Streamer the Deag League beat last night:

http://www.twitch.tv/callmehhawke/b/552015114

Deagin' starts at 52:45. The guys with japanese (?) characters in their names had just played us the previous match, that's why one of them asks the other if they should abandon or not.

There are absolutely no vibes on that team.

It's probably an indication of how bad I am with the Deagle that I only drop 30 on Silvers.

Did you trade astr0man 2 keys for it, cause if not I'll take him up on that offer, deag league looks like hilarious fun.

Also I suck with the deag and would like to get better. Is there a junior deag league for those of us that suck and know it?

I figured, no worries man. Tbh I should probably just use my main since I don't care that much about rank or whatever, but I guess like the idea of having a separate one dedicated to shenanigans.

The Great Twist
Just hopping in this game from playing 1.6 ages ago. Is there some general consensus as to what SMG to use? Not really having any success with anything except the p90, at which point I feel I might as well buy a famas/galil.

Your observations are right on the money. I would recommend the Mac-10 or the UMP as other interesting SMGs to buy after round 2, but really if you're not buying a bizon round 2 you're buying the wrong smg. Also there's no reason to buy an smg after the enemy buys armor, which is every round, except for the P90. Unless you buy Cent's round 2 ak

Yep, pretty much.

To add to this; I recommend never buying round 2 AK or p90 because if you die and give it to the other team you can be in trouble. The bizon works so well round 2 because it doesn't work on your team's armor.

So playing in matchmaking right now and all of a sudden our team's ping all jumped up by 150. Literally just our team. What gives?

Also, thanks matchmaking I guess.



e: I guess I'm just curious if this is a known bug or did we get ddos'd? If it's the latter, is cheating really that common?

Smurf trip report: got ranked Silver 2. So this account is good for either Deagle shenanigans or deranking to Silver 1.

Think I'll hold off using it for a few days though. I think I've surpassed the point where Deagle practice is making me better and reached the point where playing with Silvers is making me worse.

I have Time Warner and I noticed over the past couple of nights (save for tonight *knock on wood*) my internet has been going down intermittently, which is really annoying. So I have no idea what the hell.

I wasn't really keeping track, but I figure I probably lost 5 or 6 and won 10. My initial two games were losses against silvers though, which I think may have heavily influenced my ranking. (edit: because after that no matter how many I won in a row I was still seeing silvers)
