Talk about skin drama or actual gameplay
>>2031987Bro just use /cs2g/.
>>2032023Fuck esports
>>2032043I post skins when I feel like it. Just ignore the screeching uncs.
>>2031987>>2032043basedbeen getting lower FPS since that "CPU optimization" update few weeks ago, Valve are real pieces of work. and that was supposed to be the 2 year update since release, nothing new except the noobifying defuse mechanic.
I have no idea why Counter Strike on 4chan was always so esports focused. I recall seeing threads on /vg/ and its always >The games figured out AMERICAN let us talk about eslop!!!!CS2 is just hit or miss for me, its been nearly 2 years and it has little over GO at this point
>>2032106>lower FPSWhat lower fps are we talking about? I have an FX8350 and a GTX960 and I get stable ~120fps on low settings.
surf is pretty much dead in CS2 due to changes we on momentum mod then fellas?
>>2032121Not him but whenever I play my fps just gets worse and worse the longer I play
>>2032139Average fps or just the lows? Before switching to W10 LTSC I had similar average fps but had the issue that every couple of minutes the game would drop to single digit fps.
>>2032126As far as I know all the surf niggas play CS Source
>Even as the ship is sinking all people do is fight amongst each other just enforce the steam market fully holy fuck
>>2032192Valve doesn't pay out your market sales in cash so they'll never be as interesting as the alternatives.
>>2031987What have you anons crafted?
>>2032317I'm waiting for thursday in the hopes that the lifted trade restrictions drop the prices a bit further. I'm eyeing a Kukiri Blue Steel and Specialist Field Agent gloves.
>>2032317I’m hoping for cheapo combos like $60 combos, I doubt it but I’m eyeing a Tiger Bowie + overture gloves
>>2032357Holy moley
spawn immunity on DM is really fucking long for no good reason and it takes like one line of code to fix it to something normal
>>2032147Average fps would be a solid 100 and then it'd turn into a very choppy 80 that feels like 50
>>2032317I don't buy cases or any of that shit because it's kinda dumb to me so none
>>2032573Specs and settings?
>>2032317I have €330 in CSfloat funds (sold my knife the week before the update) and I'm 100% going to buy the most expensive thing within budget. Probably a karambit
>>203251990% of all DM happens on community servers Check out cyberchoke
>>2031987I have finally come to peace with the fact that if I am going to continue playing CS2 in the future, I need to upgrade my build which last had a CPU put in it (i7-9700k) but otherwise has a GeForce GTX 1080 in it and only one stick of 16 GB of RAM. Would upgrading to 32 GBs with two sticks be an immediate improvement?I just want to be able to stop playing this game with terrible framerates and borderline intolerable graphics. Playing ESEA last night made even playing de_inferno intolerable and my PC would go down to sub 60 frames in every aim duel. I partly blame the Faceit AC.
>>2032998A 9700k and 1080 should be easily able to handle CS2 on 1080p. Single stick ram isn't optimal, you'll definitely get a small boost if you run dual channel sticks. Are you overclocking? Also there's some settings in the NVIDIA Control Panel app you can fiddle around with that will get you a bit more fps.>borderline intolerable graphicsWhat does that mean? You don't want to play on low settings?>I partly blame the Faceit ACYeah. Make sure there's as few programs running in the background as possible. Disable launching on system start for all apps you don't need.
>>2033005>borderline intolerable graphicsEver since CS2 came out, low graphics genuinely look bad. There appears to be a weird film grain sort of effect applied, contrast is god awful, and the current res I play on (16:10 stretched) just seems overall worse in CS2. I can't explain it but if that's the was CS is, then I will just try to pump out as many frames as possible.>blame Faceit ACOh and Windows 11, fuck Windows 11. I should have installed TinyWin11 but I think a lot of it also has to do with that. Anyways will check overclocking settings because I am not overclocking at all currently. Also>NVIDIA control panel settingsGot a guide for optimal settings?
>>2033023Update to this: fucked around with my settings in the NVIDIA control panel, will be unable to check results until I have a moment to play a pick up game w/ the anti-cheat running when I get out of work for the day.
>>2033023>weird film grain sort of effect appliedThat sounds like the game is up-scaling. Check if picrel is set to disabled.>Got a guide for optimal settings?I followed this and got a couple fps more. https://tradeit.gg/blog/best-nvidia-settings-for-cs2/
>>2032120I played a lot with csgog in 2012-14~ and while we did talk about the big events it wasn't the main focus of the thread.
