I played 1.6 and ran a clan and match team in css. I haven't played CS:GO but I follow dreamhack and intel extreme masters and ESL competitions and leagues. Makes for great viewing when it all hits the stadium and the crowd get involved and build the atmosphere.

This is pretty much what I do. Played 1.6 casually since early betas and then after a break played CSS competitively and fairly well for a bit.

Don't have the time or pc to play GO but find myself watching games (makes a nice alternative to football which I've never understood) and the level of tactics and tension now is unreal. The amount of money in the game and the professionalism of the big tournaments is way beyond anything previous versions managed.

Still playing Faceit? I've got into it more recently as I too find it better than MM. Do you play the premium or the free servers?

I've played about 10 faceit games, and find I get roughly 50% decent english speaking team mates and 50% toxic russian sounding trolls.

I also find I come bottom score most games, as Faceit as my level (5) seems to involve little co-ordinated tactics and just lots of very good entry fraggers. My entry fragging is not great, I am more support, but of course low kills = "cyka blyvat" to most of the 15 yr old russians.

I've still not played Faceit on my new account (Not played much CSGO recently either) but yeah you get that, just less hackers. Much better with a group of 3+ friends going into a game. However when we last played, matchmaking was enjoyable.

I also got your friend request, I'll accept when im on later.

PM me your Faceit username and we can play a couple sometime. If you solo queue you will always find it's less coordinated.

I completely missed this! Apologies.

I've not played Faceit in a while, not at all on my new account. I've been dabbling in a few other games (PUBG mainly) but want to get back to CSGO again. Send me a friend request if you like.

Amoeba, we will have to get a game in too. Not had chance yet

Have sent you a request.

Thanks I accepted.

Do we have a PH CSGO discord? I know we have a PUBG one.

I went one late last night, decided to play hostage rescue maps. Had a lot of fun. Not played those in a long time.

I quite like the new Panorama UI although not sure why I have a CT on the main page, as I never play CT, I only ever play T.
Not sure if you can change that tbh but I would have thought you'd be able to choose your player and then equip him with your current favourite/most prized weapon/skin. Seems only sensible to me.

You can choose what weapon they hold thus making them CT or T.

Inventory ---> Choose a weapon (for example AK47) ---> Inspect ---> Click the little man titled "inspect player model" ---> choose from the list down below "elite crew A/B etc.." ---> Then click the picture next to him to make that your choice for the dashboard.

Nice, thanks for that. Haven't dressed an Action Man in years!
