    I played a DM on Train today when I tested it, was pretty surprised. Obviously half of the server left and the map afterwards was Dust 2 again with 80+% of the votes, but nobody attempted to change the map to Dust 2. It's hilarious how the level of some people drops when they are not on D2, though... are some people really only playing 1 map?!

    Speaking of which: The entire skin betting industry needs to be regulated. Hopefully the new TV exposure raises awareness of these problems - underage gambling is a serious matter.

    Haha, a lot of pin owners are annoyed now. Oh well, I hope we get a cool Cache and Overpass pin at Cologne. I might attend the major anyway, if I can find the time.


    Otherwise, good quality of life improvements in this patch. Fading camera, better spectator options, all is well. Now we *just* need Source 2.

    There is another map on the workshop with the same name, though it is quite old. I remember it having a sort of Rapture-like theme. You may want to change the name of your map.

You enter that code, and you should be good to go. Since that's how it works with every other phone number identification I've seen... :) ( if you can't text you should change of phone ^^)


    On the long run that could however be a problem. You could have a new phone number already paired with another account and therefore couldn't pair your number with yours...

    They will know the real identity of people with that at least, and could even prevent them to have two accounts if they have two phone numbers :)

    Okay, I will try it with my normal cell phone later then.


    PS: It works.

    Is a normal phone enough for Prime? I still don't have a smartphone due to privacy reasons and I'd hate it if after the market MM itself would get annoying for me as well.


    As for the rotation changes: It was bound to happen. Imho both Inferno and Dust 2 need a little cooloff phase and small overhauls, so that's fine. What isn't fine is imho that Nuke - while certainly looking spectaculary - is too much detail for many older PCs to handle and has some design decisions that might break competitive play on it. Then again, without putting it into active duty you would never get enough data to actually fix it in time, so it is expected. I just hope they put priority on Nuke and improve it before the next mayor.

    Lots of injuries recently though. Guardian, Olof and I think some other pros as well.

    I think they need lots of data to make sure the fine tuning is successful, so putting it into Active directly after the major/end of the operation would make sense. A few months of MM and league play should make it viable for tournament play.

    That wasn't pretty CS, but fairly entertaining. Adren is making a lot of people doubt the recent roster change, maybe Liquid should have kept him and just switched him from IGL to this fill-in position. Anyway, with Koosta joining and Simple going back to rifles things will hopefully not change too much in terms of success.

    Very interesting tournament so far.

    I am pretty sure this means we will have a new champion that never won a mayor before. Astralis, Lumi and Navi really deserve it so I am fine with whoever wins. Virtus Pro are probably not strong enough to take on Lumi right now and I don't think the Americans will progress to the final.