>>2033005>>2033040CS2 is stupidly demanding and even on low settings with "100+ fps" the game is really just running at 10 fps at moments when any action happens on screen. Literally the only way to play this game to a passable degree is by getting a Pajeetzen CPU with the x3d suffix. >>2033023The film grain is often the result of "high dynamic range" being turned off.
>>2032998This game is CPU heavy as fuck. You can't upgrade your PC without getting a new motherboard. I've gone through 2 CPU's already since the launch of CS2 just trying to get the game to feel nice and smooth. The solution for me was a Ryzen 5 7600X3D. Before that I had the normal 7600 and the game still ran like shit.
>>2033200>the game is really just running at 10 fps at moments when any action happens on screenMine doesn't. Seems like a skill issue on your end.
>>2031987i warned /biz/ so i'll warn you fags toothere's tens of thousand of knives ready to hit the community market over the course of 24 hours tomorrow.series one knives, gamma knives, riptide knives & more will all crash harder than a drunk asian on tet.based off community market data, 145,257 reds from the riptide and dreams & nightmares cases were sold in the 24 hours after the update released. Once crafted, that makes 29,032 new riptide series knives ready to hit the market over the course of one day once trade cooldowns expire. For context, 7,661,994 op riptide and D&N cases were opened last month. Since there's an average 1 in 390 chance of pulling a knife that means roughly 19,646 knives were unboxed over the last month from this collection.Long story short 1.477x the number of riptide knives unboxed last month are ready to hit the market over the course of ONE. DAY.Dawn of the final day.24 Hours Remain (until major cheapies).
>>2033954I was coping on good knives being cheap but will we see all the gutter tier knives hitting rock bottom lows for like $20?
>>2033961certain collections? absolutely. We're talking crate depression levels of market saturation here, i remember picking up unusuals that were normally like 15 keys for about 1 key and change on the community market a 0.10x is absolutlely possible during the initial panic. However, because of the quickly narrowing volume of sales beginning ~20h post update combined with the continuing red sales at ~$300 per tradeup these prices wont last.i'm gonna get me a nice phase 2 full pink doppler and call it "Argyle Pink Diamond" and a battle scarred rust coat navajo knive and call it "Anti-Boostrix" and i'm going to pay less than 100 australian dollarydoos for the pair.
>>2034012What about the expensive ones like butterfly? I’d like a ST MW Damascus Steel but I wouldn’t pay over 300€ since I already got a beautiful Damascus Paracord
>>2034083it's less about individual knife rarity and more about the pre-update abundance of red skins for a given knife's collection. For example, that damascus butterfly comes from the spectrum collection, the cheapest red from that collection was the p250 see ya later, and about 20k of those were sold 24h PU so you can expect a bit of a dip, meanwhile that paracord is a fever knife of which at least 30k reds were sold so the dip ratios will be comperable with a bigger discount on fever knives.
>>2034083>20k of those were sold 24hIs that just the Steam market or does that include trade sites?
I don't believe for a second prices aren't going to plummet much more than they already have. I'm waiting for a month or so. By that time people had enough time to sell reds, buy them, wait for tradelock, tradeup, wait for tradelock, then sell
lmao you cucked skincels still haven't killed yourselves?Get to it already.Chop chop chinkies.
It's starting to feel like GODlige can win this event
>>2034880Oh wait wrong thread
Is there any one making normal maps for CS2 or is it just a dead art?
>>2034892why would they make maps
>>2034989So randoms playing the game can complain about the newly made map not being Mirage or Dust2?
>skin investor panic sells>abuses the steams trade reversal to not lose money the next day>gets banned on csfloat, has to publicly apologize to salvage his channelhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=m7g3EX8PRMc&pp=0gcJCR4Bo7VqN5tD
>>2034989I mean people used to make maps that weren’t jokes like 747 even crackhouse was originally a hostage map
>>2035261I hope this shit all utterly tanks tommarow to fuck everyone up the markets not healthy if people are too scared to sell digital items for actual not absurd prices

Bros..I don’t think nice combos will actually be cheap
>>2035261lol what a faggot
>>2035542I’m hoping for tiger tooth or black laminate Bowie to tank Tigers look good with overtake gloves which are cheap
>>2033005Thank you very much for recommending some stuff. I don't know if this was because we didn't play Inferno this evening or what, but my ESEA match tonight was infinitely more tolerable and we won with all of us above 12 RWS.
why do vanilla knife skins in CS have "float" if they're all the same?
