And this is exactly the point with smurfs in MM. I understand that you want to avoid cheaters in higher ranks.
How you feel about ESEA/Faceit, playing with lower ranks is exactly how I feel about MM when playing against smurfs.
I understand why you are smurfing. I think, however, that most smurfs do it for the lulz, boosting, etc.
Just to clarify, I see that smurfs (like you) are not the cause for bad MM but just a symptom of shitty anti-cheat...
wow 2 people didnt enter and that's all of us. k, mein fuhrer.
Idk how to put an o'umlaut
You have one.
Ask littleworm he seems to love h1z1 and from what I heard DayZ is still a buggy mess.
I know.. still jelly? :-D
I'm hesitant to buy H1Z1 because it will be F2P eventually. And yea, DayZ is a bloody mess from what I been reading/watching. I love watching FRANKIEonPCin1080p DayZ Youtbe videos - he's making me want the game so badly.
1st world problems.
Really? Are you kidding me?
I'd like to see Fnatic get eliminated after that watching that video...
I better see CS-GAF Steam chat getting some <3. I always enjoy partaking in it :-D
Depends on what kind of gameplay you like. H1Z1 runs well, is very arcade-y, has a tiny map, very limited player model render distance, little variety in items and has base building. DayZ runs like shite if you're in cities, is very realistic, has a huge map, allows you to see players from miles away, has a ton of different items but barely has any sort of persistence like H1Z1 does.
Both can be a lot of fun for different reasons. Also, Frankie's DayZ videos are not an accurate representation of what playing the game is like. Crazy stuff can definitely happen, but 90% of the game is running around trying to find loot.

Whoa.
lol.
What rank are you? I have about 500-600 hours. I dont know how much afk this guy was, but his game had 225 hours over a 2 week span. That equates to ~16 hours a day. WTF
Me?
Gold Nova 2 with 75 wins. I play alot of casual on friendly community servers.
Good enough for me. Check PM
Was going to do the raffle but hey you took time to say me so what the hell.
Nv or Titan? Leaning NV but not that sure.
Small bet on LGB is also tmepting vs Penta
And I think HR will beat CLG
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU....a lot is an utterly ginormous understatement. As long as you are enjoying yourself I suppose
Yay, thanks! I scrolled past that post and expected someone else to have responded to it but no one had and I heard the game is dope. Also no PM in my inbox. :c
Wtf I sent it... Hmmm you on steam right now? I'll just try there

I think it's time to start thinking about betting. Might do sort of a brain storm with some people I know.
The games schedule couldn't be worse, games at 12h and such.

Tbh, I always thought the nolurkers rule was a bit lax. Should be more than 5 posts. Like 30 posts or bust.
Hey guys.
I started watching games 2 weeks ago... and betting, of course. And after tonight's game (mouz vs CW) i thought "oh maybe there's GAFfers who are into that kinda stuff. And here you are.
So just wanted to say hi, whine a little and hopefully read some good posts/info/thought about betting and CS:GO in general

Someone convince me not to buy my first set of keys and open some cases. I have terrible luck and know this will be a waste of money. I'm kinda half proud of my never opening a case streak but lately I've been tempted.

Don't buy keys, it's not woth it the odds are just not in your favor.
But the group stages is the best time to beat as long as you don't bet on favorites. Only need a few wins to profit and it's bo1 so a lot of "upsets" happen because people don't realize every team can take 1 map from each other.

My lack of betting skins makes me want to skip.
And they are favorites for some reason :|

Go play the csgo case opening game on the web. That will simulate the experience.
Still a great giveaway though. Forgot to enter for this one, but it's still appreciated.

Group stages are always good for underdoge bets, since they're bo1.
