Semis were a bit of a letdown... Let's hope Na' Vi vs Astralis goes to 3 maps with a bonus overtime somewhere in there

I pick/support NaVi to win.

Dang didn’t manage to put couple quids on them, been running around all day

[blackdog]

The first and probably unique behind the scenes of a CS tournament we’ll see

- MP5SD available in MM

- boosting enabled in Casual (!!)

[blackdog]

They look so clean! Was about time!

Curious to see the boosting, if they kept normal collisions off

Normal collision is still disabled in Casual, but you can jump onto each other now.

[blackdog]

Awesome, not that I play Casual anymore… I’m so used to play 5v5 that sometimes it’s harder to play Casual just for the number of people around.

We're almost there boys!

Haven't played in a month between holiday and return to work-being tired… but "it's like going on a bycicle"

 

[blackdog]

Wow, hats off for @FMPONE and @jd40!

 

[blackdog]

Sadly the update also removes Shipped and Insertion from the rotation, while Austria has been promoted to Competitive matchmaking... congrats @Radix!

There are also changes in the economy of pistol rounds, read in the blog:

I played Austria loads in DM, was great fun, but last night I catched my first competitive match there. Good fun, grats @Radix!

Nice retake @blackdog!

I'm still surprised how well the map is doing after all. Even though it's pretty different to the other competitive maps, many people seem to enjoy de_austria. But I'm lucky that it didn't replace a more popular map than canals.  So pretty much no hate going on. No death threats. Nothing.

It's also pretty funny to watch all those youtube guides that tell me how I should play my own map so that I don't get destroyed completely anymore. I'm getting better slowly...

Thank you. I do like the map because the different layout not muchmuch point playing always the same thing. 

Anyway some smokes described here (very annoying that they are all "stupid", whatever that means)

Congrats to @jd40 and @FMPONE, their maps already got promoted to competitive!