Did it begin? I barely see any significant decreases yet.
>new to cs >try hard but hardstuck 5khow get gud when no fren?solo feels like a lottery
ngl I kinda like deadlock more fr
>>2032106The game will keep running worse with every update. The same happened in csgo, vanilla ran better than the final build (panorama update was the biggest factor, but not the only one). The only way to offset is to just get an x3d CPU, a decent GPU and play sub-native.
Bros??? The prices aren’t tanking
Yeah valve are gonna ban third party websites now this is not what they wanted the prices are going back up on buff
>>2036140post demo
What happens if you mix in glove collection reds with knife ones? Does it let you trade up just the same?
our flychads lost???
Skin talk morning: anyone have any particular collection they like in general? I have the entirety of the Office Collection and I really like it. I hope since Office has had a facelift sine then that they follow up on it, or when they release the cbble remake that they have more arctic themed collections.The most recently released collection they've released that I enjoy is the Ascent Collection and I have almost every skin in it Factory New except for the M4A1-S Stratosphere.>>2036345Works like any other tradeup where you have a chance to pull anything from any collection you put in, so you can mix it and potentially get gloves or a knife.
Post-Unlockening crash updatePrices of knives dropped to similar levels as right after the update for ~4h post unlock, reds dropped more dramatically, both have now leveled, will most likely be another dip once burgers wake up.These effects represent the first 2 hours of post update skin sales. Tomorrow the other ~19 hours of of crafted skins will hit the market at the same time, but far less people will be watching. People heard about another incoming crash, it "didn't happen", and now they're moving onto the next thing. This takes a lot of liquidity and awareness out of the equation which was the main limiting factor in price drop.Also the drop in price of reds is less likely to repeat since the prices rose mostly during the initial few hours. The prices leveled our after that point so it's more likely they will have been crafted into knives rather than held for resale
>>2032519Yeah that sucks, spawn positions too, someone kills me and then I spawn like three meters behind him wtf>>2032317Nothing, was waiting for a drop to buy a bowie tiger tooth or rust coat full wear but it didn't happen
>>2036361I sold my M4A4 Desert Strike that was just floating in my inventory that I never used to begin with, and I'm so happy that those had value now. As for buying the dips, unfortunately my wallet worth is tied up in a long-term Fracture and Recoil Case investment I made earlier this year, so if I wanted to get the two last things I really want for the time being (Classic Knife vanilla + M4A1-S Stratosphere FN) I'm going to have to wait for a while. I'm not going to be putting money onto my Steam Wallet and I haven't done so in years on account of good case yields in the past.Anyways good analysis, tyvm
almost done slurping gloves, just a couple more
>No ursus vanilla for 50 dollarrinosFuck this life bro
Yeah the crash is not happening or people are too slow to sell, all the trader scum are acting smug over their inflated inventories Unless valve do something again the shits gonna go back to where is used to be
damn these roaches fucking SUCK
Diamond hands win again
>>2036386Valves gonna nuke third party websites real soon
>>2036375how much did that superdoncutor and hedge maze cost you? also what are the wears cause backpack icons always fucking sucked
>>2036140death match and watch pro plays to learn better positioning, utility usage, etc. some of it won't be applicable due to the level of players you're playing against but you should be able to figure it out with trial and error
>>2036391
>>2036401had them for a while obviously, those are not new. the non sports are new as well as scarlets
>>2036401>have $1000 on steam>nobody ever sells anything coolI assume bots and buy orders snipe the doppler gems for good knives?
I traded up some reds and got theseWhat is a good knife to pair it with?The slaughters seem too pink and the crimson webs too dark
>>2036421Hear me out A Battle Scared crimson web Bowie knife I am not trolling
>>2036421Autotronic seems like a general lock with that specific coloring. As for knife choice, I'd like to see this combo w/ the Shadow Daggers if you can inspect these in-game and take a screenshot here. M9 Bayonet seems angular enough too to where it might also look good as well.Another good choice is Black Laminate but they of course lack color.
HOOXED
>o lost all my money on 1's and 0's
My nightwish ak stattrak actually went up in value about $30, it was nearly up $50 yesterday but dropped slightly
uhhhhhh where is the great reset I've been promised?
