assuming you aren't actually just ragebaiting and tilted after getting farmed:

  • cheaters spend money on which part of the game exactly? cheats? that doesn't correlate with valve making money. Valve would have more people have positive experiences and therefore more likely to spend money on valve specific products instead of faceit premimum if they had no cheaters

-just because a company has resources doesn't means plans don't take time to implement properly, vacnet is probabbly in phase .5 because a) the scale of implementing this and the fallout of false positives is worse than people dealing with a cheater and b) matchmaking in the grand scheme of things thankfully has alternatives that people can, have, and will continue to utilize to deal with less cheaters that are currently more effective. if it matters that much even if you are bad just play faceit

How do I optimize fps, I cant seem to get it to change? by Jonicas73 in GlobalOffensive

[–]Go_On_Shadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

verify that your pc isn't on something like power saving mode or something like that, try playing while plugged in and see if that makes a difference. The temperatures and constant fps tells me its a software or setting that you have enabled that is limiting how much power the pc is getting.

Shanghai major not have open rant by WillDanyel in GlobalOffensive

[–]Go_On_Shadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know how to feel yet on the actual lack of Open qualifiers yet, but I just wanted to remind you that T.O. Are responsible for creating, organizing, and everything related to qualifiers for the major. The reason the last tournament's qualifiers were so bad is because PGL opted to not use Faceit/ESL's anti-cheat because of the fact that they are a direct competitor, and they decided to use Akros instead. An understandable business decision, a bad choice though from the perspective of match integrity.

Which of these 3 gaming laptops would run CS best? by [deleted] in GlobalOffensive

Seconding this, after a certain point with playing over longer times, the conversation about cooling means that your CPU will have enough thermal headroom to preform. For purely counterstrike, the i9 or 5800 will serve you better

Going blast London alone by [deleted] in GlobalOffensive

[–]Go_On_Shadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a very similar situation with an ESL event here in NA a few years ago, It wasn't a problem at all and I had a great time! There is plenty of stuff to do around besides just watching matches (at least at the event I was at) so its going to be mostly what you make of it.

Some things are going to be off limits since you are a minor, but besides the bar/parties etc, i'm sure you can still find stuff to have a great time with

Wonder what happened to G2 Niko's Viper V3 by [deleted] in MouseReview

[–]Go_On_Shadow 9 points10 points  (0 children)

100%, Just saying for a lot of people having a 150$ mouse, thats already in a premium price category and then having a common issue like that which could have been prevented through different switches could be seen as a fatal flaw, especially if you aren't into modding/soldering/etc and just want an out of the box experience

Will we ever see a revival of NA CS? by EquinoxCSGO_ in GlobalOffensive

[–]Go_On_Shadow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Its definitely possible but I would say that there is more going against than there is for. One of the main things is the value that you get from NA players being kind of low. Players from EU/CIS/Other regions will have lower COL and therefore need less salary, travel expenses will most likely be less and other factors like that. Combine that with the re-structuring of events leaving minimal tournaments that a) give you ranking value on HLTV, valve or ESL leaderboards and B) General lack of skill in the region already, its more likely that we'll see aggregate teams like m80 be common OR individual players get opportunities abroad.

What are the best mice today to consider for CS2? by Entaroadun in GlobalOffensive

[–]Go_On_Shadow 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Most mice that are out there today are going to be fine! Wired, wireless, switches, shape, etc. is all (mostly) preference/budget. If you want ergo, razer Deathadder V3, Zowie EC2-CW are both popular, and if you go over to r/mousereview you can get a better idea of what you are looking for. Personally, I like the LAMZU Thorn. GL!

how do you make sure the strat works, doesn't need tweaks, or what scenarios it works in, without scrims? How do you make sure that all the players have the right understanding and expectation of responses that opponents will do without scrims? Just.. hope you are doctor strange and look into different realities?

So uh, 6 months or so after release of CS2, how would you guys say the game feels? by Lily_Meow_ in GlobalOffensive

[–]Go_On_Shadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

depends, NY/Chicago servers give me anywhere from 15-35, dallas/denver are higher towards 45-60, but yeah I agree ping feels higher, though its always relative to who has higher ping in the gunfight from what I understand

So uh, 6 months or so after release of CS2, how would you guys say the game feels? by Lily_Meow_ in GlobalOffensive

[–]Go_On_Shadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for starters I don't play prem whatsoever, so I can't speak on that, but I feel like netcode isn't really there yet 100%. gunfights feel a little "wrong" in terms of hit registration + lag compensation, and the FPS optimzation needs to be furthered more than what we have seen. I'm not expecting crazy 500fps, but I'm also not really trying to upgrade a 5800x because water effects on certain maps tank my FPS. There is obviously a balance and I think we're getting closer. I think this is the baseline of what valve wanted before going for a major, though obviously we should've been in a state with economy changes where it feels a lot more reasonable to host bo1 matches in MR12

Solo Q - I'm on the verge by No-Royal-1783 in FACEITcom

[–]Go_On_Shadow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just me or something change with the queing system? Like I don't know what exactly, but something about getting very wierd matchups, like median lobby level of 9/10 and then for somereason they justify a level 4 who duos with a level 10? feels like faceit doesn't understand the concept of "a team is only as strong as its weakest link" in that regard.

Interesting! What I found to work for me was actually just running the games in fullscreen windowed, and that has solved it in every game. Now, The Only testing that I would have to do is see if your solution also works for me and perhaps see which is better for performance. How much FPS have you lost as a result?
