those AWPers at close range with the P90 (better to come out in numbers and have your mates check car).
7. Kill them all and make them rage.
The only things that can go wrong is you get hit as you push through that tunnel or they have enough riflers at medium range to be a problem. Usually though it'll just be AWPers and you'll clear the whole site on your own![]()
The goal is to get these super-star awpers angry. The P90 is essential for this. They regard it as a noob weapon. Getting killed over and over by it makes them so angryDude...I'd rather get awped than use a P90![]()
Trust me, try it. When half their team rage quits because they put 3 guys on B site with AWPs and nothing to deal with the rush it makes you feel all warm and gooey insideMore seriously, I just go for the pick...especially if I spawn on the edge of the T spawn site closest to B. You can get to the tunnel pretty much same time as any CT and then it's a 50-50.
before I watch any of those - why was he banned?
I don't read or watch vids about the game...I like watching competitions though which reminds me...ESL ONE New York is on in the next few days.
Integrity and Fair Play
26 JAN 2015 -
Recently, allegations of match fixing in the Cevo Season 5 match between iBUYPOWER and NetCodeGuides.com came to our attention. The details are in this DailyDot article: http://www.dailydot.com/esports/match-fixing-counter-strike-ibuypower-netcode-guides/
We can confirm, by investigating the historical activity of relevant accounts, that a substantial number of high valued items won from that match by Duc “cud” Pham were transferred ( via Derek “dboorn” Boorn ) to iBUYPOWER players and NetCodeGuides founder, Casey Foster.
All together, the information we have collected and received makes us uncomfortable continuing any involvement with these individuals. Therefore we will be directing our CS:GO event partners to not allow any of the following individuals’ participation in any capacity in Valve-sponsored events:
Duc “cud” Pham
Derek “dboorn” Boorn
Casey Foster
Sam “Dazed” Marine
Braxton “swag” Pierce
Keven “AZK” Larivière
Joshua “Steel” Nissan
Professional players, their managers, and teams’ organization staff, should under no circumstances gamble on CS:GO matches, associate with high volume CS:GO gamblers, or deliver information to others that might influence their CS:GO bets.
In 2014 we witnessed the explosive growth of CS:GO as a competitive eSport, and 2015 has already started strong. But as CS:GO grows, it’s important to consider the substantial impact an individual professional Counter-Strike player has on the health and stability of their sport. Performing before an audience of millions of fans, they are ambassadors for their game – the strength of professional Counter-Strike comes from the integrity of its players and teams.
On Aug. 21 last year, one of America’s top teams, iBUYPOWER, played what should have been an easy match against NetcodeGuides.com. But rather than stomping past the competition, they were trounced 16-4. The game, part of the CEVO Professional Season 5, was typified by lackadaisical play and strange behavior on iBUYPOWER’s part: going for knife kills in strange situations, laughing as they lost.
They attributed this to a combination of factors, including a timezone hangover from their time in Cologne for the ESL One Counter-Strike major, as well as a lack of practice on the map.
The next day, however, a young esports journalist provided the Daily Dot with screengrabs of a conversation he had with professional player Shahzeb “ShahZam” Khan before the game. In the messages, Khan declares the match was fixed and iBUYPOWER were going to deliberately lose.
...
Read Khan's full statement below:
“The day of this match I had placed a bet on iBUYPOWER. I brought up the bet while talking to Casey Foster, he then voice-called me on Steam Friends and told me to change my bet. He made it very clear the match was going to be thrown. I didn't want to get involved with any of it but I changed my bet, as I thought would be logical at the time while also sharing this information with a friend whom I assumed to have bet the same.
I was wrong for a few different reasons; however, I regret first and foremost not contacting league officials and telling them what was going to happen. I didn't have all the details and didn't know any specifics as I was not the one engineering any of this. Also, given my past immaturity at the time, I wasn't sure if anyone would believe me.
Once I found out my conversation with my so called friend was sent to Richard Lewis, I was ready to just tell him my entire story but I first consulted Casey Foster, who controlled my earnings for my partnership with Netcode Guides (a joint venture by him and then iBUYPOWER Team Captain, Sam “DaZeD” Marine), about it.
He advised this would be a huge blow to the North American competitive CS:GO scene and cause iBUYPOWER to lose their sponsor, asking me to not say anything at all. The NA scene was fragile at the time, and in my eyes I was between a rock and a very hard place with the partnership I had with Netcode Guides, as it was my sole source of income for playing the game I love.
So I denied everything, I stayed quiet, and at the end of the day I took the heat of the crosshairs when this first surfaced months back through an article very similar to this one. I know I wasn't the only person to have known, but I was definitely in a position to do what was right and come forward with this information and I didn't because I was scared. I'm sorry. I've never been involved with any type of match fixing and I never will be, neither would any of us at Cloud9.”
What I find frustrating as a new player is that there is sometime a big imbalance in skill levels, probably due to the smurfing.
It's not lekker to have 9 or 10 deaths to one or two kills, and the bots don't really provide any good practice as they do not behave like human players at all. I should probably start AWPing a bit more but I find I can't even sight the other person before I see the killcam of how they zoned in on my head. Dust2 isn't very noob friendly
I got to the top of the log in Nuke earlier on which was a nice change from the usual Dust2/Mirage cycle that seems to be so popular. I am struggling to juggle my tactics enough to not form a pattern; I find something that works and stick with it until the AWP's teach me a lesson, then I move on. Some people have ungodly reflexes though, even managing to keep me in their crosshairs through walls across the map :wtf:
Don't solo queue. That is one thing I can say. Rather get a team to play with. Worst is if you solo queue and no one make any calls. Sometimes making a call is the difference between winning and losing.I seem to be hovering around MG1/2 and you can definitely see when guys are smurfing as frustrating as it is (when they not on your team) it forces you to play better.
I find the biggest issue with the MG rank is that you get paired with anything from nova's to DMG in some cases.
So you have okes rushing when no person in their right mind would, then on the other side, guys with proper tactics. So it's always a mixed bag.
#soloqueue
Do some DM. The chaos is always going to force you to play better.Teamwork seems to be the order of the day, agreed. I still have to learn the lingo, though
I had a nice round last night, we played Overpass (my team as T) and one round got 4 or 5 kills as the last guy standing with the SSG. Their last guy picked off my last 10 health at their spawn point. Twas a close round. I was even accused of hax. I felt quite flattered
I really need to upskill with the AWP, maybe do a few rounds vs bots on Dust2 and learn the map and the angles and all that
