Title: CS:GO Competitive ?
Post by: Dexterous on February 14, 2015, 04:34:13 PM
Hi guys it's me (Dex or you may know me as Megamaker depending on when I met you).
Franko, King and I were all playing CS:GO competitive about 10 minutes prior to this post and Franko and I came up with the idea of having a team. Most of the time I find myself disliking competitive due to the random players griefing, going afk and just being irritating, however on this occasion I thoroughly enjoyed myself due to the fact that 60% of the team worked well together and it allowed for a tactical and good natured game. Myself and Franko came up with the idea of forming a team of sorts, that (possibly on allotted nights etc.) agree to join a lobby and just do a competitive match together. Myself and Franko have both agreed we would do this if the option was given to us, we've not asked anyone else yet but would this be the sort of thing anyone might be interested in? Myself and Franko are both silvers so anyone that is above Gold Nova 3 would be I am sad to say, out of the question, unless multiple teams were formed.That said, as we play I would expect all our ranks would increase as a side-effect due to the sheer communication advantage we would have over other teams, so if you are a high rank now, later on you might find yourself eligible.
If you are interested and would want to play a game or two with myself and some others please reply to this thread with your steam name and cs:go rank (by the way we don't mind if you are unranked - just say so in the reply), just so that we can get an idea of the interest in this. Also, we don't mind how mind bogglingly awful you are, we're silvers so you should be about the same skill level as us. :D

I think it's a great idea :D
In fact, a few weeks ago I suggested this to Gunda and asked him if he'd like to take the lead on it. Unfortunately he can't due to RL commitments,
but I still would like to see dMw competing in CS:GO.

We've got some amazing players joined recently and a fair few regulars who just need to be encouraged to register here. Please point them in this direction.

It'll need a fair few interested members to form a player base, at least 8 I'd say, due to people not being able to play on particular nights, and to have a sub waiting to step in in case of PC malfunction/internet woes etc.(This happens!)

C'mon people, put your names down!

Let's make a mark in CS once again!

ERMAHGERD! Turn off your hacks first, then join us :D Seriously though, for some reason I think Master Guardian Elite matches might be quite hard for a silver 4, unless of course you wanted to come along anywayz for a de-ranking spree. I dunno about the others but I'd play with you anyway, if only to see what Master Guardian Elite is like, good to know you're interested though.

With the exception of the loses yesterdays games were fun!

Just played 2 games with Gunda + three other people of similar ranks to me and we all got annihilated over and over and over and over... (10 minutes later) ... and over and over again. I'm sad to say that I won't be playing any more matches with Master Guardian Elites any time soon but if you get a smurf account or de-rank (a lot) then I'll certainly consider it :D We did ok in silver matches though, I think we just need to get our heads round the fact that while on boomer, people of Gunda's skill level and similar are playing with their hands tied behind their backs.

We can learn a lot from gud players, but it was maybe not the best way to go, I 'll sure watching some of Gundas matches in the future:)

I had to play another mm to make myself feel better about all those whoopings.
Title: CS:GO Competitive ?
Post by: Gunda on February 15, 2015, 10:08:34 PM
to be fair guys those games were harder than some i have played in.  I think the skill levels you guys showed was way beyond the silver ranks you have so i am sure you will rank up fast.
The higher rank games seem to come down to alot of stratagies and tactical play rather than just being able to shoot. i.e. knowing when to fall back to wait for support (ie site retakes) and when to rush, who has the flashes and playing smart etc.

ECO rounds being a good thing, knowing when to buy when not to, and what to buy 2nd round if we win the pistol.. ie not M4's and AK's better to buy smg's for the +money and the fact the other team will probably not have armor.

I watch alot of TheWarOwl (he does some good commentary's on pro games), Hatton, Natosaphix, ImAnderZel and MrTweeday

I am definitely not MGE level i have that rank due to winning 10+ games in a row when i had zero rank, but most of those wins i felt like i was carried by others.  my first rank was MGE, then i ranked up to DMG for like 3 weeks i think, then straight back down.
Title: CS:GO Competitive ?
Post by: frankopeti on February 15, 2015, 10:19:41 PM
I do watch a lot of pro games lately just to see some sort of strategies, hopefully will help:), hopefully will rank up soon, coz I am still in silver 2 and won almost 60 games:) I am a shame :)

Don't be put off lads, Gunda is talking a lot of sense here.
If it would help, I can get a comp channel in TS for you to use. (I know all-talk/ dead-talk is on, but it may be useful in the lobby etc)
Thanks for representing us tonight, and GL in future.

