What's going on with the sercret room on Bazzar Skybex?

I am sure they are just there for storage Could be hurg put them there.

And that fence was put there like that on purpose *ahem*

FMPONE & ted:

On Season the bomb can get stuck at T spawn under the truck. Don't know if this is already fixed, but i think you should know it. This did almost cost me a round Luckily we managed it to win anyway.

Do you guys have a process for learning new maps? Not won a single operation vanguard game yet...

Just the same process while playtesting. Have a look at the map for a few minutes before playing them and counter the tactics of the enemy team. And as always. Sometimes you reck, sometimes you get reck'd.

you start by stop playing Italy

But seriously, while it's the only map you play, you can't get any better at other maps. Just DMing on them is helpful tbh. It helps with crosshair placement if it's something you pay attention to among other things.

tactics are down to you as a team, you have to know how to work together. you can build up to teamwork by learning a few useful nades/flashes/smokes (which dramatically improve your chances of surviving) and literally start with "hey guys, im going to smoke quad and flash arch; push arch when the flash pops"

I'll join you for some italy games when you have space if you want

Depends if we can all hide behind you. I've played at LE/SMFC rank before. It didn't end well...

We play other maps than italy but it seems to have become a bit of a safety blanket.

We're quite consistent on overpass...

27-29 November this is going to be insane.

It kinda bums me out that cbble is still in the rotation, that map's still not great.

soo things sort of just exploded. DH just got way more interesting.

It's moments like this when I get worried. I really want csgo to grow into an amazing e-sport. Hopefully things will get sorted soon.

I hope valve addresses this in a blog post. I understand this needs to be handled delicately. I just hope they don't ignore it.

Rumors are that these guys aren't the only pro players who cheat. This is gonna be interesting! Might come some last-minute VAC bans before DHW.

Can't pro players enter some sort of contract where they pay shit ton of penalties if they are caught or something?

I hope so. This is mega bad for the game.

Some light in these dark times.
