Counter-Strike: Global Offensive v6 "Almost Gold Nova!"

[Ogris]

Baiting can be a completely legit tactic if you use it to your advantage. It's often used on eco rounds or when someone is in an unorthodox position to try and bait the enemy team into not seeing him, or having 3 guys focus on 1 so the other player can spray them all without getting shot at.

That's just some really simple examples

So I'm quite new to this, how do you get souvenir packages? As far as I understand, you need to watch tournament watches, where can I find a schedule then?

You get drops from Valve Majors. The next major is ESL One Cologne and runs from august the 20th to the 22nd
also you get drops from watching the game from ingame (press the watch tab) or by watching the official streams with your steam account linked to your twitch account.

Pretty sure you get those from watching big majors, like ESL One or Dreamhack Summer/Winter, pretty sure you can google those are get the days.

If you go in-game, it will show that the tournament is live there too. From there, you can connect your Steam account to Twitch and watch the matches on Twitch, or watch them using CS:GO in the Watch menu.4

Baiting is fine as long as it is agreed and done properly. I've baited myself before for other. If you say you're going in with someone then wait and bait them, though, you're being a dick.

Haven't played cs in forever because my account was hijacked and steam support has still not answered after 3 weeks. This is getting ridicolous. I could probably have worked and earned back all those money in this time

[cra0kalo]

so yeah this happened

All the new information on the your matches screen is beautiful.

At first I thought it was bugged because It said I won the last 8 games in a row. Little did I know, I won the last 8 games in a row.

[Spookly]

i swear its science that when you 4-stack the last guy is always a literal human/slug hybrid

[Tsyolin]

I'm leaning towards this.

[B]Teams[/B]

Group A: TSM (no question)
Group B: EnVyUs (again not really in question)
Group C: Fnatic (wouldn't be surprised if Na'Vi pulled some crazy shit though)
Group D: VP (Only because they kicked ass at CEVO, this group is a tossup)

[B]Players[/B]

Group A: dupreeh (Only because NiP is slumping hard)
Group B: Scream (Why would you pick anyone else)
Group C: flamie (Unless he has an off-game he'll win it)
Group D: nex (random pick between TaZ, nex, and n0thing)

[Spookly]

literally lost a CT half because valve lost connection to the servers or some shit and none of us could buy m4a1 or usp-s and we weren't practiced at all with the others...

[jason3232]

Just somewhat came back from a 4-11 to 15-15. It was just too intense that I am literally shaking right now. It just feels so good.

i wish they would make an item that lets you paste a Stattrak counter onto anything

i want a Stattrak Gator Mesh, dammit

Edit: make a Gator Mesh deagle while you're at it

Yeah, a lot of non-case skins are really cool, but I will never use them because they're not StatTrak.

[Seba]

Stattrak M4A4 Jungle Tiger and Desert Storm pls

[Reagy]

[QUOTE=Galen;48465203]i wish they would make an item that lets you paste a Stattrak counter onto anything

Its silly because the stattrack meter is a seperate model that just attaches, and all the weapons have the bone it attaches too. So they [I]can[/I] make any gun stattrack.

[gbx]

stattraks kind of lost their appeal to me when valve brought out that swapping tool

[Chex]

If I could slap a StatTrak counter onto my Icarus Fell I'd be the happiest fucker in the world :v:

I just found out that VUE Cinemas in Dublin/Ireland will have LIVE ESL 2015 CS GO showing.
Tickets are 10 Euro only.

This is kinda amazing, I mean I am used to Ireland skipping getting involved into gaming stuff etc.. (Considering there is barely any PC hardware shops)

I would definitely go but I think I would end up sitting alone in whole theater and that would be kinda awkward but awesome at same time.

[QUOTE=Chubbs;48458335]Getting placed in silver 1 is a true achievement. It takes dedication to get placed that low.[/QUOTE]

honestly with the rank shuffling, getting place in silver at all these days is an amazing achievement. i had mates that were in the silvers, and after losing their rank due to inactivity and coming back after that massive ban wave a few months back they were all high gold nova

[Galen]

i hate this new watch menu

who thought it was a good idea to remove fucking Watch Your Highlights? that, and my most recent games have stopped appearing at all

VUE is a major hoster of esports events, nearly all of the UK esports venues are owned and ran by VUE. Gfinity is practically owned by VUE Entertainment and they provided a livestream of Cologne last year as well, hell they even did viewings for the Dota 2 International.

Do many people attend these?
I would love to watch game on big screen.

[EvilPengy]

Only bought the stickers of teams that I think have defo got their got their group on lockdown (i.e TSM, Fnatic & Envy), will buy the rest when they are like 15p on last day as usual.

I'm gonna hoard Kinguin stickers, because as we know, teams that include or relate to penguins are the best.

I've bought: VP, Fnatic, NiP, Kinguin.
Then for players: pashaBiceps and Get_Right.

I have no idea what I am doing, I didn't participate in these events in last year, so now I am just buying whatever I see.

I'd seriously recommend just adding money and buying stickers when they drop dead low on last day, leave them on your account till the next major, then sell them for nearly double or triple what you paid on the last day of ESL Cologne.

I have Katowice stickers from earlier this year worth double what I paid originally, not much but every little counts.
