France won Overpass 16-8.
Poland is winning Cobblestone 15-11 in an impressive comeback.

Wow, neat!
We're on in 10 mins. Hopefully WarOwl casts for us too and makes fun of us.
Friend is about to play in da tournament csgolounge: http://www.twitch.tv/goRGNtv
Man I don't see Rhythm winning that, but good luck to them.
Yeah, I don't expect them to win either. But it will fun to see anyways.
Maybe f0bless will carry them
Yeah maybe not. lolMaybe f0bless will carry them
What channel are these games being streamed on? Also my condolences.
So tonight WarOwl was casting (he will be during the main AHGL season, this was the last game of preseason) but the main guy has been Morril: http://www.twitch.tv/morril/profile
Got my hands on a blue laminate AK. It came with stickers and i'm not really liking the non holo dig one. Do you guys have any recommendations for stickers to throw on this?
Any sticker with blue in it really complements the colouring quite nicely. I have a Zombie Killer sticker on the front hand grip and it looks OK.
none

This. I had one with a bunch of C9 stickers on it that made it look alright.

I like stickers on my Jet Set, it's already covered in them, so might as well add some more!

Not a fan of most of the stickers. All I have is the "Sneaky Beaky Like" sticker on my M4A1
This. Honestly a lot of stickers just look plain bad.

So... who's betting high on Sweden vs Poland?

I microwave steaks.
The sneaky beaky sticker is great, I want to put it on all of my guns lol.

You can take stickers off, right? I know absolutely nothing about them.
Only stickers I like are some of the team ones and only if they're on a few spots like the scope of the awp.
Yep, there's an option to scratch them off.

Dude goes for a knife on a critical pistol round and we lose.
Neat.
Neat.
Could have been worse... he could have afked the whole round like a lot of my teammates decide to do.

i had almost the same shit happen in my match. I had an extra 9k and went to drop this guy an AK. Must have been Shadownet's alt because he would rather use an UMP.
comes down to a 2v2 and he's surrounded by AKs and M4s and just uses the ump against an AWPer, then tries to knife him just running straight at him.
Been so laggy the past couple of days so back to training modes for me! Hope my connection pulls through or I'm calling a technician up in the rain

So um, late to this probably, but I think I like the old train better. This one seems worse.
Anyone else feel this way?

I've not played on it much yet, but I like the changes to A site (more to move around and there's no longer 24525215 spots to check as T) and reducing the 3 A train tunnels to 2. I really like it so far, to be honest. I need to play more though.

-Hiko +Shahzam for C9 official

I like Shahzam, I've been following his channel for a while and he is a solid awper.
*edit* Also, adren joined Denial.

I'm too set in my ways in regards to the old Train's map design and map memory/movement. But after doing 100 rounds on PC for the Train Winning Rounds achievement, I've kinda come around to the new Train. The back/Terrorist Tunnels it still a mess, but it "feels" better for having even chances on both sides.
My only problem is climbing onto the train/bomb-sites. You have to get some speed to make the jump onto the "ledge" at times.
wow
so wait, what does sgares even do now?
They have to drop n0thing and pick up steel, and call themselves CloudS
Banned after he said he was legit in YT comments on that video. lol.

Apparently sgares has never really wanted to be an awper...so I guess he is going to be a rifler now.

hmmmm, who else? Dudes from torqued maybe?
Huh rumor turned out to be true but still why Hiko?

He stepped down, didn't really give much of a reason.

He is still on their roster as a stand-in until he finds another team.
"We know ShahZam has had an interesting and sometimes even questionable series of interactions within the community in the past."
What does this mean? Was he accused of making incendiary comments before? Hacking?
EDIT: Question for you guys. What's the best way to practise privately as a team of 5? Renting a server and kicking all of the bots on the other team?
I'm trying to get some better/smarter practise in with my AHGL team since we really fell apart tonight. If we knew our positioning better, who would play X better, and so on, I think we might've won more rounds at least.
We can't Comp MM effectively since some of our guys are really high ranks, whereas I'm a GN3 and some guys I play with are unranked still.
That's strange.. Maybe he needed time for his competitive eating career?
Shaxam is kinda viewed as an ass on the scene and someone people wanna punch.

He has been known to stir the pot on occasion, he once told Richard Lewis that iBP and NCG were match fixing.

This was never proven though.

when making strats/gameplan you shouldn't worry about killing anything. Just load up a casual match, set the timer to 60 minutes and kick bots. Tell each other what angles you're gonna hold, who is gonna smoke where and when should the second guy throw his smoke so that you both don't waste your smoke at the same spot and same time.
Say you're getting pushed on banana, the two guys need to communicate on where they're falling back (and you better be falling back) and set it up in a way that makes sense. Maybe a guy is spools and baits the enemy so a guy at 1st box can just peak out and get the kills. Don't run to 1st and 2nd box, doesn't accomplish anything.
if you want to peek, work on a teammate throwing it and the other guy knowing when the right moment to peek is. On CT the guys at a site need to be on the same page. They need to know what the other guy is doing and watching without him having to say what hes doing.
For T side you can just work on your smokes and stuff like knowing who checks which corners. If you guys are making a B push on Inferno, not everyone needs to check 1st box and spools. People should be checking second box, new box and/or dark spot.
also watch pro demos. See what a team like LDLC or NiP does, understand why they do it and implement it into your own game.
edit - if this is too tryhard then just be like "bruh im watching A main you watch squeaky" and rely on aim.
