CSGO Sticky thread

I am a CSGO veteran, I love this game, been playing it for six years.
And since last week I have decided to mute everybody on my team.
I am just tired of these back seat drivers, outrage squads and self appointed "alpha males".
I feel they interrupt the flow of my game with their constant micro management.
Since I started this I enjoy the game much more, its less stressful and just more fun.

I played a game with members of our teams and we had a guy on the team that was moaning about no support from the others. He wasn't being as toxic as he can be - I know him well - but they explained that even asking why no one was supporting him affected the game play. He kept pushing uppers and kept dying. He was told to sit site but thought he knew better. The people that muted him played a lot better once they did. He was then called aside and "given a talking to". They have rules that negative talk during a game is not allowed. Before I would have said people are a bit sensitive - but after last night I agree. Constructive information is what they want. Being told that you kept blocking them because you were looking for the sniper, is kinda annoying. Especially when you get killed because he tells you to move. And then he complains that he didn't see the guy. So I will be muting certain people in future.

The Model O- is and the reviews are looking good. Glad that I have waited, but I am ordering in January. Just want to see what is new then and where the revisioning will be with the Glorious models. I see some people are still complaining about poorly build units which may have been O batches 1-3.

According to the RJN review, the O- seems to have no noticeable build quality issues.

The O- looks too small, I can sense the hand cramps.

The thing about casual competitive is that there is no real leadership structure. Nobody is being compensated other than being rewarded with a skill group. It is mostly a buddy system. I am ignoring the coaches, those only league experiences are a CSGO lobby.

In semi-competitive and pro-competitive games, you have a hierarchy, the leadership and role structure are accepted. Yes, these players still do have their quarrels, but they will be accountable when going against the team policy.

Casual players who are playing with semi and pro players, they will get a heart attack, when they don’t understand why the game is changed and why these players behave like they are playing a whole other game.

To get through the toxicity, it is best to go FACEIT and hook up with the Souzern Lions and then grind through the divisions. Hard knocks and all that.

I am worn out, CSGO matchmaking,

Wins: 811

Ties: 151

Losses: 749

Skill group: 16

done. I don't how people with 1000+ games are surviving the strain.

Time to go into game management :thumbsup:

I have joined them. On the first game, when our team members heard two of us were nova 1s, they freaked out. Said only MG and up should play there. Then called the game off due to lag. That was my only experience with Faceit lol

I watched the most exciting games in CSGO yesterday at Comic Con Africa. White Rabbit Gaming and Sinister5. First game, WRG were down 3/12 at half time. They went on to win the game. Mango and Doru are amazing! Dyvo and MisteM carried Sin5. The other two games were taken by Sinister5 but it was a tight battle. Excitement - nailbiting stuff.

Today Sinister5 faces Big5 at 10. Looking forward to this game.

Its hardly any better (or at least it wasn't any better last time I played before canceling my subscription), its just as toxic as MM if not worse. Sadly the problem isn't the game, its the people. South Africans are toxic in general, no way of avoiding that toxicity. I gave up playing CS, I got tired of getting the same bullshit "you are trash", "You are hacking", "Nice hacks" or "You were boosted" when I'm having an off game, its not worth my time to play a game in which there always has to be someone who thinks its funny to tell others they are "trash". I miss CSGO, but fuck the toxic player base.

Gaming toxicity is an epidemic in general. In SA it is perhaps concentrated. In more populated places the online players do seem a bit more courteous.

I used to play The Division 2 24/7 and whenever you group up in public you experience this at one time or the other. It is venomous, the reason why people want to be in clans, groups or other closed communities because they need association. It isn't limited to SA.

I am sure there are some Rust or similar type game players here who have experienced this on a day-to-day basis.

Generally, I am okay with it, but there are one too many preachers online. In CSGO you have those IGLs who can't practise what they preach and then there are those who blame their own shortcomings on others.

CSGO pros call out ESEA and DreamHack over alleged cheaters - Dexerto

A clip gone viral has resparked a conversation about cheating.

CSGO pros call out ESEA and DreamHack over alleged cheaters
Click to expand...
During an online qualifier match for the DreamHack Rotterdam event, a player named 'holmyz' for Pharsyde hit a ridiculous running headshot on an enemy covered by smoke. While the kill itself is questionable, it has also raised conversation about whether he should be allowed to play, given his banned status on another platform.

...

On FACEIT, both holmyz and his teammate mauw1 have been banned for cheating, but they have not been banned on ESEA, which is the anti-cheat being used for these DreamHack qualifiers. Holymz has been linked to cheating in the past, when pro player Kristian ‘akEz’ Kornbakk provided an alleged recording of holmyz admitting to purchasing and using cheats:

“I haven’t played legit in like two weeks. I been playing these **** tournaments and ****ing won but someone is trying to expose me and they need to look demos etc, they wont find any cheat, but other things they might expose, its not good, but I think it will be fine.”

After the forfeit by RADNICKI, Pharsyde have moved on to the closed qualifiers to face GamerLegion, which features CS:GO legend Dennis ‘dennis’ Edman, who has sounded off about this team in the past.

/Cough

It is online, let this team compete at a LAN.

What else can you expect from a player with the name 'holmyz'.

Rust is a whole other level of rage and toxicity. Push to talk also makes it worse. One of the reasons I stopped played on SA servers is the amount of kids spewing insults every 30 seconds.
 
If the toxicity offends you, just disable voip and text messages and play the game.

I also get annoyed at times, but to stop playing the game because of people’s words? No

In CS terms when you do that you are essentially the griefer, in competitive mode. I have done it many a time, it is hilarious how people explode when you cut comms.

People are very brave over an internet connection, at LANs even the +40 year-olds pitch up with their moms to fight their real-life battles.
 
Nah, it’s usually only one or two in a combo so you mute those and play with this rest. Ezpz
