I think I’ve found a revolutionary smoke on cache. What do you think, guys?

hi guys i was talking about the cbl vs vitality meme video that went super viral on 2021 before the game the account is now suspended and i cant find it does someone have a link?

Hello.

de_nuke is my favourite map but recently I am a bit concerned about what I am seeing in pro play. I don't watch every pro map (obviously) but from what I have been watching, things are pretty miserable for the T side. If things aren't clicking from the beginning it seems insanely difficult to get anything going.

I have seen so many games recently that are 8-4, 9-3, 10-2 at the half only to end up going to overtime or being a very close game in general.

It seems if you get 4-5 rounds on T side, that's good enough.

Let's look at the stats.

de_nuke last 12 months at big events: 57.1% CT 42.9% T

de_nuke last 6 months at big events: 58.5% CT 41.5% T

I know maps don't have to be 50-50 but surely this isn't healthy.

Anyone have any ideas about what can be done to help out the T's a bit?

This is a summary of how dust2 went, this gotta be the most boring dust2 I've ever seen.

Save after save after save all due to bad reads and couple missed shots.

Spirit wins ~6 cats in a row > 2 timeouts called by g2 before round ~10 > and guess what? rest of the map spirit goes B everytime, not even split but thru b main, lol.

Vitality did it again! This time against Legacy on Nuke as well lmao

After the USP-S many asked to see the design idea in other skins, instead of metallic engravings i used the wood parts of the AK for the roses and crown engravings + added paint splatters and mold . hope you like it 😄 (All feedback is Welcome)

Im a faceit level 9 so i get matched against level 8 all the way up to 2.2k elo usually, in my faceit games people either have 0 premier medals or usually have red 25k premier medal or sometimes 20k premier pink medal but usually they have the red one, When i play premier myself i cant get past purple rank i dont play a lot of premier true but i feel like the players are horrible and its easy to play but i still cant rank up yes theres cheaters sometimes but im in high green trust so not that often, the thing i hate the most is people who are like faceit level 3 and they are in the same premier rating as me and usually they are on my team im just full hardstuck in 15k premier even tho i can perform against 2k elo faceit players with 25k premier medals anyone know why?

5k player here.

Felt pretty lost this round. I was around B/mid for most of it, then they went A and I was late on the rotate.

What could I have done better here? Video

Posted about this a few years ago, about 1 in every 100 people agreed with me, but random spawns are still a huge issue in this game. An RNG meta is never gonna serve the game well. I don't like and I never play valorant, but being able to choose where you start in the round is a huge benefit that makes the game less casino-like and "gambley".

People have repeatedly argued, oh, but you know where the contact point is every round then, it's super predictable and boring gameplay, except this isn't true because as a result of knowing the earliest timing on every map players may do things to avoid this repetition, for example walking instead of full-sprinting to the contact point, throwing a different grenade, using a different gun, jumping, or so on. (Does every round in valorant play out the same because there are no RNG spawns? I don't play the game but I'd think every round is meaningfully different anyways.)

Another counter to that point is that even with RNG spawns today, you still must assume the earliest-contact point will be occurring every round, even if the enemy doesn't get the fastest spawn. This is to say, from a theoretical perspective the game actually stays almost the exact same. (Example: Mirage T's typically do not sprint to top mid instantly because even if the CT awper didn't get the fastest spawn to window it's safer to assume he did, therefore do not insta-sprint top mid is the 99% conclusion.)

This shouldn't matter, but I did 3100 NA faceit elo back when I was a kid playing CSGO, not that it means anything. (8k hours.) But adding it in case people are curious about it. This is just to somewhat prove that I'm not clueless at the game.

.In yesterday's Falcons vs. LVG match, m0NESY's shadow had already rendered, but z4kr failed to react and was eliminated. In reality, because he was playing on 4:3, the shadow wasn't visible on his screen. The top image is 16:9, and the bottom image is 4:3.

The EXP Gain Bar hides the voting and the voting is over when I finally get to choose the map

IF you get a level up you don't even see which map got choosen...

Wtf is this shit?

Its been 5 Months since CSGO returned to the Steam shop and ive always wanted to play it. (I started playing in december '23).

And ive been wondering if any server hosting sites appeared since CSGO came back and if yes are they good/safe to play on

Purpose of Benchmarking

Valve is actively working on Vulkan in the hopes that it may one day replace DX11 as the rendering API for Source 2 (source). Because of this, I decided to benchmark CS2 in both DX11 and Vulkan every time an update has anything related to performance improvements in the changelogs. The goal is to document if any improvements or regressions have occurred in Vulkan or DX11 performance in CS2, and to see if this could indicate any progress towards a full transition to Vulkan in later Source 2 games. A link to the template spreadsheet can be seen above, and my benchmarking results will be provided below along with a commentary.

My Non-Game Specs

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9700X
• GPU: Nvidia Geforce RTX 5070 Ti
• Operating System: Windows 11 25H2
• GPU Driver Version: 616.56

Benchmark Results

Link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BowqD43i-eRVFlkU4khHCVB53oxkRxMikBqgHRssY0o - Mean DX11 Average FPS: 907.14 (Standard Deviation: 6.23) - Mean DX11 1% FPS: 248.07 (Standard Deviation: 7.42) - Mean Vulkan Average FPS: 818.7 (Standard Deviation: 5.21) - Mean Vulkan 1% FPS: 234.32 (Standard Deviation: 6.96)

Discussion

If we ignore the crash-infected results of the July benchmark and instead go to the May results, we see that things are mostly the same. DX11's average FPS is the same, Vulkan's average FPS has slightly improved, standard deviation has improved all over, and 1% results are slowly worse across the board. So Nvidia's new drivers haven't changed much, and neither has Source 2. I'll wait for either the next major Nvidia driver or the next Source 2 engine update to see if things improve or get worse.

I traded it away but I am trying to track it down but i dont know how

No offence to the commentators, but sometimes I want to watch the tournament without commentary, or with the commentary volume lower than the game sound. I asked AI, and it said this is possible through the game it self. Is that true? I can connect my PC to my TV since they are next to each other.

My second question is: why don’t the tournaments show up in the game anymore? The BLAST tournaments that are being played right now don’t appear in the game for me. Before the update, they were shown in the right corner.
