Cheers. There was a surprising lack of messages after the game. I think my first MM would have been in 2013, I didn't do it until I was made to by operation bravo to get the gold coin.Congrats but you forgot to type ez in chat, I didnt play MM till early 2014 so by this timeline I got another 2 years no rush
I think people now use boomer as slang for anyone whos seen as olderEr, 32yo is a millennial not a boomer. Unless you're talking some CS slang that I don't get

It'd be nice if they had a queue only for Steam Deck. The update last night has revoked ranks pending an adjustment. Mostly Europe players wont see a difference, elsewhere in the world its possible to go from Nova to Global or NA the majority of players were stacked around silver 2.
Normal distribution in ELO should show Nova 3 as the most common centre but its been broken for years but apparently EU was ok-ish. I was hoping it was more radical, perhaps this is just the beginning of many revisions. I have hundreds of games in NA so hoping they give me back Eagle
tl;dr very likely you receive the same rank on your next win

Probably justified because I am rubbish to be fair

Gives you something to play for, its only approximate anyway. I recommend Faceit nowadays as a bit more sensible then MM, but not by much
I like the new map, its based on a tournament map from the 2004 era of CS. It should be reliable, probably stays in the game.
Golden Chicken coin is given just in the next few days. To match 10yr launch of CSGO. Its not available as ingame drop after this afaik
The rank fix worked for NA, a pro player I know there has gone from Nova 1 games back to regaining their Global rank. We can hope devs are on a roll and fix something else successfully

Looking forward to playing with you again.
I'll never forget your 1-Tap headshot on CT side Nuke to clutch a round.

Back into GN1 but can't get a game without a hacker, a smurf or team mates so incapable of playing the game it completely ruins the experience.
Going to give Faceit another try but know being low level it'll be just the same tbh...
Just want to play the game and have fun but almost impossible with the state of matchmaking these days
I still want to try FaceIt but third party platforms like ESEA, ESL etc were absolutely no fun to play solo back in the CSS days. I have tough skin but there's only so much constant verbal abuse can be thrown about because you lose a site before it gets boring
I'm not sure about now but a few years ago I paid to join the FaceIt UK League. I don't think that was the correct name but anyways. It was really good everybody was always friendly, nearly everyone was solo, everyone had a mic. Only problem was I could never really find a game until 6:00pm and later.
Soldato
Me and my playing partner are about to do this!
Have heard about the lack of Silver games but we'll see how it goes!
@MatteRB26, more than welcome to join me if you want to play some Faceit.
That'd be awesome, I'm so inconsistent now I'm not a teenager with 20 hours to burn
Right now I'm on the Wrath Classic hype train, but I'll be back on CSGO soon I have no doubt
Soldato

Don't worry mate, I can go from topping the scoreboard with a KD of 3 one game to going 3-20 the next game depending on how tired I am after work
I've just gone from Level 2 to 1 after a losing streak of about 6 games haha, all we care about is trying to have decent games without hackers or smurfs, which we only tend to get 25% of the time
Steam code is: 27268660 so feel free to add

Are you playing regular faceit or faceit premium? I've been getting too many games lately with 3 or 4 russians and since Putin didn't announce full mobilisation, that trend is probably going to continue!
Soldato
Good point, the one positive out of full mobilisation would be less Russians on CSGO
Playing regular Faceit Premium and the odd MM short game
Soldato
I haven't played for a couple of years and I dipped in for a few games yesterday. I know my reflexes aren't what they used to be, but are there a lot of cheaters out there, or am I just rubbish?
There was one round where a Russian named player got a headshot literally every kill. Watching the kill cam and subsequent kills, it just looked so dodgy.

On MM I really couldn't say. Faceit premium has barely any cheaters in my experience. Can't recall ever seeing a blatant one anyway.
