I don't know if anyone saw Freakazoid's stream right now but he got 59 kills in a MM.
I thought ok nothing special playing against silvers but in the end everyone else on the server was Eagle and one or two DMG. Like I still can't believe how that's possible. Those guys were playing like the biggest scrubs out there. I know ranking up got easier but not that much that gold novas can suddenly be Eagle.
His teammates who were also eagle were aiming like they just bought the game.
I always thought people who say NA eagle is like EU double AK were bullshitting but I don't know anymore man, that was even worse.
it's the new ranking system, not US players being bad. Valve is making everyone feel like they're getting better/good at the game but in reality they suck just as much as they did last month. It reminds me of those kids soccer leagues where every player even on the losing team gets a trophy.
but don't get it twisted, USA still sucks at CS. Just a pro vs. DMG (which were probably gold nova last week) is in no way fair at all. And then you'll see the same reddit kids who flame all smurfs riding his nuts. Love it.
