    Getting to Global Elite by planting the bomb a lot.. Make sense indeed


    Getting onto a Bombsite and planting the bomb is #1 objective on the T side, it greatly enhances your chances of winning the round. But sure prove me wrong by getting to global without any MVPs.

    Anyone else having problems with comp servers? Twice in a week, for the first time ever, ive had 2 servers go down during a game. One of them went down about 4 times in a match, ended up taking nearly 1 hr 30 to complete the game

    Seriously though, you're right. I remember a stat from the last IEM, was something like >75% of the time on inferno when bomb is planted on B, T side wins the round.

    Nobody really knows how it works except for valve. Plenty of people have theories though and the mvp one kind of makes sense.

    http://team-dignitas.net/articles/blogs/CSGO/8289/how-to-climb-in-csgo-ranked-by-securing-mvp-awards

    Neither of those articles offer any proof of how the ranking system works. Convincing conjecture at best.

    Well unless you can get a valve employee drunk and charm it out of them, that's the best you're going to get. Nobody outside of the CSGO Dev team actually knows how the system works.

    Exactly, nobody knows. I would argue that nothing is better than those articles since they are making up their own assertions with no evidence. Definitively claiming MVP's increases rank is nonsense.

    Think there is a site that you can stick people you think are hacking into. it will keep a list and you can check if they have been banned.

    vacstat.us

    It sounds bad , but i generally add everyone i play against to the site.Typing status into the console and copy pasting in is easy. I like keeping statistics of games I win/lose for my own record. And I can actually go back and readjust from vacstat.us since games lost against hackers get re-adjusted to a win. won games stat won. But it means if you queue with a hacker, and they get caught , the games you played with them get re-adjusted and you can lose ranks.

    Anyone else excited for MLG columbus?

    So essentially I'm gambling with no chance of making anything back. Seems silly. Then again so do trading cards..

    Stickers may go up in value after the major , probably not though.
    Some of the cards are selling for 3€+ so some profit to be made on opening expensive players from the packs.Opened a shiny guardian and sold it for 9€ ez profit.

    If you get a certain amount of points from picking the right teams you get a badge you can display while you play.

    Fup all worth note really. If you actually want to bet, use something like csgolounge. Buy some skins (on OPskins so you can trade them instantly) and bet to your hearts content.

    The smoke pained me to watch :o

    Not quite sure what the point of it was at first, then you slowly walk through it. That's a great way to get yourself killed!

    Recently I played a game where we were two CTs left, vs two T. The bomb was down, and someone on comms kept shouting to use my smoke to cover defuse, so I quickly tossed the grenade at my buddy's feet as he went to defuse, but it turns out it was an incendiary (it was he who had the smoke, and popped it a half second before I threw). So he jumps up on fire and then gets shot, and I try to find a position to defuse where I'm not burning to death, but have to abort the defuse with 2 seconds left cos I've 12 HP left, and then I get shot too.

    They were surprisingly cool about it.
