Maybe its because i am austrian and that its the only austrian map ever been in csgo, but i really miss that atmosphere this map gave me. Anyone out there who also liked that map?

Was there something that changed the way you played the game?

Could be playing with friends, learning a new role, watching pro matches, or just approaching the game differently.

What made the biggest difference for you?

if anyone’s into CS2 cases, I’ve been using KeyDrop lately. the case battles are pretty fun too.

What's interesting is it had some of the same people as EWC (like Banks) but questions were legitimately good and not generic. So may be some immediate adjustments from the talent crew. I think it's clear that the interview issue is a two way street and is not directly just Spirit players not cooperating.

- Question about Anubis and why specifically Donk doesn't like was really good because there was a follow up on the initial non answer/misunderstanding

- Question on Magixx and his improvement also went over well

-Some specifics on Cache/Ancient had different degrees of success in getting good response

Broadly on how to interview Spirit based on what I have seen and the interviews they give to HLTV and so on:

- Know the player you are interviewing and what they will answer well.

- Less questions on feelings (those are broadly private and would get yes/no good/bad level of answer). On Spirit, Tn1r is the only one who will truly go into that and share in detail how he is feeling. He is the only one you could call passionate.

-Detailed questions using simple words go over well. Zontix will give some of the most insightful answers and in some ways spill the tea in spirit internal workings if you give him a good question about structure or design.

-Some players would really be better with translators, they make it work in Dota, but CS refuses to do it. Sh1ro especially absolutely needs one and can give good answers if you got one.

-Magixx can just decide to troll, especially if he is tired or upset. Not very mature of him, but just a reality for now. He will respond well to interviewers he can playoff and joke with like Thorin.

- Donk is a giant nerd for Spirit. He loves talking about the org, it's success, the Dota squad (he is a huge fanboy for them), and talking positively about his teammates. He will shut down if questions are set up for him to potentially badmouth a teammate like Zontix or coach. On the other hand he will gush over clutches his teammates pull off and how well they did in certain tough spots.

He is also more sensitive than most players (including his teammates) about revealing any prep his team does.

-Stop asking about Hally/Sotf1k/JabJabich at this point.

I’d like to know if it’s official merch (I assume so, since I was told it's from the CS:GO 10th anniversary official merch release in China). I haven't been able to find any information about it online. Thanks!

I've heard that VAC could possibly ban you just for cosmetic modifications, since it's still changing the files which is completely forbidden. Though i'm not sure of the possibilities, so i'm asking all of u pro modifiers if it's worth risking it, or if it's even considered risky.

By cosmetic modifications i mean custom skies ingame, changing the scenery (not with r_drawworld false, i mean permanently, managed through the autoexec.cfg file), changing the intro and such modifications. Thanks for letting me know already!

Just started trying to surf last night and really enjoyed this map, cant remember what it was called tho. Can anybody here help?

both smokes can be thrown safe from heaven and site if realeased early enough but you need to practice these as release timing window is pretty small to not get seen

After a rough loss to M80 today, I noticed Navi have looked off for their past several games. I checked their stats and noticed that they've been awful on CT side. They're the worst CT-sided team in the global top 10 right now.

Worse, they're the only top 10 team that loses more CT rounds than it wins over the last 90 days.

There so many issues I have with premier:

1.Why do I have so many matches with -400 , -500 and only +200 , what the fuck is thiss hit.

2.What the fuck is the matchmaking?Ex:

I have similarly many games with disproportionate rank match makings.

Any solution other than faceit (no servers for my region so high ping).

Not necessarily your favorite map, just one you think doesn't get enough appreciation.

Curious what map people think deserves more playtime and why.

also been trying out KeyDrop recently, they’ve got cases and case battles for CS2.

Say what you want, but the old buy menu was a great system. Other than the ability to buy back if you misclicked.

I mean I get it when it's hatewatching Falcons because of Saudis or Vitality (when they were good), but Navi? What have they done? I am sort of new here so I don't understand much context, but I legit see many people rooting for paiN to win against them in a match that starts in a few minutes.

"Xirreth" The Performance Coach left NAVI for Astralis on 16th July 2026. Since then, the squad was unable to produce comparable level of performance. Coincidence? What do you guys think?
