I am not trolling or trying to jump a bar, I am just wondering if through the last 10+ years of my cs career I somehow avoided cs community that exists perhaps on a different website... If you've played thousands of hours of CS than you should know what the areas are called since you know... you don't need to be in the competitive scene to know banana, pit, lower b, and all this which is mostly common sense from playing the game. | ||

While some of it is pretty common knowledge, I would still not mind reading if there is anything available... but I guess it's not so I will just search myself | ||

No, there is no Team Liquid of CS. The only legitimate resource that used to exist was Gotfrag which isn't really a relevant site anymore. To be honest though, there's not really much to learn, it's a shooter. Advanced tactics are shit like throwing nades so they make a noise as soon as you defuse or shoulder peaking a ledge where you think an awper might be to bait his shot then cross the choke or kill him. The most advanced concepts have to do with team synergy and strategy on individual maps which no team makes readily available to anyone anyway. Best way to improve is constant deathmatching with awp/deagle to improve reaction time and aim and then playing esea matches until you find a team to scrim with. Ultimately, if your aim and reaction times are good, you'll find a team pretty easily and can learn the rest as a team. | ||

I don't remember Steam ever releasing a game at midnight, it's always been in the morning. | ||

I don't remember Steam ever releasing a game at midnight, it's always been in the morning. For non valve games that I've pre-ordered, they unlock at midnight. I have no clue about valve games. | ||
