Lol yea, those games with people not knowing what to do was extremely frustrating. But a full group playing their roles accordingly made the game really fun.

not sure how Ange1 and kucher still are on the team. almost as mindblowing as LeX still getting sponsorships

Why would they keep kUcheR on the team? Also lol that s1mple is still being kept as a "stand-in".

so i was thinking about this earlier, and while it always confused me, it confuses me even more now that you can't buy more than 3 of the same weapon to spam in warmup.

Why can you buy a glock/p2k/usp?

If a teammate has a p2k equiped, but forgot to change to a USP, u can drop one extra for him. :D

Derankers are stupid btw.

At least I topfragged for my team while losing so they couldn't blame me for the loss lol. Those guys were just anoying, sitting with 16k in their pocket bottom fragging and not doing shit.

I like to win though. :">

This is a dumb question but what exactly makes you rank up? Is it winning streaks?

us doodoo people need more money

It's all about winning but it's mostly about your performance as well as if your team wins. If you're the top on your team you'll have a bigger chance of ranking up as well as winning streaks.

I need that knife money too :D

Yeah, just.. don't lose.

There's a few special cases that make a slight difference, like for example if you play with a bot. If you play with a bot and win a round, you get more elo than usual. And if you play with a bot and lose a round the loss is not weighted as heavily.

So if you play and someone abandons and you lose, it's not as bad for your rank as when you'd lose with a full team.

If you're on the edge of ranking up, you can also rank up on ties. I'm not sure if you can derank on ties though - never seen that.

Edit: At least I THINK that's how it works, we don't have any hard facts so might as well be wrong.

no offense mayhem but thats a load of bullshit

valve wont tell us how the rank up system works. theres no more than anecdotal evidence to explain it, so just play and win to try and rank up. itll just happen eventually if you keep winning.

I should've probably put a disclaimer up that it's a theory (more or less since we dont know any hard facts), a pretty convincing one to me tho

I am actually quite interested what ranks people got when they got ranked after 10 wins and where they are now... let's have it boys!

I started out as a Gold Nova 4, hung around between GN4 and MGE for a while and am now a LE. I am not actually trying to rank up or anything though.

I started really low in June as a Silver 4 since I didn't really play comp or the game. Now I'm MGE lurking around the DMG border.
