As far as 144hz monitors go, thinking of going for the ASUS 24" since it has the most reviews, is from a more respected brand (as opposed to Acer), and can be bought at BB for 270 free shipping. If nobody has better suggestions or reasons not to go with this one then I'm probably going to put in an order tonight.

This is a great monitor. I play much more consistent on it than my 60hz IPS

Oh wow, thanks. How do you guys find cheap prices like this? I usually just go to newegg, amazon, and some big box stores hoping to get lucky.

i just checked the us site because i thought i saw it for cheaper in canada
also, ive been checking out that monitor but id rather go with the xl2720 because I am tired of 24"

Ya they're definitely not the IBP everybody thinks they are. Last 10 or so days have really put them in a slump.
I think thes had huuuge expectations for ESL, especially after winning gfinity, so dropping out in the group stages AGAIN might have putten them into quite a big slump. Lets see if they can work it out. I won't bet on them again though, that's for sure. Lost four of my 10 cent betting skins. Again..

Oh right, I've now lost all my shit with betting. I lost 3 'safe bets' where the odds were like 80%+

It was fun while it lasted. 2 days or so.

I lost a bunch of ESL stickers on iBP :\


PS. If anyone needs help in competitive feel free to add my alt cs go account (LoongCat). Preferably from EU but I don't really mind playing with US guys either. Not even ranked yet on that account and playing against silvers and novas was entertaining (100+ point games)

Currently DMG on my proper account and probably eagle soon if I can be bothered to play on it.

I microwave steaks.
I have crazy CS withdrawal symptoms. Our group is gonna be Nova 3 when I get back probably. Pls don't leave me behind :O

i'm actually already a Global Elite.

also, I just found out that I have had mouse acceleration on. 374 hours and I just find this out.

I don't mind helping you out ussjtrunks.

It's probably better to add my primary steam account (in my profile) since I'm using that most of the time and I can just switch to the alt when you play so it doesn't make the match making rank higher.

So I went an played a game with trunks:


Didn't get him out of silver 1 yet though, hopefully next time :)
Probably gonna find a harder match next time since I got ranked.

Playing against silvers almost makes me feel bad, heh.

That motherfucker must be on stims. Unscoped AWPing two HR players inside apps on Inferno.

I saw that and I was thinking "no wtf are you doing with my bets pushing with an AW... what the FUCK just happened"

of course they lost my $10 anyway :|

Today was a rough day of betting. EU matches starting to all look like 50/50s with betting on the underdog being the best strategy. I don't know how people think it's only NA matches that are extremely hard to predict.
 
I started out on Silver master Elite and slowly leveled out at Silver IV. Kept climbing up and then dropping back to IV due to bad teammates. Recently I began playing with friends who are new and I think it affected my rank negatively.

Anyway, I just played two games solo and got smashed the first, the second my whole team abanonded and the other guys were huge jerks so I 1 man'd it with bots, but in the process lost every round. I never thought I'd see the day but I dropped to Silver III. Is it because I essentially lost 32 straight rounds (lol) or does it take the bots into consideration? I should have just surrendered but the other team was pissing me off.

ahaha. Don't worry. Keep playing with your friends. They'll learn and you'll all get progressively better.

I was a Silver Elite Master as well when I started playing with other gaffers. I then progressed back down to Silver 4 about 3-4 times. We've all gotten better and 3 of us are now Nova 1s. It'll take time but it's worth it.

Haha I started with friends and they just held me down. Randoms were better than they were. They weren't improving at all.
 
I should mention that come November, I'll receive my ten year badge :p

I haven't clocked an obscene amount of hours in CS but I've played it on and off since 1.6. I''m definitely better than Silver III, SME seems about right and I always lead my team but I just had bad luck with Randoms.

Is there a 10 year badge? does it just count the year that you bought cs source? Because I remember registering 1.6 on this account 10 years ago.

I bet big on iBP and won everything I lost back :D I also put a good amount on VP tomorrow since it's a bo3. If HR lose me money twice in a row the salt will be flowing.

Also made it to double eagle tonight. Haven't lost a match in 3 days or so.

Was watching a dude open 100 boxes and I said I gave him my luck.

Not 25 seconds after he opens a M9 Night MW.

I am literally RNGesus.

I kind of have it in my head to play some ranked CS:GO. However, my playtime right now is limited to times when there's a sleeping baby and I won't be talking. Are there a lot of people that don't use voice comms or should I not even bother? I have no issues holding off, just think it'd be fun to measure where I'm at these days.

I guess I'm not good enough to make the list :(


I do too. I like the better control. But sometimes the AK work well. I just have a love/hate relationship with the AK.

I could have said play with Shadownet, Phoenix, Fish, and shalalalallala instead if that makes you feel better.

And you need to practice spray control with the ak, you can't live on galil forever!
