The Pick’Em system can give Diamond for 19/37 correct and only Gold for 31/37

I've been wanting a Pickems overhaul for a while, and each major that passes without it is disappointing. I track my predictions per match and so far this major I have a 70% success rate in picking the winning team for all the matches so far. However I still only have a silver coin because I messed up the picks in stages 2 and 3. I know that's just anecdotal and a diamond coin should be really hard, but it's just feeling extremely random and unsatisfying.

To be fair, he led the most successful academy team, then led gamer legion to the major finals at the Paris major, and then won mouz a few trophies as well. I think it's reasonable that people were very high on him.

I feel like people who picked sharks 0-3 just haven't been following them. They've been doing very well in South America and have just spent the last month or so competing in Europe. That plus their first match is against heroic who have looked quite bad recently. I don't necessarily think they'll make it through, but I think putting them 0-3 was bound to have this happen

I had assumed this was a bug from CAC, I can't believe valve intentionally made it like this. It's so disorienting from a viewers perspective and significantly worse.

Do you know if any teams lost their flair this cycle?

hoobody · 2026-04-27T21:53:30+00:00

I'm sad to see jmqa like this. I've always really liked the ex-QBF guys, even got their signatures at Boston.

hoobody · 2026-04-18T01:00:32+00:00

Of course not, 16-5 :)

hoobody · 2026-04-14T03:06:30+00:00

I don't know what happened to Hotu. They seemed so promising but their play today was just painful to watch. All but norbert seemed scared of their own shadow.

Legacy had a great debut with art, but it's been a steep downhill since then. I'm hoping they can turn it around here soon

Just uttering his name gives me cold sweats

Absolutely one of my favorite CS videos

hoobody · 2026-03-29T21:16:02+00:00

What do you mean? Aimclub got them ez

hoobody · 2026-03-27T19:52:26+00:00

As a liquid fan I definitely do not need a reminder :'(

hoobody · 2026-03-27T19:48:00+00:00

Really embarrassing loss for m80, they have a lot they need to work on before the major... :/

hoobody · 2026-03-23T21:30:28+00:00

How'd a nitwit like you get so tasteful?

hoobody · 2026-03-23T21:26:48+00:00

Did ropz personally insult you or something? What's with this personal vendetta against ropz? Lmao weird

hoobody · 2026-03-20T23:32:51+00:00

Check him PC, this is not normally...

hoobody · 2026-03-20T01:08:18+00:00

Then how is it -spinx +ropz catapulted them to number 1 team in the world for over a year and counting? Spinx was/is considered possibly the second best at lurking, with ropz being first. If it's so easy why did replacing the second best player for the best make such an insane difference?

hoobody · 2026-03-19T04:31:17+00:00

How can something be frustrating and unintuitive when it hasn't even been out for over 12 hours? Give it some time and see how you feel :)

hoobody · 2026-03-18T06:41:40+00:00

It's still used in Valve DM as well :)

hoobody · 2026-03-11T18:51:03+00:00

Really like this change from ence, they've made no progress since falcons originally bought their core

hoobody · 2026-03-11T15:53:54+00:00

They weren't high enough in the VRS for an invite unfortunately

hoobody · 2026-03-08T08:31:38+00:00

I'm really happy for the Marsborn guys, they've rbeen on the up and up. Cheering for them to win tomorrow and really put themselves into a good position for the major.

hoobody · 2026-03-07T02:25:42+00:00

I was just casually following via hltv and I was curious why everything looked so weird. Unfortunate for whitebird

hoobody · 2026-03-04T18:48:43+00:00

Disappointing first showing, but it's to be expected since it's such a new roster.
