Counter-Strike Global Offensive (CSGO)

Downloaded it and gave my placement games a go, thank the heavens for 128 tick servers!

I found UK div 2 but apparently to be involved in matches and events i have to pay £4.99 a month.

Edit: What level of subscriptions are there?

Unlimited 3.33/mo & Premium 5.99/mo

Would an unlimited sub give me access to the UK Div 2 hub? or would that be a further £4.99 for that specific hub.

Im up for a game now and again.

I used to play cs 1.6, so i'm old school, my steam account is 14 years old now

we just played a game together. would be nice if we got 5 on at once. we had a bot on our team and we managed to scrape a win. bounce @ top of team me second. was good fun apart from the little russian kid screaming down the mic
 
asked for 2 channels to be created on the ocuk discord server. it's not letting me create a invite link. you will find one on here somewhere.

i'm normally in pubg channel send invite when your on. easy to get 5 together on there

£4.99 a month and that gives you access to the entire UK Circuit, but what division you end up in depends entirely on what FACEIT rank you are. If you're new to CS or not a seasoned GO player, I personally wouldn't bother - just stick to MM for now :)

128 tick servers, only UK players (so no screaming Russians) and a picking/banning system, so you'll get to know people.
 
The past week has been poor with the schools on holiday :/ only had 2 good games with coms and no one screaming
 
add me to your friends list "Psycho_Sonny"

I'll run through matchmaking with you. help you get those 10 wins.

Cheers, I have the ten wins from before but I have been de-ranked for not playing in ages. Apparently I only need one win to get re-ranked, but I couldnt face the MM lottery at the weekend. Playing with someone that is not cheating and pretending to have russian tourettes would be a big help alright.

Lowered my sensitivity on a new mouse also so I’m learning to aim again with occasionally hilarious results!
 
how is the quality of MM atm? Not touched it in over a year but OW and R6 are both pretty awful these days if u u dont just meme

Seems to be a lottery.

I recently gave up playing CS as it was more riddled with cheaters than ever, most games were just hack vs hack and it was pointless playing.

But for some people Trust & Vac net have made things better, for me I was lumbered with with more scummy eastern euros and turks than ever before.

Looking at demo manager from the last spell I had playing regular at least half the games now have someone vac banned, :( 2 games have 4 people banned alone.

Its too much of a uphill struggle to find a fair game, its either going to be ruined by people using cheats/those dodgy no recoil mice the ruskies love so much, or you get a handicapped team with a team mate who disconnects after 2 rounds.

Be nice to play with some people from here - feel free to add me, you can find my link in the official list.
Played with Silversurfer for a number of years now, always been good fun.

Current rank is LE but I'll happily play with anyone

There is a gigantic amount of new players and basically plebs who dont know any better. You can beat the really low grade muppets who are using pre aim. They are awful and too good at the same time, ideally you can force an advantage by moving not singularly. They cant move aim well or control recoil, dont let them fire 1 by 1 like the classic vs awp mistake.

They often screw up timing with the bomb plants and all sorts of mistakes, CS is a lot more fun with a good lobby but dont take the win/loss too absolutely serious. Half my games from October for example have been wiped from the records, the score was basically 0:0 because some idiots get VAC.

In Matchmaking the round difference is how its scored, 16:14 really makes little change. Also a lot of other factors, the enemy team can be 10 ranks above your team and that'd count a lot, etc. I wish Valve would throw in suspension of elo for bad trust players, some real out of the box actions. They are too conservative but also maybe they have plans I hope

My main take I always say is its all practise. If you are below LEM then you have a ton left to learn, theres a ton of mistakes being made by both teams poor nade use, whatever. Just have fun playing the game, if its wall hack on the other side be a lot more active and push onto a site dont hesitate. The xray data is not given at round starts for remote players so impossible for them to know everything, thats the main advantage to press ahead. The win is just a bonus to learning parts of the game imo, its shame people spoil it but the really old CS we used to play was a ton of deathmatch/casual/hostage servers with 30/40 people in it. Comp was organised manually, it was rare. Every Tuesday on Reddit we do manual 5 v 5 the old way, so play that but like old games the ranks are not close. CSGO has its positives and negatives.

If they are using aim assist then at least now Valve is running an entire armada of machines to pick out those cases. Apparently they can identify that information. WH would be more fuzzy but also less advantageous if you move fast and/or aim better.
