Counter Strike: Global Offensive - Page 282 - Video Games

This was my first time watching a CS tournament and it definitely got me hooked. It's one of those games though that I know I'll never play. I used to play on CS 1.6 and got demolished there. I think I wouldn't last a minute nowadays.

It takes practice like any other game and is far easier to get into than Dota or starcraft etc.

He's somewhere between what thorin and the haters think. He is still the best French igl and he hasn't had a team good enough to judge otherwise in ages. His fragging has also improved recently. Why choose King of bait happy over him?

Thorin is a troll. He literally contributes nothing to the analyst desk. I've never heard him say anything actually related to gameplay. He just talks about map vetoes, players, and who will win.

The major was hilarious. Na'vi comes out smashing and he still insist astralis is the favorite. After groups he acts like Astralis 16-3ing Liquid is proof they are finally "in form" and then Thorin gets lucky when Na'vi doesn't show up.

Astralis will go back to being 4-5th and never winning once the swedes, french, and brazilians get their **** together.

cs:go analysis is a wasteland, really made me stop watching the game. When a miserable human being like Thorin is given air time - and especially when he spouts nothing but garbage - it just makes it unwatchable.

Changes things for Dreamhack Las vegas.

Kind of a ****ty marketing ploy though. Will have 0 effect on anything but the pro scene and who wants to watch cobble?
If they want to maintain parity between the community and pro level play this isn't how you do it.

They are just removing it so they can add it back. Creates more hype than if they just release the update in 3 months.

I despise watching dust 2 in pro play.

Early battle for long control which is won by CTs 90% of the time. Dick around in mid for a full minute, then either execute mid to b split or run up cat.

Never watched Dazed comment anything, but I think steel does a pretty good job at that. Watched a few of his match reviews or replays or whatever he calls them, usually lots of great insights.
