Solo-queue'ng with 4 Russians is like trying to communicate with 4 baboons. 45 min of constant swearing, inability to speak English besides the "fakink noob", baiting you, teamkilling you, and if you get lucky they'll eventually kick you.
I don't think it's worth it given how likely is such a player to give you valuable or frequent info. The calls you miss are probably "ALL B" when half the time that means four people because counting is hard.
"I was gonna become a CS:GO pro, but then I got high!
(Ooooh oooh oooooh....)
I was gonna 360 no-scope them all, but then I got high...
Now I'm playing Quack, and I know why!!!
Because I got high, because I got high, because I got hiiiigh!"
im lem supreme and my stats are in times better
dont get me wrong i want him to make it
its just highly unlikely judging by the fact he was LE and by far needs the general experience in GO 900 hours =nothing

I got supreme in 250hours and I've never played CS before, ~LE with those kinda stats, and performing the way he is after 900 hours is pretty terrible.
its kınd of normal, if you dont make it high at the start, you just stuck there, I was DMG, and I wont like 15 matches straight, then I lost 1, then win 3 again but I was just stuck. After a loooong time it moved on.
casually yeah. its not my kind of game though. i have these little csgo stints where i play it from a day to a week tops and then nothing for a while.
it leans so heavily on positioning, reactiontime and patience. positioning can be learned by playing 24/7, my reactiontime is alright, and patience... ehh. its annoying my 20cm/360 doesnt translate over to csgo -other than deathmatch games- so theres not much muscle memory to work with :)
In CS after pressing shoot once all the quake experience doesn't mean shit ; )
You need bullshit control and sit_behind_the_box patience. Not even mentioning sit_behind_the_corner patience - this one is true skill.
Fortunately everyone use cheats so you can too :)
Would be very surprising if he did. It's probably become apparent to anyone now that cypher doesn't give a flying fuck about online QL. It also seems he's not with Titan any more, so any obligations to play comp regularly are gone as well. On the other hand, at Moscow he could play with lan ping.
He cares about money and cs has bigger prizes. But you have to be in the very top to cash in. I think he cant get to the top in a short period and then he will give up and come back to what he does best

this level doesn't mean a shit, it's not like ELO or battle net ranks. Just top5/10 teams in a world can live from CS, so it's ~50-100 players around a world. Cypher have like 0.1% to do this in this/next year..
Why cypher is doing this? I think it's becouse of STREAM, a popular guys in cs streams, gets a ton of donations... and one guy , named MOTOR2K, have donated like ~50-100k$? Atleast for one guy , he donated 30k $ already.
The plot thickens. Good for him anyway, good for him. It was just a waste having him sitting idle waiting for quakecon.
And all this doesn't mean he won't play quake anymore, he could be back sooner than later.
if you're professional you'll be one of the top 3 ranks, LEM-Supreme-Global depending on how many cheaters you go against, all pros would be global if there were no cheaters
everything up to about Master Guardian is retards that don't know how to play fps.
Btw, I remember an interview with Av3k and Stermy that they were going to form a CS team. It was from 2010 or so. Was that a joke or they really tried to do that?
well actually cypher trains a lot and is one of the better conditioned players around contrary to people's opinions of him as only using his "natural talent"
cs go is boring to watch,.....even NIP matches are so boring...one shot hits are cool but short and looks not very special...in quake u can be athletic in sucking the opponent all the health
Guess his coreskilllevel could be at the top within 4-6months, but his teamplay?
There is probably a reason why he has never won anything in tdm, either he does not feel confident in it or he does not like to play with a team.
so true
individually you could probably nerd dm/individualy practice 24/7
but having good teammates with who to practice is probably 10x more important
sounds bout right. at some point in cs, improving your mechanics (aim, spray control, movement, etc) just becomes masturbation and your time is much better spent getting your teammates to play better as a team. see players like shroud, and scream with arguably the best mechanical skill, but stuck with tier 2-3 teams.
CS GO favors gamesense far more than aiming. I say this after making LEM in 53hrs of comp according to game-stats,
I see people with pretty poor aim do very well due to their positioning and such.
For the aim component there's reaction and strafe/mouse aim. For cs, reaction time is more important. Unlucky for cypher his reactions aren't fast.

Good example is ScreaM, I dont think he got insane reflexes like some of the awpers, but i still think he will be one of the best in the near future. Aim > All
Scream's reactions are fast, I saw him hit through the doors in dust2 with an awp.
I haven't seen anyone dominate so hard in cs go from pure aim. http://www.twitch.tv/scream/v/3785924?t=1h6m50s
Yeah LEM is not that impressive, but I've never played "comp" cs before. I also generally play when I'm tired, and CS isn't good for that.
Edited by jigglywiggly at 13:14 CST, 17 February 2015
Still his eye to hand coordination is what makes him insane, and i think cypher Has the Same quality, but time Will Tell.
Between Doors on d2 is easy, or i have good reflexes.
Most people shoot through the door itself, but it's about consistency when you shoot inbetween the doors.
But yeah if you can make those shots pretty consistently you have good reflexes.
Also cypher's handeye coordination is nowhere near Scream's.

it will be interesting to see how cypher's top tier duel skills can translate to a team game like CS, most quakers i've seen playing CS retain great awareness and reaction speed but can sometimes have weak aim or even team skills
They're in noob ranks. But a lot of duelers get upset about cs go since they start to realize that they aren't as talented as they thought they were. If they were, they'd be too busy circle jerking in CA instead of playing duel.
For reference most top duelers are around double ak(MGE). I played a few games of MGE on my alt, and ended up with around a 4+ kdr and got hackused a lot.
Edited by jigglywiggly at 21:21 CST, 16 February 2015
yea but all u do is gaming in ur life, whereas most duelers are cool people with a life. but most ca-circlejerkers have absolutely nothing, hence their epic skills (that never give them anything because they are mentally too weak to win when it counts)
You have it backwards, ca players are the ones who are busy. I'm finishing my bs in bioengineeering at a university of california. Another CA friend of mine ceellan just finished his degree in medical something. Another friend espy is married with kids and has a nice job in chemical something. Those players I mentioned have really good aim.
Meanwhile rapha is busy not even starting college.
Duel is a time commitment that people who are busy can't affoard.

From what I heard on ashs stream cypher is constantly raging and suka blyating getting killed by low ranked players, but idk if he plays more seriously in other matches with a team perhaps =D
1.6 was better than csgo anyway, and its more fun to watch the mighty cypher in quak)
edit: would be cool if he did amazing and played at some LAN though!
