CLG choked that win vs G2

When I find myself in a clutch situation, it's important imo especially during matchmaking. Have a bind you can toggle easily to lower the volume of teammates microphones, the last thing you want is your hearing impaired; keep it at a level where you can still receive information, but the sound won't impair your own ability to hear for footsteps etc. Obviously your aim matters, big time, this is something you'll build up over time as you know, as Portin said there is great workshop maps to help build up consistency, but always put yourself in the advantage in cs;go, be it holding angles, correct positioning (which includes clearing common hiding spots/corners etc) <- This is usually much easier filtering out locations you believe enemies may not be based upon earlier or previous information. Think about the level of play people are usually at in MGE matches, don't expect many fakes (exceptions ofc), try put yourself in their shoes, think about the play they'd be expecting someone to make in that current situation and try and benefit from it. The best way to avoid the clutch situations if they are your weak point is to just avoid being put in that situation in the first place obviously
always not easy as a solo q. So honestly, my best advice for getting out of MGE is to find a friend to queue up with, that and play your strongest map. Cheap way to rank yeah, but it works.
Just my 2 cents
, hope someone more knowledgeable about this could pitch in and correct me where needed . GL
If your MM groups aren't that good you could always queue with me and my friend.
I'm sad you don't even know ex-TSM members
Thoughts on the new gun? the R8 Revolver?
i would really have liked it if it didn't do this shit.
oh and my god the sprays are RNG now.
i'm not playing until a nerf. this has happened before.
Also, fuck this new update really D:
I don't mind changes, I don't even find the rifle nerf absolutely dreadful (I mainly joked in the first comment of mine), I just dislike the way Valve thinks is best (aka "add RNG lel"). It's like if Peppy suddenly said "<good osu player> is too good at circle clicking, we need to make the game more difficult by using <random thing nobody can learn to master>". That's my main problem with the current update/patch of CS:GO: they use RNG to solve most of the gun-related problems while things that don't affect skill level could be used (e.g. damage falloff increased). I just hope it's not going to go further than that.
why do i get the feeling that this is going to take a long time to fix like the hitboxes?
oh and matchmaking is still not fixed. it's horrid.
Then I lost 2 more
hello
As in they are moving to the right with "d" and when they see someone or peek a corner, they quickly press "a" so that their velocity goes to 0 causing their shots to be accurate
it's the same as in other weapons when you run with them and have to stop to shoot, just with the zoom
what the guy above said is true, but it should rather be 'mastered' naturally and not by forcefully trying to strafe back with your keys, at least for me it came naturally after some practice with the AWP
Easiest road to semis for NA, albeit that win against fnatic was pretty legit
will still root for them against vp/lg
It seemed like LG just adapted and happened to win every clutch round.
They did a similar comeback vs Na'vi at the finals on Mirage which is even more impressive
It seemed like Liquid, who aren't a good tactical team, were too scared to play how they usually do (with the nerves of closing the map)
After a few rounds of them going for aggro picks and getting shut down, they tried to execute, but got hard countered by LG.
I don't think adreN can come up to the level he performed this major again. It's not like igl duties were the only thing keeping away from performing at a pretty decent level. Even when he was in ibp with dazed as igl, he wasn't fragging out. I really hope he does prove me wrong though.
As for the fans being toxic, I don't think it's fair to say that from the major, we can see NA fans are toxic. Literally every fanbase has toxic people in it. I thought the crowd showed a decent amount of respect for the other team. Of course, if you're going to play against a team from the home soil, you should expect the crowd to cheer against you.
Also, rip ex6
I think that Tarik is obv a better choice compared to koosta but yeah, atm Tarik is loyal for CLG
NA players tends to blame others ( teammates ) if they made mistakes. As you can see EU and SA teams hardly do that ( even if they do blame but not in extreme extent such as what NA team does )
and about the fans. if you heard that "na na na na hey hey hey goodbye " chant on fnc vs Astralis match, you would understand what i mean by "toxic" but i do agree not all of NA fans are toxic
( i mean i never heard that goodbye chant in Katowice nor Cologne lmao xD )
and last, ex6tenz. idk why the fak he's called as the best IGL in the world. imo a good IGL would have to be good at all aspects in the game ( strats, aim, and AWP so they can fill any role when a teammate dies ). Happy ( RiP EnVy no need to tell me that ) and Karrigan are good examples, but not ex6. both Happy and Karrigan knew how to use their teammates correctly, ex6 doesn't
pls gib me pins i will pay with skins ty :"(
edit: Liquid also need to prove themselves DH malmo that the run at MLG Columbus was not a one time thing...pls dont' be like c9's summer run
what do you expect from VP fanboiz
Liquid vs LG dude potentially. this is the last chance for Liquid to prove themselves. I'm LG fanboi though so i will root for LG
basically, you just have to kill the bot faster.
And i think nowdays most SE players can hold a positive k/d rating against hard/expert bots so make sure you practice more!
and stop using ump and negev against bots, it's best to use AK or M4 against bots, for practice purposes

