Today we are introducing CS Rating—a precise display of your skill in Counter-Strike 2. With regional and World Leaderboards you'll know exactly how you stack up. Competitive mode in CS2 now features per-map Skill Groups, so players can master their favorite maps while learning others. And in Counter-Strike 2,... match length is changing to 12 round halves, with overtime, to determine a winner. And beginning today, we are starting the process of inviting as many eligible players as possible to the Limited Test. To be eligible, players must have CS:GO Prime Status, an active Competitive Skill Group, and play the majority of their official matchmaking games in one of the regions where the Limited Test is available. Start earning your CS Rating in Premier Mode, now available in-game alongside the overhauled de_inferno. If you haven't played Counter-Strike 2 yet, now's your time.show more

Thank you, Xyp9x Today we bid farewell to a legend as we are parting ways with Andreas “Xyp9x” Højsleth, who will soon be taking on a new challenge. As a founding member, Andreas is a vital part of the team that forever changed Counter-Strike through a new vision for the game and how it is played, and with 4 Majors and 24 major LAN trophies he is one of the most winning players ever. It is not only on the server and in the statistics, though, Andreas has made his mark and a real difference. He has always been there for the fans, to his team-mates he has been a rock, and to Astralis.. He is family. We are proud to have been a part of your amazing journey, Andreas, and we can’t wait to see how you will grow even further as a part of the Counter-Strike scene. On behalf of everyone in Astralis Thank you

Wild Rift matchmaking is at an all-time low. Wild Rift is the only game that matches the rank 3 (top 0.000001%) player with top 15% players. Master tier in Wild Rift is top 15% of players btw. Climbing has become extremely easy for those who spam games, due to the loss shields you gain from playing a lot. There are many examples of 48% winrate Master+ players with 1,000+ games. So even these top 15% players should be even lower in ranking. Their skill level is nowhere near the elo that they are in. This is not only an issue in Master+ but in every elo. PapaSmoothie incentivize players to queue up for Legendary Queue (there hasn't been a single legend player in the last few seasons in NA and EU) or fix normal ranked. I'm surprised this is not a top priority considering how many players quit the game over the matchmaking. My Youtube comments, stream chat, discord server, and X mentions are flooded with complaints about the matchmaking.

How can players make a big jump next year?!?! For High School and College players… they all put in work with their coaches. Most of them have a trainer they see to put in work. So what is the separator? 1. Are you working on the right things with your coaches that are going to help you be a better player working your team and overall 2. HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU PUT IN THE GYM ON YOUR OWN. This is a HUGE SEPARATOR because this time isn’t dependent on anyone and is unlimited in how much you do. Almost every player I’ve worked with that has made a BIG JUMP has put in extra time on their own. It’s not only because of the work, but it also helps players understand their game better and gives them a bigger investment in their development. As a player you should assess that part of your development today!

Interviewer: "We are talking about the old Chelsea, the old competitive energy, and to play football and compete. There were seven wins and seven defeats in the Premier League here last season. How do you go about turning this place back into a fortress?" Xabi Alonso: "We need to build this. The idea, the competitive mentality, how we want to compete, how we want to play, and in every moment of the game, how we compete." Interviewer: "Four years ago Chelsea won a European trophy, then the Club World Cup, then the Premier League. They've also had two seasons finishing 10th. Where is this club now and what would you be content with?" Xabi Alonso: "I think, to be ready, the players need to be ready from the start, to make the right decisions. Football is very demanding." Interviewer: "How do you want your team to play? What can we expect from you?" Xabi Alonso: "We want to play good football. We want to be active, aggressive, and very competitive." Interviewer: "You have so many good players already. Cole Palmer has had the summer off. Have you already started to see the benefits?" Xabi Alonso: "We've already been together in training, and what I've seen is that he's come in with a good spirit. He wants to prepare himself well, he wants to forget the injuries. If we get the best from Cole, we will have a better chance." Interviewer: "There's a big stand here now, and you're just a few days away from your first game of the tour. How excited are you to be on the touchline?" Xabi Alonso: "It's still a few weeks to go. Right now I'm excited about the daily work, being with the players and working with them. That will come, for sure. I'm looking forward to it."

