Every time CSGO hits the front page on reddit it's for something bad. 
Well its almost 12 in Sweden so if there's a remake it would have to be tomorrow
This made me laugh.

I seen that in one of my soloque.
You needed half-life up to 1.6 iirc. With 1.6 Valve forced CS over to Steam which everyone hated because Steam was a piece of shit back then.

I looked at the other evidence prior to posting.
Also, jumping to say what others have seen isn't good for debating.
Pretty much what other users have been trying to tell you on the official dreamhack thread.

To others interesting in the debate about Fnatic, the official thread has a lot more info.

When did the baguettes become good in CS anyway? At least up until 2005 (when I stopped following the pro teams/tournaments) the french were a joke and never got close to winning the big tournaments. Probably most tier 2 teams in Sweden were better back then.
A lot of those dudes came from Source I think.

ThAt first switch to steam was horrible. Then a bit later using xfire because steam friends was always brokenHow many "real" veterans of cs do we have here anyway? I'm talking WON and pre 1.0 cs here
I remember when guns stayed on the ground between rounds in the early versions (like pre-beta 5 or so) of the mod. Also, APC's and other vehicles and later on the riot/bulletproof shield (that didn't stay for long lol). People were pissed when Valve forced them to go over to steam if they wanted to play CS.
I had a steam account made on the day steam released but it got stolen at some point when my e-mail was hacked
Horseshit. Should be a Disqualify.
Can't say I agree with the desicion but hey more cs why not.
Should start at 13-3 honestly. I know they used the boost on pistol round but they need to be punished for that bs...even if they didnt know it was against the rules.
Swedish team in Sweden can't be too harsh :/
NBK saying on Twitter fnatic got to stay at the venue with the admins while they were sent to the hotel

Shit ain't over yet! Fnatic following with a counter complaint for ldlc boost.

Do they have to replay the whole map? If so that is complete bullshit.

Wow can't believe they can get away with this bs. That's not impartial at all!
Be a little professional DH and send Fnatic packing. Like this kind of behavior would be allowed in any other kind of sport.
Also, looks like I won that Ak! Woohoow!

What exactly did LDLC abuse?
With smithzz boost they were also able to see through geometry. (They didn't use it but it was there)
I'm rooting for Fnatic here so yeah...
can you show us? I dont follow or understand how its fair to make LDLC replay the entire game if there is a boost they didnt even use during the match?

What a fucking joke. Fnatic is truly scum of the professional scene.
I liked them a while back ago but things are getting ridiculous, LDLC had the game in the bag.
The bias is strong.

What a joke. LDLC would've won the match no doubt after winning that pistol round.
You don't say.

Been having a rubberbanding problem out of nowhere lately when I play CS.
Usually starts towards the last half of the game. I thought it was a server issue, but even in some casual games it does it too.
Might have to blow out my computer because of dust or something also maybe.
But anyway, I came across this little fix that has to do with audio drivers.
http://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffen...ntial_fix_for_those_experiencing_fps_lag_and/
I guess the old audio drivers are taxing on the CPU and can cause some stuttering for a quick second or two.
I'm in the midst of updating the drivers to see if there is a difference and will report back if it helps. But for anyone else with this problem, this might be the solution.

Here's the boost that Fnatic claimed LDLC were abusing

In the red box, you can see through a wall and see terrorists at T spawn. It's a bullshit tactic because smithzz didn't use it for that, there's no info to be gained from being able to see that. In olof's spot, you can see T side canal, construction, and that middle area in front of connector/restrooms very clearly. Fnatic's entire CT side was based off rotates that olof called via the boost.

It's stupid in the first place that the judgement took 6 hours to call on LDLC's objection. The ruling should've been out right as the match was live and seeing how that boost gave Fnatic a huge advantage on the map.

Even stupider than that was that fnatic's complaint was apparently answered in 30 minutes.
I think you guys are misunderstanding why the decision took as long as it did. Because the rules that spread were old, pixelwalking was not the actual issue. It then moved on to texture transparency and being immortal from several angles. I guess they tested it in-game and couldn't kill smithzz from a few angles? I'm not saying I agree with the decision, but to outright say this is an open and shut case is oversimplifying what actually went on here.
There are obviously a lot of extraneous outside factors that don't help Fnatic's case, but as the actual tournament director you have to look at the rules specifically. Yes, Smithzz' position isn't as OP as olofm, yes he didn't use it to get illegal information through transparent textures, but if a single round presented itself whereby a Fnatic member tried to kill him, and he was immortal but he killed that Fnatic member? Would that be enough? Would the possibility of that simply happening, be enough?

How the hell isn't it an open and shut case? LDLC's boost didn't give them 3-advantage spots to look down on. Fnatic's gave them nearly the entire map to view. How is that not breaking?
Crimsonclaw111 said:
That, too. What the hell? Why was Fnatic allowed to sit with the judges when LDLC didn't have the same courtesy?
Like someone on Twitter said: A five year old could've easily made that judgement call as soon as Fnatic used that boost and what it entailed over about 2-3 rounds MAX before disqualifying Fnatic on it.
