Such a performance from NIP, proud to be a NIP fangay

This weekends been insane with teams winning who you wouldn't think would.

Also seems higher up the ranks I get the more I'm running into griefers / hackers. Just played a game against 3 hackers 2 of their team quit as didn't want the win / rank derank once they got banned.

Do you still derank even if you're not partied with them?

Nope.

The game cannot count if one of the players got a vac afterwards. It'd be nice if they clarified details but fairly sure. So you do lose that victory even if the other 4 played legit it must be I think.
Maybe it doesnt strip the rank if you didnt lobby with them, found I cannot queue with a DMG without a rank

Just had a dominant game with Famas/hatori_hanzo on overpass (we started well after envy inferno start and we finished and they still playing lol) and one guy with 100 ping was doing very well, the other team say nice hacks but if I see nothing to suggest so that I cant really report. Valve probably on verge of ignoring my reports as I do tons of reports because I see so many hacks in arms race due to rank 2.
Ive top fragged with 100 ping on nyc server so that alone cant be taken, just its slightly surprising

spreadsheet again if you are new, add self - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1n6ruDsC731Nind8UrZTY_bGzPAscnxb_tGd1VTmmTwA/edit#gid=0

G2 continuing the trend :eek:

If NIP continue the same they should beat navi though Guardian > Allu

700 keys for the very worst awp skins possible, tempted ?

If NIP win through to final, thorin has to shave his head for being so wrong.

Just placed my knife on envy to try and recoup my losses from this major since I've lost every bet. I feel I may regret this.

ZeroG · 1 Nov 2015 at 16:44

This is the first majors I've actually watched live and I must say I rather enjoyed it. I think helped on a little bit by getting an AUG drop in one match

Hello chaps, relatively new player here but its starting to click now.

I'm only rank 3, done 2 competative matches so far and although I've come top for my team both times we've been absolutely destroyed. Is it just pot luck with the matchmaking?

For your first 10 matches you'll keep getting put against different skill groups until it works out roughly where you belong for your final rank, most likely you got matched against low ranks to start then higher ranks to see how you perform.

I cannot stand that Thorin guy. Does my head in.

Ayahuasca · 1 Nov 2015 at 17:21

Aye he takes it too far, jumps in too often as well.

benji182 · 1 Nov 2015 at 17:24

I find him rude and abrupt. Feels like he is talking down to the other pundits and their opinions aren't right.

Just the vibe I get watching him though.

shauncr91 · 1 Nov 2015 at 17:32

I don't mind him tbh, he's amusing

ZeroG · 1 Nov 2015 at 17:41

The thing I didn't like about the placement system was you could only win 2 games per day then was put on a cooldown. I understand why they did it, the same with the ranking needed to start comp games but it was still annoying.

I thought Envy was fairly clear to win (Im slightly biased between them and NIP I guess), barring maybe a major kennyS choke. Cant be sure but they should be better over 3 maps, navi were already full throttle to get this far.
I read advice that due to bad odds it should be a low navi bet, so I wussed out and found a site with navi at 23% and hedged it there. ie. went low Envy

Thorin is ok, he just trolls. basically banned by esea and esl from any involvement I think, so watch those lans

Envy playing very strong on Train considering it isn't their pick, if they get this then it should be GG on cbble.
