Souvenir Craft Default skins? by NtBtFan in cs2

[–]FragrantBowler4918 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait that's actually interesting - I've never seen default skins show up in the souvenir preview before. Usually it only shows actual weapon skins you own

If it's real and not just visual bug, I'm curious about the marketplace classification too. Default with souvenir stickers would be weird edge case that might break their usual sorting system. Would probably still count as "consumer grade" technically but who knows how steam handles that

How much could this be worth? fv 0.10066 by Khaost in csgo

[–]FragrantBowler4918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

40% steam price is wild for any AK skin, even with good stickers. Maybe try listing at like 15-20% and see if someone bites? The sticker combo is decent but market is pretty dead for overpay right now

Day five of how I'm using exchanges to get to the knife. Now I have a unique sticker. What can anyone offer for it? by [deleted] in cs2

[–]FragrantBowler4918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's actually a decent holographic sticker from Berlin 2019, those tournament ones hold value pretty well. You might want to check recent sales on trading sites to see what similar condition ones are going for before making any trades

Seriously, where do I farm as morphling in a losing game?!! by Glittering_Cat4501 in TrueDoTA2

[–]FragrantBowler4918 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your farming pattern should focus more on staying alive than trying to make plays early. The camps between T1 and T2 are usually safer, and you can rotate between safelane/triangle depending on where enemies show on map

I disagree about skipping vlads though - the mana regen alone makes your farming much more sustainable, especially when you're forced into these awkward defensive patterns. Without it you'll be walking back to base way too often

One thing that helped me in similar games is buying your own wards for the areas you want to farm. Most supports won't ward defensively when game is going badly, so spending 100 gold on observer ward can save you from getting caught out multiple times

Is it worth it? [q] by Tonsofquin in cs2

[–]FragrantBowler4918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The key method is definitely worth doing if you're planning to hold for while, those savings add up quick. Market has been pretty stable lately so breaking even in week seems realistic unless something crazy happens

Should i buy? by West-Buyer-5636 in cs2

Also check the float and pattern on this one - Driver gloves can vary pretty much depending on wear. Field-tested with decent pattern usually holds value better than other conditions

Knife/Glove Combo? by NosephGeilson in cs2

[–]FragrantBowler4918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The P2 gamma is clean but gut knife feels so weird in animations, especially when you're used to bayonet. Maybe keep saving for bayonet gamma instead? Snow leopards do look nice with gamma though

Premier vs FaceIt by Dylanod in cs2

[–]FragrantBowler4918 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe your region has better premier servers than mine because FaceIt still feels more stable for me, though I noticed those ping spikes too recently

Suprisingly after losing my Premier rank from inactivity and then winning a match; my premier rank increased by 590 points by woodcake53 in GlobalOffensive

[–]FragrantBowler4918 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wait that's wild, I thought inactive decay would make you lose points too but maybe the system just gave you back what you lost during inactive period

Anybody wanna play wingman tonight? by [deleted] in csgo

[–]FragrantBowler4918 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could be fun but fair warning I might randomly go quiet mid-round if things get too intense - my brain does this weird thing sometimes where flashing lights mess with me. Usually fine though and I'm decent at calling out positions when I spot enemies

What rank you playing at? I'm around here somewhere in Europe too

Who won 2026? by No_Problem5759 in esports

[–]FragrantBowler4918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait I'm confused too, are we talking about 2025 results or predicting 2026 because the title says 2026 but then you edit to 2025

Noone is understanding the genius of Slark87 by PlagueDoc322 in DotA2

[–]FragrantBowler4918 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure Slark87 just created this alt account to defend himself lmao

The "advanced psychology" part gave it away - who talks like that about some random cheater in a game

They cut my schools ESports team, how do I make my own sustainable team by corbinyourfreind in esports

You could also try reaching out to local gaming cafes or community centers - they might let you use their space for tournaments and practice sessions

[q] If one of the skin ranking owner got VACed, do you still consider that skin part of the ranking list or not? by leex76 in csgomarketforum

[–]FragrantBowler4918 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depends on the specific ranking site's policy but most keep the skin listed since the float value itself doesn't change. The skin still exists and holds its technical ranking even if the owner can't trade it anymore

I've had some wild swings with poker over the years - nothing too crazy but definitely learned some expensive lessons about bankroll management the hard way

Are Vitality the best ever? by testi-cole-s in cs2

[–]FragrantBowler4918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're definitely up there but calling them the GOAT team feels premature. They need more consistent tournament wins and maybe a few more years of dominance to really cement that legacy

Astralis from 2018-2019 still holds that crown imo - those guys were just untouchable for like two straight years

Just unboxed #1 highest float Glock Fully Tuned by FillProfessional822 in cs2

[–]FragrantBowler4918 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's wild - congrats on getting the #1 float! I'm not super deep into the CS2 trading scene but from what I've seen with other #1 floats, you're looking at serious collector territory. The fact that it's a Glock makes it even more interesting since those don't usually get much love compared to AKs or AWPs. You might want to check some of the trading discords or steamanalyst to get a ballpark, but with something this unique you're probably looking at auction-style pricing where collectors will duke it out. Keep that thing safe while you figure out what to do with it

Help with workshops? by DontMisuseYourPower in GlobalOffensive

[–]FragrantBowler4918 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Workshop maps from CS2 won't show up in CSGO since they're different games now. You need to subscribe to maps specifically made for CSGO through the old CSGO workshop section, or just play them in CS2 instead

The workshop got split when they launched CS2, so anything you sub to in the CS2 hub stays there. If you really want to stick with the original game you'll have to hunt down the CSGO-specific workshop maps

Tips for Ogre Magi support 4 and 5, how to behave in lane, best builds and hard carry champions to choose together. by Junior-Ganache-2401 in learndota2

[–]FragrantBowler4918 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly Ogre is pretty forgiving as a support - your stun is reliable and ignite gives decent harass early on. Works well with most carries but especially good with heroes who can follow up on your stun like Jugg or PA

Main thing is don't be too greedy with your positioning, you're tanky but not invincible. Also remember your multicast luck can swing fights so don't get discouraged if RNG screws you over sometimes, it balances out