>>2036426Check out Well Worn Classic Knife Crimson Web
>>2036421A ruby knife of course :)
>>2036421Get classic vanilla and larp as 2019 dev1ce
Do I get 1 cheap black pearl knife or a knife/glove combo?
this rally make-a me hardthe coming crash was a perfect storm bar the fact everyone and their dog though it would happen creating far too much buyer's pressure, the fact only 2 hours of skins were released and the rest are on hold til ~6 hours from now means the current rally is people who were waiting for the crash panic buying because they now think it isn't going to happen.Bye-Bye excess liquidity.
>>2036645>>2036643>>2036642>>2036429>>2036426Here’s what I got after trading up all my FT/BS redsWas it worth it?
>>2037675The knives arent crazy but your Kimono Gloves saved everything and Omega Gloves are good too
>play casual>2 teammates have been afk for 2 rounds>try to votekick>nobody presses f1it's all so tiresome
>>2037973I hope the market shakeup cuts down on case farmers
Err… the dip? Where is it, guys? You told me there would be an invasion of knives & gloves.
>>2037675Float and pattern for the kimonos? Probably made you 90%+ of your money.
>>2038282They look a lot better than the float suggestsI guess I got a decent pattern, the only wear is a gray line around the knuckle
>>2038370oof

Is CSfloat fucking dead? I’ve been trying to sell some shadow daggers at a crazy good price for 2-3 days and no one is interested. Am I shadowbanned or something?
So knives are a bit cheaper and more accessible and reds are now eye-wateringly expensive, shocking. People actually thought we'd have £20 knives or something
>>2037283>>2036361>>2033954You still here, little bro? Do you want to apologize to the thread? I'll take an equally elaborate "I was wrong, oh so wrong" post now.
So the "knifepocalypse" was actually a front for a bigger issue of trade reversals? Capitalization growing is just a sham because no one can buy shit
>>2035839Happy to hear it seems to helped a bit. May I asked what steps you took?
>>2040414based valve allowing greedy human nature to fix fix their 3rd party trading problem
Gaben I know you browse this place return dangerzone to csgo please everything else sucks so much
valve is buttfucking the third party skins market and they know exactly what they are doing
When are the Major stickers coming out???
>>2031987I just play competitive, why they don't add new maps?I'm just comeback after 5 years and I was expecting something more
>>2041930they add a few maps here and there, like currently you have palacio, golden and agency, but not much more> I was expecting something morewe all did m8, they didn't even add fucking factions to existing competitive maps
Mathematically this doesn't add up. Knife supply is skyrocketing yet prices are going upI unironically prepared a shopping list featuring Karambit Fade and BFK Lore. Instead I just bought a Bayonet for like 30% off
>>2041930>I was expecting something morelolwhat game do you think you're playing?
>>2041978>knife supply increased by 5% at best. why aren't knives 90% off?
What should I get first, bwos? Gamma doppler huntsman p1 huntsman or doppler p1 Bowie? I’ll get both eventually but I don’t know what to choose this month…Huntsman with finish line gloves and bowie with blood pressure!
>>2041930How long have you been playing, little bro? CS players are among the most conservative of any gaming crowd and abhor change.
>>2041930You actually missed Anubis being in active duty entirely, but you can still play it in the standard competitive mode (not premier). The game also gets a tri-yearly rotation of community maps, and this time around both Palacio and Golden are good. Italy got a rework since you last played which make it more balanced for CTs.That's 3 entirely new maps right there for you with an additional fourth if you care about hostage and count layout changes and reworks as new, go check those out or just stop complaining about active duty rarely changing, even before you stopped playing it was slow to change.
>>2034812Markets back already, now back to your food stamp line Cletus
>>2043178I dislike both those knives. Bowie looks cool and is cool irl but when I had my dream Bowie it bored me within a day.Draw animation is just so slow. Takes forever for the knife to appear on screen and makes you feel slow too.
You DID craft a good knife/glove combo before the red skins exploded in price right anon?You DID do it before the market rebounded right anon?
>>2045328I love those gloves. Easy top 3 in the game.
>>2045063Bowie seems heavy looking, so I think that the slowness kinda fits it. The prices for these jumped into the sky, especially for the Stattrak which I need. I’m so fucked, since my payday’s on the 10th… All I’d ever buy got hella expensive already. Well, outside of Finish line moto gloves. Those are still reasonable at least.
