Is gtr a lock for first? Flusha getting #1 would be delicious
Whats the deal with case opening and skin giveaways on Twitch?
Some of the top streamers sometime are doing this. How can you guys just watch a guy open cases for hours. 80% of the items are crap anyways. You're not going to win skin with 15k viewers entering. Im talking about Phantomlord, Sodapoppin, Weeds.
Adding skins to CS is probably the best thing Valve has done to make CS more popular. Its no doubt without skins CSGO wouldnt be as popular as it is today. Just hate how the community is using skins to get more viewers because of giveaways and skin betting

these rankings became a joke when Happy was 10th. He's the best player on his team despite being the IGL and LDLC was probably the best team in the second half of 2014.
LDLC wasn't supposed to be the super team after the French shuffle. It was supposed to be Titan. LDLC had the leftovers who weren't considered good enough for Titan.
They forced the best team in the world to cheat in a major tournament. Who the fuck cares if Pasha got an MVP 11 months ago? VP is the European Cloud 9 and he's not even the best player on his team, Snax is.
Whut? That was Epsilon brah.
Wait, you're not supposed to win? Damn it. Kappa
Epsilon got the bottom of the barrel players.
LDLC was the next tier up. You don't remember their salty post about how the French scene is immature? No one would make that post if they thought they were benefiting from the shuffle. edit - http://www.hltv.org/news/13161-ldlc-release-team
Titan was supposed to be the godlike team that was going to dominate the scene. Couldn't even do that with a cheater ha
Pretty much,the French shuffle happened because NBK thought Titan had reached its potential didn't it? At least I remember him playung a key role.
That was because they accepted the contract from Titan, without letting LDLC know beforehand. It was a scummy move and that's why they get blamed for their lack of maturity. People were also pretty hyped about the new LDLC line-up
Others were sceptical of the new Titan line-up.
Edit:
So far so guud. 8)
guess i was wrong.
I just remember the salty blog post and when the rumors first started popping up that people thought the double awp of KQLY and kennyS would dominate. Ex6 has always been overrated as an IGL as well.
Back then people thought SmithZz was an average awper.
Yeah, many people (including myself) prefered KennyS over Smithzz for obvious reasons. :d Double AWPs werent common back then. Only Mouz were using 2 AWPers.
Watching now...
in their defense, the latter isnt surprising at all.
They also got rid of their only good player. Not sure why these odds are so in HR favor, they shouldn't even be 66% if they still had s1mple and markeloff
Like I said, they haven't practiced as a team enough after the roster changes so their rotations and teamwork suffered.
Nah dude, that wasn't a rotation/positioning fail, that was a communication fail. It's 5v3 with 2 CTs on A and 1 on B. It's a confirmed push onto B with practically all Ts on site yet the two on A CTs didn't rotate until the bomb was down which was about 5-6 seconds into the push.
People seem to be less fond of them, especially with the Chroma hype. But hey, I doubt they'll go DOWN. ;D
Nice knife mate. I'm waiting for the M4 Dragon King price to drop a bit more, so I can get one. Can't make money tho, because the stupid bots dont let me bet! >_<
I cashed out on a bunch of my AWP asii's when I was going hard in the betting paint and got me these along with some ST pistols
Now I just bet using all the crap I don't care about losing. I'll get back my betting goods when some Euro leagues start rolling around I'm sure, I hate betting on NA matches so I've been treading lightly since DH.
I started using loungedestroyer today but I guess I am doing something wrong, I don't know.
I used it to place a bet on VP today but it didn't work because it couldn't find any bots even after 2000 tries.
And now I'm trying to place a bet on CLG but it still can't find any bots. And it's 4am in Europe, how busy can the servers be? It's already at over 500 betting attempts again.
wtf is this shit.

4am in EU bit 10PM EST
probably the most difficult time to get in a bet. Everyone trying to get their bets in on shitty NA teams
I find 3AM-7AM EST to be the easiest time to bet.
So my steam balance is sitting at 75 now. I figure if i can make 30 more on betting, I will finally treat myself to a knife. Bayonett, huntsman or gut knife seem to be the ones I can think about with that kind of money. I think I don't like the gut knife all that much, howeer fades seem to go for around 100 every now and then ... I don't know.
Amazing....
My buddy from work (plays on the AHGL team with me) opened a FN Damascus Bayonet today. Apparently it's worth $400 right now.
If I only had his luck. That's the exact knife I want.
That's exactly the amount of money I want.
Also, fnatic vs. ESC. I wanna say fnatic easy but it's ESC's best map
When did ESC beat Fnatic on mirage?
also It's Fnatic's second best map after Inferno + ESC didn't do very well lately on Mirage (Penta, Na'Vi, etc)
edit: They never beat Fnatic on Mirage
They didn't but ESC is very good on mirage but not good enough that they can beat Fnatic on it. Its something about CIS teams and mirage they're really strong at it. Maybe its the water?
Yeah you're right. Fuck reddit.
I just checked. Last time fnatic won 16-9 on Mirage.

Torqued?
FTFY. :d
Man, I missed out on so much value today because of those bots. Any chance for Epsilon to fail vs Gplay?
