From my observation, CS is becoming the most popular international esport in China (proven again by how many of my friends who don’t work in CS were talking about yesterday’s Major finals).
My honest opinion is one should try to seize this opportunity and do what you have to do with this information.
Does anyone have any creative ideas on how to make a live selling stream more interesting? Thinking about adding some random chance aspects (gambling), as well as some sort of aspect to keep people around (maybe every 10 items we spin a wheel to decide what's being given away).
@birbcs@Kfuecs Myself I have watched the scene from the sidelines since ~2019;
this is just what happens when something gets a spotlight in the mainstream, it becomes "averaged", no longer a niche thing
Bummer to have witnessed so many names come and go
How are people thinking this is bad?
This is one of the better updates in like a year.
This inarguably improves the game to be on a higher skill ceiling, which is what Counter-Strike is about.
Dear valve @CounterStrike - the idea of removing the mrq/rmr is actually good. But only if you actually sorted the circuit and made it a demand to host qualifiers for every ranked event. The fact that every tournament is pure VRS invite, makes this a horrendous change. Step up…
@olafkswg@CounterStrike Tbf, this has the upside of making armory crate items cheaper for regular consumers in the long run, since more items available for the high demand
@elitepandacs Might be true for this case, dont know dont care, but by the same logic, beef like that might be real considering the average person beefs with other average / nonavarage people as well and the amount of money you accumulate does not change that fact.
It goes both ways
Biggest overall life productivity hack i’ve found in recent years is if u have no specific plan on what ur gonna do in front of the computer, don’t even be at home.
Well, @jk_rowling is absolutely right!
Almost every child goes through some kind of identity crisis during puberty. It is deeply wrong to make them permanently infertile with “puberty blockers”.
If they still wish to transition as adults, provided they are fully informed of the risks, they can then make decisions as consenting adults.