>>2046041Turtles always clear if you’re looking for green gloves
Do people still do many item-for-item trades anymore? I don't have any golds, but I have cases and some modestly-priced skins. I was hoping to trade up for a cool falchion and/or some driver gloves.>>2045328Sadly no. I was there when the update dropped, but I didn't possess the foresight to immediately buy the cheapest reds. Nice combo, anon.
Dripchads, I require your assistance! I’m just finishing my T-side drip since I got my dream knife. What’s the best agent to go with this?1 is Dragomir, whose been my agent for years. 2 is Rezan, 3 is Blackwolf.
>>2048736not a fan of any of these combinations anon, why did you choose these? They don't seem to match colorwise to my eyes.
>>2045328>craftI'm not a degenerate gambler, I just bought things half off.
>hear about skins market crash>sweet maybe I can afford a knife now>still $80big nothingburger lol. this only affects retards who think their karambit is worth $50000 or whatever
>>2048786I just love the gloves (which I got very cheap despite being 0.151 FT) so I went with it.
>>2048736Also, this is my planned combo for CT. I'll get these next week
Is this an okay trade offer to suggest for a FN falchion bright water? I'm trying to not make any particularly insulting trade offers, but I'd like to get a knife and/or some gloves by trading up my old cases. Otherwise, maybe anons here might be interested in trading some golds to a market noob for agreeable prices? I'm not fabulously wealthy, but it'd be nice to find some good deals on some fun play skins.
>>2048834seems like the math checks out, but isn't it more convenient to just sell the cases and buy the knife? what site are you using?
finally a white vs white match in my game of counter strike
>>2048848I'm just on Steam's forums right now. I tried looking through the community trade forum since someone recommended I try that for buyer to buyer stuff. Prices do seem a bit cheaper on sites like CSFloat as I'd think they should be, but I don't have the experience, and my cases are docked several dollars there, so I don't think it'd push me as far for my trades here. I'm trying to trade directly rather than buy balance to minimize fees/losses. Maybe I'm misguided, I don't know; I'm a complete amateur, but I sincerely just want to have a fun playskin knife.

I need money into my paypal and I have amassed thousands worth it skins playing since 2012. So those sites like csfloat use Stripe and I sell them there and then Stripe send to paypal?
>>2045328>uses term comboImagine being brainwashed by gaben and ohne to waste any money into this trash game
Less then two weeks until the major. Give me the stickers.
Should I mega splurge on ST FT M4A1 Printstream or stick to my ST MW Black Lotus? That price is inhuman but I just can’t get my mind off it…
>>2053362It's all preference. Personally, I think the Black Lotus mogs the fuck out of basic bitch printstreams. Marathon-ass bullshit imo. If you really want, you could just trade up to a FN one, or downgrade to a BS for extra redness. You could get such a nice knife/glove combo or stickers instead too.
>>2053650Trading up? Is it cheaper than just getting one from CS float? Can I guarantee it? I never used that mechanic.I already finished my knives/gloves setup here and it turned out better than expected:>>2048736>>2048807
>>2054003I meant selling your existing one and buying a lower float, not trade-up contracts for it.>I already finished my knives/gloves setup hereMy point is only strengthened. A low float Black Lotus would coordinate nicely with those skins. Wish I could find good deals on playskin golds too; where are yours from?
>>2054073I got everything from CSFloat. Even managed to bargain for some of them and get some pretty nice savings.I just got a ST FT 0.180 USP Printstream for 65€, not too bad either.
>>2054144Very nice, not a bad price for that float. If you don't mind, do you perhaps have any tips for someone who's newer to CSFloat? Mostly curious about bargaining etiquette and how to min-max sold inventory items (if you ever sell P2P). I saw that each listing seems to have a "minimum bargain" threshold for instance. Falchion knives, notably gamma dopplers have been eyeing me lately. May like some cheap gloves while I'm at it.
>>2054199I’m new to CSFloat myself. The big dip got me checking out markets outside of Steam and I ended up there since I didn’t have a passport to use on buff163.In my limited experience, people who have a set price just turn off the price negociation. I usually offer their minimal asking price and more than 50% accepted so far!
Why is the matchmaking so dogshit lately?I unironically lost 7 games in a row because I was always the designated carry The only way we'd win a round was if I had 3kd
>>2054372Crazy that you are getting full minimums like that. Do they ever counter? That's one thing I noticed that is missing on a lot of these trading sites; bargaining. It's interesting when some sellers with a higher listed price/lower float may have a lower bargaining minimum too. I was thinking of using Lis-Skins since they have a convenient instant sell and buy option, and have okay FT gloves, but maybe CSFloat could be the answer.
