Vote kick capped 4 votes yes gtfo bb.

Probably a stack?
Maybe, was just weird. Why would you kick someone after they did that+were topfragging, I didnt even comment on how shite they were D:
Maybe they could sense my thoughts and were upset. I mean i did literally laugh out loud when the guy hears them defusing, walks through smoke pulls out knife in the guys face, gets shot in HIS face then goes "nice WH noob" - like wat. just wat? u pulled out knife in his face, you werent in smoke, like wat??
so I picked up this game last week and since I started competitive a few days ago seem to be solidly stuck in silver elite. I know this is a game where the #1 tip is don't suck and hit headshots, buuuuuuut I'm getting a bit frustrated trying to combat the meta of scrubville which seems to revolve around buying p90 and autosniper to exploit the fact that no one can use the assault rifles. some tips would be appreciated.
also can I reasonably expect to get some of the purple-letter skins from just playing or are all the cool ones in boxes? I've only gotten a couple boxes but supposedly the drop reset was and is usually today.

Play a lot of deathmatch and practice your ak/m4. Then carry your games and you'll be out of silver in no time.
You can get purples from playing but it is really really rare. I've seen some nice AWP pit vipers drop, but never to me

Learn smokes and find 1 area to work on every map and perfect it.

Ok, I bought the Rival. It's a downgrade from my beloved KTEC (served me 2 years T_T7) but it's supposed to be light and has optical sensor. Let's go
Perfectly happy for years with MX510/8 > (G9 -was not so good-) > G500 > G500s (second one). I tried some from razer (deathadder for example), the left click died in like 6 monthes each time... Rival looks nice, I might try it if my g500s breaks.
another scrub question, m4a4 or m4a1-s? I do way better with the latter because it obviously has less recoil, but does the former win out if you can compensate for recoil?

complete preference. Technically, the m4a1-s does 3 more damage than the m4a4 (which doesn't matter cause if you rely on 3 extra damage to win fights, you're doin it wrong) and has a tighter spray, but only has 3 clips of 20 bullets and the spread is quite minimal. Just use whatever you feel comfortable with. Sometimes, your preferences will change and you can just swap guns
M4A1-s : + silence, precision, - 20clip and 60total, hard against more than 1/2 enemies, can't preshoot or wallshoot. M4A4 : + bullets, clips, - less precise, still good though.
I'm having a hard time with a1. Depends on the day :-/ Wish I could change during the game depending on the kind of game going on xD
My choice goes to the scoped and silenced m4a1 from CS Beta 3 xD

Crosshair placement. Also, given that you're new, if you're somewhat serious you would probably benefit from lowering your mouse sensitivity.
You can watch matches or streams of better players to better understand movement, but a lot of that just comes from playing and knowing the maps.
Good crosshair placement can turn the game into just a matter of reaction time rather than aiming/coordination. Get a better grasp and feel of the game before you even consider to worry about things like flicking and spray control.
Also another thing to note is if you're dead and specing your teammates at a low rank, just count out loud and see how long the fights are lasting. While both players are haphazardly shooting and spraying you probably could of just lined up a headshot or just better aim at that point.
I thought I should post a notification to my content analysis here for breaking down each release update. What I basically do is go through the packed/unpacked files of each release and record the differences from each. For the past month or so Cyborgmatt and Wickedplayer have been teaching me the process of going through a patch. Many thanks to them both for getting me to this point. Matt use to do these breakdowns earlier this year but with all the extra content he does for Dota 2 now it is impossible for him to do any more content. I approached him to help out with the CS:GO one and here we are.

Hope you have big hands, the rival seems even bigger than the IME 3.0. Otherwise it's a very good mouse sensor wise, if you like the shape you're golden!

IME 3.0 is wayyyyyyy bigger than the rival.
Source: I own both
this is what I used
Only complaint I have with it is no side buttons but it didnt matter much
Haha nice. I was surprised to hear in his stream yesterday that he likes Starcraft (2) a lot and, while it doesn't come close to CS for him, it's his second most liked eSport. It's a shame he hasn't really done anything with Starcraft, he seems like a good content-producer/person to have around.
(Also, you made me re-watch that entire video just now - I didn't catch the reference the first time around when I watched it a couple hours ago. :p To anybody just looking for the reference, it's right at the end.)
