MapCore CS:GO Team

[jackophant]

It would be pretty casual to start off with, no skill requirements or anything like that. Just a chance for a few mapcorians to play CS together outside of the maptests.

 

The idea is very much in it's infancy, but I just thought I'd put the idea out there for feedback.

 

There wouldn't be a strict roster, just a free form group of people to play a game with, maybe take part in some leagues or just risk matchmaking. We could post results of games, and even host 5v5 invitationals for other clans to play us on the new potential operation maps. Those of us who can stream can do so as well (on the basis that the person whose map it is has given permission), and post the videos on twitch/youtube as potential publicity for the map and try and encourage more people to take the operation maps more seriously.

 

We could even bet against ourselves and throw matches for profit

 

 

TL;DR: How would people feel about making a MapCore CS:GO team?

 

 

EDIT:

There has been talk of using a 3rd party league. I personally suggest faceit!

 

It's pretty easy to use, just follow these steps:

• Go to faceit.com to sign up
• You must choose CSGO as a game if you want to play
• Set the region as EU (unless we are all same region, we are unable to find a match)
• Enter your steam_ID as validation (type status in console during a game to find this)
• Add jackophant to be available for party invites
• Tell me to invite you to the MapCore CSGO premade team

When we do play a game, make sure to select a league with which to be entered into (for free accounts that's the daily and weekly leagues). Unfortunately you have to choose this every time you sign in for now, but I believe change is on it's way.

 

For the game to commence, the party leaders enter a vote system to determine server location and map choice. Faceit then automatically configures a server and provides the connection information. You can launch the game through a big orange "PLAY NOW" button, or can copy the connection info and manually access it within csgo which I advise as the launcher seems to cause performance issues.

Sounds like a great idea!

I like this idea a lot. Was fun playing with you before.

 

Faceit over MM is always a good shout as it takes rank out of the equation.

 

I have a teamspeak server we/whoever can use (10 slots so could be used for 5 vs 5 internal games)

Faceit still has ranking, just it's own system.

 

MapCore have their own mumble as listed in RZL's signature and I have access to another TS server aswell, 20 slots or so, but as long we keep the various haunts documented, it'll all work out.

The ranking on faceit seems to be used less for matching up though- faced a couple 'level 10' teams 

 

I'm easy though. I like playing with nice people.

[jackophant]

they seem to have scrapped that level system. Instead they use the league system that was previously only available to paying customers.

 

So you're now going to be unranked, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond or Master. This way you know if you were to start a premium account which league you would be in.

 

Either way, I'm not bothered by rank just as long as people are up for a laugh and can work together

[Beck]

Pretty cool idea. I would be interested

[Jord]

I've started playing CSGO a lot recently, I'm not great but I'd be interested too.

That's fine, I get the impression not too many people here have been exposed to the more competitive side of CS, and what I hope is that some exposure to this could benefit everyone, specifically in the interests of mapping.

 

 

 

If people are interested, add me!

Funny you posted this today. I was just thinking about how I never really got into CSGO despite countless of hours in Source. Sounds like a good excuse to return. Plus I miss the days when I played MOHAA on clanbase. Clan matches were awesome. It's sad though because people got so serious that it took all the fun out of it and I eventually left. I think I'm an average player but I'm not going to do training evenings and get bad mouthed for messing up in a match. Come on, it's a game. Let's have some fun!

[Mvllsk]

I need to make up the ranks that Ive lost the last time I played with you and doom x) I am certainly interested. I think I could be there 2-3 times a week, depending on the day.

Oi!

[Arcky]

Judging from the poll, it seems like someone has to make a Steam group at this rate

[LATTEH]

i would love to join but my 2/14 score on map test's says otherwise.

[Beck]

I play CSGO most nights so add me if you fancy a game: http://steamcommunity.com/id/ren182

 

Currently MG2.

 

I also get a lot of bots adding me but I'll try check for your usernames in the Mapcore Steam group before I deny your asses.

I've never really been one to bad mouth someone for doing bad. Firstly, it never helps whoever is doing bad, it usually makes them play worse. And secondly, as you said, it's just a game and it's for fun. If I do get annoyed it's at myself for missing that shot I should blatantly have landed
