I used to play the shit outta CSGO. I got a bit burned out but wouldn't mind playing with some Surlsters(?).

Last time I had a MM rank I was SMFC pushing for global but there were too many cheaters so I moved permanently to ESEA and FACEIT. Played several seasons of ESEA Open and Main division.

It'd be fun if we could find 5 to play. I've always enjoyed playing with a full team rather than random idiots.

Bump.

I've been playing more lately. Me and my buddies are in the gold nova tier but been winning more than losing - wondering if anyone here plays or plays around that level. Could for sure get a 5 stack going so even if we are different ranks we could dick around. As long as no one is a toxic fuck that cares too much about winning lol.

A long time ago, my son is slowly taking an interest but I don’t think it will stick.

Back in the early 2000s I ran with MoL and would compete with CK3s backup squads at LAN party tourneys

Anyone watching the major? It's live in the Moody Center!

True to form, NACS missed the playoff bracket lol. Let's see if Spirit can repeat, or if Vitality can cement their greatness, or if FaZe can resurrect the dead and make it all look S1mple

Yeah CS is literally the only esport worth watching, what a start to the major.

It's the only one I've ever followed like I would any other sport. 

Watching us win the 2018 major in Boston was honestly one of my favorite sports moments ever.

Went to a major a while back, took my dad who hates video games, he was prepared to be bored spending time on his phone, but he ended up absolutely loving it. Aside from rocket league, it's the  easiest to pick up and get excited by the plays.

Best game ever, too bad they got flooded by hackers after going free to play. It was such a good game and community right before that.

Dayum. Talk like this brings back so many memories. Not that we ever got into real competitions, but the typical playing whatever group/clan you could find. Of course that was 20+ years ago, and the original. Honestly I think they still keep a server up. AFAIK, they still go by WhyGame.

Me and a buddy that owns a computer repair shop put together a neat idea back then, but it never came to fruition.

We were going to put together up to 4 tractor/trailer refer rigs with nothing but server racks. Then we planned to “tour” with it from city to city, with breaks, and host super huge land parties for a weekend. Like rent convention space type of places. Let some food trucks hang out outside, maybe some entertainment Saturday night from local-ish bands. Friday night just a free-for-all for fun, Sat/Sun a bracketed match with the winner of the loser bracket being the 6th spot in a 3v3 on a randomly selected map. Guests not still in the bracket would still have free-for-all access. 

Would have set out tables, full power for every seat, plus overhead, bring your own rig or rent one of ours. Rentals would have been purchased as an add-on, if we ran out of early sales, we might have built a few to have for walk-ups.

So Fri-Sat, non-stop. Maybe would have had a small intermission overnight, but was going to play that by ear. Probably didn’t want people crashing out in random places, not a great look. But we were still deciding on that part.

But that was the general plan. Tons more details, however they’re nothing but part of the big story now.

First real year was looking at once a month, if demand grew then sprinkle in a few more if possible.

We were also planning 4 or 5 trial runs. Maybe 200 spots, if that. Mainly to flesh out timing, procedures, equipment setups, that sort of stuff.

We got commitments for about 70% of what we needed to start, but then the bottom fell out of the market and it just couldn’t get brought to fruition.

Woulda been fun, and maybe could have expanded into multiple games and comps in a weekend. Who knows, but it’s fun to reminisce about now and then.

I was hoping to get tickets to this major but missed my shot, and second hand prices were absurd. I did go to Dreamhack Masters Vegas in 2017 and ended up drinking with the owners of NiP and got to meet Get_Right and N0thing after their game in the pre-playoff stage.

This major has been great so far, I've seen like three or four maps go to 4OT, and one all the way to 6OT. Exciting and GOOD play is hard to beat, especially with crowd roar now in the playoffs.

I also noticed the Blast.tv stream has 4k and 1440p options that are rock solid and crystal clear

Grand Final is live at 2:30! Vitality vs Mongolz

I hope the underdogs have the juice today, but Vitality just has SO MUCH skill and experience. Their in-game leader has played in 20 majors, and first won back in 2015!! Vitality has just been a whirling death machine, 7-0 through group stages and the playoff bracket so far is unreal

Holy shit, the underdogs take the first map! The energy in the stadium is awesome - Vitality, the French team has decided to play the heel and the Texan audience is more than happy to boo the shit out of them lol. The place is primed to blow it's top for the Mongolz to win.

It would ruin Vitality's perfect season of winning every. goddamn. tournament. this year, and it would be an incredible Cinderella story
