understandable, I got the same way here, I didn't wanna watch BB Dacha. Just FYI, in case you are new, the top teams are NaVi, G2, FaZe, Spirit, MOUZ, Vitality, these 6 are usually in the league of their own, however teams like pain, mongolz, liquid, col, 9z, saw, ef, astralis are sometimes capable of putting up a fight

we are cooked bro

cs isn't IEM only, this year tier 1 cs has two TOs, Blast and ESL/IEM
right now we have pro league, after that it's blast fall finals in Copenhagen followed by blast global finals in singapore and then IEM Rio.
RMR are regional major rankings, it's the last regional stage before the major. It decides which teams go to the major and the ranking of the team decides who goes to which stage

cheatolarnt joining its older brother cheater strike, it was bound to happen

iem rio is in october I believe, but it's sorta a warmup event before RMRs (major qualifiers)

astralis are shit as well :D you can cheer for NA CS, or SA CS if you like some underdogs. m80, imperial, pain, red candids. tier 2 eu which is solid is EF.

why would you cheer for fnatic cs 😭😭

I mean I can take a deagle and go for a confident tap myself, I just like spraying more with ak

+1, shit like this is not possible with rng

fnatic tactic: viper wall, brim molly, sova drone, site split on 0:25 with 3 mid 2a and then fall back into 2-2 retake comp
tln tactic: click head lmao

flair checks out

NiKo is the goat rifler and he is great at both, you should take a look at his highlights. His deagle ace on cache was wild

Monesy feels like a lite version of s1mple, ngl

I am sorry but there is no way tenz is anywhere close to messi in relation to their sport. S1mple and faker are Messi's of their own game, tenz is not. He lacked the consistency, trophies and individual performance

Oh, glad to see someone with more knowledge talking, just seen some people talking about faceit anti cheat dying in cs2 community because of it

Maybe, it still fucks everything up tho.

Pretty much every anti cheat we have are kernel. Vanguard, faceit, easy, battle net anti cheats, it's the definition of being fucked

They look to ban kernel programs, including vanguard anti cheat, which fucks everyone in the gaming industry up.

Well I am a cs player, so I guess I can start.
I like how val combined 5v5 fps with something hero based. And the best part is that they are yet to release something broken like Briggite in Overwatch and I don't think they will

I mean CS has better BM, and they try to goon it so much. Yet probably the biggest BM fest is dota where yesterday ramzes666 was spamming ")" and wrote "guys, it's all over" right before the opponent wrote gg and then he added "ez". Then when they were shaking hands he had the most "fuck you" wink ever. Also I dislike how they think banter>skill, where CS has a way higher skill ceiling with less abilities

True, and also aiming helps, if you get an equal fighting situation, the pro gets like 700 ms of time to kill before the silver even aims at you

Now that I think about I should have just named the thread Anti Cheats dead

If we talk esports wise than CS is for sure not declining

What happened, has someone called tenz washed when I was sleepink? Why do you even pay attention to these people. They were the once retarded enough to beg valve to speedrun cs2 release and then bitch endlessly about how bad the game is.

That crowd strike disaster has apparently caused Microsoft to explore new security systems, which they discussed in a meeting on Tuesday. https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2024/09/12/taking-steps-that-drive-resiliency-and-security-for-windows-customers/
There is however a problem for gaming in all of that

"improved security posture and security defaults enable the platform to provide more security capabilities to solution providers outside of kernel mode.

Both our customers and ecosystem partners have called on Microsoft to provide additional security capabilities outside of kernel mode which, along with SDP, can be used to create highly available security solutions."
Might be a problem with English, but doesn't that just basically disable all kernel programs like Anti Cheats?

Galorys L
TSM W
TSM and All Knights on 2-3 tie breaker. TSM>AK cuz personal game.
Reason why Galorys losing is crucial is because a three way tie is map and round difference .
Oh, and 2G need to win m80,

Valid, or lower bracket could make sense if your group placement decided if you go into the upper or lower bracket, therefore making groups more important cause getting the higher spot gives you the way into uppers

Thanks for the kind words

We talk purely about popularity

Donk vs Tenz will go crazy

His CV still isn't that great compared to other players. Sure, valorant is younger, but are we sure that aspas can get the status of faker and s1mple with so few events and such rapid changes in the meta?

True, but I still feel like he has a chapter in CS which he has not closed yet

if nitro and autimatic made it somewhat work in cs, I don't see why tenz couldn't work

it would be so great for NA cs if tenz coming back somehow caused reimmigration of content creators to cs and therefore the revival of NA CS, fucking esea S rank games are still peak CS content

I am actually surprised that valve are improving the netcode, I have way less complaints than I had a year ago personally. I hope vacnet is a huge success and after that I don't mind more content. rn tho, I want them to focus more on netcode and such, thankfully they are in contact with the pros

sentinels with tenz, stewie, slump, JBA and stanislaw winning the major in Austin, launching the NA era in CS and giving NA the 2nd boston miracle

thanks bro :)

he still got more attention than some people who were around for longer

shameless bump

sucks man, hopefully all is well for your family

true, that's why i said what if. I still respect tenz tho, setting family first as a sports athelete and putting your own ego aside to be there for your family is a man's choice

pretty sure it is, biggest problem is that with illegal ones doing what illegals do (crimes, rape, jobless), legal ones from same countries get the blame as well. I am a ukrainian refugee myself and I try to learn the German language, get german educaiton, integrate. Meanwhile i see some ukrainians just not giving a shit about the language. Notice how it's one nation yet two drasically different approaches and life views? Yet some people still send everyone into one bunch

stumbled upon this video on his youtube channel where he tried playing cs2 again.
https://youtu.be/V_LipG5hnyg?t=45
What if he spends more time during his retirement playing CS cuz he enjoys it more?

I am only against illegal ones, legal ones are chill

well I feel like it depends in this scenario when tenz get this mentality. if it's somewhere in his CS days, then maybe he becomes 2nd Twistzz and carries NA to glory. Most of these ego players don't have a relationship, they spend all the time playing. s1mple is like 3 years older than tenz and he has no gf

but imagine if he just clicked and thought that he wants to become the best player in the world?

yeah, but that has to do a lot with history imo. I personally don't care, I joke about it sometimes, but I don't have a problem with that

might be a crazy shout, what if he becomes full time content creator, part time cs player. CS has an open circuit, NA scene isn't as developed, sentinels could theoratically sneak into a major slot, which is clout, reaches new audiences for them.

egoistic, going year in year out, working without breaks, sport first, relationship second, hating to lose, chasing the dream all the time. Tenz lacks that, he himself said that he likes content creation more, just that he reached profesional skill level. s1mple has literally spent 2014-2023 going for the number 1 spot, winning events. Bro had the streak of top 1-2-2-1-1 despite his team not always being number 1

I feel like one of the biggest what if's for the entire esport, not only valorant is what if tenz had s1mple mentality. That combo would be broken
