i haven't been playing for a while. maybe i'll get back when i feel like deranking
Elo changes, guys. That's why derank is easy (for now) and rank up is hard. But yeah, played a game yesterday and just screwed around. We got flanked a lot xD
I played it to much i think. stupid new ranks.
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:

hello
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...

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
play more with the awp and you will get used to itHakuhatsu wrote:

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
the more i train my AK and AWP aim, the more i suck at osu
the more i train my aim at osu, the more i suck at AK and AWP
can't we just have supreme osu! aim like cookiezi, AWP aim like kennyS and AK aim like flusha?

lmao, is the game even playable with that?

Anyone here watching MLG Columbus? How about that Fnatic vs TL game yesterday, what a game. adreN playing out of his mind

Easiest road to semis for NA, albeit that win against fnatic was pretty legit
Tell me about it. That was such a fantastic win. Although I think fnatic may have been suffering from jet lag issues, still a great win regardless!
omg liquid vs clg on cache
I came at least 4 times watching s1mple

Just want to say that Liquid threw against Luminosity T_T smh

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. :\

math fixing at the semi finals of a major? Highly doubtfulLambykinz wrote:

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.

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:

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:

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:

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
