I'd be terrified of using that in a cheat protected game. I'm also incredibly paranoid and one of the people that think VAC watches every single thing going on in your box.

If anyone can do it, it's Immunity. They're currently a map down and looking a little shaken in their Semi Final however so who knows.

Vox have already made it through to the Grand Final pretty convincingly and looked (in the 1st qualifying tournament last week) unstoppable. If they do qualify I wouldn't be surprised to see them make more of an impact than in Poland.

So in the OP the great econ writeup mentions buying armor/p250 but at least armor after a lost pistol round. I feel like I very rarely see people buying armor in round 2 after a loss (even in goonman), is this strategy still current? I hear a lot more 'don't buy anything' after a lost pistol round.

buy whatever you want on round 2 after a loss on 1. i wouldn't recommend buying kevlar w/o a helmet though. if you're not going to get a helmet, the 650 for kevlar is pretty much always better off being spent on anything else. always get at least a p250 on round 2

The most important thing is to coordinate your economy with your team. Armor+helmet and pistol is pretty rare in competitive mm because it is hard to get everyone on the same page for a weird play like that.

That's actually a really good point about the 650 not being worth it. I'll play more with the p250 - I do have the supernova skin anyways so why not!

The thing that makes helm/250 so ridiculously strong is that either you face non-AP weapons at much better odds, or you force your opponent to stretch money to buy rifles round 2 which you can then pick up for more firepower against THEIR armor, and it moneyfucks the poo poo out of them going into round 3 if they lose. You can full buy round 4 CT with helm/250 round 2 (which is what you'd be doing anyway), and you can full buy round 3 T with one bomb plant even if you lose round 2. That said, I rarely see round 2 helm/250 T side unless I'm with a stack and we lost the pistol round against a team who got off some lucky shots and we feel like we can rush a site and surprise the hell out of some scrubs.

They're casting the GOTV not the gameserver itself, there's something like a 2 minute delay to stop matchmaking idiots from having their friends spectate games and call enemy positions for them.

Huh?

e: wait do you actually mean that because of the MH17 stuff? The 15 year old Russian kid you'd be solo queueing with that has half the education/professional opportunity you do and lovely social systems etc doesn't need your 1st world fox news angst against him on top of that. Also he has as much to do with the decisions of his govt than you personally did with the retarded Bush foreign policies.

I think he just means that he is not fond of repeatedly listening to listing of all mental diseases implied to him, as well as colourful remarks regarding his play, flavoured with detailed history of sexual intercourses his mother has been part of - and all that excessively loudly and in a language he, most likely, does not understand.

Edit: I don't not write bad sentences.

People throwing around homophobic slurs is one thing, but when they come from a member of a society that condones brutalising gays it becomes a little too much for me. And Im not a right wing rear end in a top hat, I'm a raging liberal rear end in a top hat, thank you very much.

My friends and I use a similar tactic for CT side of Nuke on save rounds. We have crow's nest which is five people sitting on rafter at A and cockroach, which is five guys (two on bottom, two on each of them, and one standing between) cramped into dark corner at B. Ridiculously stupid and surprisingly effective.

Is there any way to grab a demo once it's off the main page of the Your Matches screen? I meant to download a demo earlier where, on Nuke, I ran out of toxic with a molotov, got shot (as expected), lit the bombsite, and killed the three people who tried to defuse, but I can't find the game listed. It's probably the only cool thing I've ever done in CS:GO.
