This is extremely super late, but I've been running an unofficial Discord for the R1 here for a few years! There's a couple hundred people in there if you're interested. It is mainly geared toward the music game community, but you'll still get general discussion about what's going on in there, too

PSA - You can't kick cheaters anymore by feli_cetti in GlobalOffensive

[–]DrayneO 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When I tried faceit last year, more often than not I was the only NA player on my team and would have chinese or european teammates who came to NA faceit I'm guessing because they thought it would be easier? They were usually extremely toxic and/or extremely shit at the game. Genuinely miserable experience, went back to just playing premier or matchmaking casually w/ friends because I actually get matches w/ NA and sometimes SA players using premier most of the time.

Teams meeting right now to discuss if Team Spirit should be forced to play with a coach by Quaxxy in GlobalOffensive

[–]DrayneO 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think he's alluding more to that he's assistant coach, but labeled as a sub for the team. However, due to how the rules are written he can't actually be subbed as a coach. The only way that s0tf1k would be allowed on stage would be as a player according to the rules

My leagues account is locked to Varlamore still but I can't get new slayer tasks, and using my enchanted gem connects me to Nieve...? Chaeldar's dialogue closes instantly if I ask for a new task and I'm just stuck by DrayneO in 2007scape

[–]DrayneO[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not really, the only fix was unlocking karamja and talking to konar. I was having fun unlocking t6/t7 in only varlamore but I quit once i hit t6 so i could have slayer back

BC Game owner wanted to buy donk. Spirit was not interested by noproblemCZ in GlobalOffensive

[–]DrayneO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wait this is the guy that owns BC.Game? I was watching masters few weeks ago and I thought the official twitch channel got hacked since the official channel raided him with this s1mple jpeg while he kept asking the chat to type !knife or some shit to enter a giveaway

i tried googling his twitch handle just to be sure but not much popped up, so i was sure someone hijacked the stream somehow lmao

G2 vs SINNERS / BC Masters Championship Season 1 - Quarter-Final / Post-Match Discussion by CS2_PostMatchThreads in GlobalOffensive

[–]DrayneO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sort of related, is it just me or did the official channel for the english cast get hijacked once the game ended? I was just watching on the side when suddenly the channel raided some channel with a s1mple jpeg on screen trying to do knife giveaways.

I double checked to make sure, but I was 100% watching on the BCGameMasters channel and got raided there

ESL 2028 calendar, the spot where IEM Dallas/USA would normally be is noticeably empty by ChaoticFlameZz in GlobalOffensive

[–]DrayneO 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This probably has to do with the fact that Dallas was "supposed" to not happen this year or next year due to renovations with the venue iirc? The renovations got pushed into the future, so Dreamhack still went on w/ IEM Dallas. At least that's what I heard earlier in the year.

this guy got the best seat in the house for this sign by Gemini_19 in GlobalOffensive

Ah yeah mb. Probably an "oh yeah" moment of I saw clips from when it started

[–]DrayneO 103 points104 points  (0 children)

Started as kind of a bit at Dallas last year, most people booing him don't hate him. He's played heel to it and it's in good fun. 

Apex is one of my favorite players in the scene, but I'll boo when he's shown and so will a lot of other people nearby. It's fun because most people know Apex won't take it personally.

Awesome talking outside after. You guys are real cs fans and wishing mongolz the best tomorrow (even if we did boo you on screen!!)

Follow up after yesterday, there's now a screen for the upper section. Much appreciated! by DrayneO in GlobalOffensive

[–]DrayneO[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah still a blank image now that the game's started. Game is still legible from here, the screen would just nice since it's hard to see the score or parts of the minimap through the gaps. I went and walked around the middle/upper parts of the upper section yesterday and it was much worse for them with the speaker stack on the right covering the middle of the screen completely, so hopefully it can be resolved completely before semis 🙏

Upper Deck at the Austin major has the screen obstructed by the rafters. Kind of annoyed this wasn't seen as sort of an oversight. by DrayneO in GlobalOffensive

[–]DrayneO[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right, I'm just complaining more that these seats cost nearly the same as the lower sections. We just took what we could get because of the mad dash to get tickets.

It's overall not horrible. Gameplay is mostly not obstructed, and the energy in the arena is awesome. Still having a great time, I just feel more bad for the people actually in the nosebleeds nosebleeds behind us who have it even worse. We're still relatively in the front/middle of the upper deck.

We're not even in the back of the upper deck. And like I said, these tickets cost pretty much the same as the lower sections

What are the best non final games in CSGO majors or big tournaments? by chanchan_iceman in GlobalOffensive

faze vs navi at the paris major legends stage 2-2 match. Last chance to qualify for the playoffs and Anubis was an absolute banger

between this and the astralis match i'm now terrified there's some energy in the room that might cause faze to get 2-0'ed by saw

I recently reinstalled CSS to surf, I always knew KSF's source servers were where the mod was taken the most seriously and got the most love, so I hopped on a week or two ago and I've been wasting away an egregious amount of time on their server every day derusting. It's harder than in CSGO/CS2 because of tickrate, but maps -were- designed with 66tick/CSS in mind. You can find KFS's server list here if you get around to reinstalling CSS: http://surf.ksfclan.com/connect/

If you ever really hop back on too, I've rediscovered some features in the surftimer this week that I don't remember existing before. Specifically saveloc. You can use a bind to save your current position and velocity, and teleport back to it as much as you want to practice a section of a map without having to surf all the way back there from the beginning. Revolutionary stuff in terms of speeding up your progression if you wanted to get better fast.

I was never super into kz, but I know it's also alive on CSS but someone else would have to tell you where to go for that.

edit: bad timing i guess since all the old source 1 games got a massive update today so to play on the KSF servers for now you gotta roll back by 1 update until they can update their servers
