A smoke grenade got thrown on a molly and made my entire team crash while we were rushing B on D2. My computer had to be restarted and by the time I could launch my game I was already marked as abandoning. 24 hour ban zz

Holy crap, is everyone seeing this comeback by aL at Thor Open? Going from like 14-4 to 14-11 is highly impressive, never mind impressive, from this team!

The games have been pretty enjoyable. From what I've seen, NiP seem to be dominating, but I haven't watched a lot. The game I mentioned above with aL was pretty tense when aL started making a comeback, so that was pretty sweet to watch.

Ok.

Western Wolves has Waver? He's gonna be dangerous later on.
In E-Sport SM he was able to win when

1)He was the only member left on his team
2)The entire enemy team was alive
3)The bomb was down (He was Counter Terrorist)
4)Terrorist's had good positioning
5)One lost round would mean that his team would be eliminated from the finals

(See the VOD that I linked earlier)

Yeh, that was one of the coolest rounds I've seen in CSGO thus far. :D

Quick question, is Inferno a Terrorist-favored map?

Best moment ever in E-Sports if you ask me

The caster is doing a good job of solo-casting!

Use http://www.hltv.org to find streams.

Man, I'm having so much fun with CSGO right now. :D I just played my first ever tied game, and the game was so back and forth it's just ridiculous.

First we lost like 5 rounds in a row, before we sort of figured out how the other team was playing, and then we won like 8 out of the following 10 rounds. In the second half we started out really well, before collapsing completely because we had a really annoying angry raging nerd in our team, who started blaming everyone else for losing and began tk'ing. So we kicked him out of the game, and went on to kick ass again, mostly due to me clutching 2 rounds in a row (getting three kills in both of them, including one 1v3 situation where I defended awesomely with great grenade usage after the bomb was planted), and eventually it ended in a really close 15-15 result. No game since BW has given me such adrenaline kicks. :D

How is the matchmaking thing in CS:GO? Does it match you up with people on your skill level, like in other PuGs? If not, can anyone recommend a site to find PuGs, kind of like ESEA but free?

I think the matchmaking is pretty good, I've been slowing rising in rank and I feel like I'm playing fair games pretty much all the time. Some times it feels like I have easy opponents 2 or 3 matches in a row, but I'll usually get promoted afterward and face way harder games for a a while after that. I think if you get really good you'll have to look for gathers, but I don't have a clue about those, and I'm not very good either ^_^

Once you hit rank 16/17 (supreme master first class, global elite respectively) you get matched up against the same people if you queue one game after another normally. There's some pretty blatant cheaters up there that are pretty common to see, caV / Juke to name a few.. really lame to get matched up against these guys night after night. As for a free version of ESEA, the only place you will find a cheater-free place to play will always only be ESEA - its worth the money.

Yea, I'm currently only rank 13 and I don't feel like I'm getting matched up with cheaters or anything. Highest I've seen in a game was rank 14, "Legendary eagle", I feel like I'm a looooong way from being on the highest level though, so the difference between 13-16/17 must be quite big I think. At least relative to the differences between the lower ranks.
