I probably didn't get a kill for an hour when I started playing, but now it's the most addictive thing ever.

Stay far far away. Been playing since 1.6, have an average of 3k hours into CSS, and at least 750 between 2 accounts in CS:GO

Was a Distinguished Master Guardian, but started playing more casually, so dropped myself down to Gold Nova 3 so I can stop stressing out every time I play competitive.

Add me if you want to play, or need tips. Can link guides/videos if you need help learning recoil patterns, smoke positionings, etc.

Just know your first few months youll be frustrated af from getting absolutely wrecked by 1 shot hs, and trying to learn the maps. But then it gets fun, and the community is great.

Aha oh shit, wrecked. Yeah if I can get a PC built up soon it will probably be one of the first games I get. Watching Sark's videos has me pretty sold on it:

I'm a big TF2 guy though so I'll probably get sat down hard for weeks on end...

When I played competitive a lot i got to nova 1 a few times, i'd usually rank up and get super stoked then play more and just get rekt by the next level of players and go down to silver 5 again. Then id play a bunch more and get nova 1 again then just get so rekt.

I also played with alot of higher ranks (nova 1 - ak) and i played in some pretty lopsided games, the matchmaking isn't super great but I still enjoy compet. I play alot more casual these days but I kind of want to dive into compet again.

Anyone add me if you wanna rape noobs, my steam is eheathmt

The ranking system is quite strange, but you'll get harder games with higher ranks and itll level out.

Yeah, it's quite strange, my friend got Gold Nova 1 with the first 10 wins and he is not that much better than me hah. Would love to play with you US guys, but the ping is horrible I've tried :/

The referenced post has been removed.


Thats pretty lame, why would you pay someone to play on your account? If they bring you up into a higher skill bracket, you just get shit on by better players
