main menu -> options -> game settings -> max acceptable matchmaking ping. By default, it's 150ms. Set it higher to maybe 300ms, and you'll cover all the servers in the world. Though I don't know why you would want to solo queue into NA servers. Your latency will be so bad, it's not worth it. Valve's MM will also try to find the lowest ping for you. So even if you set it to 300ms, if a lower latency option is available (aka EU servers), you'll be matched to that first. | ||

He could set his ping very high and then queue with a bunch of NA people. Then he'll end up on a NA server for sure. | ||

But again besides having the uncomfortable situation for yourself by playing with a high ping (at NA server from EU for example) I doubt that your teammates will be pleased with you as a high-ping-mate. I can play SC2 without any lag or delays. Why not GO? | ||

Well its a bit different when it comes to SC2 or Dota, in Counterstrike you will feel the difference at all levels of play. Doesnt mean you cant play but you will feel it. When it comes to things like bullets registering and when you take a duel the ping will invariably be the deciding factor in you winning or losing. Especially the higher the level gets. DMG/LE you could probably get away with it if your an FC/Ge level player, If that makes sense. But playing against people your old level will get annoying from time to time with a higher ping. | ||

You click fast and often in sc2, but you don't lose a game because of a 0.1s delay. In counter strike, 100 ms is absolutely crushingly bad. If you and your opponent is equally fast, and he has 50ms and you have 100, he will win 100% of the time. More likely, you're going to get 150-200ms to North America, which is impossible to play with. Sorry  Playing cross server in cs:go is not very fun for anyone involved. | ||

playing with anything above ~80/90 in CSGO feels fucking awful. | ||

I had a max 100 ping limit on puck in dota as well. Impossible to time that phase shift otherwise. Other heroes, especially some of the carries, didn't have any issues with even 200 ping. | ||

On those 3 maps, it also seems pretty hard to come back, if the other team has a great economy, and have 2 AWPs, and you run around with subs or M4/AK. On Inferno it's different for some reason. It doesn't seem like you NEED control over mid to win a game at all. Maybe because you can go up second mid, and have two exists at apartment. So A is pretty easy to take, even vs AWPs. Still feels very CT sided in Gold Nova 3 to MG2. I still haven't played Overpass, train and Cobblestone. I will be adding them this week though. What are some ways around this problem? If everyone on your team is afraid to take mid, because of snipers: CT side of double doors on Dust2, or top mid as T Mid vs Mid on Cache Window vs top mid on Mirage | ||

If everyone on your team is afraid to take mid, because of snipers: CT side of double doors on Dust2, or top mid as T Mid vs Mid on Cache Window vs top mid on Mirage This one is far beyond the scope of "easy answers", and generally you'll get tons more help by watching youtubers like TheWarOwl explain himself through situations like these. Gettting mid on those maps is important, as all of them quickly lets you switch between A and B, just like connector in Overpass. Having control over these spots is a big advantage, but it's also worth noting that CT have a much harder time controlling them than T, and it's important to know when to let go. The question is really how easy you should let them get it, and how many people they'll have to throw at it to get it. On CT, trying to snipe their sniper from doors is absolute suicide, but that doesn't mean you can't shuffle to the right side and get a kill or two as they go short or as they try to push you mid. Mirage is the same. Holding after they have gotten someone behind the boxes in top mid is suicide, but you can shuffle to the side and hold either connector or b-short, or you can relocate to connector and either hold b-short, or try to peek up mid and underground if they're not pushing. Cache is generally a "once you get a kill, run the f back to A and hold down from up there", they might go A as well, which makes the position tricky unless the mid-player is good. On the other hand, if you're up against awpers, and you only have an smg or assault rifles yourself, you need to dig into your trickbook. You can't just hold angles or push blindly anymore. You can either give up mid and relocate to positions where awp isn't as good, as long as you let your team know about it, you can (and should) use your full arsenal of nades, especially smokes. As CT you can also smoke off, and push up close, or try to lurk and hope they dont see you. As T you should learn all of the normal smoke spots, so you can smoke their mid out and push up closer. Like I said, there are a million things to counter awpers and mid players. Watching how pro players do it and educational youtube videos is generally the best way to go  | ||

It's a valid strategy as ct, if you're low on money and you know they only have AKs and AWPs, to not buy head armor. Pro players on T tend to pick up an M4 every now and then (a lot less after the A1-S nerf, granted) to make sure everyone wastes their money on head armor properly. This should not be a regular tactic tho, as a lot of duels end up with pistols, and not having head armor vs pistols usually end up in you being deaded. | ||
