They need to bring back long range spots on maps, it works both way gives ct a bigger range of tactics (offensive positioning) and terro can try to pick up CT one by one before entering if CT use daring tactics. | ||

It's mostly about them wanting you to play the game that has more further income possibilities. (GO's micro transactions earn them fuckloads) | ||

Maybe everything changed since I last played 1.6, but isn't de_train one of the most imbalanced maps that's still played competitively? Like 10-5 CT:T scores on Train for T's were considered pretty decent the last time I played.. Even the last pro match I watched had T's on train just getting shit on over and over again. Personally always found Nuke to be my most favourite map to play T-side, even in spite of the difficulty. I always liked the subtle variances T-side strats have on that map, and definitely found it easier to play T than other maps like train, prodigy, cbble, or aztec (lulz easiest 15-0) | ||

VG vs NiP is hard to call, ScreaM had lots of off games and forest and GTR also didn't perform well so far. But I still gonna pick VG because of shox, can't for the matches though. Don't forget about the All Stars match tomorrow too! | ||

Doesn't matter if one side is too CT favored, the better team will win more T rounds. Unless the map is almost 15-0 100%. Look at NIP on train yesterday, for example. They started T and bagged 6 rounds np, then proceed to win 10 0 or 10 1 at CT, this was on quarters IIRC | ||

Its not like every match goes to 30 rounds. | ||
