Since when do you follow GO? Mouz is nothing but a slim shade of its 1.6 form, just like all the old german teams 
Even though Mouz sometimes is capable of pulling out amazing rounds, they mostly manage to lose horribly.
EDIT: Also, C9 seems very good (for an NA team  ). Wish I could spray with the AK like shroud. Dont know why they praise Get_Rights spraycontrol when this beast of spray is out there.

It's interesting how the fans/subscribers of twitch channels behave like religious sects... Give money, receive fake love from internet personality, feel good about yourself, give money again... wtf is wrong with people. To be fair, what motivates people to donate to Twitch streams is probably similar to the social conventions that make things like the Humble Bundle and free-to-play Dota 2 possible. I understand the business model, but the fact that it works is what makes me sad. Intense fanboyism is all fun and games until people ruin themselves doing it. I remember watching Summit's stream and some guy donated $50 putting his total well above $4000 and he said "hey Summit I'm really sorry but this is going to be my last donation for a while, I'm having some financial troubles." Gee I sure wonder why. While I can agree for people who are struggling for cash donating is silly, in general I don't see a problem with it and it doesn't make me sad that it works. It's like anything else entertainment wise, if you enjoy it enough that you feel it's worth paying to support them then whatever. I also do think most of the people who get donations (like summit) really do appreciate it as they know if it weren't for that, they wouldn't be able to stream full time. I don't think they take it for granted (well most, I imagine some do). It's no different then paying for a video game, movie, etc. Of course I will never donate, but I also have better things I need to spend my money on and maybe if I were some super rich guy I might, but I am far from rich .
No you didn't understand my concern, I have no problem with donating money to sources of entertainment that I enjoy, I've donated money to TL with the TL+ thing or whatever for a year, I might buy it again (though I'd rather hold out and buy cool swag at some point). But I have a problem in that some people get suckered into it in a way that's akin to addiction or religious sects.
There are people who give tens of thousands of dollars to streamers because they want to be friends with the streamer and it's the only way they know to get "respected" by others. There is such a thing as "donation wars" now where 2 or more donators will donate more and more just to have the highest donation on that day or that month. You just watch the chat and see kappas and "sub hype". I dunno, I think there's part of the whole concept that's toxic and plays on some people's emotional weaknesses.
Yet I see no problem with a guy giving $50 to a streamer, or more if they can afford it and if they know what they're doing.

Need counselling over the rage issues. At Nova 3 now, games are getting a lot more enjoyable, at least a shred of effort as people try to work together. Can't get over the hacking paranoia though, some shit just seems so blatant and I have to start the hackusations in all chat. Mass prefires out the ASS, people who can't shoot for fucking shit for 15 rounds bottom fragging, then suddenly pull out 4 1-taps in the pistol round.

Not sure if this is the counselling you're looking for.
Hackusations never accomplish anything except make you look silly. Won't make them stop hacking even if they are. If they aren't, well, that's the "makes you look silly part". Hard to say whether or not they are actually hacking without any video proof and just pure wording. Unless of course they're just running up mid with a negev and shooting you through solid brick walls and bending bullets like Wanted.
People take time to warm up, and get their game on. Lots of times I've just completely shat the bed on one half, but dominate the next. Also momentum and morale plays a big factor too. The confidence to be able to just try and take shots and getting them. At GN 3, it's more likely just smurfs. Badge/Eagle+ players playing lower levels, and so their play would look like hacking.

Just report whoever you think is hacking, if his team istn kicking him you cant do anything else anyways. Starting to shittalk only hurts the moral of your team and boosts the moral of the opponents, especially if your accusation is false. And when people suddenly come to live and kill like a monster, they maybe had a slump or just werent warmed up. I LOVE it when I get called an hacker and mostly suck the entire first half/quarter of my first game of the day, just to wreck like a maniac afterwards. Also, getting used to your opponents plays a big role, during the match I will usually figure out how certain players move and aim accordingly/managed to get in their heads to counter them.
EDIT: Also, if you are sure there is one hacker in the enemy team, just report all of them. Just rewatched a replay/checked the friendslist of a wallhacker(with really shit aim, it was almost funny) to realise his mate was also wallhacking, just not as obvious (like trying to wallbang from mid corner on mirage through connector on to a)/with more own skill, even though the guy was also pretty bad, taking into accoutn he wallhacked. Also, it is very common if htey hack to boost another player that they will play as a stack and take turns so it wouldnt be as obvious/less likely to be get caught by overwatch. Had a match where at least 3 of them where hacking. All of them where friends but they managed to hide it pretty well through taking turns. Through my previous CS-experience Im pretty good at spotting a hacker who knows how to hide his hacks and these guys definitly did and surely wont get caught by overwatch :/

Same here. I can't even count the number of games where I was shitty as fuck first half (bottom fragging, can't aim) then second half I started to play better and did some nice shots. The joy of being inconsistent with a rank that range from Nova3 to MG2...

Personally, regardless of if they're hacking or smurfing or whatever, I just treat it as a challenge. Whether as a challenge of skill, seeing if you can take any kills or points at all, or as a test of patience.
Either that, or I pretend that hackers and smurfs don't exist. Even if all 5 members of the enemy team are hackers, acknowledging that they exist in a way that forfeits the game is nothing but a detriment to you and your improvement. It turns your thoughts from something like "how can I position more effectively" to "fuck them." There's a huge difference between the two, and I think that it's clear which train of thought helps you improve.
