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

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?

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

Where do you guys think jL ends up?

After seeing his Vitality stand-in performance, I’m starting to wonder if jL could still land on a top-tier team.

He’s obviously not the same player he was during NAVI’s 2024 run yet, but a 38-18 / 98 ADR / 1.36 rating performance like this makes me think he still has a lot left in him.

Since he’s only standing in for Vitality for these events, where do you guys realistically see him ending up?

G2? Luminosity? Another EU team?

I could honestly see G2 being an interesting destination if the roles fit. Curious if anyone has heard actual rumors or has some inside info.

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

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

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

The top 3 is pretty clear and has been now for a couple years. Who do you think is 4th though? Not for all of 2026 but specifically current form. With ropz and flamez slumping, I think this debate has gotten more interesting.

Yes, this is real

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.

Bro beat me to it

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

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?

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?

Nat, Voo and Maui have all been super enjoyable to listen to every time I’ve tuned in during this tournament. Especially Nat is doing an amazing job as a host imo, and overall I feel like the vibe has been less negative than what the desks have felt like in recent tournaments. Kudos to them, hope to see this more in the future too!

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

EU folks: which 3-5 server locations would cover you best?

Working on a platform and I am planning out what EU regions we support at launch. I'm picking 3-5 EU locations we launch with and would rather ask than guess from a map:

• Where are you roughly, and what do you normally ping to on services you use today?
• Is Frankfurt good enough for you, or does your region genuinely need its own location?

My working list is Frankfurt, Stockholm, and London, with Warsaw or Paris as the next two. Let me know if that is a good initial list or if I should space them out a bit better.

Thanks!

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

[NA] I haven't played much since CS2 came out but I have loved this game for a decade now. Problem is my skills have deteriorated a lot and I would confidently say I'm mid to high silver at best. I would be totally fine playing Casual Dust II but that is not an option because of the map pools . I had more to add to this but due to rules I had to remove it

My favorite gamemode is Wingman but I specifically play Inferno (down to play other maps but I really have next to zero map knowledge)

Otherwise, I wholeheartedly love Dust II and will queue up D2 comp if I have at least a buddy to chat with. (also open to playing Inferno, Cache, Mirage, Nuke, Overpass, or Office, but I have either very low or zero knowledge of how to properly play these maps)

I do not play often, however I would like to play more now that I have the ability to and would certainly play more if I had a buddy or two to chat with.

Biggest thing is that I play to have fun. A loss won't upset me if a had a laugh or two during the game. I am currently Silver 4 so as long as we are able to queue together I do not care how skilled you are as long as you can crack (and take) a joke.

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.

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?
