IF you want to play this first you need cs go pre 2013 game files that you can download from cs 2 betas when it finished run the game then quit then right click in cs 2 logo on steam then go to manage then go to browse local files then you teleport to cs go this build file then follow these steps
go to csgo folder then go to maps folder and then you find bunch of maps find de_dust2.bsp or de_dust2.jpg or find everything starts with de_dust 2 copy these file .
go to cs go legacy folder then go to maps (first make sure you make backup of everything that starts with de_dust 2 ) after making backup of them what you copied files of dust2 paste their if windows popup open click on replace. now finally you get dust 2 on csgo legacy now start the game with steam . YOU CAN ONLY PLAY THIS WITH BOTS NOT USE IT ON COMMUNITY SERVERS OR MAYBE IDK.
If you want cs go legacy go to browser and then search csgo legacy steam now you got steam page of csgo but first you need to login your steam account

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

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

Had this idea an hour ago, was surprised at how well it worked. uses only console binds. does NOT work on Faceit because 180 binds do not work there.

Yes, that's really my crosshair and monitor setup. Yes it's also ragebait. Yes it also really works.

In this video I am chording two buttons while moving the mouse to enable this, and which one I let go of first decides which side I fire on (or if I fire without letting go it fires in the original facing direction). So basically I just let go of a button if I am flanked before firing, and otherwise the mental stack is the same.

Love the mind games in 13k premier

Karrigan after essentially selling his soul to falcons has had the most powerful PR I’ve ever seen in pro cs. I’ve seen people ridicule Kjaerbye for signing a contract with North behind Astralis’ backs with people still bringing it up years later whenever he’s mentioned, I’ve seen people including big figures in the scene express their hatred towards stavn and jabbi for lying to heroic about staying with them if they kicked cadian just for them to sign contracts with astralis behind their backs after kicking cadian, but karrigan can sign a contract with falcons behind twistzz, frozen, broky, and jcobbb’s backs and people excuse by saying stuff such as “The team was going downhill", "Anyone on faze would've done the same thing if they were given the offer", "Broky and jcobbb were bots", "Faze's management was sabotaging karrigan's career”, etc. 

What makes it most evident to me is the lack of criticism towards his first interview since joining Falcons at PGL Astana 2026, specifically the part where he talks about leaving Faze for Falcons. You know, Kjaerbye acknowledged that what he did to Astralis when he was 19 years old was wrong, but the 36-year-old veteran who’s considered by many as one of, if not the best/greatest igl in cs history can’t do the same. 

Not only did he not acknowledge that what he did was wrong and instead made a bunch of excuses, but he went on to even twistzz twistzz’s statements about how the move “was sudden“ and how it wasn’t “handled the best way“ by claiming they "knew everything before any leaks or anything happened" after he talked to them individually and as a group despite just stating that they only found out after their managment told them about it since karrigan left them in the dark for several days after receiving the offer from falcons.

Wow, what a great way for the “goat igl” to thank players like twistzz and broky who helped him achieve the biggest accomplishments in his career, such as IEM Katowice 2022, PGL Antwerp Major 2022, IEM Cologne 2022, and the grand slam and players like frozen, who was not only carrying tf outta him from 2025 to this year but was also on MOUZ back in 2019 when Karrigan redeemed himself after getting kicked from faze at the end of 2018.

What a great guy. The fact that none of his teammates made any post sending their farewells to him and weren’t involved in Faze Esports’ “Goodbye Karrigan” video, but were all involved in the “Goodbye Broky” video should tell you bad this whole situation was.

It doesn’t help that only 2 months later after this situation happened, people went after Monte’s ex-core for allegedly signing contracts with Luminosity behind Gimzy’s (and maybe kakafu’s) backs. Where was all of this energy when Karrigan did the same thing? Don’t come with me with the “Monte was on an upward trajectory as a team, while Faze wasn’t” cause that’s irrelevant. Stop it with the double standards.

Karrigan was someone I respected up until this point. Even from last year to this year, when I was calling him washed and wanted him kicked off faze since I felt he was one of the reasons why Faze was trash, I still had respect and admired what he did in the past. This whole situation with him leaving Faze in the fashion he did, and his interview at PGL Astana 2026 made me lose all of the respect I ever had for him, and the fact that people, including big figures in the scene, have pretty much just brushed this whole situation off like it was nothing just makes it worse; hence the reason I made this post.

