Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

My first ninja defuse

According to some I made a 200 IQ play lol

having not one-tapped those guys shows I'm not worthy

Interesting details regarding Source 2 and CSGO. And as well a shed of light into their process of mapping, I find very interesting the use of SketchUp, at least for Source 2.

Beta update overview by 3Kliks.

Intersting stuff on the sounds, I don't like Nuke's map update on vents, I understand why was implemented for the _short version for Wingman, but in standard? Curious to see how pros will adapt to that cos I can't figure the utility of this.

Unexpected update that can make a difference on the game, most notably: cost of MP7 is reduced, M41S has an extra cartridge available (I have run out when I was forced to spray).

There are some changes to Mirage and Canals as well. The tournament just starting won't use the updated version though.

"Lowered skillceiling to get into apartments from T spawn" = wtf, not that was hard? The only problem I ever encountered is that if you jump on the wrong pixel you jump vertically despite running forward.

"– Fixed some player collision bugs" I really hope this is the arch/door-frames we complained in previous posts!!!

you don't need to jump. that is the joke.

it's gonna take a while to get off that mechanical muscle reaction

lol I mean you NEVER needed to jump. the gap is clipped in a ramp shape.

Similar like the CT path to Appartments on Italy. 90% of players jumps its way into the entrance

but we must honor our ancestry

Had a very good match the other night just after the update

anyway new smokes are being posted all over

of course there are still clipping problems ?

My first proper ace* took place on A-site Cache, powered by the Mac 10... such lucky headshots!

I wasn't going on the hunt of the last kill, really I was hoping my teammate was wrong and that the last CT was rotating via Mid, to outsmart him by planting in B (considering the abundant time left)

* I basically had another one sometime ago but unfortunately last kill was after defuse.

When you clutch to perfection but you don't have a defuser in a force buy

After lots of rumors in the past months, has come out recently that SK clan has moved (back) to Immortals under a new-old name: Made In Brazil (creative!).

I understand they will be playing under the new team... from today! (didn't realise ESL Cologne was starting today)

When prop_static collisions are on (VPhysics or Bounding Box), Phong shading from sun isn't working. When collisions are off, it works. It isn't working too, when I mix two entities with disabled and enabled collisions. Bug is noticeable on de_train.

Props scaling used. I wrote about it to Valve CS:GO team, no answer.

It has been repaired with today's update: http://blog.counter-strike.net/index.php/2018/07/20556/ (bug is not exist in patch notes, but we can find an updated Phong shader files in platform/shaders/fxc and it works on de_train). And, for me, all models using Phong shading (weapons, player models...) looks different after update.

If you can't beat them, join them?

Tarik leaves C9 to join Stewie in MIBR. It's quite funny that you spend so much money to build a nation-specific brand, to toss all of it in the trash and replace players. It also gives me the chuckles that what is supposed to be a Brazilian team lives and practices in the US. Now that there are also American players, how is that not an NA team? Shouldn't this be taken into account in the scheme of things when granting spots for Major, deciding which brackets the team play in Minors? Or maybe I just don't have the specifics down right?

The reason the core of SK/MiBR moved to NA in the first place is practice opportunities. There are not enough tier 1 teams in Brasil (if any? I guess Luminosity is NA based as well?).

I get that, but then, can you call it Brazilian team? If they had to qualify for a Major, would they compete against NA or SA teams?

Speaking of the game more in general tho, Panorama UI... what you guys think of the new radar style? I'm not sure I'm convinced, maybe is just getting used. Inferno is very dark for example. I'm not sure to understand the logic behind switching the decoy behaviour.
