I am stuck at DMG on my main because solo que is terrible, playing with my friends who cap at MG1-2, I get usually 80-90 points a game, I think and people have said I could rank up to eagles but I seem stuck, anyone else in a similar position?

how to git gud

Idea to reduce smurfing

Why not do matchmaking based on rank AND hours spent ingame?

Sounds like a good idea to me.

Release Notes for 10/20/2015

20 Oct 2015 -

[DreamHack Cluj-Napoca 2015]

– Team stickers and stickers autographed by professional CS:GO players are now available for purchase.

For details visit: http://www.counter-strike.net/pickem/cluj2015

– Tournament stickers can be used as game pieces in the two Cluj-Napoca Tournament games:

— Fantasy Team Game: Compete against the global CS:GO community to win a Fantasy Trophy by building your dream CS:GO roster and achieving one of the top scores in the all new Fantasy Team Game.

— Pick’Em Challenge: Earn a Pick’Em Trophy by choosing the winning teams for each match throughout the Tournament. The more correct choices, the better the trophy!

[MAPS]

Mirage

– Fixed some exotic spots where C4 could get stuck (Thanks amitkilo!)

– Moved palmtree behind ticketbox slightly, to make CTs easier to see.

Train

– Fixed a spot where C4 could get stuck on A site

– Fixed an unintended boost in A site

How does this happen?

So I reached MGII after starting out in Silver 2 about 500 hours ago. I just deranked to MGI but recently, this happened. How do I do decently against LE and DMG (apart from the fact I have a SMFC with good tactics on my team) but can't seem to get past MGII? I was basically on a rank up spree when I got out of Silver which took up a good… 350 hours of my time in CSGO. Got to Gold Nova about then, and climbed up to MGII and now I'm stuck here like I was in SEM.

ESL Pro League

What's your choice to-win?

>mfw I go so ham and frag so hard but in the end it doesn't even matter

Anybody looking for a knife for cheap?

I found an M9 Bayonet Night for under $100

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001608OMO/

Or a Huntsman Night under $50

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00629W99I/

Don't tell Valve, or they might ban it.

>be dmg

>reverse smurf to GE

>"your walls hacks are so obvious, just go full blatant bro you're not fooling anyone"

I feel so giddy and happy

How does the ELO system work?

So CS:GO is my first CS game and I've played about 400 hours(including fucking around on community servers) and I have 149 competitive wins but I'm only a SEM. Am I just shitty at the game or average?

>tfw at work and all I can think about is going back home to play CS

A Message from /tf2/

Hello CSfags, I'm the BO from >>>/tf2/. You see, we are much alike, we're both boards for Valve games, we both have autistic communities, and both have cosmetic shit only made so our money can stuff Gabe Newell's fat rolls. Why not we join our two dead boards together in a board ring of sorts?

KILL HUNTERS

I have a theory, people who top frag by a large margin actually make teams weaker. I've noticed that when I get queued with players who have ADHD pushing tendencies (normally fucking french canadians, 13 year olds, or SA's), I lose a lot more, but they always seem to top frag, or come close. This made me think, "How is it that they get all these kills, but we don't win?" And I thought of this theory-shit.

I think the reason for this is related to risk versus reward, and the inherent value on a single player. First I'd like to discuss inherent value, and how it plays in to this. At the beginning of the round, CT players are inherently more valuable than T players. Why? Because they are on the defensive side, and that gives them the elements of 1) surprise, and 2) control, and 3) information. This is why, in fair games, it takes all 5 T players to take a site, despite the fact that there may only be 2 CT's guarding it. Thus, CT players are greatly more valuable than T players, in some circumstances 1 CT could have a value exceeding three times that of a T. This value system reverses when T's take a site, and then become the defensive force.

Next is risk versus reward. When a CT player decides to leave a site, or make a risky push (all pushes on CT are risky by the way), he will almost never get reward that is worth the risk he is taking on. Why? Because he is putting himself in a position that decreases his value to the team, he is giving up the defensive edge and lowering the total number of CTs on the site. Should he die, even if he were to take 2 T's with him, he leaves one site vulnerable, or even free for the taking. That last sentence is the key to the topfragger effect, see, if he fucks your team over for a quick impulsive kill hunt, and does this routinely, it is likely that he will end up at the top of the scoreboard, and the cost of your site holding ability. This player may get kills, but don't be fooled, its not skill that gets him those kills, its purely the nature of the game, and that fact that he is in essence stealing potential kills from his team mates (who he will later get angry at and call GG noob team in all chat) like some kind of game ruining vampire faggotlord. The argument can be made that kill hunting gets the team information, and this is true to an extent, but It gives the terrorists information as well, it tells them that one of the sites is missing a player, and on most maps it's very easy to pinpoint which one. Furthermore, any information you get from kill hunting is on the table for both teams. To explain what that means, simply, the enemy KNOWS what you know, this essentially makes what you know worthless. Thus, kill hunting will not improve your sense of information, it will only decrease your site holding power, unless you manage to kill more than a CT is worth, which is very very unlikely. Thus, kill hunt pushes should be avoided, unless you either have all the information you need to make a risk-less push, or desperately need information you're lacking. When you REALLY need information, for instance if two team mates get picked, and you need to rotate to a site before the enemy gets there, information pushes are okay. Pushes for information will temporarily decrease your worth, and make you vulnerable, but if you don't die and move back into the site right after, the knowledge you gain may give your team a massive advantage. As a side note, the same applies to T side after a bomb plant, don't fucking leave the site unless its so guard the site from a safer position. Seriously, leaving the site fucks everyone, its the same as kill hunting, and as a side side note, one sure fire way to spot a kill hunter or baiter (the baiter will go hide in a corner, the kill hunter will go run at the enemy) is to see who leaves a site first after the bomb is planted. I could write all day long about my burning hate for baiters, but that's more theory shit and a lot more hate for me to write out.

