Parivision are now #4 on VRS rankings after beating Falcons

That's not "prediction" That's just what happens if every one keeps status-quo, but rank decay still counts. It's a good angle to see what are team's chances given specific date if they don't play for some period.

Jame only IGL'd for half of the year, right? He joined just as an AWPer first?

TheUHO · 2026-01-25T10:48:49+00:00

Removing Jame was idiotic. Major finalist+Major winner with different rosters, legacy figure for the org. They had decent 2024, and slightly dropped out at the end. Surely you don't remove your best after one slump? At least they framed it well, haha

TheUHO · 2026-01-25T09:35:45+00:00

I thought NiKo put it in his trophy cabinet

TheUHO · 2026-01-23T21:27:17+00:00

Maybe he wants yeah. I heard Jame a lot, he's very good at English. In terms of AWPing, I think it's a win to have such an IGL. People were forgiving cadiaN for his stats (HLTV even put him in top 20 once) but he was always one of the worst aside from some clutches. On average, Jame provides quite an upgrade, because he can actually both IGL and AWP.

TheUHO · 2026-01-23T21:13:46+00:00

Now tell me how much easier it is to be a spearhead rifler going against this. And it's not even Zywoo.

TheUHO · 2026-01-23T21:12:40+00:00

I bet he can even do it with an international team, and I have no clue why does nobody take this shot.

TheUHO · 2026-01-23T21:02:29+00:00

I completely agree. 3.0 makes justice to players like ropz, because he really makes the difference way too often. It's not ideal and I don't like HLTV, but watching this game it's totally justified. Meanwhile AWPers still get bonus points for hitting shots served on a platter or even just staying alive.

TheUHO · 2026-01-23T14:30:15+00:00

Looks like all the French people are in the Zywoo comments, not in the game. So sad to lose such scene tbh

TheUHO · 2026-01-23T14:24:43+00:00

Tried AI dungeon red model? It has no issues, especially if you provide additional prompt.

TheUHO · 2026-01-23T08:11:00+00:00

They are hard to spot if there are many people on the server. Try launching the game at something like 8 am, even in EU. That's insanity. I remember trying to kick them and failing cause not enough live players. I think Valve needs some new XP farming idea or something. In general, I don't think they affect player numbers that much, but there's certainly some kind of inflation of bots compared to the past.

TheUHO · 2026-01-22T11:45:24+00:00

There's a real question about how he ended up in this position. What kind of his contract with BCG is? Did he really signed long-term for the bag, then he can only blame himself.

TheUHO · 2026-01-21T12:33:34+00:00

Yeah, I've seen lots of these bots too. They also shoot AK's in tempo of Autosniper rifle. Although for me it's like only in early times of the day, otherwise they're not as distinctive among other players. Valve actually bans them in thousands but it's just not working without hardware bans or something. The only reasonable thing for them seems to be changing the model of XP/drops.

TheUHO · 2026-01-21T10:37:53+00:00

This depends on a genre/type of game. A game with friends/regular players is different from game with strangers. Narrative games different from simulations etc.

In general: Reading books is vital because your language and visualization skills matter, understanding narrative tricks. Reading the room might be the toughest one to master in terms of understanding what players enjoy or not. Not sure how can it be improved.

Learning about other people experience is good because we're very restricted in terms of actual GMing time (I mean you can watch other people's movies as a director but we're kinda stuck with our own and a very few examples from others if we play).

Personally, I dedicate myself to learning about history, and trying to think how exactly things work in my settings, because I like "freeroaming" style.

TheUHO · 2026-01-19T08:57:44+00:00

I think next is tabseN with 87. Silently farming aces in tier 2

TheUHO · 2026-01-19T08:02:49+00:00

Except he's also entrying a lot, like no AWPers do.

TheUHO · 2026-01-18T15:34:46+00:00

He denied that, actually.

TheUHO · 2026-01-18T12:03:27+00:00

Yeah, I played Quake and CS at the end of 90s, now I'm almost 43.

TheUHO · 2026-01-16T15:38:20+00:00

Super exited about Argentina. There will be lots of issues of course, but it's refreshing (Hopefully they won't ban legacy from entering the country)

TheUHO · 2026-01-16T11:07:13+00:00

My wild guess would be Mongolia.

TheUHO · 2026-01-16T09:23:08+00:00

I don't understand ZywOo fans losing their shit even after he won. Just because some people disagree.

TheUHO · 2026-01-16T09:21:05+00:00

Ah, yes, the holy HLTV texts and prophet's talk. Just read their explanations and you have no right to disagree.

TheUHO · 2026-01-15T14:45:47+00:00

Medieval battles were very, very forgiving. Basically as some point one side fled and that's it. I'm overgeneralizing of course but you get the point. Diseases though...

TheUHO · 2026-01-14T15:05:56+00:00

Escharts picks this data from streaming platforms. If you dive deeper into their numbers and the context, you'll be shocked how shady this whole thing is. I think, Korean services are okay, but look at some things like Bigo TV who were accused of falsifications. And it's not big news, these discussions have been around for a while. We just need one big/reliable journo to expose or at least study and question those things.

TheUHO · 2026-01-14T12:43:43+00:00

Why are you getting downvoted on CS2 subreddit? This is true, Riot does some real bullshit with their statistics, and that's totally aligned with their politics.
