I think Titan got replaced by a chinese team or something.
Honestly the only team worth betting on now are Fnatic, LDLC and Digs. Everyone else can throw or play like shit at any moment.
I will not. All I have left is a ST deagle hypnotic FN and a blue laminate AK lol
Anytime I put over $30 on a match, no matter who it is they always lose. I'd rather throw away my money opening cases, at least I have a chance to get another knife.
Plus with the quality of MM servers and amount of cheaters my interest in the game has only been going down. Valve just doesn't give a fuck about CS :|
I am sure Valve does care about CS impact. The reason why they will not have a really good anti cheat system is because of privacy reasons. They would need to different type of scans on your system which will most likely scan your personal files as well.
You will have to use paid services like ESEA in order to reduce the amount of cheaters that you face. But ESEA is not the best out there as well. A few weeks ago, a guy that was playing ESEA main was banned because he was cheating. The ESEA system was not able to detect that he was cheating, but the admins could tell, and he was banned. There are people out there that are selling undetectable cheats for like 600 to 1000 dollars.
So, the only way we would have an amazing anti cheat system would be to allow Valve to do additional scans that could potentially invade our privacy. But we know that won't happen so, we'll just have to find alternatives systems that reduce the likely chance of a person cheating.

The thing is, at LEM+ ranks there's a cheater in every other match. I'd rather have my privacy invaded by Valve and actually be able to enjoy the game. The way it is now, they're OK with it because the cheaters will get banned and give Valve another $15. It's all about the money for them which is why we're still playing on Kmart servers even though the game is raking in a ton of free cash for them. They don't care, at least not anywhere near the extent they care about Dota. I have fun with the game but I don't have fun constantly playing cheaters, or lighting a dude up with a clip and seeing blood all over just to see 1 hit 27 damage.
and ESEA is just terrible. Baiters baiting baiters just to boost their stats up. Yea I wanna pay $6 a month to get baited by shitties.

I think it's bullshit how there aren't 128tick servers. Just make an option. On the same screen where we pick maps, have a box that says 64tick and 128tick. Have a disclaimer that says if you struggle to get a certain framerate that you should not play it as it would not be optimal.
I would get ESEA but I don't think I'm good enough. I feel like I would ruin the game by being as useless as seangares to whatever team I was on.
I had no idea cheats were that expensive. that's ridiculous, you might as well play a different game if you're that bad you need to spend that much to make the game enjoyable.

I think you will have a better experience if you play on services like ESEA with friends impact. I do understand that it is all about the money for them, and that they should upgrade their servers to 128 tickrate. The problem is that it will probably get more expensive for them. They could just make their competitive servers 128 tick, but I guess not a lot of people are complaining about it so, they won't do it any time soon.
Also, I realize that you guys might not care about privacy, but the majority do care, and it will put Valve in bad spotlight. So, I don't think that they will take that chance.

Quick question. In CS:GO, how do you get keys without paying for them? It seems like other players are selling keys, so does that mean they are random drops? I don't quite understand how that works. Clarification would be great.
you buy them or trade for them
I'm not exactly sure why they're on the marketplace. something about it being cheaper in russia i think
The only way to get keys is to buy them in the CSGO menu. The keys you see people selling on Marketplace come from there as well. There is no way of getting keys from drops.

Thanks for the quick replies. I was looking to pick up CS:GO just to muck about it, but I'm definitely not getting on that valve treadmill. I don't support those business practices so unfortunately i'm out.

You don't support them selling cosmetic items?

keys and skins are optional?
i use default on all my guns besides galil
Yeah I also use default on everything except on my Famas I use the pulse skin. Although I just won a darkwater m4a1-s, so I may start using that too.
lol. the only skins i would use would be fire serpent, howl, dragon lore
unfortunately for me, two of those i'll never get. I'm not Cro and my luck is terrible
You gotta aim lower man.. your desires are way too high.
I see what you did there. Compensating for the recoil so your bullets go towards the head.
You know you play too much CSGO when...

Up to Master Guardian II, just one rank away form my goal of double ak!
Fnatic > property
Epsilon < Hr (however there is a lot of value for a small bet on epsilon so try that)
Nip > hr (the nip odds are way too good you don't see them at 50% very often and its cache HR struggles on T side and Nip is very good on CT.)
ESC < DAT (wouldn't touch if I was u)
Fnatic < dig { wouldn't touch if I was u. Dig is very strong inferno team but so is Fnatic)
Titan < ldlc (wouldn't touch if I was u)

Pretty much, except NiP HR is such a toss up. Bothe teams are really inconsistent, especially NiP in recent times, while I feel HR has been getting better but they still often struggle to close out games and rely heavily on the daily form of players like markeloff und kucher. What is maybe important is that NiP NEED the win to secure their spot in the LAN finals, so maybe they will be extra motivated.
I honestly don't know if I should bet at all today.
It's completely oldschool hitscan. No worries about physics, but you gotta learn the spray patterns of guns to be effective with the recoil.
I was thinking about this the other day but is it possible (even through a bot) to land every bullet in the spary in the exact spot? I mean like flicking the mouse like crazy so they land in the same spot.
There is super minor RNG variation to the patterns, but they are overall very consistent and worth learning the major movement of a spray pattern.
I would say:
Fnatic > Property
Epsilon < HR (don't see Epsilon winning with the way both teams are playing atm)
NiP > HR (toss-up, even though HR slaughtered Titan yesterday, NiP can always take it on a good day)
ESC > dAT (underdoge bet of the day. ESC won the last bo1 on Nuke against dAT)
Fnatic > Dig (No Fetish, no party. Would have gone for Dig if the whole team played, since Dig is pretty good on Inferno just like Fnatic)
Titan < LDLC (Titan playing awful after their winning one small tournament)
Let's go guys! :d
Property > Fnatic (ICB bet worth it with those odds. Property went close with Mouz so there is a small upset potential)
HR = NIP(Currently on HR but will see how they perform against Epsilon before deciding)
Fnatic > Dignitas(Would be close if Fetish was playing but he's not)
LDLC > Titan(Titan hasn't played Overpass according to HLTV and their recent performance has been awful)

-.- how did I not notice this, from looking at total of the skins!
