I suck at KZ maps. This video by Launders made me learn this job consistently with 20 minutes of practice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zc_YvYSUfSw I kept counter-steering by pressing A near the end which kept causing me to fall off. If you're having trouble, pay attention to his crosshair. EDIT: In fact, I just went ahead and learned the mirage window to ladder room jump following the exact same steps. Just go left instead of right. My mind is blown right now. Audax fucked around with this message at 23:58 on Feb 22, 2016 |

Never queuing competitive without a 5 stack ever again. Ran into 3 tweens who decided from round 1 they were going to ruin me and buds game. They spent 26 rounds griefing us, jumping in front of shots, and body blocking to try and throw the game. Me and my friend still managed to go 12-3 first half T, but that was a mistake because CT side they just completely shut anything we could do down. They finally got enough team damage off of my buddy with 2 rounds left, he got kicked, then they vote kicked me. Never again. Which means I'll never be able to play competitive because I'm stuck at silver 2 because of this. I'm actually angry about this and that's the worst part.

Was DMG before the rank shift and stopped playing for like a month. Hopped in for a match last night to show my rank due to inactivity. Dominated the match, 1st place, and won the match. New Rank? Gold Nova 2

You'll probably rank up once or twice fairly easily, that seems to be happening to most people in that rank range when they first come back after the rank shift.

I don't really care about my rank, but I'm not going to waste my time and the frustration of dealing with people like that on my own team. Hell I'd take 4 Mr. Pinks because he doesn't try to get you kicked from the game and try to vote kick you every round. Dealing with the odd greifer is not worth having the little digital bar fill up a tic or two so that it displays a different set of colors after enough tics happen.

While griefers exist at every rank, people intentionally grief themselves down to silver so it's not entirely true to imply that you'd encounter that stuff as much at high ranks. I noticed a huge improvement when I got out of silver.

Had one buddy, that's why they started to try and get tk damage so one of us would get kicked for too much then they could just vote kick the other. But after 20 rounds of wasting out time. And a lovely 30 min cooldown for the trouble.

Does anyone know of a site that sounds similar to this. It allows you to select what inventory you have and simulate a trade up contract. Giving you what possible outcomes you have and what % of getting said things and possible skin qualities. Tried googling a bunch but nothing seemed to work.

Has anyone used http://simpleradar.com/ for any extended period of time? I remember reading about people doing basic texture switching back in the day and getting banned because of it. Hesitant about using it if Valve decides it's a problem. Call me paranoid. symbolic posted:Probably should do that myself, because I've come to the conclusion I'm the worst aimer in the world after playing for almost 1.2K hours. Are you running a lovely system like mine? At this point I know I'll never be able to AWP mid with 110 ping and 55 frames. Ok, sure, it's usually not that bad. But I'm 90+ ping at most times and on some of the newer maps I'm occasionally under 70 frames. I'm usually somewhere approaching passable with rifles but I've found I'm typically able to predict where people will be and I keep finding I'm much better with SMGs simply because movement isn't so dependent on ping/frames. Same thing with holding sites. Change up where you're playing, don't be afraid to push if you hear that AWP reloading on the other side of that smoke, etc. I've also gotten pretty good at pop flashing (either holding a close corner and dropping it or bouncing it off the ground once at a sprint) which completely nullifies the fact I'm slower than the other guy - he's totally blind. TLDR: try playing to your strengths if aiming isn't one of them. fennesz fucked around with this message at 06:08 on Feb 23, 2016 |

I cannot trace a moving target to save my life, nor aim at a head from a distance more than, say, d2 b window to tunnels exit. I've tried forcing myself, but even then my body just works against me. 'Tis the life I lead. We all start there, turning down sensitivity is the single biggest thing you can do to make tracking etc way easier. You're probably LMG anyways.

sens talk  Is a 180* full range too low? I used to run even lower until I thought that I should probably be able to turn at least 90* without shuffling. I've been watching AdreN's tips and he has a full 360*. I know it's all preference but that's a huge difference

This is going to sound dumb but try muting your entire team sometime. Just see what happens. If I hear a lot of retarded bullshit in the first round or two, I mute my whole team, only comms when I die (p sure teammates can still hear you if you can't hear them - not sure tho) and just play. I typically see higher killcounts than I normally would otherwise. And a somewhat related question. If you're rocking an AK/M4 in Valve DM. How many kills do you usually post?