>>2057173I never used Lis skins since I could only deposit with crypto instead of card, so I have no experience with it.Yeah, people do counter bargain, often aiming for the middle ground. Yesterday I got a ST FT 0.201 AWP Printstream for 86€. I wanted to bring it just a little bit lower but it’s still okay I guess.
Any ideas on what skins the embroidered major stickers could look good on?
Wasn't there something about Valve being more strict about what signatures get approved this major? How tf did this get through???
>>2057378These niggers are still putting other guy's names on their stickers.
>>2057380What even is this?
>>2057381If the game didn't tell me I'd think this was susp's autograph.
>>2057378since they're banning the tryhard sigs they really should ban these shitty ones as well. just do it like a normal person for fucks sake.
>>2057381not usually a fan of these but i think this one is cool
>on a premier solo win streak>end up with 2 russians and 2 trolls who start by screaming nigger>the 2 russians babble>the 2 trolls keep spamming radio callsplease please please, valve. Just give us either regional lock (exclude russian ip's) or single stack match makingit's too fucking painful
>>2057885=D.
>>2057879>ban these shitty ones as wellIt's not even his name. I don't get if the thing in the middle is meant to be an e or an s but either way kek/ksk is not a kyousuke signature
>>2043205cs2 was an awful change but it seems to have been accepted
>>2058264Not him, but people constantly bitch about CS2's problems (especially networking/latency) online. People 'accept' it only in the way a heroin addict accepts drugs into his veins because he's accepted his life is over and is just waiting to die.
Hovering inbetween 25-30k premier right now, and the amount of people that think im cheating because I havent played faceit in 2 years(peaked lvl7) is pretty funny lolI blame Valorant for all the spergs that instantly lookup the stats of the entire lobby to see if they should just give up instantly
>>2058264It was forced on people despite huge complaints, and people are still complaining Btw: https://www.reddit.com/r/cs2/comments/1oquhiz/cs2_pros_were_asked_if_they_prefer_128_tick_or/In the end there is nothing we can do, Valve owns the game and we don't.
>>2031987Why is the esports thread so much larger than this actual game thread? russians addicted to online betting?
>>2061031>Why is the esports thread so much larger than this actual game thread? russians addicted to online betting?It's not just an esports thread. Some retard is convinced generals are forbidden on /vm/ and calling it an esports discussion thread is a genius workaround.
>>2061036newfag
Do they look at kill feed or map after every AWP shot, I would assume map to see if there are any enemy blips on it
>>2037973what region? whenever i play casual people get insta kicked if they fail to get a kill in one roundeveryone on casual plays like its the world finals
>>2061092What I never understand about Casual is the stupidly high amount of hyper expensive skins there. Like I've see maybe 1 dlore/howl in premier yet every casual match I boot into everyone has a knife and there's always 1 guy with a full trader inventory
This ban has been on my account for a month but I've never cheated in my life :(I tried opening a support ticket and emailing them. I just want to play CS.
>>2061377there's two esport threads, what's your problem?
>>2062560We've got the CS2 General (>>2057867), the CS2 Esports Discussion Thread (>>2057876) and this thread.
>>2062582>general thread>look inside>it's all esports discussion
>>2062765There's a grand final going on right now so makes sense. Having multiple different threads for the same game is nonsensical especially given how slow the thread moves when there's no big games running.
how much does it cost?
>>2066733I give you ten dollars for it
>>2035440Yes from cheat drivs, about half of the player base cheats + valve literally pays you money to smurf so it's in pretty much any skill bracket at this point.
>>2067783>half of the player base cheatsMeds.
>>2032043>>2031987I appreciate this, I hate the discussion of pro-neck beards as if I'm supposed to give a fuck about a third world nerd that I will never play with or against.
>>2032106>>2036167FPS has taken a hit for me too, I don't know why. I'm using an Nvidia RTX A6000.
My average MM Solo queue experience (my username is Boom! Headshot!)
>>2075410Also this one
>>2075410>>2075411You will low tab frag next game 100%.
i only play casual because i get really bad anxiety playing 5v5
>>2075517I used to do this too but casual has no skill based matchmaking so every game just boils down to whoever has the best player
>>2075464>You will low tab frag next game 100%."low tab frag"? what means
>>2075528It means if you click tab, you will be in the bottom of the scoreboard.
