Join the TLGO group and you can use the group chat to form MM groups. Only a dozen or so people in the group use it right now but your only other option is to add everyone to friends and figure out who is US and who is EU.

Nah, I feel one can get out of it ! A few more days I hope. But the matches when you start playing against Eagle and Eagle masters sure are tough to cope with >< That feeling of sucking SO MUCH...

Yea agreed. There are shit DMGs like me and then there are way better ones.
I often queue up with a friend who is way better than me (he is around supreme) and I bottom frag most of the time. Though.

I'll try to be in the TLGO chat more often, but im EU and I don't know how many people are here, or if it is a problem when playing with NA guys.

You need to win 10 games to get ranked so I guess if you always lose then yeah, it's possible lol

How do you play against awps? My last 5 games have been 3 players who are terrible with a rifle and just artificially boost their rank by using the awp, and I don't know how to play against it, except use my own awp. But awping is too easy, and boring for me..

Edit: I respect what the awp adds to higher levels, and the difficulty involved, but at MGE and below it's dumb.

Smokes are the best grenades in the game. Use them. They are your friend. Make sure when you are fighting against an awp with rifle you have a buddy. AWPs can only fire so fast. If you play it right only one of you would die and the other can trade the kill. Trading kills is huge.

The problem with that is both of us aren't good enough to 1 bomb him. 1v2 with an awp is really easy at this elo. I just need to learn how to use smokes I guess. So frustrating.

Especially because they suck enough to actually miss a shot, but then the other 2 just shoot you.

Love the new update! I really like that some options are now accessible from a menu instead of the console. But I have to say, I love it mostly because I've made 13.50$ out of the newly released case haha.

In general, you want to make very small movements against an awper. This is because you only need to just barely dodge his shot -- so the less movements, the better. Any movements in a straight line presents an easy target.

3 main ways to do this:
(1) When approaching to peek, you want to rapidly alternate the Q/E strafe and gradually creep up to him with that. What happens is you're flashing your shoulder at him and essentially baiting him to take a shot at a very small part of your body that's constantly weaving in and out of view. If he doesn't take the shot, you'll have a shot on a standing target in a second or two.

(2) Learn to time his shot and crouch for 1/4 to 1/2 a second. Many awpers will aim at the chest and a timely crouch is all you need to dodge. Then you have a full 1.5 seconds to burst him down before his next shot.

(3) Like #2, time his shots and then make a very slight strafing dodge. The further away you are from the awper, the less movement you need to do to dodge.


Also, google and youtube up cs:go flash videos on each map, and try to watch some scrims/pro matches on twitch. I still learn new flashes time to time, and you'd better believe if they're effective at the pro level, they're SUPER effective in pubs.

Edit: btw I almost never use awps, and I'm badge/eagle (keep getting promoted & demoted)
