I created «cs_web 1.0» — an interactive database of banned pros with connections between players. In total, the database includes 66 cheaters/matchfixers, from whom as many as 953 connections were formed!

@Chelovechekchec @Sam22588549 Это, кстати, зависит от даты первой публикации. На «Мастера и Маргариту» еще действуют авторские права, потому что она была издана только в 1989 году, кажется. И родственник Булгакова до сих пор получает роялти с продаж, хотя книга написана в 30-е

@Sam22588549 Культура пиратства подразумевает всеобщий доступ к образованию вне зависимости от финансового положения. А знания не должны быть привилегией.

@zonic Valve could even distribute them by maps so players could collect their own builds. It would finally give at least some recognition to coaches, who’ve never had items dedicated to them.

[shternz @shternz44]

Valve added some casual elements to CS yesterday by introducing an option that shows grenade lineups during the first five rounds of a match.

An immediate idea to expand on this: pre-made lineup sets from coaches, tied to Majors.

@Huwjr Sure, DM?

🥇 When did countries debut at S- and A-tier tournaments?

I went through all of Liquipedia’s tournament pages from the 2000s to gather it. Obviously, some of the information is inaccurate — not every event had complete records. Still, the results turned out to be interesting.

[shternz @shternz44]

Lebanon is the only country where the first pro debut at A-tier+ CS tournaments was made by a woman rather than a man

💪 FACEIT Power Map of Europe

I combined the statistics for the percentage of FACEIT players by country and the median Elo across Europe into a single chart — now it’s much clearer.

So, who deserves the title of the strongest country?

[shternz @shternz44]

@GaLiL_cs Actually, adai played with r3lifwow on HLTV, I don’t know why he got unpinned. Thanks for noticing

[shternz @shternz44]

@vm1_css @FACEITcs @grok what is the difference between median and average numbers

[shternz @shternz44]

🕺 Median @FACEITcs ELO across European countries

Iceland and Luxembourg take the top spots. Surprised? So was I.

It’s also interesting that Kosovo has the highest number of players per capita, yet it ranks second to last in median ELO.

@JayC8474 @FACEITcs It’s kinda stupid but I couldn’t collect reliable data. FACEIT Tracker identifies Slovenia and Sierra Leone as the same country for some reason

[shternz @shternz44]

🤝 Percentage of @FACEITcs players per capita in Europe

Yet another confirmation that the further north a country is, the more people tend to stay at home and grind.

The only truly impressive thing here is Kosovo’s share. It seems to be driven by the massive success of 🇽🇰 BNE

@Noxville @FACEITcs you got me