>>2075539Ah ok. In my day we used to call this “bottom fragging” but I guess your way sounds less gay
>>2075576Its the new zoomer way to say it and it does sound less homoerotic somehow...
What guys should I put in here? I really dont follow esports I am just here for the coin
>check csstats for bans in previous matches>all of them besides one were on my team>most of them were bottom fraggingwith two of them carrying it was obvious, but how do people cheat and still suck this hard?playing around 15k is hell, boosted shitters, faceit lvl 10s owning you, faceit lvl2s owning you, leavers, tryhard shitters whining after losing pistoli cant man, i dont know if this game is for me anymore
>>2075974Whose logo do you like?
>>2076042none, all of them stinks
>play dm>obvious aimbot gets votekicked>his buddy or bot owner or w/e starts to votekick everyone who voted to kick the botSo cheaters can see who voted against their bots and then kick those people?The absolute fucking state of this game
>Obvious cheater>Check profile a year later>Still not bannedgreat game guys
Asked this in the fighting game thread - gonna ask it here too. Has anybody experienced an adrenaline 'combat high' from playing at the highest skill level and winning against the best opponents in the game multiple times? I feel like a junkie and I am struggling to focus irl. Just looking for tips on how to manage this. Not sure where to even ask.
I have $180 of steam cash. should I buy a knife on the steam market? which one? help me out brehs, I want something fun
>>2075526how to fix it though :(
>>2078005>how to fix it though :(play either the premier, wingman, competitive game modes, or play face it (which is just another premier game mode).
I need some assistance. I currently have a pair of Slingshots FT that I'm rocking with a Slaughter Stiletto FN. Ever since I got into CS I have always longed for a BFK (yes, I know they can be overrated). I can either keep my Slaughter Stiletto ($400) or sell it and save up another extra $300 for a FT Crimson Web BFK around 0.27 float for $700. What would you do?
>>2077559Falchion has a lot of cool animations and it's under $200, i think they will even improve them with the new animation system soon since it's one of the knives that didn't get an animation update yet
>>2076882kek i wanted to do this too, but i figured i will just be disappointed and deleted the bookmarkthanks for indirectly confirming it
>>2075709it's not the zoomer way, it's a russian termEU and other players don't typically say that
>>2070373>It's impossible! You are crazy!If there is literally 0 consequence for cheating, why wouldn't you?
>>2075517I play competitive or premiere because the gamemode is just better with 5v5. And if you look at the players you meet, the idea of feeling any kind of shame or social anxiety for such "people" is laughable and completely ridiculous.
>>2075517competitive mode is basically casual but 5v5, you can buy meme weapons, rush, play badly and 95% players won't give a fuck for the most part, just don't totally ruin the game
>>2080819Nobody gives a fuck about this game in any game mode except faceit because literally 50% of players cheat.
>>2051259>How do you dress in real life?all black all the time so I always match
>>2048736Rezan clears
>>2080814>>2078556>>2080819thanks, i'll try competitive with that mindset later
Why the fuck can't I lock stage 2 and 3 picks on pickem? It always resets to 0 picks done when I leave the screen
>>2080768In EU they call it “submissive fragging”
Me and my buddy playing right now and most nights US East 8k~ and 13k~ premier. Add me up if you wanna join. Idc anyone's ratings just don't flame each other or our random teammates (you can bitch about them in the call)https://steamcommunity.com/id/quadpenteyes/
>>2087028Before i add you i have to ask: are you a transfolk supporter?
>>2087046No. We even have nigger sticker crafts on our guns. But I will say I don't want generally negative teammates who flame the whole game. We have a tranny teammate, whatever, they're trash and gay and retarded. Again I get that sometimes you have to vent about teammates in the call though when they're giga retarded. Just trying to avoid playing with people who flood the in-game comms and make everyone suck ass as a result.
>>2087052>a normal person on /vm/cslolsadly I'm in europe. Good luck with your games
>>2087070I figured it was unlikely to find any guys on US East at this hour. Hopefully can garner some interest over the next couple days and get 2-3 extra guys for games at night.
>>2087052Why does NA have so many trannies? On EU servers I’ve never run in to them.
>>2087427I've been playing since August and did maybe 200 games now and I've only seen one once. That said I'm judicious when muting my team. Unless you mean tranny as some catch-all pejorative for homos, in which case it confuses me too, I thought they'd be playing Valorant. But there is some weird phenotype of femboy that gets ultra competitive in videogames, perhaps their brain trying to find some kind of "manly" outlet. I don't know I'm just yammering. I'm still on for a while if anyone wants to add us and play some premiers.
