yeah pretty much i agree; there is no "elo hell" in csgo... if you're good, you can carry so easily.

That said, many players are inconsistent as fuck and that's why they think they're better than they really are... just because you play pro in one match and get dunked in another doesn't mean you're a pro level player.

Agreed. There is no ELO hell in csgo. People at lower ranks literally do not shoot back and if you're good enough you'll rank up very easily to where you deserve to be, regardless of if you have idiots for teammates or not.

wooooooo silver elite master

should start ranking up more quickly once I hit nova


why would you rank up faster if you hit a higher level? if you are still in silver you wont make it to gold nova 2/3 because you arent good at this game right now. gl though


ELO hell level. It's there and around the AK levels in CSGO, I think.


there is no elo hell in csgo. if you are good enough you can win easily by yourself in those ranks. and if you only meet idiots as teammates you play with some ppl from higher ranks and you lvl up pretty fast.


Did you just suggest getting boosted to get out of something you say doesn't exist? You pretty much confirmed it does exist.

There is no such thing as elo hell in csgo.
However, there is an artificial wall from DMG to eagle. You need a really long win-streak (10+ from what I experienced), compared to EM -> LEM, or AK -> DMG where it is something like 3-4 wins.

I am now LEM, and the people im playing against are getting fucking good, way too good for me. But im usually queuing with a friend who is supreme and way better than me. I have a lot of bad games, with the occasional good ones. But we get a lot of wins simply by playing smart and locking down sites by holding proper crossfires/angles and stuff.

I keep switching up from DMG to eagle sometimes within 5-7 matches including wins and losses. Right now I got promoted to eagle after winning like 3 games and losing 3 games after I had gotten demoted.

Matched against a premade of 3 Nova 1s, then a mix of 5 Silver 3s-Elite while my team had 3 unranked guys both times.

oh well, road to #Silver1 begins here

Thats pretty much the baseline for unranked guys anyway so its not really that bad. When you finish your promos most people tend to end up around there, my friend is the highest i know of being nova 3 after his 10 wins, i was nova 2. If you cant beat people at that rank you're better off playing against them as practice anyway.

Unless your a smurf, pretty sure if you facesmash people at DMG level for 10 games you'll be AK+

Yep, i was facing AKs by the end of my promotion games and ended Nova 3. To be honest i don't give a crap about the rank,. I just care about playing and improving myself. The "elo hell" is a stupid thing to say. Just improve.

Eagle Wall was a bitch. But now I'm going even (6-5 overall, I think, and with mostly positive K:D too!) against LE/LEM/Supremes. Occasionally a GE pops in to fuck my day up though.

You figured out that Mist halfway through the game? Wow. In my game my solo queued team:

Tried rushing to a bombsite and teamkilled each other when they appeared at opposite ends of the same bombsite at the same time.

Tried exploring the map and shot each other when an unexpected turn placed them face to face.

Get shot by the other team at unexpected places.

Bomb got dropped down a hole and reappeared somwhere.

Bomb got dropped, spent 1 minute walking silently looking for it to no avail. We never found it. The minimap does NOT help!

Bomb got dropped near a car, 1v1, T team never found it either.

Tried to go from bombsite A to bombsite B, never found bombsite B.

Tried to flank the last guy on the enemy team, ended p going round in circles forever, never leaving the same spot.

We planted at A and a CT went flying down splattering on top of the bomb from god knows where.

Reminded me of that video:

Funny stuff.


lol This guy is a comedic genius. The most perfect deadpan delivery.

But yeah I removed overgrowth after I tried to shoot through the gaps in the large rusty tanks in the bomsite. He comes up with legitamte complaints, I'm just describing what happens when a map no one knows with 5 overlapping levels that wrap around each other like a nightmare meet.

Games are never over until they are over. Losing 0-8 as T on D2, end the half at 7-8. Win 16-9. Ezpz.

When I was a kid on 1.6 they always called me a hacker. Now I'm a little bit bad and slow and overweight, but I always feel good when people call me a hacker, even when it's over some really randy shots.

Hey Yall. Posting this in multiple places. I want that feedback.

Sorry for the big delay this week; I had some problems lol. Basically I had all the images/gifs/videos saved and ready to be published from my "Work In Progress" hard drive. Go to bed, and wake up Thursday to start the post. But then the hard drive was dead . I could've rushed through and redid it again really fast; It would've been very sloppy though. So I took extra time to redesign the format and present it in a better way with changing up some of the layouts. I like the format I came up with; not really sure what I could change to make it better. But that is where you come in; I want your feed back to see what I should changed about the format

---->Insert Feedback Here

Personally, there are a couple sections I noticed after posting it, that should be edited in the future.

1) Past viewers might notice that I took the translation strings out. I have most of the string completed for this week but honestly it was just way too much to include it with all this other information. I also noticed how some viewers didn't view that part that part at all. I will most likely post that section somewhere different if anybody wanted to see the different translation strings that are changed/added each week
2) I have to fix the resolution for future videos. I made the height way to high, and it is uneven.
3) I like to very in depth and detailed of what was changed or being worked on. That may not be everybody's flavor and this may be way to much information for them.

---I will add more to this as I think of them

Warning My posts contain tons of images, gifs, videos, etc. Be prepared for your internet browser to handle the power.

Damn the new through doors is really strong on D2.

Yesterday saw a match of a guy doing OS from T spawn with a scout. Killed 1 people each round their was no smoke. Guy had insane reflexes. Probably a smurf.

Hey ! I got overwatch now (well.. i don't but my wife does :p). That's fun. Saw a guy doing headshot to everyone while looking at the ground constant bunnyhopping. That was fun to watch.

It amaze me how many non-hackers overwatch you get. Like... there's guy that just plenty good and other ... you don't even know why they were reported.

Actually need to go and practice wallbanging common spots from CT side, i can hit people 4/5 times from T when they try and go B from spawn. Its good fun. CT knowledge would be good.