(I would've joined but my game crashes to desktop with a sound-loop that requires a re-boot every hour or so)

Post by: King85 on February 16, 2015, 05:09:03 PM
Playing with Gunda was great in the sense that he had a lot of useful knowledge to pass on but the jump in level personally was too great to either improve or enjoy it as i'd be dead pretty quickly every round.
Title: CS:GO Competitive ?
Post by: Gunda on February 16, 2015, 09:40:06 PM
strange thing is the matching system should take into account the total number of elo points we had as a group of 5 people so there is no way it should have put us up against 2 DMG and 3 MGE's :(

The rounds we did win though would have done given some nice +points to you guys

Title: CS:GO Competitive ?
Post by: Gunda on February 18, 2015, 01:04:55 PM
to be honest i probably need to be de-ranked.  When i was unranked, i won some games 16-0 but it was not due to me.

Also i think i have only played like 15-20 comp games so far, and according to an acticle i read the ranking is not accurate until you have played about 500!!! matches..
Title: CS:GO Competitive ?
Post by: frankopeti on February 18, 2015, 02:03:19 PM
500 my God I have played around 80-90 maybe
Title: CS:GO Competitive ?

I've requested a CS:GO comp channel for you.
It will hopefully be useful when you are in lobby or if someone has connection problems etc.

Post by: Gunda on February 19, 2015, 09:32:12 AM
Getting mvp for a round helps hugely
when trying to rank up apparently. Also remember that it is  round wins that count, so winning 16-14 is definitely not as good for ranking up as winning 16-0.

Quick update on how we've been doing. So far we've had an overall excellent experience and this has been shown in our ranks. I've gone from a lowly Silver 4 to a Master Guardian Elite (I've ranked up 9 times since this thread was started). It's been brilliant so far and is looking to get better.

Title: CS:GO Competitive ?
Post by: TeaLeaf on June 12, 2015, 07:38:47 AM
I've ranked up a little from where I started, but am still a lowly Silver Elite Master.  I think I could improve a little from there (but not as high as you Dex) but I would need to be in a team to do so.  The teams I have met in competitive pugs that have wiped the floor with us have very clearly had voice comm coordinated teamwork and planning and were not your regular competitive pugs!

I see they have altered the match making rank system. You now have to have a rank of 3 before you can take part in match making.
My son is a Gold Nova Master and cant play now until he gets a rank of 3

Decided to give this another go, I don't know what rank they are, but I kicked their butts. They were all calling me a smurf? But I'm not too sure what that is (Apart from the blue things with white hats).

I'm now a 21 hour ban whilst they find me a skill group on the matchmaking servers?

Title: CS:GO Competitive ?
Post by: SLoWHaND on June 22, 2015, 07:07:48 AM
A Smurf........Its someone with an high rank playing on a new account so they can kick ass rather than play at there own standard. They may also be trying to boost a friend up the ranks by playing on their account.

I also got accused of this when first playing, as Franko says you will only be allowed to play 2 matches per day until you have won 10. They will then issue you with a matchmaker rank.
Title: CS:GO Competitive ?
Post by: DannagE on June 22, 2015, 08:32:45 AM
They've tried to make it harder to smurf now by putting the rank 3 in place so they would have to play the game in other modes before they can play competitive.

A little late but I can play comp whenever you guys need space.

My main is Supreme Master First Class but my smurf is LE. I would only use my smurf for pre-made matchmaking though, I tend to solo Q on my main or play with my uni lot.

Post by: Sixthor on September 25, 2015, 08:03:52 PM
Hey guys... as you know, I'm new to the game (even though I played some 1.6 about 10 years ago). Having an extensive amount of competitive clan gaming from other games behind me, I would love to jump in here at some point!

I realise that I'm still lacking the neccessary skill to compete at a high level, so I'll need some more time to develop (I feel like I'm picking up new things almost every night that I play!). I don't do much of the other ranked playing though, as I don't find DM/arms race very rewarding, so I've only gotten to a bit over rank 3. Anyways, let me know when/if you think I'm ready and I'll gladly join if there's a spot to fill :)
Title: CS:GO Competitive ?
Post by: Dexterous on September 25, 2015, 09:45:44 PM
I'd be happy to play with you, the main thing is making sure you have fun while playing. In comp games you'd be matched up against players who would generally be quite a high rank if you played a match with me, Franko or any of the regular competitive players. I honestly recommend playing 10 competitive games, gain a rank and then we can think about how best to approach it, otherwise we won't really know your skill level that accurately.
Title: CS:GO Competitive ?
Post by: frankopeti on September 26, 2015, 07:45:26 PM
Dex is right u should play 10 solo get ur rank, best thing to do if u wanna play mm to gang up with people from similar ranks so the team would be more balanced as the other team will be who u go against, mm is a lot of fun:) as soon as u get ur rank let us know:)
Title: CS:GO Competitive ?
Post by: Sixthor on September 26, 2015, 08:14:31 PM
Ok, thanks guys. So if I play 10 competitive games I will get a rank? Will that rank be based on the team's performance or some sort of skill-based personal rank depending on how I did myself?
Title: CS:GO Competitive ?
Post by: frankopeti on September 26, 2015, 09:10:01 PM
I have no idea have the ranking system works its quite a mystery:) no1 knows, but to get a mm rank u have to play 10 games 2 per day after that u can play as much as u want,gud luck:)

