Word on the street is that Cobblestone and Overpass will be played at ESL One Cologne. :v:
Is this the word on the street as in someone is spreading that rumor because of NBKs comment that he'll retire if that happens?

Personal opinions on cbble and Overpass not withstanding, neither of them are ready for competitive play at that level.

CS:S cbble was the tits. Not sure why they broke B so badly in CS:GO. The changes at A are really good though.

I've been in the group forever and came close to joining up a few times but I really suck at counterstrike. Maybe I'll finally jump in this weekend. I'm a total scrub and really enjoy these occasional map pack operations on casual servers :shobon:

Buy right, communicate, don't intentionally bait, make the effort.

That's all you really gotta do to 'survive' goonman. You'll probably get blown up for the first XX games but you will learn more in those than matchmaking at your current ranking.

I got yelled at in my second goonman for baiting a guy because in the first goonman I got yelled at for blocking a guy and I didn't want to do that again, I don't remember if it was the same person.

I'm pretty sure if we had been double awped I would have been yelled at for not knowing how to peek. Some dudes are just high strung I guess.

I have a hankering to know if it's actually the case that 99% of end-of-map community server votes are for dust2, or if it just seems that way. Are those statistics collected and presented anywhere?

And one for the doctor
30000 rate is the true path to CS immortality

I'm on lovely DSL, 128k rate is fine for me. Only reason I see someone not using it is either because they don't care enough to change it or they want to become an invincible CS god

Moumantai!
There is literally no difference between 80k and 128k unless you're playing on a 32 man server.

updaterate and cmdrate 128 are important though.

I've always been bad at CS, but theres something glorious about running round a corner into people who are worse. making GBS threads AK bullets all around you while you calmly place your deagle in his mouth and say NO.

CS is fun, basically.

CS is not fun. You only think it's fun because it is akin to an abusive relationship. Allow me to elaborate.

You take the abuse time and time again, but you know deep down in your heart that CS has no true spite for you and doesn't mean to keep hurting you in the many ways it has. After you threaten to leave it, the pitiful bastard comes crawling back to you by giving you a 3/4/5k and you feel magnificent. But not long after the wonderful bushido make-up sex, it quickly reverts back to being the painful and cruel mistress CS was always intended to be.

We had fun on Mist earlier. The match was a bit weird because no one knew the map but we crushed them and had multiple people going negev. Shotguns seemed super viable but no one was really holding angles the way you normally would.

I hope you weren't playing me because I didn't know mist at all and the other team were using shotguns and negevs... or something i don't even know

We smashed the poo poo out of 2 double ak guys, 2 silvers and some other guy I don't remember the rank of. We were novas 3 and below. I don't think anyone was taking it seriously because we had people jumping off cliffs by mistake, molotoving themselves and just laughing continuously even at half time.
