Almost all of my LE+ friends got demoted to MG ranks, and even to Nova ranks. I was in LEM and now I'm MGE rip gg
it's alright. it just makes the higher ranks mean a lot more.Arthraxium wrote:

So I'm a newbie in this game
I see people AWP'ing while walking
as in they don't stay in one place but just walk around with it
Any tips to how they get 4 kills in a row while doing this?
I still don't understand how pple do this
is it that easy...
play more with the awp and you will get used to itHakuhatsu wrote:

math fixing at the semi finals of a major? Highly doubtfulLambykinz wrote:
So frustrating to watch... WarOwl actually did a video on the match, calling it the "biggest choke in CounterStrike history" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ElPvR3kupM
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. :\
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 rnKinkiN wrote:
skillwise, i think Liquid is good enough to beat EU tier 1 teams ( which they did )
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
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:

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'd rather call that as "mentality" not "composure", as i means it's their personality ( mental state ) that's badCalifornia wrote:

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.

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:
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

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:
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
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:

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:
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?
