Question is about learning them in sufficient or insufficient period of time.

Sufficiency in this case however is defined as learning them to an extent that they are not disadvantaged when having to play on that map versus other teams. As all teams have the same time to learn the map, player skill once again is the predominant factor in the matchups.

So I just picked this game up, I skipped CS: Source all together but played pretty regular during 1.x days, first handful of competitive games I've absolutely steamrolled the other team and even get reactions like "OH GOD HES NOT EVEN RANKED" is the skill level in GO just really low or did shaking hands with ksharp a decade ago give me autism?

You're still playing with people below your skill level, give it a few games

And again, it's all irrelevant because the two really-new-never-used-before maps are 100% in control of *either team* to ban out if they don't want to practice them. There is literally nothing to make anybody actually play Cobblestone & Overpass. Sure, that might mean you take a risk on Cache not getting banned by the other team, but isn't Cache already used in some leagues?

It's worth noting here that CSGO's new-player algorithm tends to assume you're mid-Silver rank to start. If you've got experience with old CS and a pulse, you'll probably be ranked out of that before your 10-wins-for-placement are up.

I believe that cache and season were already commonly played in the NA leagues (ESEA/CEVO) but never in European leagues (ESL).

I was thinking about this earlier and I think if I were in those team I'd probs still ban the best map of whoever I'm playing and take a chance on the 3rd map lottery.

I hope all the top teams focus on the regular maps thinking everyone will just ban the other maps, and then the underdog teams all focus on learning the new maps. Then I hope all the top teams get eliminated by the underdogs early on because of the maps.

Things are looking up...

This will be stupid - but I cannot get that Autoexec listed in the OP to work.
The one that links the F keys to weapon purchases, that is.

I've tried every iteration of the formatting that I've come across.
I've tried different formats of the runtime options in Steam.

Whatever I am doing wrong, I cannot get the keybinds to work.

F3 is forever 'buy last' (default) and F5 is always the stupid 'screenshot' button.

Please help me figure out what's going wrong here?

I have:

exec autoexec

In my Launch Options
I've tried with and without a dash and plus in front, and with .cfg

And the formatting of the autoexec is as follows:

bind "f1" "buy p250"
bind "f2" "buy p90"

etc.

I've tried with and without the quotations on both.

If anyone has successfully gotten the bindings to work, please help me out. I feel retarded right now.

----

Yet more googling has yielded:

Help! The autoexec isn't executed on startup!
This seems to be a known problem with no "works everytime" solution yet. You can try out to either:
a) execute the autoexec by entering the command "exec autoexec" (without the "") in your console. (thanks, wAvelulz!)
b) enter all commands into your config.cfg instead of your autoexec.cfg.
c) put the command "exec autoexec" (again without the "") at the end of your config.cfg. (thanks, highlatency!)
d) add "+exec autoexec" to the launch options (with console activated it should read "-console +exec autoexec"). (thanks, ohgodthecat!)

Not sure WHICH one of these solved the issue, but it works now! If anyone knows which of these is a reliable and easiest method? Might be worth including with the autoexec in the OP.

You don't need quotes around the key. It should be
code:
bind f1 "buy p250"
Also, did you try doing 'exec autoexec' in console? autoexec is bugged for some people where it doesn't run the first time you launch the game.

I got it working, and it does have the quotations around the key still.
Might be one of those things the console is happy with and without?

I ended up trying it with the + sign in the launch options, as well as putting exec autoexec into my config.cfg (I have the feeling that one works most reliably)

If you're pasting a string of commands you either need to execute as cfg or separate them with semicolons

Like cl_crosshairsize 8; cl_crosshairstyle 4; cl_crosshairthickness 2 etc

New doors are quite bad at letting you kill anyone with anything but AWP or Desert Eagle.

You don't need exec autoexec anywhere, just create the autoexec file in the right folder with the settings you want, and then at the end, append these two lines of code:

code:
echo "Autoexec Config loaded" // this will appear in the console after the game loads, so hit ~ at the main menu to check
host_writeconfig

Make sure that you have windows showing known file endings... by default they're hidden. IE. "autoexec.cfg" is actually "autoexec.cfg.txt" the .txt is a hidden file extension by default. This is probably the only thing I can think of to explain why they wouldn't work, because everything else seems fine.

Shoulda just done a marketplace trade for x hundred keys, then sold the keys. Keys have a fixed value and people are much less likely to try and scam you if you're selling a few keys at a time (and if they do, you've only lost a few bucks).
