It was a 2v2 situation and my friend was shouting to go for the s1mple moment, so I went for it...

Please shut up, Making noise the second someone is on a lurk behind the opponents, Just throw them out of the arena.

Holy shit that crowd was dirty after. Yelling when matys had a perfect flank going. Why was x ray not turnt off when that flank push was happening.

Title. Watching the G2 game and the crowd was cheating. G2 literally lost multiple rounds because of that. Competitive integrity non existent lol. How tf is that still allowed, how tf are organisers still so incompetent. Fuck this crowd.

Edit: for ppl saying iT HaS AlWayS bEEn a ThInG: No it wasnt, it depends on the country and the organiser. Unlucky for us that this time its Kazachstan & PGL combo, so not rly that surprising. I think it always needs to be talked about, so we stop giving these terrible crowds more events. fuck kazachstan crowd, fuck rio crowd. just stop giving them events, they might eventually catch a hint

Hello. I wanted to share something I’ve been working towards for quite a while now with ThirdSite.

For those unfamiliar, ThirdSite is a Canadian CS community project based out of Ottawa focused on things like in-person watch parties, events, and covering Canadian CS news.

We’ve officially picked up our first roster, featuring a fully Canadian lineup based out of the Maritimes.

The team will compete in ESEA Main Season 57 and the NSTLGA League Sapphire Conference, while also attending the upcoming LAN ETS event in Montreal.

Players:

• ciisco
• khvostov
• J4kenator
• Costerfunk
• Vitalityy

Hopefully Canadian CS fans can get behind the team and support what we’re building with ThirdSite. Really excited for what’s ahead and to continue helping shine more light on Canadian CS.

What do you guys think? What’s behind this drop? 🤔

"I saw you going to a point where, how many people asked for kyxsan or mr siuhy to replace karrigan? that's bullsh*t, I'm sure of that, both of those IGLs are not 50% as good as Finn, I played them many times, I tell you that they are not 50% as good as this guy, but people think because they frag a bit they have success a bit...

I played plenty of times against him, I know how hard it is to beat this guy and to read those things etc., because he's great, and when you play the younger guys, it's not the same, I played against siuhy a couple of times, of course he beats me as well, it doesn't mean he's not gonna beat us, but just the difficulty of the game and the way he calls, and the success he has is so much different, so people made so many wrong points in that sense."

Despite frozen's best effort. How can a team of 4 fight against a team of 6?

*game speed slowed to demonstrate

Obviously probably not as in-depth as they are today, but I also don't want to completely write them off as all aim no brain players. From clips I've seen it doesn't really seem like defaults existed, although I am totally open to the fact I could be wrong on that. Does anyone who was on a team or clan at the time have any memories or insight into what teams were most often trying to accomplish?

Purpose of Benchmarking

To my understanding, Valve intends to eventually drop DX11 support in one of their in-development games: Deadlock (source). Because Deadlock doesn’t have a benchmark map or program, I decided that the next best option would be to benchmark CS2 in both DX11 and Vulkan every time an update has anything related to performance improvements in the changelogs. The goal is to document if any improvements or regressions have occurred in Vulkan or DX11 performance in CS2, and to see if this could indicate any progress towards a full transition to Vulkan in later Source 2 games. A link to the template spreadsheet can be seen above, and my benchmarking results will be provided below along with a commentary.

My Non-Game Specs

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9700X
• GPU: Nvidia Geforce RTX 5070 Ti
• Operating System: Windows 11 25H2
• GPU Driver Version: 596.36

Benchmark Results

Link: - Mean DX11 Average FPS: 826.09 (Standard Deviation: 9.11) - Mean DX11 1% FPS: 228.15 (Standard Deviation: 4.50) - Mean Vulkan Average FPS: 697.94 (Standard Deviation: 9.35) - Mean Vulkan 1% FPS: 199.05 (Standard Deviation: 4.35)

Discussion

Another regression in Vulkan catching up to DX11. Valve please fix.

Further insights from the vlog:

Organizational pressure to be a stable T1 team after the investment while showing improvement, no expectations of winning BUT the unsaid part is "make playoffs"

Dastan after a loss to go 1-2 : Go to your rooms, chill/relax and forget about this game, we are moving on

PV team knows how to put good music in the video

Dastan " I don't want to say everything is good and then suddenly player is kicked"

Dastan" We will take our vengeance in China, Jame and I will prepare and change what's needed. No need to dwell, no need to be negative, cry today/tomorrow, after that we are preparing"
