I really don't understand how people get to global anymore.

all my games have blatant cheaters in them.

You just have to be in the top 0.5% or whatever (made up number) to get there in spite of the cheaters.

Once cheaters get busted in past games you gain rank anyway as they get removed from the player pool.

tldr git gud.

wtf, pyth was super solid imo. Feel like NiP just have unreasonable expectations from being big fish in a small pond for so long.

Well they are underperforming generally but it's hard to imagine the reason is the 5th given how all of them are playing.

they should have never got rid of maikelele the first time

I was personally hoping to see a new team with Get Right, F0rest, Lekr0 and some combination of other swedish players.

They either need to split up or treat their 5th as an equal. The revolving door is the problem. Either make a new team or stick it out with a 5th. They are setting themselves up for failure when the new player knows they get the boot if things don't work out.

pgl major in krakow confirmed, all matches will be streamed in 1080p 60fps rip esl.

Nice, so sick of watching **** quality streams on my big monitor

The qualifier is super soft this time. All the best teams made the playoffs and bunch of the teams in the qualifier are much worse now(Godsent, Optic, mouse).

Pretty much any team in the top 30 could make the major.

Watch NIP fail 😥

Anyone with a more expert opinion on canals? Played it for the first time last night. Feels so small. Everyone just spammed shotguns. T side feels so strong.

I hate it, will never queue for it

Does anyone want to buy my inventory? I got m4a4 Howl, AK Fire and some other good ones

Just stop MM'ing... I know saying you got global and all that is cool but the thing is and you'll realize this when you get it after a month or so, It actually means nothing.

Pay $7 - $10 a month to get on ESEA or Faceit, You'll become a much better player for it too.

The only downside which I guess is just CS in general right now is that people are so soft, People giving up when you lose pistol and losing first gun round making you 0-5 down, They just end up trolling or don't even try. Bugs the **** out of me. People just expect to be carried or be baby sat through a whole game, give no input to any strats or anything.

So if you have friends I would Q with them on these sites.

Actually if your going to play faceit don't buy it, Just play the free ladders till your Elo is like 1500-1600 or so and then this should skip the people in the above post.

I find when I play the premium ladders you get those types of people.

How do you see Elo on FaceIt? I remember joining ages ago and after a few games got level 6 or something and apparently everyone in my games was global. I was MGE at the time and usually in the 3 worst in each game.

$20

I play esea solely because of less cheaters. Not sure the environment is any better than mm. RWS basically encourages everyone to run straight at their opponents at every point in the round.

I can increase my ADR by ~10-15 and RWS from ~9 to 10.5-11 just by playing like an idiot.

post plants and anti ecos in ESEA are sooo ******ed because of RWS. But allegedly it was worse before with ADR or whatever because no one would ever entry and everyone would bait/camp for stats.

Can't they come up with something better that is mainly based on winning games. Like Elo? Elo has flaws sure but given enough of a sample size it is dead accurate compared to any bull**** stats based stuff.

on faceit you need premium to see elo, If you don't fancy paying for it and do what I say above, If you shoot me a message I can tell your elo for you.

Yeah the RWS stat is the most ******ed thing. How many times I'm just stood there frustrated because a guy to runs through a smoke dry or some random ass ****ty push he makes. Is why I like faceit over ESEA at the moment.

imo they faceit and esea just need to combine their ideas of each site.

For example Esea should get ladders like faceit has so your actually playing for something and obv scrap the RWS stat.

Faceit should get the karma system esea has, I know faceit has some kind of system but I don't know much about it. imo people with a bad % of karma meaning there probably toxic should play in games with other toxic people and vice versa.

No point I think I have only played a few games on there and not for a while. I might if i grind it a bit more.

Esea has a ranking system now, but you see b- pugstars with 13+ rws every month. Which shows you the stupidity of rws.

The funny things with these sites is that when your get to the middling to the lower tier of the higher players they have ego's and don't like to listen to anything because they know best

but again they are probably hunting for that RWS, Doesn't ESEA see this though. It baffles me lol ... surely if they got rid of that stat then the quality of games would go up, from a competitive stand point and a enjoyment/fun stand point. Or maybe it's just too late and players won't change.
