    Its a different ball game when you can actually somewhat rely on your teammates to cover an angle

    You can never rely on your teammates unless you are a 5 stack at the highest ranks and even then :p

    Lost a key here on this one, pretty annoyed. Seemed like a sure enough bet.

    To make up for the lost key I went BIG on Na'Vi in a BO5. Except s1mple decided to become godlike and destroyed Na'Vi.

    Now I'm chasing money :(

    Choose team. Choose skins. Bot sends trade offer.

    It's that easy!

    Yeah but like...

    So you wager your skins like above? What do you win back?

    You win back skins! People bet skins and they all go into a pool. The value of this pool is added up, so you earn €x per € bet, depending on the odds.

    Just an example of todays game Fnatic vs Vega. Odds were like 96% for Fnatic and 4% for Vega. I bet almost $30 of skins on Fnatic and won $1.17 worth of crappy skins.

    Another game today xGame vs Exploders was a bit more even. I bet on the favourite, Exploders and put down 4 keys against them. Managed to win about $6.50 worth of skins.

    As it stands, I am currently -$12.85 in debt from betting :(

    Raging, was going to bet on TSM and Dignitas as the odds were far too low for teams of this caliber. Got the time completely wrong, so when I logged on both games had already started.

    Was hard to watch them win.

    Depends on your monitor. Most monitors are 60Hz so 60 FPS is fine.

    Yeah that's what I'm saying :)

    Also, after the above post I googled best settings for CSGO and they recommend a lot of it low to help competitive. I've adjusted to what they recommend and see feck all visual difference but an increase in FPS, so if people really do need the extra FPS...

    Is there ever time where its worth buying a key to open a crate? Seems to be terrible value most of the time.

    Yeah it's all pure luck.

    My friend got about €80 worth of stuff from 3 keys this week but must have spent at least 50 in the month or 2 before that!

    Thats what I thought. I'll continue collecting dozens of cards for a free €2.50 ish cause its an addictive waist of time. Then buy some cheapo indie title to play :)

    You don't ahve to have fb to play, just would make it easier for you to find a team. You could get one through boards or the LAN page when it is announced etc either. :)

    Any chance theirs a group of newcomers around to play with? I've only recently started playing. Been sticking to casual rather than going for competitive so far.

    Try competitive.Get your 10 wins to get a rank anyway. You'd be surprised how much better you can get very quickly.

    Since the latest update CELT is now the default voice codec on all servers. Apparently this makes for crystal clear in-game comms, compared to the crap we've put up with for the last few years. Haven't personally tried it myself but I heard it's almost like being in teamspeak.

    I really need to get back playing this. Have played it in waves and spurts every now and then.

    Reading back on the thread, the comparisons with people moaning about solo q in LoL is striking :D
