Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

The quality of the games so far has been amazing and the final is literally a dream come true. Both deserve it imho, but given that Astralis still have to win a major  I will probably root for them a bit more.

Probably the best final we had in at least 2 years.

E-League Major finals were awesome, almost as if it was scripted.

 

New update: Dust 2 out, Inferno in Active Duty Pool. Also Dust 2 gets its own category in Casual match search. It is a legendary map after all.

Woohoo! Now instead of a constant rotation of Dust2 and Mirage casual will be a constant rotation of Inferno and Mirage, and everyone will ignore Hostage/Reserves again. 

[RivFader]

I really hope they will fill up Reserve and Hostage with popular Operation maps. Santorini, Season, Agency seem to be prime candidates but I wouldn't mind some Resort, Ali or Siege either

 

 

Speaking of which: I really hope Valve hurry up with the new Operation. It feels like Thrill, Austria, Concert, etc. will not even get a shot if they wait any longer as a new bunch of maps seem to near completion...

"Although there is no timeline for reworked Dust 2's release, Johnson did share that Valve doesn't like to "sit on" completed content. In other words, when development of the map is complete, it'll be published whether or not the next operation is ready. And yes, there's an operation on the horizon."

So many cheaters lately. They don't even try to hide it anymore. Spinbots. Wallbangs wherever possible etc.

Nice video from WarOwl on this topic: 

Also, first high-tier pro matches on Inferno yesterday at Dreamhack Las Vegas. Seems to play similar to old one, still early to judge though.

Valve got you covered with machine learning algorithms feeding overwatch cases!

[clankill3r]

Yeah I readed about that.
Could be really interesting.

I switched to prime now, it seems to help a lot. No spin bots so far.

Discover there's a tournament only because some dick tries to play some random YT video on my smart TV, play fails and on the main page I spot a CSGO Live stream.

#ESLPRO

Is this the tournament was mentioned recently or the Major was another event just before?
