Counter-Strike Global Offensive (CSGO)

I use a milk crate, true greatness finds a way :p I have swapped my 2008 gfx for 2017 so expect me to spam ACE videos shortly :)

Possible Navi vs Gambit would be interesting

I've sat on a £1000+ Herman Miller at work, worth every penny.

Those racing chairs are just for streamers and kids

i bought a herman miller off a office that was closing down that had like 20 of them for sale for £75. i got the last one otherwise i would have taken 2 but they were asking £150+ for them. they all had to go within 2 days which is why they accepted my offer as they just wanted rid of the last one.
 
If its for someone in professional competitive csgo then they arent wanting a chair to relax in so a racing chair is most relevant ? I'm not super short or anything but I need to have a rest for my feet directly under the keyboard so I'm balanced ?
Also a giant keyboard I really think is wrong for csgo, my mouse always hits it. Eventually I'll buy another tiny keyboard with no numpad and no arrow keys, 1 hand span thats it. Laptop accessory not gaming they sell under I think.

Anyone dreaming of 480hz gaming :cool:

+1 for sure. I use a Ducky Mini (60%) and cannot recommend it enough for cs

I'm considering one of these or something similar, like a poker etc. I've got a tenkeyless but still find myself hitting it with my mouse sometimes! Finally played my first MM in months the other day, felt so rusty but I did enjoy it. If anyone fancies a few games sometime let me know, am GN3.

Back in aus I have a KBParadise as well, I would avoid that as the base is very flimsy and the quality is much lower than the ducky mini. I've heard good things about the Pok3r.

I don't play every day but feel free to give me an add /id/yungaxe I am MG2 at the moment after picking up the game again recently. I have another account which is not prime which i imagine would be around nova2 after rank degradation (haven't used for 200+days).
 
Was just in a competitive match, we were winning 9-3 and I was second overall. One of our guys randomly left a few rounds earlier, and we had another guy afk who wasn't doing anything at all apart from getting killed at spawn. Someone puts a vote to kick him and they tell me to vote yes, so I did because it was reasonable and was costing us. That left three of us which was fine for a few rounds, then one of them put a vote to kick me and they both vote yes. What's the idea behind this then? :confused: I'm assuming they must have needed to get off the game and by kicking everyone it would automatically abandon it?
 
Only if an entire team becomes bots does the game cancel. Each bot on your team or actual abandon reduces the cost of any lost ELO but all players who started will lose something anyway. I've played 2 v 5 and I presume the elo lost is calculated two fifths of a normal loss.

It doesnt really matter absolutely anyway. Quite a few games get nullified retrospectively if any player receives a VAC. Since June I had over a hundred players in my games receive a vac. An important point is surrender also reduces lost ELO, if you end the game with 10 rounds played and the score is 7-3 then your account will lose 4 rounds of ELO not the full 16. [equating to a full game 16-12]

Similar if you win a game 14-16 you will gain 2 rounds of ELO over the other team. It counts the rounds not absolute loss, win, surrender. I wish people got this point so we could just end and play the next map, properly with 5 people hopefully vs our own ranks skill range because you know thats the fun bit lol

[Kicking can result in cooldown, I imagine also surrender use could time you out, leaving obviously we know does this]

tl;dr they wanted to reduce lost rank

You're gaming and sitting in a chair for a few hours. Your ass starts to hurt and I have a bony ass. That and I'm in a regular fabric office chair that must be more than 20 years old.
 
What's everyone's experience with ESEA in EU?

I had a break from CS for around 7 months since moving to london from aus and have been grinding MM to get back into it. I am a bit sick of the blatant cheaters on both my teams and facing them. I am thinking about ESEA for the anti-cheat.

I ask had a browse on reddit but it is usually americans thinking the world is america.
 
Esea changed a lot maybe but usually it was high skill Eagle or above say.

Faceit also has anti cheat and another more casual site I can refer you to does a client. Both of those are free to start
 
Folks, Ive been out of CS since... well CS source....

I can see GO is quite different... is there an online guide or intro to bring me to up to speed about the differences? I can see weapon skins etc are the next big thing in this also?

I ended up playing a few games on ESEA and I felt like i did "okay" as a (currently) DMG player. It is very different to MM but it isn't anywhere near as toxic as Australian ESEA.
I think it will take a few more games to find my feet a bit and adjust to the play style.
The positives are that everyone has mics and calls in English.

I might give Faceit a go when my 1 month subscription expires.

I didn't play much source but the AWP is very different.
Skins are what keeps causal players interested (along with operations) but I would avoid both if i were you.

You could watch some WarOwl or something but i think the best thing to do is jump into some DM and have a play with each weapon.

Current meta is USP-S, M4A4 and CZ-75 (CT/T) for the choosable slots but many people use the m4a1-s so it's best to practice with both.