QuoteAnything listed below does NOT have ANY effect on Ranks & Points unless it leads to a MVP:

    Kills, Assists & Deaths
    Teamkills or Suicides
    Headshots
    Accuracy
    Grenades kills, knife kills, stylish kills or anything of this sort
    The time each rounds takes (to win or lose)
    Losing/Winning with or without the bomb planeted
    Soreboard position and/or Score
    Achievements gained during each round (if any)
    Hostage rescues or shots
    Damage given and/or Taken
    etc. (Anything else you can imagine)


So what affects your rank (points gained or lost) in a nutshell is:

    Current Elo Points (rank)
    Round Win/Loss
    MVPs Gained

Thanks pesteh!

Well, I just played my first competitive match tonight and won it quite convincingly, scoring at least 7 MVPs and having most kills in the team as well as defusing at least once... I'm liking it a lot so far! Gonna take me some time to rack up 10 wins (edit: WINS, not matches!) though, but structured gameplay has always been my foretake ahead of mindless zerging and people yelling at each other. I always "play the objective" and although I might not do it as everyone else would, I play for the TEAM to win! :)

Nay its 2 wins per day, you can lose as many as you want but as soon as you hit 2 wins its a days cool down.

Apa you're welcome to join me on competitive any time, I have a private TS for games and have a few regulars who join (from Gold Nova 4 to Global). That goes for any one really just drop me a message, we do have a few rules when playing though...
1. Team Work.
2. Very little frag hunting (sometimes it works).
3. Cover your positions and if its lost let the team know asap.
4. No screaming / shouting / gloating
5. If you die give brief info on what you know then use text for talking
6. Have fun :)

For tips ranking I find MPV's to be a big help so plant the bomb as much as poss, defuse etc etc. Try and find a regular group of people to play with to eliminate the potential random down ranker / cheater / annoyance. Don't be afraid of asking for help in games some people can be d**ks but most will be encouraging. Spend the time in offline games to learn the maps / smokes / flashes / fire spots. Find positions you like and can hold, there is nothing wrong with being good at just long range / being good up close just make sure you can rotate effectively and provide back up when needed.

Yeah Its great fun if you can get in with the likes of SLi, Franko and Co.
It can be a bit of a lottery in a SOLO que and can be a real pain if your team mates turn out to be knobs.
Solo queing is not recommended if you want to protect your rank.

Hi All

I've played quite a lot with you guys on the community server but dropped off recently because I'm really hooked on competitive. You can imagine my joy to see you're all getting on this!

I'm currently DMG and would be happy to play with anyone and everyone (given that you're happy to - I see the posts about playing with higher ranks but it sounds like you're all increasing pretty fast?!), and I tend to be on Monday eves and late Tuesdays, then late when I can and weekends a lot.

If this appeals please add me if we aren't already buddies (handle Bellowhead, Steam account D4L14DY) and I'll see you in-game!

Thanks

Ed (Bellowhead)

Hi everyone again...
Yesterday evening I got my 10th win through solo ques (not been putting too much time into it - I like playing on the community server as well!).
I ended up ranking as Master Guardian Elite (the crossed AKs). Don't know how this compares to the rest of you guys, but maybe at least I'm somewhat nearby and not too far down the ladder. I do play a lot differently when it's "for real" than I do when on the server, where I'm more into having fun and trying new things/weapons - after all, I'm still learning some of the basics of the game! Would be happy to join in if you need an extra body :)

@Sli: I'd love to join you sometimes as well. I've got you on Steam, so I'll keep an eye out if I'm in the mood!

It also depends on how you played in the game, it has been confirmed that you can now down-rank on a win. It would make more sense if in those 11 games, you played poorly in 3, top fragged in 3 and in the other 5 were in the middle of the scoreboard.

so... this just happened. I got kicked out of a competitive match because I did too much damage too my teammates.

These 3 guys with a "Cowboys" tag in front of their names started flaming from the 1st round. then by accident I shot one in the face when he came passed me
while I was shooting and thereby killed him. So these 3 eastern european guys started running in front of me and up against me blocking my view and room for several rounds running in my molotovs on purpose...

What do you do against such a bunge of a-holes? (pardon my language)