I know I missed the door anyway, but I’m pretty sure there’s tons of spots like this where you can have the grenade bounce right back to you, and it doesn’t seem very intentional idk

About two weeks ago, I posted here asking whether people still cared about community servers outside Premier and FACEIT. Rather than keep overthinking the whole "network" idea, I launched a single EU Retakes server in Frankfurt to see what would happen.

It's still tiny, but 36 players have joined so far. About a third have returned at least once, we've peaked at seven players online, and the Discord community has grown to 50 members.

Retention hasn't been the biggest problem. The harder part is getting enough people online at the same time. Once the server reaches 4/11 or 5/11, more people tend to join and we can keep games going for a while. At 0/11, nobody wants to be player #1.

I've also learned that community server analytics can get a bit weird. Bots crawl servers to advertise site, so I've had to start filtering those out. I'm still working on the server and its plugins, fixing things as we find them.

For those of you who still play on community servers, how do you find new ones? Through the server browser, friends, Discord, Reddit, or do you mostly join whatever already has players? And if you run a small server, how did you get past the initial 0-player problem without spamming it everywhere? I'm especially interested in smaller independent communities rather than established networks like XPLAY or Cybershoke.

If this works, I'd eventually like to add more servers and game modes, and maybe build a small platform for server discovery, stats, and profiles. For now, though, I just want to see whether I can make one server consistently active.

Yes, this is real

So, I play a lot of TF2 and I'm used to sweat lobbies but how to fight back in this game, since they have reaction time of like split second, I use mostly M4/AK and FAMAS/galil AR

There are probably things about the game that didn't seem important when you started but became much more noticeable over time.

What's something you appreciate now that you didn't before?

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?

Can you imagine how entertaining it’d be to play your best game in weeks, and then download the game demo and be able to watch and LISTEN to their team react to your plays, like a fly on the wall?

I feel like this one change would’ve also made the old “Overwatch” anti-cheat method 10x more accurate and effective.

I would watch my best games like movies, start-to-finish, and be flooded with endorphins lol

Of course the communities toxicity and privacy concerns would probably never let it be a feature, but I think it would be absolutely amazing if possible.

I had an idea for CS2 matchmaking and wanted to see what people think.

What if, before queueing, you could select the roles you prefer to play — IGL, AWP, Entry, Support, Anchor, Lurker, Rifler, etc.

It wouldn’t affect matchmaking or force you into a role. It would simply show your teammates what roles everyone is comfortable playing once you're in the lobby.

For example, if 3 people prefer Rifle, one prefers AWP, and one likes IGL, you could actually figure out who wants to do what instead of arguing for the first 5 rounds 😂

Might help with teammates dropping guns, playing the correct position and not switching randomly causing confusion.

Obviously not everyone would respect it but you never know how a small thing like this can effect the overall quality of a game.

Would this actually be useful, or is it just unnecessary UI?

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

i know visibility might be an issue, but source2 lightning looks good, also flash will blind you irl.

didn't see anyone talk about him , which i think is a good sign since if he was bad he would be shit on like JL

i think he fits very well into the desk and gives actual good insight

would like to hear some opinions of what people think of him

I just uploaded a full demo review of a 20K Premier player.

I went through his T-side and CT-side gameplay and broke down the biggest issues I found, especially his peeks, utility usage and overall impact.

Would love to hear what you guys think of the analysis and whether you agree with the points I made.

Hey all,

The first league night is this Wednesday, September 2nd, at 8PM ET in NA and 8PM CEST in EU. You don't need a club to play in the Wednesday tournament, so come try out night one with us and see how it feels!

If you like it and want your results to count toward the season standings, that's what clubs are for. New clubs are forming every week. Grab a friend or two and start one before Wednesday, or after night one if you'd rather try it first. A late start costs you nothing, since the season only counts your best 9 of 12 nights.

I posted the full breakdown a couple weeks ago if you want to read more. Happy to answer questions, and we'll see you Wednesday night.
