I put an LGB sticker from their first tournament(dh2013? 2014?) on an A1 when they first came out, I wanted to move it to a different part of the gun and add a couple of Fnatic stickers years later so I scraped it without caring because it's a loving sticker made of video game pixels.

Whoops. Turns out it was worth $40~ because people are retarded for stickers.

Keep your stickers. I've been holding onto holos I got for $1 in 2014 and they sell for $7-9 now. Plus if you get a skin you'll never get rid of, you have cool rear end Lisa Frank poo poo to put on it.

I've wanted another M4A1S Guardian for a while now and managed to pick one up with three Titan holos for $6. I feel like someone rage quit the game and sold their baby :(

I picked up these horrible looking berettas with name tag and stickers for cheap long ago, the horrible wear clashes with the fresh stickers so bad but I can't bring myself to scratch them.

Yup, same exact thing happened to me. I hate doing those because unless you luck into an empty server or are playing on very off hours the odds of you getting even one bomb plant/defuse a round is quite low. I did a good lot of my missions when few others were playing and farmed up kills on bots, helping other people clear things once I was done.

Stickers are the tackiest things ever and I'll never understand how some are so valuable. They just cover up the pretty skin you paid for. There's maybe three stickers that work well on certain guns.

the stickers that are worth money are ones you can absolutely never get again or from organizations/players that stopped playing. supply and demand, scarcity, etc

honestly this game has about as good of a ranking system as i think is possible for a team game. i don't know how dota/lol work but the only better one i've seen is SC2 which has the benefit of being a 1v1 game

if you deserve to rank up you will

I honestly agree with you. But. I've gotten into the pro scene more lately and think it's a fun way to actually support teams and players I enjoy watching. That and I like buying mega cheap stickers and scraping them on different guns for different results. I made myself a broke-rear end Wasteland Rebel from a BS Elite Build and scraped player stickers.

There are some guns that work well with stickers and some that don't. I put a Titan sticker on the stock of my M4A4 Griffin because I gotta have a sticker on my guns and it's the only place that wouldn't cover up the graphic. It also kinda looks like the top of the T is blowing some of the feathers away like a leafblower :3:

"Thus," concluded Miyamoto, "you must give up everything you have to be my disciple."

Played two games last night and both were rather close losses (12-16 and 13-16)...good thing both of those games had my teammates pissing away rounds for no reason (starting a defuse way too late / trying to knife the last guy in a 3v1, resulting in the guy killing the defuser and then everyone else) because otherwise we might have won!

For you silver and Nova goons, this happened on MGE. It never gets better.

I don't understand the "take this out of the game Valve" stuff. Well I do, it's the crying of someone trying to blame 1 double kill on choking away 19 other perfectly good chances to win a major, but what are Valve supposed to do about it? Make it less random? more random? Either one doesn't solve the problem of jumping/lucky hits.

MM owns it just sucks that ranked doesn't have any significant hurdles before you can play it (8 hours of stupid gamemodes isn't really a hurdle). The only improvement I can think of that would significantly improve it is for valve to implement unranked comp 5v5 MM and gate ranked queue until you get like 50-100 unranked comp wins or something.

Hopefully someone can help me out here. I recently purchased a Karambit | Fade knife alongside a bunch of other stuff, and every prospective buyer asks me the "ratio". I did a bit of googling but didn't find a really great guide, a fellow linked me to http://metjm.net/csgo/ to take a screenshot of it without having to install the game(I don't play csgo), and based on the screenshot it took it seems to be a "40/60" Karambit Fade. I believe it's worth about ~200-230 csgo keys, is that correct?

I'm still fairly new to csgo trading, mostly done tf2/dota until recently, so the things like ratio and float value are still new things to me.