Climbing the ladder? What do u mean?
Relax, i remember i was long in MGE, because of the random times...
Go in the workshop and download the Aim Botz. It is a very good map to practice. Or play dm/ffa in community servers (only mode hs)

I get too nervous and my aim becomes absolute crap. I know its better to avoid situations like that but my position is usually AWPing and all I do is get as much information as I possibly could while doing my best to kill people as well. I'm not a very good entry fragger. :/ but thanks for the tips still. I'll take note of that.
Nerves will disappear once you do it more and gain more confidence in your own abilities. I am an AWPer too, you might find a lot of sucess on Dust2 as an AWPer due to mid/long/snipers nest positions in B etc. Lots of wide open space for you to control choke points from a distance. You will more often than not get a natural entry frager in your public MM groups anyway, someone who is just eager and rushes in and checks the common hot spots. Forgot to mention in my previous posts that people also play with a 4:3 res / stretched etc as this usually makes player models wider (thus their head) is an easier target, but seriously for headshots its just practice and proper crosshair placement. This is hard as an aggressive AWPer, but if you're playing AK or M4 take your time to preaim positions as you clear them, like entry onto A bombsite (Dust) from Cat, preaim the door frame/ninja/barrels/plateau/A ramp/Elevator/Goose/Car etcElicchi wrote:

LG = DHW black horse
I played the game for the very first time almost 4 years ago when it was just in beta, got myself a beta key for signing up a survey and it was it. I miss the feeling of playing it for the first time and the excitement of the fact that there's a new Counter-Strike coming out after a long time but now I feel like it's pretty boring. Not the game itself but I'm at LEM and I don't feel the fun I used to get from it anymore but I might probably come back in playing it sooner or later.

Should I buy the game as my friends play CS: GO but I don't normally play First person shooters. I also don't know if my laptop will be powerful enough to play the game.

I read a lot of posts about people asking how to climb the ladder, guys don't bother yourself with the ladder, just play to improve your aim/gamesense (+ crossfire & trading kills, smokes, flashes etc.). And keep in mind that a player's rank doesn't mean anything since boosting someone in this game is pretty easy, you can go on faceit or esea if you want some "challenging" matchmaking.

I'd honesty recommend watching professional games too. You'll learn a lot (with the help of analyast desks/play by play commentators too) before you even jump in to the game. I'll give you a good starting pointMiTsuw wrote:

Also, fuck this new update really D:
I stopped playing for now because rifle nerf too OP for meh. Also because the revolver rekt everything I held dear on CSGO, even if it got nerfed already. :c
you know, when i read all the crap everyone says about the rifle nerf they say it like it's literally impossible to even hit the floor. everyone is crying really damn hard. fuck, when i logged on and played everything was not that bad, really. it has changed not so much for the better but seriously did this update make you forget how to use a fucking mouse? while i do think this rifle nerf should fuck off i think a lot these people complaining are silvers using this as an excuse for their bad aim.
there is this place on reddit where you can help get rid of it. because this really has no place here in CS:GO.
https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensiv ... s_removed/
send emails to volvo there. so the people that have actual problems with this can be satisfied. i noticed that this patch has really affected players who could do long range sprays and that was their playstyle. since rng they couldn't do very much. and i feel for these people because they are being drowned out by crying silvers. and also the fact that making a playstyle no longer viable is just wrong, wtf volvo?

