Shilling for NEOs mouse!

Oh hey Pro League starts tonight



If they have that Australian bloke on with the worst accent though...

 

[baby]

spunj analysis: these teams are pretty good but if renegades had the proper funding to play full time and live in america they would dominate

 

[Hixx]

Valve just banned Coaches from talking to their team during gameplay. Can talk in warm up, time-outs and half-time.

Nobody asked for this.

I don't think it's necessarily a bad rule (it's a 5v5 game etc.) but it's too late now. If Valve didn't like ingame coaches they should have banned them years ago.

 

[frbrr]

funny that the letter is signed by the guy who made the worst official map in cs history

 

[Hixx]

Creased at whoever did HenryG's makeup, he looks like a zombie.

 

[KingKong]

I really don't get why people are so upset at the rule change. It makes sense to me as a response to the top teams moving the IGL role to the coach and picking up fraggers

 

[TUSR]

My FK2 is arriving today, time to see how much I don't like it before ordering the new Logitech Pro mouse.

 

[Hixx]

Get carried HARD on Dust 2 -> get Supreme for first time

I LIKE YOUR STYLE, COUNTER-STRIKE.

What's going on CS:GO bros? Been awhile!

 

[cHinzo]

Damn, Disco Doplan is preeeeeeetty good.

 

[Ludono]

What's going on CS:GO bros? Been awhile!

The entire scene is imploding. Skin betting / gambling is gone. Coaches for teams are gone.

But hey, those new pistol sounds!

 

[Hixx]

friberg bought some hacks, nice

 

[PrematureQuiche]

Disco has been doing well on Epsilon for a while. Pyth must be hoping he doesn't carry this on.

 

[JDB]

I don't think the coaching change is that bad, but Valve are definitely way too late with it.

they waited until this style of cs was established to pass this rule, and furthermore the outside igl + 5 capable players makes for the best cs possible as having an igl requires one player to be essentially impaired.

Because of the coach role becoming more dominant in the scene, we've seen the level of CS getting better and better, which as a viewer is awesome. Who wants to go back to the days of having an ex6tenz bottom fragging every game?

 

[Xizk]

LOL at Blizzard censoring "gg ez" in Overwatch. People in the gaf thread cheering it on saying it made them sad when someone said it to them.

 

[Hixx]

Imagine a game of CS where nobody said "GG Ez" at the end.

It'd feel... incomplete?

I would say the level of CS is getting better has more to do with the money and new blood on the scene and not just the coaches. if you have an igl that can't keep up, they'd be replaced or the team wouldnt get results right? and its not like the coach is gone, they just can't have such a huge role in the game

I mostly watch pro Dota but thats how it works in that game, the captain is almost always in the support role because its easier to manage the game and even though they're not as mechanically skilled as other top pros they're essential to winning (but at the same time the top teams have coaches and managers and stats guys)

 

[Confrontation]

Kinda have to put that whole thread on my ignore list.

Sounds about right.

i mean theres really no such thing as a role in counterstrike besides igl and awper. theres playstyles, sure, but in the end everyone has to pull their weight. by outsourcing the igl, we ended up watching 5v5 instead of 4.5v4.5 because one dude is only half focused on playing his own game. very few teams have had igls that can pull their weight, and its not such a simple thing replacing a brilliant igl who cant perform in game. the only player that i can think of that can frag and lead at the same time was happy, and even he isnt really good enough to do that any more and it had more to do with his teams chemistry than his own leading ability.

dota and cs have completely different paces and requirements, i dont think they should have rules standardized between them

because no one wants to watch a 4v4 with 2 bots?

well, except you and valve

the zowie fk2 is too small for my hand

which means the logitech pro will be too small as well

 

[Ludono]

I still miss the "banter" at half-time when we could still talk to the other team. THOSE WERE THE DAYS

Alright, I'm off until next week. Next time I'll be online I'll be back and school >

 

[Clydefrog]

ok Trump...

want a Logitech 1200?

 

[Dalibor68]

Has there been any info/rumors/hints yet as to

1) when the next operation will come out? there was a pretty big gap between op wildfire and the one before that
2) when and where the next major will be? logic would suggest a dreamhack tournament, no?

thanks

 

[Confrontation]

Next major will be in January.

 

[Dalibor68]

Next major will be in January.

welp I hope that means MLG/ESL souvenir prices rise again until then at least

mlg nuke souvenir started at ~25€, now it's at 8,50€

3 games in a row now where it's 4v5 from the first round, love this game

I've finally hopped onto the 'solo-queue is trash' bandwagon. Playing 10man/5-stack CS this week has been a big eye-opener to how much better the game feels when there is actual team coordination. After over a year of soloqueueing seriously I don't intend on going back

 

[FuuRe]

Autimatic looked really good yesterday

Also the entire team played really good

 

[Hixx]

sounds like flusha either disliked olof or dennis enough to leave fnatic no matter what

edit: they all wanted jw out for rain. but now flusha and krimz still playing with jw.

err

 

[baby]

the zowie fk2 is too small for my hand

i warned you. fk1 is for people who dont have tiny baby hands

Omen challenge starts in around 40min. I hope one of the punishments is that Niko has to watch one of his team mates play Clockwork Orange style.

Why do CS:GO events never start on time... is it that hard?

 

[Clint Beastwood]

nothing ever starts on time

 

[PrematureQuiche]

I guess it's just Ludono and Confy now.

 

[Hixx]

quiche very next game we play you know we will derank

so lets NEVER PLAY AGAIN

 

[Xizk]

I thought the players were the ones who were going to get tortured.

 

[Confrontation]

Of course I'm not home for the last week and upcoming one either. Ffs.

Gratz to the 2 of you, though. Good stuff.

 

[frbrr]

stealing all my rank ups
