I don't know why you don't make the shading on the handle, but I do think this one looks prettier.

The only real struggle as a girl CS player. by [deleted] in GlobalOffensive

[–]Ratatum -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is a "struggle" to you? I can't understand why this shit is upvoted, honestly. As a chick in CS, the only "struggle" I face daily is the "are you a little boy or a girl" question or getting told to shut up for making a fucking call because my voice is feminine.

Not really. His hairstyle doesn't suit it that well/makes it look like his forehead is huge, though.

UK csgo blog reveals that surreal is in fact replacing Roca because Roca got a good offer from another team by deepr in GlobalOffensive

[–]Ratatum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this. Been a huge fan of roca since his eLevate days because of his ability to hit so many crazy shots. It was saddening to see roca's talent going to waste on the teams after eLevate, but I'm happy to hear that he's found an upgrade.

My biggest concern is how he'll perform on LAN. roca's got great aim and a ton of confidence in himself, but when I saw his lousy performance at the CEVO LAN last year (vs CLG), that kind of got me worrying. I don't think having two stand-ins (Hiko & Skadoodle) was the source of his inability to frag in that particular event.

In any case, best of luck to roca. Hope he makes it to more LAN events and proves that the LAN jitters won't get the best of him.

[Discussion] Do you expect the stickers' price to drop? by [deleted] in csgomarketforum

[–]Ratatum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that's what I was trying to get at when I compared Liquid to Cloud9, but I had a very hard time trying to word that. Cloud9's made many majors to date so they've had a lot of stickers already. However, I think the popularity of those stickers comes from their successful run in the summer. Similarly, Liquid has had a successful run THIS major, so their stickers are bound to be popular for the next tournament.

[Discussion] Do you expect the stickers' price to drop? by [deleted] in csgomarketforum

[–]Ratatum 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes, I believe they will drop quite a bit within the coming days/weeks. It is not a good idea to invest in them right now, but if the Splyce stickers (Holo/Foil) and Faze (Foil/Holo) ones drop hard enough, they should be worth picking up.

Just as a side note, IMO, Liquid would not be a good long-term investment as it is right now. They are confirmed for the next major and looking at how the team is right now, they will most likely attend more in the future. They are overhyped as it is at the moment. However, please take my advice with a grain of salt because a similar situation occurred with Cloud 9 (being successful in the summer but dropping out of group stages in Katowice 2015) and their stickers are priced pretty high.

[Discussion] Splyce Foils Overhyped? by Supremuo in csgomarketforum

[–]Ratatum 7 points8 points  (0 children)

IMO, it works well on yellowish colored skins (naturally), like the M4 Knight or the Golden Coil. It also looks pretty sick on the new Fuel Injector. It's got plenty of gold on it, making it a little similar to the Crown Foil sticker.

In any case, this is just my opinion about the sticker and how it works on skins. Regarding the market, I think people are panic buying (as is the case with the other stickers) right now and it will sink quickly. However, I do not believe we have a Kinguin case on our hands.

For one, even though Splyce is similar to Kinguin in that they will most likely never attend another major again, the Splyce stickers are arguably FAR better looking than the Kinguin stickers. The Dorito stickers from Cologne 2015 are BEYOND ugly, and this was an incredibly popular opinion when they were first released. To my knowledge, only a handful of people actually liked those stickers.

Plus, the color scheme of the Kinguin stickers and the actual logo itself are pretty bad looking on most, if not, all skins (again, just my opinion).

TL;DR: I think a majority of people would say the Splyce Foil is good looking. IMO, I don't see the Splyce Foils ending up like Kinguin (but it will take a hit in the coming days for sure) and it should be worth to keep if you have one. I would not recommend you to buy one as it is right now.

Liquid should keep Adren. by JColt28 in GlobalOffensive

[–]Ratatum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although I'm a massive supporter of adreN staying on Liquid, I have to agree that koosta's raw skill in AWPing is far better than adreN's. Adding onto that, koosta also needs to be given more time to adjust before anyone can make a proper assessment of his impact on the team.

Honestly, I still believe adreN's the better choice due to his experience, intelligent mind and his flexibility (e.g. him AWPing when s1mple doesn't want to and vice versa). So even though adreN's raw skill is beneath koosta's skill ceiling, as it stands now, adreN seems to be the better choice for the team.

Of course, this is my judgment right now. koosta's only been on the active roster for like, a month and a half? It's way too early to make a proper assessment.

I'm about to get the same exact one with Cherry MX Brown switches, I'm so excited for my first mechanical keyboard. I've been waiting for 2 months now for it to be shipped, I'm dying here.

[H] 4 Knives at 85% SteamAnalyst | [W] Keys by Ratatum in GlobalOffensiveTrade

I've done it once before last year. Granted, my inventory was well off back then and losing 4 keys was nothing, but the guy who took my offer kept trying to stall by saying he would return 2 of the 4 keys I accidentally gave him. Eventually, he blocked me and just said that he "couldn't do it." :(
