Predictions:

Is there a play/time schedule of when games will be streamed? I want to start watching professional teams play but no idea where to start. Also, which are the more popular teams out of those groups? I think fnatic is one but idk. The only csgo streams I've watched have been of them and Team Dynamic And is there any American teams in those groups?
The games will start next Thursday at 12:00 GMT (+00:00) ()
I will make a LR thread for Katowice btw, most info should be in there (I'll post it once the caster lineup is announced)
The most popular team is no doubt NiP (Ninjas in Pyjamas), they dominated early CSGO, Titan is arguably the best team in the world currently. fnatic won the first CSGO major (DH Winter) over NiP.
complexity and iBUYPOWER are the best American teams there are. coL got 3rd/4th at DH Winter, and iBUYPOWER recently beat Titan in a grand final. Vox Eminor is the best SEA team.

If anyone wants to play competitive with a 4 star nova, let me know. Willing to try and give tips (if you want them...) and feedback too for improving my play. Feel free to add me (Au Pied de Cochon)

I'm cheering for Fnatic in the EMS one! I really like them in both CS and DotA.

So close. Wouldn't have been opposed to some overtime! :D

Twitch refused to work after ~10 rounds Fnatic - Titan on Inferno. I take it that I should watch the VOD

I've played cs off and on since 1.3.
Really disappointed with how prevalent hacking has become. I typically only play with 1-2 friends and there is at least 1 wallhacker per map. I haven't played enough to grind out whatever rank I would probably end up at but I'm double AK at the moment and it is kind of disheartening to see a hacker pretty much every single map.

CS:GO is awesome Do any Koreans play CS:GO? Like if you go to a PC Bang there is it even installed?
Crossfire and some other fps are much more popular in asia iirc

There aren't that many hackers in double ak range. Odds are you're just matching against smurfs and/or you attribute a higher skill level or better team coordination to hacks.

There are barely any hackers down here in Nova 3
Had one blatant one who was boosting idiots though.
Being shit has its benefits sometimes.

Just played matchmaking with my freind we are both nova 2 and fluctuate from there to ak. Just got matched into 4 badges with our highest guy a 3 star or something. I just wanna cry sorry the blog.

I started playing placements with one of my alts today. First game, always against silvers and those not good enough to be silver. 3 people from my team abandon, 2 from my team before I even spawn the first time in warmup, 1 from them. Throughout the game I get called a hacker and 1 more from my team and 2 more from them abandon. Silvers are dumb.
Next game dude tells me to stop buying a mac and be a team player while I'm carrying the team and he's got no kills. Silvers still dumb. Silver Elite here, can confirm we are all very dumb. Still having fun, and trying to become less dumb though.Your mac10 story reminds me of some guy who said "I only use the mac 10" in one of my games, and every round bought Mac 10, and armor. No nades. Proceeded to drop 35 kills over 20~ rounds. Positioning is so hard in CS. I just walk into stupid places everytime, and get insta domed because of it. So silly
Ahhhh, MAC10. Had so much fun with that ^^ http://noir.video.free.fr/COLLECTORMAC10.avi (~2004 ? god was my crosshair positioning bad..) [/slightlyofftopic]
Currently ak2 and feeling I'm so bad I don't belong in here... I can barely manage to break even in score. Still not knowing the maps well enough and my aim is so bad. Still good experiences in matchmaking.
I'm a bit sad though, I've been hanging in the TL:GO group chat for a few days here and there, nobody was ever there.

Ever since that patch since the automatic pistol came out, my game has been off. I'm not sure if it is psychological or what, but I feel like my aim has gone to shit. Granted they did fuck up cross hairs with that patch and I have no idea what I was using before, I thought I would get used to my new configuration by now. Guess not =\
Trying to remember if I used crosshairdot or not back then, kinda feel like I've been missing shots because that dot is in my way now.
update: after i took away my dot, and shrunk my crosshairgap slightly, my aim is more true now. must play more to find out.

Looks like the former Astana Dragons squad will go by Hellraisers for Katowice.
Also I want a mouz sticker NOW.

That article is useless. It doesn't give any actual details about the map :\ I'd rather they said nothing until the release.
|
Well it does mention that there isn't a typical "middle" and map rotation will be harder, which kind of doesn't sound great to me...
