I really wish they would limit awps to 1 or 2 per team below dmg. They're just so powerful and easy to use at lower elo. Solo queue is literally team with more people who know how to awp wins for me currently, and it's a little bit frustrating.

Just gotta learn how to AWP yourself. Doesn't matter how many AWPs the other team has if you're better than all of them. Pick 'em off, take site, winzor.

I did learn how to awp myself. I was that guy who bought nothing but awps or saved with pistol, made it to MGE just awping, thought I was pretty good so I decided to rifle. Dropped down to GN3, and refuse to AWP anymore because it's just unfair at this elo.

Disclaimer: I appreciate what the awp brings to the game at higher levels, I think it's an exciting weapon to watch etc. etc.

Well I think nobody saw Penta getting out of group and also I think Hell Risers had a great showing beating both Fnatic and C9.
Edit: Which is an upset beating Fnatic.

A nice memory from years past:

In the early days of CS when many called an AWP the Noob Tube. Twas a different time indeed.

Need to learn to quick peek/use flashes/flank to pick out the awper. DMG's struggle too depending on who they are. Awp's at low levels tend to suck, since they miss way more and have terrible reaction times.

I'm quite the opposite, if I went pure awp, I'd probably drop a rank or two as opposed to rifling.

Drats, NiP lost a round, so 1-7 now.

NiP doing a lot of fancy height differences. Playing on edges of buildings, elevating in smoke etc.

HR starting to play now, winning eco round.
