Mousesports have won 1 out of their last 12 Cobblestone matches. You'd think they would start banning it at some point.
Edit: They actually managed not to choke at the end. Guess this means they'll keep picking Cobble ( ._.)

So after not having played for somewhere between 6-12 months, I popped on to get a game in and now it seems there is no way for me to play competitve? Even though I have like 80 competitive wins and 100+ hours played?

You have to get level 2 in order to play competitive matchmaking. You're in luck because they only just lowered the requirements.

Get your rank up to lvl 2. A couple of casual games or DM should be enough.
 
Oh wow didn't know ECS was so soon.

Forgot to ask time off to watch this tournament. :(

EDIT:

Played an ESEA Pug with this guy, we lost, whole team played like shit, gg no re.

Played another PUG right after, matched AGAINST the same guy, he insulted me and said "GG anyone who matches with SpeedyBlueDude loses. BOT Speedy, etc"

Actually managed to make my score respectable and win the match against him, performing better than him, and getting double my kills on T-side after an abysmal CT-side.

Feels real good proving those fuckers wrong after proving them right and sucking it on CT-side.

Butbutbutbut Anders I thought Newke was pure CT side? And that 5 rounds was amazing for EchoFox?

And on this CT sided map it's very hard to do anything against a secret rush?

So many contradictions. So much rubbish.

Nevermind, keep shouting "r u kidding me rfweoijioani" and Semmler keep wanting to shout "peekaboo" because FUCK YOU SEMMLER

Flipside keeps surprising me.

Edit: this is how I imagine Mouz to play during the major.

Edit2: okay I think I know why Dust2 seems so much easier lately. The cheating scumbags who are afraid of getting banned don't have Prime, so they can't get into my games. :D
 
NiP :(

GeT_RiGhT couldn't hold B-site. I feel like ThreaT should have made the call that someone needed to help support GTR on B and watch his upper.

Always next time! Tournament isn't over yet.

Now back to sleep.

40 minute gap between games.

What is this
I guess they set the time so there's room for 3 maps in a match up and they don't push the matches forward if a BO3 ends after 2 matches. It's pretty annoying, especially without a countdown or something.