symbolic posted:This was today. DEMO RUNDOWN, rear end in a top hat STYLE! COUNTER-TERRORIST Round 2: After that first kill you should have either ducked back behind lockers or into A site to reload rather than just stand out in the open and be killed. Round 3: When you're at headshot box you are erratically moving your crosshair from mid over to vent. Even though there was a smoke thrown to try and give them cover, it was a worthless smoke and you would have seen them come out from mid long before they'd disappear into that smoke. Keep your crosshairs trained on mid or boost depending on the information that's relayed to you. Round 4: You are moving around far too much in A so that you really aren't watching any useful angles. Pick an angle and have patience. Of course, this isn't to say not to switch things up every once in a while, but there has been no time for them to even get a lock onto what you're doing in the first place. You're overthinking this by a great deal. Round 5: Are you playing with speakers and not any headphones? I swear that I'm hearing things and it's almost as if you have no idea that the enemy is right above and/or next to you. Also, you could tell that enemy that got up on ladder in A was right above you, yet you ran to toxic to check out bottom mid. You are very lucky that your opponents are dogshit with aim, because anybody else could have taken your head off long before you got the dude in mid and turned to get him. Also, don't take out nades while completely exposed you did with the HE. Round 6: Don't peek so wide. Gotta do some jiggle peeks and bait those scouts/awps once you heard squeeky open. Round 7: Why the hell are you buying an M4 when your teammate had $12k at the beginning of the round? Tell that bitch to drop you something. I'm not sure why it took you so long to rotate over to B after the T's rushed it (I'm assuming that you could see bomb on radar, even if your teammates weren't communicating), not to mention you trying to pop flash vents when all three of you had an awp cornered in checkers. You could hear your teammates moving in on him; go join them! Round 8: The Dreaded AWP Round. I know that you said to not even mention this round, but c'mon, Why were you peeking so wide? What you should have done to make yourself a smaller target was to hug the wall connected to squeeky so you could get a better angle on the T's in main. Round 9: Why are you still at A when the bomb is down and the rest of your team is there? Your job isn't to go hunting for the last Terrorist; it's to ensure that the bomb stays dropped. Go rendevousz with your team. Round 11: Same criticism as round 4. You aren't watching anything of value because you keep moving around. Give out necessary information to your teammates, and it looked like you were as they were converging into A to assist you, yet you moved away from holding the angle. If they had flashed out or smoked at all they could have barreled out into site uncontested. Round 12: The Dreaded AWP Round Mk. II. While I appreciate the Death tribute name on the Asiimov... ouch, that was rough. Other than making your shots, I don't think there was much you could have done there. Round 13: Again, why are you buying anything when one teammate has 10.5k and another has 16k. YELL AT THEM TO GIVE YOU SOMETHING. HOLY loving poo poo STOP PEEKING SO GOD drat WIDE ARRRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why the gently caress didn't you take the shot? YOu could see his arm! It either would have killed him or done enough damage to scare him into retreating. Instead you just sat there waiting for a better shot and you got one tapped for your trouble. Round 14: Again you go hunting for the Terrorist, allowing him to kill your two teammates watching the bomb. Luckily he had fuckall for time so his hand was forced, but think if he had another minute or so, you have made it into a 2v1 situation where you and your teammate have to split sites in case he runs away or tries to fake it. There's much larger strength in numbers. TERRORIST Round 16: *exasperated sigh* what a shitshow this round was. I mean, I think you did the right thing by trying to cover your flank. It's just your worthless team that really dropped the ball and couldn't hold main. Round 20: That was good patience while going mid. Snuck up on him like a real ninja. Now incorporate some of that patience into your CT side. Round 21: Footsteps had glitched out for me in the demo by this point, but that last CT by box in B main looked like he ran to hide behind it, which you most definitely should have been able to hear. Even if you didn't hear it, you already killed one CT that pushed, you should always check those corners by the box and into checkers when that happens just in case. Also, this is just an observation, but stop trying to be overly cute with your grenades, namely flashes. You either don't get the angles right and just end up flashing yourself or they do absolutely no good at all. It's good that there's different uses for them, but it just looks like you're trying to make too many "pro moments" happen, and nothing transpires from it. Go dm. A LOT. Also try out aim_botz and other reflex training maps. Do this for hours on end. Sorry if this makes me sound like a dick. A TURGID FATSO fucked around with this message at 08:27 on Feb 23, 2016 |

So news is breaking that MLG Columbus qualifiers are rife with visa issues, as two players of Team YP and the entirety of The Mongolz were denied entry into the US. YP is going to play with stand-ins from CSGL, Mongolz will miss the event entirely. Let's hope next year we go back to having no US-based majors.
