Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

I guess only a few who want to learn something will watch the short video. And you don't have to make it like me. You can also create it more obvious that players who already made such jumps recognise this jump when they see it. But a block as railings suits not well in the shown case.

What I mean by this is that you make this jump dependent on so many variables that it will almost feel random and cheesy rather than calculated design.

I get the risk and reward here but the problem with RAR in multiplayer is that it needs to be clear what this trick does for both teams. Otherwise you will end up with overpowered spots on the map.

if anything this will be seen as a glitch due to how it is in 99% of other maps. It's not expected for people to use clip like this.

It is two sided sword... The cool advantage of boost spots is that you can gain access to area you wouldn't normally have but this requires another player hence, drawing them back from other parts of the map. This means there is also an advantage for enemy team. If you see someone boosting you are 100% sure the other player is also there. This gives a crucial info in some situations for other players. Here you can't be really sure if there are 2 players boosting or just one so you get that out of the equation.

I doubt this will break the meta, and if it did would be interesting to see something new catch on in the community.

I've been reading that recently, people are unable to update their maps on the Steam Workshop due to the workshop_publish command being bugged. How long has this been going on?

Some update regarding the workshop_publish bug. Apparently this bug has been going on since the start of July. The good news is that Valve finally acknowledged that there's a problem with updating workshop entries... two weeks after the bug started appearing. And of course that means that Valve has absolutely no idea when this bug will be fixed ?

UPDATE: So I tried testing this bug out myself. The issue is that any files published after the start of July will not appear under your list of published files, making any attempt to update your map impossible. You'll also get an "An error occurred while retrieving file information" message every time you bring up the workshop_publish ui. You can still update the steamcommunity.com page, though.

Finally, our long national nightmare is over. We can once again update our maps using workshop_publish.

HenryG, the winner of Best eSport caster 2019, the man that came from nothing, has decided to retire from CSGO casting ?

I find this particularly sad, as he was basically the voice of CS for me, since I got into the eSport pro scene only in 2017. His duo with Sadokist was truly legendary.

Sounds like he will still be part of the CSGO scene, and luckily the announcement is coming in just a couple days. Sounds pretty big from the interview so I wonder how big: a new team he'll manage? A new TO completely?

Hopefully Virre will do a "best of" compilation to celebrate Henry's retirement.

HenryG announced he’ll be the GM of Cloud9 and they also have a new coach

Some Mapcoreans featured in this video analysis [that talks little about the maps and more about the game mode]

This is fantastic: you slowly dismantle the team with the biggest lineup ever, just to hang them out to dry once you can't accept you were the one failing the team. Not only that but on with the double whammy as the coach leaves at the same time... I mean Janko was with Faze pretty much only because of Niko in the first place, and the statement he's taking a break until 2021 sounds a lot like *speculation* G2 might be waiting out on their coach contract expiration to get Janko in.

Am I the only one that can't see how Niko was ever the No.1 player? I only started following the pro-scene in 2017 so after his Mousesports tenure, but apart some impressive highlights here and there I've never seen Niko take over a game the way you expect a #1 to... at least not in game that counted

3kliks has posted a new video about a super-complete guide to CSGO weapon skins. Thought I'd cross post here the link to my post in the skins topic.

Wow, especially that USPS ace at Nuke ramp

Does anyone here actually play CSGO anymore? I played it once with my old CS group (2 of which now have kids, reality check.) a few days ago for the first time in over a year.

That's not a problem in the ''it being a bad game'' sense, because it's not. But it is in the ''trying to find anything worth discussing'' 7 years ( or - arguably - 20 years ) down the line sense

yeah that's why I posted different stuff about pro-scene and what not... I mean there's been the coaching scandal recently. People used to also post their own highlights. I keep following the scene watching some bits of matches when the stars align and I'm free and there's a live game on and listening to Thoorin and recently @Pr0nogo

No idea, I stopped playing exactly for the baby-reason. Been wanting back in but every time I feel confident she's on a good streak of sleeping through the night she starts waking. I just thought that some bits could be interesting cos if people are mapping they are also playing at least a bit?

we talk more about csgo on discord. forums are kinda dead now

Forum died when sprony left
