Newcomers, be sure to join the TL:GO steam group and don't hesitate to add me. I don't mind playing with newcomers in comp or casual if you want to learn some ins and outs of the game. I'm only Master Guardian 2 but I've played since 1.4 original CS, years of CS:S, and almost a year of GO and I'm starting to be consistently effective in my games aka not get carried as often.

See ya'll in game!

How does the drop system work in this game? Is it closer to Dota2 or TF2

Is there a TL.net for CS? Ex 1.6 CAL-M+ player here, just getting into GO. Since I'm seeing so much new stuff at Dreamhack (p250 saves? buying scout after winning pistol round? Incendiary grenades?), I'd like to see if there's any guides for returning competitive players.

Scout is cheaper now, so its actually viable antieco weapon

One more inspired to buy go :p. Haven't played in 5ish years, I have a question about go: is mm work it or just join servers? I tried mm once last night (casual) and I got into a server with. Bots. Does it eventually fill up?

And at what level to recommend joining comp games? Consistent sprays ect, I'm assuming the comp mode is 5v5 and not 15v15 ect.

Also, I understand most of what goes on in comp (watched several maps this weekend). Is there somewhere with all the info on $ earned/ basic walkroighs of maps? Biggest thing I find is I only know dust 2 from when I used to play long ago and it was only map on servers I had good ping to (56k dial up days :D)

Agreed. I actually picked 3 guys off 2nd round after winning pistol round CT side using a scout. They did a suicide run down mid and it was too easy. Scout packs way more punch than what I'm used to in Source.

p250 is the strongest eco gun in the game

p250 has good armor penetration and it's cheap. VG starting doing armor+p250 eco rounds, then full eco if that fails. It's very good against armor+sub buys. Scouts were bought by NiP at the end of Train because they were fucked and they knew it. Incendiaries are good against no armor to prevent rushes, and can be useful for area control (molly the bomb, for example), but in general, buy is nade+smoke+2xflash

Man what the fuck. I got a p250 with a foil sticker (not sure if this is standard) from a dreamhack souvenir from the final game, that HAS to be worth more than 2 USD... right?

I mean, it's from the final and all...

Ugh MM is so dumb some times. I just played a game on cache that ended 16-14 and the enemy team had a legendary eagle, 2 ak's, 2 unranked. My team had me, DMG, 3 gold 3 and 1 gold 2. WTF? Why am I playing with such low rankings. Worst part is my score was pretty much tied with the legendary eagle and I could have carried my team if the dumb fucks would stop smoking bomb sites AFTER we had taken them as T.

Well, sometimes MM does that, it paired you with them because the AKs had unranked friends, and the MM was trying to figure out where the unranked players should be at.
