I don't really care. It's fairly obvious IBP was going to take it but I'm not going to risk higher quality items to get a reasonable return. I got a bunch of shit items from the NiP vs VP game so I decided why not just throw it on C9 and hope something happens.
Meh. At the end of the day it's just a wash.
Probably gonna bet big on Mouz for the caseking of the hill tournament. Dignitas is overrated with the exception of like one/two of their players and probably Fetish and mouz looks pretty solid. Hopefully they can pull off the "upset."
Well when it comes to Cevo I always give IBP the edge, They just seem to play their best in that setting. If it was on lan I would expect C9 to be the best NA team. IBP right now is the best online team for sure.

just a little stint about tactics. So you get the first pick but why is your entire team camping b tuns? you're losing map control everywhere else and you're not taking advantage of that first pick... then i see that teammates died cause they just stood in the choke while you and the rest were doing nothing (silver level baiting skills). If you're going to hit the choke like that, everyone should be pushing out especially since there only should be 1 more on site (assuming 2-1-2 split for CTs that pistol round)
I agree, obviously there's no reason not to push right into B and get the bomb down when you're lucky enough to get a pick like that. This was Gold Nova 2 level matchmaking (competitive) but solo queue. I was yelling at my teammates to push push push during that sped-up part but they wouldn't... I was trying to push myself but they blocked. Such is the way of low-level solo queue matchmaking.
if I were you, I would have just charged in myself after getting that first entry frag, cause it then forces your teammates to follow you. Yea, you're going to have to bait yourself, but hey, at least you're getting somewhere with the objectives. I do that style of play alot on my smurf account so I can get my teammates to actually do something since I know i can just out aim the entire other team

Allusports hype train is ready to go!
Fun fact, Cadian was blazing a joint during the CSGO legends event yesterday (you could hear him take big breaths during the cast and at the end of the event, he looked really high on camera and was giggling alot)
Does this ESEA thing you guys sometimes mention have another updaterate and cmdrate setting? And do they have servers in Europe so I can play there with an ok ping.

He's a really cool dude, I played with him on ESEA and he was really patient and nice. It's not mutually exclusive with smoking pot, just throwing that out there, he streams pretty often and deserves viewers imo! I found the casting pretty okay, even though Availer was talking a LOT especially during breaks and his play by play wasn't too great in my opinion. Love thorin as always, his talk with TaZ at the end was pretty funny.
And yeah Ota Solgryn ESEA provides you with 128 tick servers when you pay for premium, I played for a week with a free pass and I've got to say it was fucking great. Someone here said he had had problems with the admins and whatnot though, but I think it's the only good way to play pugs (MM sucks and I heard lots of bad things about faceit ).

Yeah makes perfect sense. I looked at it again, it was a bit unfortunate because of the double nade which caused me to look and jump away twice (otherwise I'm pretty sure I would have pushed myself immediately) and then there's others in the tunnel blocking and not really pushing. Good point/idea with the do-it-yourself to force others in solo queue though, I could've squeezed through for THE GREATER GOOD haha!
Gonna go Fnatic > Titan (still say roster swap isn't going to do anything, and this game, while obviously first games are not any indication, should definitely show us). Fnatic though are just stupidly solid with fantastic aimers, great straights, a solid lineup, plus devilwalk + pronax. Pretty sure Titan will have nothing to show us on Inferno.
Also Apex is a god but he's only shown up on one tournament and I think it was because of Happy/rest of LDLC that he really was able to do what he did. KQLY is also really good, but against JW/olofmeister (more olofmeister) as well as Krimz and Flusha....Fnatic just have way more firepower.
HR > VP. Not enough quality items to bet on VP given their streakiness. HR did well versus Na'Vi and showed that they could be scary. It's an aim duel between the two teams and HR might be able to take it if the right players show up. But then again, same with VP. I hope HR takes it though, obviously.
Hey everyone, the French shuffle has begun and all the French teams are being swapped and put into different lineups right in time for FACEIT. BST (GMX, sf, ScreaM, uzzzii and fxy0) Mercenary (NBK, shox, KIOSHIMA, happy and SmithZz). New Titan Lineup (Ex6tenz, kennyS, Apex, KQLY and Maniac)

That seems like such a random change to me for dust.

^ Maybe now kotreb can buy in a few more rounds hue.
Good change tho, didnt really do much but fuck everybody over.
-People who TK by accident screw themselves and the rest of their team -People who TK on purpose to be dicks dont give a fuck anyway -People who TK on purpose because people ARE dicks have to suffer the consequences. (One example being a griefer w/ bomb or blocking inferno spawn etc)
Buuuut....Has there been a banwave yet? Game is fucking unplayable right now ive given up on it lol.
