When I'm playing MM I leave most of the default competitive maps checked, as I'm familiar with most of them now (if not all that experienced) and know very basic callouts, but I've seen a couple of people talking about certain maps that require very good teamwork to be played effectively. Overpass is one that I've heard that about, for example.

That got me thinking, are there any maps that you definitely just don't play (or recommend playing) when you're solo queueing, for that reason?

Nuke sucks ass with a team that isn't coordinated.

But in general I would just recommend to untick those maps you yourself are unconfortable with.

I only have d2, mirage and cache checked. Aside from the them the only ones I have bothered to learn is nuke and inferno.
I just hated nuke, didnt like playing it at all. On inferno I find ct pretty fun but for t for some reason I always get yelled at for either playing to passive or aggresive :/ Guess it just comes down to I don't understand how to play it.

In the long term it will probably be boring but for now I don't play enough for it to feel stale

I've had my best and worst games so far on Mirage. AWPing on T side I had many good rounds, but trying to do it on CT side (although in theory I think AWPing on CT side seems favorable) hasn't worked out well for me at all.

I just don't solo queue any more. I always find 4 others to play with. Or do something else instead.

No longer masochistic enough to solo queue.

Cache seems like the 2nd most popular MM map after D2

Inferno is a pretty good soloqueue map because its not as CT sided when no one knows how to smoke banana from A.

after forfeiting our first match, we finally got 5 together, we ended up practicing for 3 hours, but had to swap out one guy like 5 minutes before the match, and had some drama with getting the server switched. I was IGLing. We ran a 1-3-1 default on T side and it started out really rough because we had a lot of communcation problems because of the swap right before the game. On CT site we ran a 3-1-1 defualt, i was the 3rd guy on A, we ended up swapping to a 2-1-2 with a late rotate to A because they were putting on a lot of early pressure B but were favoring A pushes. ended up winning 16-9.

Bro, we need more context man ^^ Good that you won!

I've gotten Overpass many times even with all 7 maps ticked, its amazing :p Usually only untick D2 and the map I played that day already, if we stack and play a whole bunch of games, we just keep unticking till all maps are played and then sleep.

Anyone know what the altered default crosshair hiko used on stream was about a month ago? I like how it looked. Anyone know what the config was? It looked like the default dynamic crosshair but smaller and different.
