You can sell crates on the steam market. Haven't done any missions in a couple of weeks so I can't really answer that question, worked fine for me last time though.

I think there's a bug with some deathmatch missions right now, at least there was a few days ago.

I hope Kabum can raise the funds to go, can we get a GoFundMe going for them? I'd like to see the brazilian scene given a chance at ESL :D

There was a topic on reddit yesterday about them trying to raise enough money to go. Don't know how much they actually need though.

2mrw games for the qualifier all look straightforward only possuble upsets I can see are :
Neophye>flipsid3 (neophyte are a good team keep an eye out for them in the future along with unleashed)
Bzsx>3dmax (love bz line up)
Puta>lgb (it has a shot just by the experience of the line up)
I don't expect anyone to upset tho. Well maybe one team but know knows which one that will be.
Fm's mix isn't the best so I don't expect any upset.

Man every single MM I've done for the past week has either had a cheater on my team, a cheater on the other team, or someone trying to lose/derank themselves.

I wish there was another FPS to play on any fucking platform. This game is dildos. Straight dildos.

My friend said they should make it so you can't derank, which would fuck over scrubs that got boosted and the "road 2 silver lolol" griefing pieces of shit. I think it's a good idea.

Yeah I have started to play Faceit instead of MM as it's much better than MM so far at least. What are you guys betting on today?

I'm betting medium 3DMAX > BZSX as they looked strong against Chosen and they should be able to beat a mixteam as long as they veto maps like d2. Also put a small on ESC > NAVI because of Starix potentially getting kicked which should affect their teamwork.

I put another small bet on publiclir as Orbit just changed their IGL so there is a strong upset potential. Finally I put a medium on ESC > Mouz as they are a strong Overpass team and Mouz maybe kicking Troubley soon.

LOL is this a serious response? Imagine if the NFL just bans the next guy who knocks his wife out in an elevator for only 3 games. "Well Ray Rice was first so we had to be more harsh on him." A throw is a throw is a throw is a throw. Ban them all indefinitely or ban them all for a year. Playing favorites just makes Valve seem like an even bigger joke.


and I just signed up for faceit since MM is unplayable, I dunno how it works though. here is my profile how do I add friends

Epsilon aren't "the next guy" since they did this before the IBP bans. The situation with IBP was a lot more organized and they denied right up until they got banned. At least Epsilon started to come clean (with the help of a little snitching) before there was hard evidence against them.

Trust me, I think both should be lifetime but the IBP one was definitely worse. I don't see how Valve is playing favorites since they're NA based but whatever lol. Biggest joke is people trying to petition to shorten the bans of the players who showed zero respect for their fanbase. Even if they get unbanned after a year, I hope Valve doesn't say shit to them to get their hopes up until that year is up. And takes all their skins. And forces them to use defaults. :)

People are going into this very scammy looking site which supposedly lets you spin a wheel and get free cs go goodies...
The backslash for this could be of epic scale.

Just looked up ticket prices and holy BALLS. It costs 2,000+ a person roundtrip from Brazil to Katowice, that's 12,000 just for airfare... Valve kicked in, what, 3,750 per team or something? Damnnnn.

Also, just found out my monitor can run at up to 100Hz....so I just switched it from 60 to 85...the difference is immediate O_O

Time to see if it improves my game ;D

“Thirty minutes before game time Sam messaged us and brought up the odds he had seen on CS:GO Lounge,” Pierce says. “He was saying to us how much we could make if we threw the game. At first I thought it was a troll. NetcodeGuides was going well for him, he didn’t need the money. Then he kept bringing it up and saying that we should do it. We realized he was being serious.”

What about that screams "organized" to you?

So I've done it, I've managed to go from £30 to £113 in the space of 2 weeks!

I've managed to get myself a MW Fire Serpent AK47!

Next mile stone is to get FT Howl or a decent fade!

We only know one match that was fixed, the ncg one. I don't think that hyphen match with steel was a throw, that was just a match with ridiculous odds that was begging for a huge bet. There are a couple people that I know through a friend that 5x-10x underdogs if they think odds are worth it.

Sure, swag and a couple players seem to have harsh bans but it's not like they're going to pay back the tens of thousands of people they screwed over, many of which being fans. Like I said, Epsilon at least somewhat came clean even if their hand was forced. Nobody on IBP stepped up until bans were handed out.

What? GMX only "stepped up" because he was quitting the game and was pissed about being released from Epsilon.

Decided to make a few bets today. I will regret it, but the odds are too good. After yesterday's performance against nV, i think GPlay could have a good shot against a short handed fnatic and the ESC vs Navi odds are great for ESC. Navi is reeling and ESC is moving to a new org and want to impress.

Someone talk me out of it if you think i'm nutty.

Good bets. I went with chw over fnatic and Betty on gplay depending on how the odds change. Krimz isn't paying

For the record, I have no skins over $5 and I am using two dreamhack winter stickers. I think my total betting value is at $3.

I think I'd have better luck just buying a mid-tier skin and betting with it versus trying to open cases

Nobody was even talking about Epsilon throwing until he brought it up. Wasn't some outsider leaking info. fxy0 admitted and apologized pretty quickly too. Went a lot smoother than IBP lol.

Don't see why everybody is so eager to have a few players getting a shorter ban. Game is growing everyday and they'll be replaced soon enough.

If Valve did anything wrong it's not handing out more "indefinite bans" to the Epsilon players too, not avoiding putting a ban expiration date for the IBP guys.
