tempostorm is playing right now and im very excited about it. how many teams qualify for the major from this event?

edit: one from each group it looks like

Top two from each group. The 8 playoff teams from the last major got a direct invite, 8 teams get in via the qualifier.

I was wrong about Kioshima being a 2015 superstar, but 2016 could definitely be the year of players like NiKo, fer and coldzera.

Check out what I learned today after 3500 hours.



Was on the receiving end of this angle. During the same round I learned that you can also be shot in the feet from ct because there's huge gaps under the box.

My best guess is it's not intentional. Valve forgot to update the prop heights now that jumpscouting is a feature in the game. Clearly a developmental oversight.

I just saved you 3500 hours of learning material with this one helpful post. You're welcome.

The same spot also has a nice angle in the other direction, if anyone hasn't noticed.

That's actually interesting. I'll keep it in mind, thanks!

But there's no way I could use it above low ping with my old man reflexes.

It's actually not as bad as it seems. If a CT is retaking from jungle, he's probably not going to run from there with W taped down on his keyboard. He's gotta check a lot of angles, which gives you some time to line-up the shot.