Well yeah, it's not game-breaking, but it's something you don't need in a game based on skill. I mean, even the actual pros don't have a chance at "mastering" the increased randomness. If someone is skilled enough to kill you e.g. from pit to A-site on Dust II with godly spray, their skill shouldn't be "nerfed" by adding more random spread if they are truly that good.GSG95 wrote:

exactly, man! thank god you said it RNG has no place in this game. or any competitive game for that matter, it would make skills matter a lot less. valve has no clue about what their patches do. they even started ignoring the pros. their most dedicated players for fuck's sake even they don't like this shit.you're god damn right about how if someone could spray from long to pit, they deserve the kill. i have to say this the second time. i still have no clue what they were thinking when they were doing this. i for one certainly mind the rifle changes but not to the level where i would quit (but if people want to quit because of this update, should anyone really be surprised because this is not a good update let me tell you.). i was just pointing out people that act like this update suddenly made them lose control over their fucking wrists. those people give off the impression that the CS community is a lot more retarded than it is.M8gazine wrote:

Some of the things Liquid was doing were just confusing... especially that Mirage A take when they seemed to fake it at first but then went in anyways... so weird.
My friend thinks some match-fixing was going on but I don't think it was that extreme... really hard to watch those games regardless. :\

It seemed like LG just adapted and happened to win every clutch round.
They did a similar comeback vs Na'vi at the finals on Mirage which is even more impressive
It seemed like Liquid, who aren't a good tactical team, were too scared to play how they usually do (with the nerves of closing the map)
After a few rounds of them going for aggro picks and getting shut down, they tried to execute, but got hard countered by LG.
skillwise, i think Liquid is good enough to beat EU tier 1 teams ( which they did )
the problem lies within NA mentality ( as you can see on the major, even the fans are toxic ) no offense tho to you Americanos. cheers
i thought only Hiko that have good mentality
That's why Liquid can't close the map. lost 1-2 rounds in a row when they can win and their mental would broke.

I don't think adreN can come up to the level he performed this major again. It's not like igl duties were the only thing keeping away from performing at a pretty decent level. Even when he was in ibp with dazed as igl, he wasn't fragging out. I really hope he does prove me wrong though.
I don't really understand what you mean by "mentality." If you mean composure, I agree completely. They choked their two leads and gave up 15 match points. Since they never got to such a high placement for a tournament of this caliber before, I think the nerves got to them. LG have been in majors before and many big tournaments, so they can work from their experience and keep calm and grind out the rounds.KinkiN wrote:
the problem lies within NA mentality ( as you can see on the major, even the fans are toxic ) no offense tho to you Americanos. cheers
i thought only Hiko that have good mentality
As for the fans being toxic, I don't think it's fair to say that from the major, we can see NA fans are toxic. Literally every fanbase has toxic people in it. I thought the crowd showed a decent amount of respect for the other team. Of course, if you're going to play against a team from the home soil, you should expect the crowd to cheer against you.
Also, rip ex6
adreN usually only performs good in LAN. and Liquid only needs Hiko as in game caller (not IGL since they have coach James now ) so koosta is definitely a better choice. but now they have 2 heavy AWPers and that's the bad point.California wrote:
Liquid do have the firepower to beat a tier 1 team, but with the peaked adreN gone, koosta filling in, and nitr0 heavily underperforming, Liquid are in a gray zone rn

I think that Tarik is obv a better choice compared to koosta but yeah, atm Tarik is loyal for CLG
i'd rather call that as "mentality" not "composure", as i means it's their personality ( mental state ) that's badCalifornia wrote:

