MapCore CS:GO Team

people are hung up on this idea that number of hours equates to a rank. I have no idea where it's come from though. I know people who were ranked at GE after their 10 games, and some people who are still silver after thousands of hours. All I know is that this mapcore team is gonna be awesome

Don't make me blush

Carrying isn't effective and can be extremely stressful. I'm much more for organising strats around the players available.

If your aim is one of the worst on the team, I'll stick you where aiming isn't so vital. If you're slow to rotate, I'll keep you central etc.

A default setup is always massively helpful as well so people have a sense of purpose at the beginning of a round rather than floating around unsure because someone hasn't called a strat.

As vaya says, even some of the pros are only LEM, but that's probably more because they don't bother with mm in the first place

I haven't played csgo in 2 weeks, I am ITCHING to click some heads!

I've set up an event on Sunday 15 March 2015 @ 17:00GMT

It's an awkward time and I expect people will dip in and out according to meal times and map test.

I'll start with a team of 5, but if we have more people we can organise into more teams of 5. Depending on retention rates and results we can shuffle the teams around so as to keep the skill levels as even as possible as well.

While I am not explicitly ruling out non-EU mapcorians from joining us, due to ping constraints, EU members will take precedence! No hard feelings guys, but someone with a ping of 400 isn't going to have fun and neither is the team who is essentially a man down.

I'll update with TS3 info nearer the time but if I forget to, please just message me for it on the day

See you there!

Last night was... interesting? lol, but still fun!

I think as time goes on, we'll all get a better idea of each other and what we can all do. Right now there is a bit of a herd mentality (too many T side 5 man stacks), but when we can move past that games will go a bit more smoothly!

I'll update the OP with some info on faceit and provide my account link to add so we can go from there in future.

One of the things I've been trying to work on is a website to help learn grenades. I know there are a few out there already, but I'm aiming that mine will be fully responsive and... *tails off into a rant*

...be built to a strict criteria to make sure it ages well.

I'll even go as far as to create a config in which to take screenshots with and what is required in the screenshots to ensure consistency so others can suggest nades.

It'll plug into a database which will keep a few stats on each tactic and use imgur links. I'm thinking maybe... 4 images per grenade? Try and keep them to be static throws as all the 64/128tick jump bind nonsense is annoying.

ANYWAY, the point is that it will be a nice little reference to help us all play better, so when I ask if anyone knows how to smoke CT on mirage from T spawn I won't be met with a wall of silence

Back to the lofty heights of Nova 4, deranked from MGE

Back to the squalor of DMG, my ungraceful decent from SMFC

Good games tonight guys!

I feel I have to apologise for that last game, I really lost my rag and snapped at my SO when she was asking me to do something. I feel really bad, no excuses so I'm going to publicly apologise. It's not helpful and it can't be nice to have to listen to.

Sorry guys, even though we made a valiant comeback , we just stumbled on the last hurdle!

Quote from Pampers

I'll tell her you apologized.

I've created a premade Faceit team

MapCore CSGO

See if you can request to join, I've sent invites to everyone who has set up a faceit account, apart from Pampers as he hasn't finished his setup process yet!