To end, TL;DR, anybody can fucking kill hunt, you're not a special snowflake whos just too good for his rank, you're there for a reason, and that reason is you're a motherfucker who should be dragged through the street and stoned to death like the piece of human shit you are, THE GAME OF CS:GO DOES NOT REVOLVE AROUND FUCKING KILLS, IT IS A GAME ABOUT PLANTING A BOMB AND YOU NOT UNDERSTANDING THAT IS FUCKING YOUR TEAM

TL;DR 2 (for people who aren't kill hunters)

Remember never to push unless its absolutely necessary, and the safest way to rotate is through your spawn. Even though playing smart can be boring, if you're playing to win then it is the only way. Furthermore, in a bait-free killhunter-free game, everyone's scores should be close together (except the B site player, he gets to sit out on the site nobody cares about while everyone else plays because hes the weird kid ); )

Post your dank meme guns.

Late night cs

I recently got into csgo despite prepurchasing and hating it years ago, but I've noticed that in MM late night NA games are much more bro-tier and relaxed than regular daytime/evening games.

I always tend to do better and have a lot more fun late night than the day. it's to the point where i don't like playing before 12am

has anyone else noticed this?

>bloodhound's over

This sucks. I enjoyed playing this group of maps on casual because they were bright and vibrant. A nice change from the brown and bloom, and the orange from Dust.

Phoon is GONE!

WHERE THE FUCK IS PHOON'S CHANNEL

So Valve is trying to tell people what to do on their own servers.

Telling them to remove plugins that let you use their shitty skins

How does this make you feel

Truths about CS:GOfuckyourself

>1) Tec 9's only weakness is that the CT team can pick it up

>2) Sawed off shotgun's secret is that its loaded randomly with blank rounds, which is why is never seems to hit anybody

>3) The reason you always seem to leave people with 97 HP is because the game designers hate you

>4) Weapon crates are designed to addict you, not even kidding look it up, they're designed to reward you just enough to keep you coming back, its an extension of B.F. Skinner's work on behavior and reinforcement

>Valve keeps smurfs and hackers around because they're big spenders

>Valve doesn't spend money or time on matchmaking because they don't have to, they cater to the casual market, and the cost of server upgrades would only benefit the top 10% or so of players, the only players who notice or care, and the only players who will stick around indefinitely

>Every weapon update is either horrible or unnecessary

>50% of the guns in the game are objectively worse than other guns in the game OBJECTIVELY WORSE

shitposting about bad games

I really need to vent, I'm so fucking mad right now. Here it goes.

>shitty three stack

>none of them calling strats

>constantly telling me and other guy to keep a positive attitude to win

>me and random exchanging ideas for plays, deciding what we'll do and asking the stack if they're down with it

>stack never replies, tells us to 'keep a positive attitude' until we win

>all three members of the stack DC at one point to 'reboot'

>round 13 they try to kick the other random

>"dude kick this kid hes toxic"

>"yeah this guy is toxic as fuck"

>"fuck this toxic kid dude"

>vote no

>nerd rage imminent

>down 0-14 T side nuke

>one of the three man freaks the fuck out and mutes everyone, calls us "toxic"

>the rest of the three stack spaz out on mic "THESE KIDS ARE TOXIC AS FUCK WE'RE JUST GOING TO PLAY AS OUR OWN TEAM AND WIN"

>three stack walks outside without smoke, dies, leave bomb in an unreachable position

>random gets a kill on ramp

>gets another kill on B

>I buy an awp, get out of spawn late, head for ramp

>3k their team, one heaven, one in vent (noscope) and one on B ramps

>three stack chimping out the halftime chat saying I 'baited them' and that 'these guys are so toxic'

>me and random Molotov ourselves until the game is over

>having the only sheriff's star, I tell my team that I'm the sheriff and they can't tell me what to do

>they call me toxic

>I call them toxic

>we lose

16-1, I thought this shit would stop after the nova ranks, what the fuck. And what the fuck is toxic? Is that some way of calling someone a noob and not look like an idiot when you're doing way worse than they are?