NA players tends to blame others ( teammates ) if they made mistakes. As you can see EU and SA teams hardly do that ( even if they do blame but not in extreme extent such as what NA team does )
and about the fans. if you heard that "na na na na hey hey hey goodbye " chant on fnc vs Astralis match, you would understand what i mean by "toxic" but i do agree not all of NA fans are toxic
( i mean i never heard that goodbye chant in Katowice nor Cologne lmao xD )
and last, ex6tenz. idk why the fak he's called as the best IGL in the world. imo a good IGL would have to be good at all aspects in the game ( strats, aim, and AWP so they can fill any role when a teammate dies ). Happy ( RiP EnVy no need to tell me that ) and Karrigan are good examples, but not ex6. both Happy and Karrigan knew how to use their teammates correctly, ex6 doesn't
pls gib me pins i will pay with skins ty :"(
source for this? I've never seen any interviews where pros talk about teammates blaming each other often. The few times when team comms were released, it seemed pretty okay iirc. I believe the most recent comms were from the first esl esea finals which showed all of c9's comms. I haven't watched it for a while, but I don't remember anything particularly bad.KinkiN wrote:

He's really only called the best IGL in the world by a small group of people, namely Thoriin, who basically idolizes him. I just feel sad for the pros who were at the top of the scene in the early days drop off so much (rip nip, vp, vg, hr)KinkiN wrote:

edit: Liquid also need to prove themselves DH malmo that the run at MLG Columbus was not a one time thing...pls dont' be like c9's summer run
I watched a lot of NA streams and POVs. I know i can't compare faceit league with their own pro teams but yeahCalifornia wrote:

Liquid vs LG dude potentially. this is the last chance for Liquid to prove themselves. I'm LG fanboi though so i will root for LG
I really like LG, but there's just something about coldzera that really tilts me for some reason. Just looking at his face puts me on tilt. Next thing I know, I'm rooting for the other team.
you spelled it wrong. it's GODzeraCalifornia wrote:

Really glad to see NiP finally win one after such a long time
so today, Inferno was taken out from Active Duty map and Nuke was readded. Inferno was one of my fav maps so this is clearly a sad news for me (besides i can't really play nuke lol sad life)
and Prime Matchmaking. it's still have flaws but i think it's a correct step to deny the smurfies and cheaters
what do you guys think about today's update?

Inferno is probably my most played map and I get 10~20 fps on new nuke
S1mple leaves liquid to moves back to EU
Prime MM sounds good in practice, but haven't tried it yet
Overall a pretty shitty day man

Why do NORMAL difficulty bots ALWAYS do ridiculously well against me (human player), like killing me with shotgun headshots from 200 units away repeatedly while I'm running with a knife, prefiring around a corner with a 5-7 and always land headshot with the first bullet, totally obliterating my existence with a UMP from 300 units away in less than a second before I can even spot their pixel size presence while I'm in mid-air jumping from crate to crate etc. But when bots face off against bots, they both look at each other, stand completely still for 2 seconds, proceeds to purposely aiming the crosshair outside of each others' hitbox, then act like retards, couldn't even hit each other with 50 bullets of full Negrev spam at almost point blank range down a tight narrow hallway while both of them are standing absolutely still. :X Do bots have a special hate for humans or something?
BOT aims are pretty damn accurate (even easy bots) what make them difference is likely the time they will kill you. e.g maybe easy bots will kill you with hs 5 secs after you encounter them and expert bots will kill you 2 secs after you encounter themHe Ang Erika wrote:

basically, you just have to kill the bot faster.
And i think nowdays most SE players can hold a positive k/d rating against hard/expert bots so make sure you practice more!
and stop using ump and negev against bots, it's best to use AK or M4 against bots, for practice purposes
This game is so fun but I'm not experienced at FPS games so yeah, I mostly get rekt every game but I'm learning bit by bit and I'm having fun while doing it.
i actually managed to play deathmatch with my toaster internet. it'll probably be another 5 years before i play cs again.
i really do miss playing comp games with the other 4 retards i always play with.
