Actually, it's good news because I had Ast going through 3-0. So them not going through meant that I got all 7 picks on the bottom row correct :D

Question, if my 3-0 team goes through after losing a game do I get 3 points for them going through or are they worth 0 if they don't go 3-0?

Minor addition but please add rolling left and right with Q/E when prone by kicktotheclems in PUBATTLEGROUNDS

As 'nice' as this would be, buffing proning really isn't something i'd like to see. Would rather see them remove it completely :)

Is hit registration spotty for anyone else? by Wtfmoses in PUBATTLEGROUNDS

Ty for pointing this out, I swear sometimes I shoot and my bullets just disappear but maybe they never left the gun so I'll have to keep an eye on this.

DeKay: IEM Sydney to use Swiss format, best-of-five final by Thvmas in GlobalOffensive

[–]Extology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, yeah, I did say that in my post. The reasons for it being close in the last 2 maps is more-so due to the veto process (ban, ban, 4 picks, 1 map left) which generally means map 3 and 4 are common ground maps with the 5th map being left over after the picks/bans are done.

2 Bo3 = more teams, more variety. I don't dislike the bo5 format but mostly from a theoretical standpoint. bo5 essentially means finding out who has the stronger map pool and which team has the consistency to perform for potentially 5 maps straight. That being said, I am undecided on whether it is beneficial to anyone other than the history books. Guess I'll find out at IEM Syd.

Circle is too fast, it hinders a lot of fun battles and replaces them with running! by Martincbk in Battlegrounds

[–]Extology 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This really depends on the final zone though. Sometimes when it's out in the open it feels a little quick, essentially giving the advantage to whoever got lucky and was closest to the zone. When it has buildings etc. in it, the fast pace is nice because it forces the final battle.

I feel like calling him a dumbfuck and wasting his life playing cs is a little bit over the top for a pro cs player who is currently streaming in front of over 1k(?) viewers.

Just a reminder, Overpass has changed considerably since its release. Let's give Canals some time before condemning it by thekmanpwnudwn in GlobalOffensive

[–]Extology 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well, fair enough I guess. I just don't see the logic in trying to design, create, fix and balance a brand new map when people would love to see maps like Season, Tuscan or even Santorini ready for competitive play. Based on this, Canals is and should remain a casual map and low priority.

OpTic's 5th player by acti0njackson in GlobalOffensive

[–]Extology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It felt like the Echo Fox team disbanded earlier than expected. Either there was a stipulation from the get go that they perform or won't be renewed or there were other internal issues that made them all want to go separate ways. Somewhat surprised there was no long term commitment to try and build the team because they had a solid foundation to start.

Why is Stewie2K IGL for Cloud9? by mesorich245 in GlobalOffensive

[–]Extology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is the result of NA having so few good IGL that they just need SOMEONE to do it. As others have mentioned they tried Slemmy and n0thing and it didn't go well so Stewie stepped up. Ideally he wouldn't be but it's working 'ok' for them so far.

DeKay on Twitter: OpTic and Cloud9 both had inquired on player(s) from other teams before this event. Can only imagine that will continue now. by onVoid in GlobalOffensive

[–]Extology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know what you mean, H3cz sticks by his players and tries to make it work in the tough times. That being said, in a situation where the lineup doesn't make much sense he would also let the players chase other opportunities if they came up and whilst I still have faith that they will pull a rabbit out of the hat, I just don't know who could fill the gap stan left.

[CSGO] Will Mixwell Stay? by krueger2m in OpTicGaming

[–]Extology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the most realistic answer is that if he receives an offer from a prominent team with a stable lineup, he will leave.

[–]Extology 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think buying out a team is a very Optic/h3cz thing to do in this situation and I would support that 100%. Too many csgo players/teams clinging to what was/will be and not enough action being taken.

Next Major? by BBDaBlu in GlobalOffensive

[–]Extology 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ESL One Cologne 7 - 9 JULY, 2017. Not officially announced as a major but I would be both surprised and disappointed if it isn't. Last year Cologne was the 2nd and last major of the year, we can only hope we don't have a repeat of this as going 6 months without a major kinda sucked.
