@awpwizard @Ozzny_CS2 The current season ends on April 21st, and the new season begins the next day on the 22nd.

@Ozzny_CS2 When does the season end? When will this update be in place?

NEW FACEIT Update for the upcoming Season ‼️ > ELO will be hidden at the start of the Season > Players will have to play 10 Placement Matches > New ELO will be revealed after placement matches are completed > This will include a soft ELO reset based on current ELO & recent activity

@RcoNNN @ThourCS @FACEITcs If you qualify, you can send in a support ticket with proof that you have CS2 and FACEIT account information and request to be added to the CS2. Provided you meet all of the requirements, you should be able to be added.

@ThourCS @FACEITcs on faceit,i do have cs2 since beta day one

Played my first @FACEITcs CS2 match at high ping (175ms) and was still able to play fine. Here are some bugs I could find: - Damage doesn't update on the scoreboard. - You can't refund flashes, works fine offline or on Valve Server. - The team name doesn't show up as of now at the round end. Overall, much better hit registry as compared to Valve MM servers. It can surely be a placebo. 🫶

Today, we're excited to announce our first test of Verified Matching ✔️ and Verified Ladder 🏆, two new features aiming to gradually reduce disruptive multi-accounts in matchmaking. Here's what you need to know! - 🧵

Where were you when the smoke changed?

Obviously, these are just guesses and could be way off, but I think they are not looking to rock the boat too much but to polish and improve some parts of CS that can improve the average player's experience while not changing the core game too much. 5/5

Tools - Better onboarding process for new players - Improved bot matches - Better built-in support for smokes/lineups practicing - Practices can be shared through a base64-encoded string 4/5

Here are my predictions for Source 2: The update will play a bit of catchup with what Valorant did well while keeping the core CSGO the same. They'll look to improve performance of the game and accessibility to the average player. 1/5

Didn't expect to get hit in the feels so hard when looking at comments on my old frag video.

The best news I've seen recently, my hometown held an online vote to rename their snowplows. And the names are amazing...

Finally, finally got a tournament win in Rocket League.

Me: "People really need to have better security over their accounts" Also me: "Why the fuck do I need to have 2FA set up so I can download an @NVIDIAGeForce driver???"

@CyberWizardtf2 I still think snipers should do 450 fully charged, but it should be a short ramp up to 150, not instant IMO.

@CyberWizardtf2 The simplest way to do this is to reduce base damage to 40, but I'm not sure that's 100% correct. The exact changes would have to be tested, but the basics are that it definitely shouldn't do 150 and probably shouldn't do 125 either (instantly.)

What do you guys think the best balance changes for sniper would be? I’m going to have a couple competitive teams play each other with mods that tweak sniper so that we can see if sniper needs a change and what changes would be the most effective.

@DCS_TF2 I like what the NHL does to resolve this where they just have fewer people on the ice, which allows for more attacking. Or in the playoffs, there are just no shootouts, you play until you win. If you remove the incentive to park the bus, you have to do something.

@DCS_TF2 The issue you're describing of teams not attacking is a problem and would be very boring to watch. That to me feels like a symptom of the fact that penalties are the tiebreaker, and it often (seems) like it is easier to defend than attack.

Hot take for World Cup, it should be golden goal. Allowing full OT is dumb. It gives the advantage to the team who plays passively to have a chance to change strategies if they get beat trying to win the game through penalties.