>>2087486You're talking about the aim troons. There's an actual "aim community" on twitter and from what I've seen like 1/2 of them are trans.
csgokillyourselves
>>2089570From what I've seen while spectating, I really hope my teammates aren't part of some "aim" community. They may need to seek self improvement elsewhere.
valve says this is fair matchmaking, -400 +200 (soloq) game with the 8k shitter carrying 16k on his backinsane
>playoffs are three nights a week on nights that weren't standard during the main seasonESEA is extremely well developed in the "making a game I enjoy feel like a second job" field.
>>2097103Competitive games are already a second job
>>2098707I kind of wish that there was just an official 5v5 ladder in the game itself. I hate having to interact with this side of the community to play some real fucking CS. Online tournaments that you can play in one day are dead and open LANs are so few and far between in NA. I also don't think the current matchmaking system is prioritizing 5v5s because any time I play with my LAN teammates, we play cs_office and next to never get another full five to go against, making it an ELO nightmare.But in addition to ESEA thinking it's okay to bump up the amount of matches per week by one and on different days of the week when realistically you should be still at two on the same day and then you can use one night to practice if you want (my team didn't even scrim once this season) we also have to go against people that don't respect our time whatsoever. We had some dickheads last week trying to reschedule on Thanksgiving at 5:30 PM EST which is pretty much the unanimous time in the entire United States that day where you're not gonna get a response, AND THEN we 2-0'd them anyways. This isn't even considering the fact that these retards think that starting a best of three at 9 PM or later is somehow going to be good for the next morning. I have no idea why more league matches aren't played on weekend afternoons when there's nothing going on.Competitive games I can do just fine, but having to deal with players in any tier lower than ADV that think that they are going to somehow go pro is a bitch. All I can say is that I am glad that my team is correctly putting retards like this in their place. ALWAYS bully and knock out fake org teams with gay names, that's my mission.
Biggest difficulty in developing CSVR is the money. Who gets the money? The game is already developed by multiple companies, and exists in different name by those companies. Who gets the skin money? Who gets to just give to Valve, "employees"? By giving...can just be blessed by whatever is dropped onto the floor along the way?Subscriber pass money, and verified accounts increase the money given to customized gun camouflauged, and other skin camouflauge. Accounts are verified by live streaming gaming sessions, and possibly, "know your customer". The percentage of time, among all time, among all verified players, a gun customization camouflauge is equipped is the percentage of the total money earned from an interest earning bank account. The bank account is where all season pass subscriber money, and CS loot box key money, is deposited.Playing from picrel
>>2101843Kinda difficult to understand. Let me try some more.The artist account can be a steam workshop account. The gun camouflauge, or other cosmetic, is available through the steam workshop. Yes, custom gun camouflauges, and custom spraypaint decals, clothing uniforms, and gun charms can be equipped through the steam workshop. The amount of money the Steam workshop account receives is according to the percentage of time, among all time, from all verified players whom have the Steam workshop cosmetic customization equipped.For example, if one percent of all equipped 9mm Glock pistol customizations are the, "4chanlogo" skin then one percent of all the money from the interest of the interest earning bank account, are deposited to the Steam Workshop account uploading the, "4chanlogo" 9mm Glock skin.
I permanently removed this piece of shit game from my account
>>2107232why
>>2107232I only play it because Valve pays me about a dollar a week to play it. They've basically let this game run for years without a functioning anti-cheat driving away any kind of legit player and new players since cheaters like making new accounts. Premiere really is the worth matchmaking I have ever seen in any game, the majority of games are first time players vs cheaters.
Anyone notice matchmaking has been complete shit lately?I unironically lost 11 games in a row where I was the designated carry (8-9 of those games I was top of my team)What's going on?
>>2112811I cant play without getting mad about cheaters so i dont play.
>>2112811I refuse to play pick up games because you learn significantly less in them
>>2113074How can I get matchups where I learn better than pickup games?
>>2113249Get a team and play scrims
>>2115317>Get a teamNo team worth playing with takes people stuck in silver hell
>>2115500There are so many bad players out there that I would rather play with low official rating players that communicate as opposed to higher rated players that try to play for themselves and don't do shit.Basically, would rather take players that need aim training over blockheads and get two low impact kills and then get traded.
so many cheaters hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