Sorry for this massive shitpost, I'm really mad about this, match making really fucked me today. I guess make this a shitposting about bad team threads?

>He uses the zeus

Babby can't get a knife?

AMD Driver Update Reduces Input Lag

AMD's newest driver release (meant primarily to accommodate the launch of Windows 10) also includes a game profile optimization that reduces input lag in CS:GO.

>Performance Optimizations

>Counter-Strike® : Global Offensive - Profile change to reduce Flip Queue Size - improves the latest positional information from the keyboard and mouse.

So in other words, if you weren't using an extra program (such as Radeon Pro) to change the Flip Queue Size, then you were getting an extra frame or two's worth of input lag while playing CS:GO. The new driver will fix it for you.

COMEBACK TIME

Will the old item drop system come back or will we get nothing but cases now except for the weekly shitty base grade item?

South-American players are by far the most selfish horrible and intolerable people I've ever met. When will valve just IP ban the fuckers from NA servers?

Mouse Tips?

Hi /cs/, I was advised to disable the "Pointer Precision" setting in Win7 but ended up struggling tremendously to frag in DM. The way I aim without pointer precision on is entirely new to me, to the point where I cannot get used to spraying. Will I reach a higher skill ceiling by leaving the setting off and relearning muscle memory?

Also, mouse settings thread in general.

How can they make the M249 not shit? Is there ANY WAY? What niche can it even fill, there really is no weapon the M249 can replace. Its slow, has a shit spray pattern, about the same damage as an M4, low running accuracy, and it costs more than an AWP. You would be better off with a tec9 or a five seven. They should buff it or remove it, fuck that shit gun.

thank u freakazoid

>tfw people are telling you that they are going to play "serious" now

8chan CSGO Team

well i got bored and created an 8chan group on steam, we could use it to discuss betting, trades and have our own team. if we wanted to we could play against other websites. (ex:4chan, hltv, fragbite, CEVO, Faceit,) Like what they do in the staff Cup. here is a link https://steamcommunity.com/groups/FullChan

Why is it that the USA CSGO teams suck?

I want to cheer for the best country not some cucked commies.

But seriously when watching NA games, they are so bad I could easily see myself playing with them and not having any problems.

>mfw playing csgo on 144hz monitor

Reaction/funny pics

So where would I start with actually training? I need to find a coach? Somewhere I should start reading up on guides?

Solo queuing, csgo despair

I've think I'm fucking done with cs go. Now I've lost 4 matches in a row, 3 in one day because of shit team members. I was top fragging in every one of those games.

The first match we had this stupid eastern European faggot spouting "noob" all the time while bottom fragging until he was kicked, after that we did very well and could have tied the match.

The second one really pissed me off were I was put on a team with 2 british mge smurfs who where trying to throw the match on purpose to rank down, I seriously hope they fucking die, i really do I hope everything bad in the world happens to those cheeky cunts.

The last match was fair game, but I was teamed up with guys who didn't even call.

I think I'm fucking done with this fucking game since thinks like autistic players, European faggot sounding players and shitty skilled smurfing throwing games are fucking ruining my fucking day.

I know that I'm better than nova 2, but I will never reach my real skill level just from grinding up in match making. Every arena I go to I rek these cheeky british mge cunts.

Ever since I started playing csgo I've developed so much hate and get so triggered by certain types of accents, nationalities and people.

I'm thinking about just giving up cs go permanently and selling all my skins.

What's the best way to start aiming for the head without active thought process?

I've moved up a few ranks and I'm hitting the point where I need to start going for headshots. I've been practicing the actual act of aiming for the head and hitting it, but I've been struggling to apply it in a live game situation. I always find myself either dying because I'm going through the active thought process of aiming for the head, or relying on my 'autopilot', where I end up aiming for center of mass.

Is my best option just to play casual and aim for the head actively until I hit the point of aiming for the head subliminally?

CS:GO is the ultimate MOBA

Just want to point out CS:GO fits all the criteria for a MOBA.

>3 lane maps designed with top lane, mid lane, and bottom lane

>5 v 5 against real players

mp4 unrelated I don't have any relevant cs thing to put there

>small rounds that make up 1 big match

>matches are ~45 minutes to 1 hour 15 minutes

>requires strategy and timing

>you purchase upgrades over the course of a match

>ranked matches in a competive setting

>cosmetic items that make no difference to gameplay

>objective based rounds that can end multiple ways

>teamwork is vital to winning

>lively competive scene

It's a moba.

Is there anything more satisfying than going into a pub and shitting on Novas and silvers all day?

I think I know why people smurf now

CS 1.6 servers mostly filled with bots?

I've occasionally been playing cs 1.6.

When I join the server I always get the feeling I'm playing with bots. I haven't played cs 1.6 in over a decade and every time I go on a random server I rek almost everyone, mostly because everyone else seem to be full retarded.

Can cs 1.6 servers be populated by bots with a ping? Or am I just against mindless players?

P.S. wallbanging is awesome and feels much better then getting a regular kill. I miss wallbanging.
