New Years resolution to not care about MM rank and to play for enjoyment. So 4 days into the year, I definitely did not turn into RobboRage and have a hissy fit when I deranked to GN3 when solo queuing. Nope, not me.

no but you turned on the hax instead.

ahh yeah, the master of trades.

what did you trade for it?

i really want a decent awp skin but dont have anything to trade for anything decent.

my best thing is a statrak BS griffin

M9 Bayonet, Huntsman and an AK Vulcan Worked out bang on the value which is nice because it is a Rare skin

Most people want a huge overpay on the Howl so quite lucky tbh

Never ask for Market value and try get as much as you can out of people while trading

Literally if you say "you need to add something" even if its like £2/3 overpay people will because 90% of the time the people wanting your item want badly, so they will over pay a little

joelk2 · 5 Jan 2015 at 11:29

but surely people can just sell their stuff for market value and buy the other item at market value meaning its cheaper?

ahh cool.

so for example. you are in my position.

i have a ST BS Griffin. would you stick it up with an any offer trade and just see what people will trade for it or do you stick it on and say i want an awp boom etc. with a market value of a few quid higher.

How much have you all spent in CS:GO if you don't mind me asking?

joelk2 · 5 Jan 2015 at 12:24

around £20 maybe less

Mainly on the Operations and opening a a case here and there

dottty27 · 5 Jan 2015 at 13:25

Adding it up Around £30 on breakout / vanguard / and cases

nutsnut · 5 Jan 2015 at 13:30

About £50 on operations/cases I would guess, maybe a little less.

Had absolutely nothing of value drop.

Trading, Had a few nice skins given to me also over the months which allowed me to trade up to nicer skins

Cookeh · 5 Jan 2015 at 15:19

Zero. Got gifted the latest mission, but would never buy them, they are absolute trash after all. Don't see the point in putting money into cases either, so voila... Not a penny.

If a group of you play regs on esea I'll sign up.

My free trial ran out, its a bit too punishing for me to continue with. Extremely easy to slip up and not amount to anything at my level at least. They are making some changes still I think, meanwhile I'll prac on their dm some

Kills don't mean that much it all depends on how important they are. I've gotten 12 kills in an ESEA game we tied but I still got flamed because I was playing awful.

If I play terrible or normal even lol I dont even get kills, anything over ten I feel I can put away the noose

Got to play 150% or dont login
I played a game where we had 4 v5 and people still getting upset about losing, seems pretty obvious we would to me. Plus CLK was on the other side but he didnt toggle on afaik
Ive had games with more teamwork on MM then esea, its higher rank but scrimy, deathmatch type gameplay it can resemble as the rank variance changes the dynamic of the game

and torque are losing last map 12-3

I bet dismay but only small but nice odds after doing a did a quick scan of reddit; I did consider a Torque bet which I'd just won placing vs rhythm who arent a bad team really. Old school 1.6 players have inner awesome seems like and they upset pretty big here

Cookeh is lucky, he gets the bank of raider knock offs

Is it really worth paying for the operations?

I'm really starting to get into CS again recently. Playing every lunch with a bunch of guys from the office.
