    Yeah, just realised it's 10, mine just says 9 because I already have a win. The way it phrases it makes it look like 9 total.

    Well, competitive aside which I play way too little of due to playing Tibia, I must say the skin game is quite addictive - I feel the need to own the perfect skin for my favourite weapons even though I'm a MG2 scrub :eek:

    Ha, I'm pretty indifferent to skins. Seems like a massive scam to me. I'll use one if it looks cool and is free, but to be honest I haven't even been bothered to put the skins I do have into my loadout.

    No way am I spending real money on keys.

    Taure: Sell the cases you get on the market. When new cases come out they're usually a dollar per case. You can make some decent money off selling cases, or you can just buy skins with the money

    I've been selling newer cases to buy keys to older cases, in order to not waste money and still get skins to trade and get the ones I really want.

    Luckily I actually don't prefer the really expensive ones. For example I prefer the Elite Build AK, which is a blue.

    Also, had to brag/share my latest opening.

    Been playing a lot more lately, and I started playing deathmatch for a couple of rounds every day - noticeably improved aim and reaction time.

    If you want to improve aim etc I suggest AM servers. Set map filter to am in community servers and join one.

    Is AM supposed be the aim_? I find deathmatch to be superior when practicing spray patterns, controlled bursts in close/semi-close and reaction speed. The aim maps are somewhat predictable in enemy position and usually ends up in being semi-long range tapping.

    Both are useful I suppose but it's the deathmatch variant of improvement I feel I need at the moment. I'm somewhat comfortable at long range. Thanks for the advice anyhow, I have to catch up in ranks with my friends somehow :)

    Well, both are useful but I guess its what you prefer that matters.

    Btw, what is you and your friends ranks?

    I'm MGE, they're all between LEM and Global. Hence mainly playing versus Eagles or higher. The few solo queue games I do go well enough, scoring consistenly high - but not enough to pull off those games.

    Well, from what I experienced DM/AM maps didn't yield that much for me. I just played alot of competetive matches because Practice makes perfect

    Ankan Just for you I did. Now I'm LEM in OCE, or as you suggest, Nova 1 elsewhere.

    Always one step behind, as I take Eagle you take LEM - one day I will beat you Jon, mark my words!

    Can't be Nova 1 level. No area is that bad. Fucking EU players at DMG level are still not very good at CS, most are usually just good at one single skill and/or map, and EU is supposed to be good.

    So next upcoming we have the Dreamhack Cluj-Napoca semifinals.

    The Current contenders are;

    Envyus VS G2

    NiP VS Na'vi.

    What have you enjoyed the most so far in this major and what are your thoughts for the upcoming matchups?

    Envyus are my favourite team. I was so hyped when they beat fnatic after losing mirage. Unbelievable that 3 of the top 4 are out.

    Well, Envyus beating fnatic isn't so strange, and NIP beating TSM isn't too weird either. When NIP plays at their best they can stronk. The really weird one was VP v G2.

    But even there, VP has been off form recently if you've been keeping up with the ESL Pro League. Some pretty one sided losses for them in the last couple of weeks.

    Also, glory hunter :p Titan all the way. There's nothing more fun than watching Screamy when he's in the headshot zone.

    I was rooting for Titan against NiP, they have 2 Belgian players after all. But I've always supported Happy's teams.
