That is the only way you go from the best to losing 16-1 in group play to a team you crush historically and to nonamers on a map people consider you good at. I expect a different NIP at the major. Not making excuses, but it was quite obvious.... To say they don't care is silly because if they wouldn't care they would just stop playing. I can just imagine that their mindset for training isn't that good. And somehow their mad aimers Friberg and Forest don't hit shots anymore. | ||

And now that NiP isn't there for me to fanboy bet on them any more, maybe I can make the rest of it back. iBP is gonna throw so hard so that they don't play fnatic. Same goes for Dig.

It's not that they aren't hitting their shots, it's that they do not have a dedicated awper. that titan vs nip game just now is the fundamental proof of why NiP lost. Look at the top teams now (Titan, Fnatic, etc). They all have dedicated awpers (and fliffy, forest does not count). The way the meta game is right now with the CZ still being a rifle is that awpers can completely dictate the flow of the game (its why iBP always beat C9, Skadoodle is a dedicated awper and can out awp sgares and semphis), and having rifles against an awper than can aggressively push you without much fear is a big problem. It's also why HR is coming back, as simple is now their dedicated awper (i would prefer to have markeloff go back to awping but he lost his confidence in it). You just can't play this game on the top tier without having an awp, the benefits are just too good to not take advantage of. If we do see NiP changes, it will be for an awper that they can find since they really need one (-fliffy, +schiender?) | ||

Still biased for that fnatic NiP thing. Also I heard schneider was pretty toxic, didn't he get kicked out of another team after fnatic? Rather have them force/train fifflaren/f0rest to be aggressive awper. Even the most recent game showed how powerful it is to have dedicated awpers. kennyS and KQLY single-handly taking out the entire team after NiP got like 3 entry kills. | ||

I can just imagine that their mindset for training isn't that good. And somehow their mad aimers Friberg and Forest don't hit shots anymore. They 'care', but it looks a lot worse than it really is. They didn't care enough to really fight out every last round against Titan because they knew they would probably lose anyways. Once they got down they gave up basically. I am not an NIP fan but it doesn't take one to see that the way they were playing was super puggy and not up to their own standards. Like I said, the real NIP will show up at the major. | ||

Scheider was a random name I threw out there for the sake of my argument. But you still need a good awper to trade with KennyS and KQLY at least for NiP cause if those guys are dead, then you have the better riflers (friberg + GTR + forest will beat x6 + apex + maniac). | ||

Anything for just regular blow ups? I seem to have problems with targets strafing back and forth. I like to hone my Gold Nova L33T AWP skills in deathmatch against knive-only bots on aim_map. If you want the exact setup, I have a script I can give you. Looks like this (I do this for 30 mins every day or before I play): (this is my first 1080p 60fps video, so awesome for CSGO [amongst other things] that this now exists on YouTube) | ||
