Anyone wanna buy my Premium IEM San Jose tickets? Don't really feel like going anymore if Ninjas aren't gonna be there. If I wanted to see the Bottom Tier 1 and below teams play I'll just go to a different event.

ROFL

Why not enjoy watching the event even if NiP isn't showing

I hate this game.

I want to play it more when I am doing shit. It infuriates me. I've played five games today and done OK in one of them. Rest I finished with like 20-25 deaths and less kills.

Yet all I want to do is do another round.

Sorry about that game. I know how frustrating it is to do well and not win... it's also proper shit seeing someone on your team nearly double your kills and not get the win too :p

I once got 47 kills on Cache and we drew.

47.

Cloud9 fans so sad right now, haha.

For reals though, sucks when people can't stick with their "favorite" team even during bad times. You'd never see me stop rooting for NiP. <3

NiP won't even be a team at the next major, the players refuse to even attend tournaments since the org doesn't pay them. Xizt and allu will retire, f0rest to G2, GTR to cloud9 and friberg back in the dumpster where he belongs. Then hopefully plebs like you will stay away from fnatic and go on to cheer for another annoying 12 year old fanboy shitter team like VP.

Bummer. I enjoy the C9 guys (well expect shroud). Skadoodle has been playing like shit lately though. I love freak but lol.

Sean pretty much nails it in his latest tweet: https://twitter.com/c9seangares/status/662449672712130560

I feel bad for sean and Cloud9. They are good players but something is radically off in that team, wonder what it could be.

SBD, we shit on a team being bad because they deserve it like NiP does now for a variety of reasons but (supposedly) not paying its talents is completely scummy. The players deserve more than to be stuck on NiP. Cloud9 deserves to be shit on because they've had 3 major appearances and they've never even made it out of group stage. Dubai being worse because they were the first team out and also lost to fucking Immunity.

Also this is fucking hilarious

Valve Releases New NiP-Themed Hostage Map
&#8212; November 5, 2015

BREAKING: In response to the recent allegations of Ninjas in Pyjamas&#8217;s failure to pay nearly $340,000 in past salary and prize money, Valve has released a new operation for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, titled &#8220;Truth in NiP.&#8221; In the new update, Terrorists will play as NiP Management, while Counter-Terrorists can play as either Richard Lewis or the Swedish Tax Agency.

Truth in NiP features two maps, one for Hostage Rescue and one for Bomb Defusal. In cs_hearsay, Counter-Terrorists must free all five NiP players currently under contract; in de_mist_payments, Terrorists must plant a bomb on one of the two filing cabinets where NiP keeps its tax and accounting records.

Since the controversy started, several NiP players have supported their organization. However, those statements have been met with skepticism from the community, who believe the players may have been contractually obligated to make such statements and whose social media accounts may have been seized.

The map will also introduce a new mechanic: a sixth, Terrorist-aligned player, titled &#8220;CEO,&#8221; that the CTs must hunt and kill. The CEO has no weapons or armor, and does not contribute to the team. However, if the CEO is alive at the end of the round, the CT side will not receive any money from kills, rescues, or round bonuses.

&#8220;I have received all prize money and salary that I&#8217;ve earned,&#8221; said Aleksi &#8220;allu&#8221; Jalli to a disbelieving mob of fans. Suspecting that NiP management had paid him off, the fans repeatedly chanted &#8220;bought Allu.&#8221;

A) No they're not. If they were good they would be able to beat teams like EnemyGG and 3sUP.

B) It's actually 4. Figured I would correct that so people don't think they're less shit for not making it out of 3 groups when it's actually been 4.

They made it out of groups once under the Cloud9 org.

Thanks for the correction, I forgot about Dreamhack 2014. I mean individually they do have some skill. Team-wise is very much lacking. Still though, 3 straight majors without making it out of groups is ridiculous.

Edit: There's also Cologne 2014.

I have no reason to not believe the players and the organization when they claim everything is peachy and they're happy. I know Richard Lewis is a trusted journalist, but for all we know his sources could be either heavily misinformed, or just wanting to start drama, or just even making it seem worse than it is. NiP already stated that they did have to delay payment on the MLG tournament because of issues, and they they're currently waiting for payment from FaceIt/CEVO/ESEA to arrive, and that the players have no complaints completing the mandatory "Streaming Hours" in their contracts.

So if they players and happy, and the Org is happy, and based on Tweets from Friberg and how the rest of the team is handling these rumors, I see no reason to bag on the org and try and make a big deal out of everything.

and if they accusations are true, we'll find out soon. If NiP mistreated their players, I'm sure their fanbase will be quick to let them know how they feel. I know I for one won't be sad to see the players leave and do their own thing, and I will be very angry towards the NiP Org. However I do currently wish NiP is successful with their Contract Negations and we get to see the same players under the same banner in 2016.

Did he get killed immediately after that clip ended?

No. 1 of them went and hid in our spawn with an AWP and the other two took so long to rotate that the bomb timber was on 10s by the time they got on site.






6-0 up on T side and it was the only game we lost yesterday

Why isn't there a Star Wars RPG? And wouldn't James Bond make for a pretty good FPS?
It's so fucking stupid that you can't kick a player on ESEA unless they speedhack or teamflash you. Had my last pug ruined by some troll but if I kick him, I'll get banned and he can continue ruining other peoples pugs.
 
Jumping around corners is stupidly effective, emphasis on stupid. I been jumping around corners with the 5-7, shooting in mid air. I did some ridiculous headshots. The enemy could hardly counter that with AKs.

Not just pistols either. I am constantly on the receiving end of jumping around corner headshots with rifles.

Yeah I don't like the jumping accuracy from weapons in this game. Still too accurate. I've given plenty of in-air headshots with the AK when jumping off from A short to CT lol and received plenty of dumb jumping glock headshots.

We already knew Hinzo triggerbots though
That last kill

I knew where he was, because he was shooting at the box when I was planting the bomb... The demo skips some frames at the end of each round since a couple of patches ago. Kinda anoying, because it ruins my videos. D:
Also Ludono, I'm not even German!