Phee says Unrivaled is still necessary even with new WNBA CBA and players in Unrivaled could actually make more than the W max: “Our salaries are still extremely competitive. Most people are still making more in Unrivaled than they are in the WNBA. And, on top of that, we still have to play… you still have to improve your game in the offseason. You still have to workout and playing against the best players… iron sharpens iron.”

Good morning Amb Hon Ababu-Namwamba, EGH🇰🇪 the public is still demanding you publish the delegation to #ParisOlympics2024 & the taxpayers budgetary allocations. As you publish your list of shame, let me take this opportunity to reintroduce myself to you. Clearly you’re listening, as of now some players allowances have been disbursed. We are not going to applaud the fish for swimming & we’re still monitoring the progress as all of a sudden things seem to be moving. Publish the list with all officials and their per diem per day, wasting taxpayers money to travel and sit in expensive hotels. Some never even make it to watch the athletes compete. Then let’s cross check with what players are being paid per day while slaving away in their training camps with limited resources. Amb Hon Ababu-Namwamba, EGH🇰🇪 we know you are a political appointee and sportsmen/women are not your priority. We are here to remind you who you work for, and that is the people of kenya 🇰🇪 with athletes being your employer. Stop with the meaningless PR stunts and get to work, caressing your ego sponsoring hashtags #LetNamwambaWank is diabolical and narcissistic for a person in your position. Get the job done and the results will speak for themselves, otherwise step down and let others do the job. FYI we lost this game 45-5 but we gave one hell of a fight to the very end, that’s the spirit you are up against. We are not going to give up until things are in order.

In 1977, Ashtar (leader of Sirius and Sirians within Galactic Federation) interrupted a British television broadcast with a warning that we "have a short time to learn to live together in peace" so that we can share in the "Great Awakening of the New Age of Aquarius." Peace is an individual choice. Humans are being morally tested to determine who ascends to become a galactic civilization. Not everyone will ascend. "Only those who learn to live in peace will pass to the higher realms of spiritual evolution." Galactic Federation are the angels of light walking among us and assisting us unseen. They continually send teachers to remind us that this is our planet, and we're the ones in control of our outcomes. ------- ASHTAR COMMAND - "For many years you have seen us as lights in the skies. We speak to you now in peace and wisdom as we have done to your brothers and sisters all over this, your planet Earth. We come to warn you of the destiny of your race and your world so that you may communicate to your fellow beings the course you must take to avoid the disaster which threatens your world, and the beings on our worlds around you. This is in order that you may share in the great awakening, as the planet passes into the New Age of Aquarius. The New Age can be a time of great peace and evolution for your race, but only if your rulers are made aware of the evil forces that can overshadow their judgments. Be still now and listen, for your chance may not come again. All your weapons of evil must be removed. The time for conflict is now past and the race of which you are a part may proceed to the higher stages of its evolution if you show yourselves worthy to do this. You have but a short time to learn to live together in peace and goodwill. Small groups all over the planet are learning this and exist to pass on the light of the dawning New Age to you all. You are free to accept or reject their teachings, but only those who learn to live in peace will pass to the higher realms of spiritual evolution. You must learn to be sensitive to the voice within that can tell you what is truth, and what is confusion, chaos and untruth. Learn to listen to the voice of truth which is within you, and you will lead yourselves onto the path of evolution. This is our message to our dear friends. We have watched you growing for many years as you too have watched our lights in your skies. You know now that we are here, and that there are more beings on and around your Earth than your scientists admit. We are deeply concerned about you and your path towards the light and will do all we can to help you. Have no fear, seek only to know yourselves, and live in harmony with the ways of your planet Earth. We here at the Ashtar Galactic Command thank you for your attention. We are now leaving the planes of your existence. May you be blessed by the supreme love and truth of the cosmos."

Call of Duty players always acted like COD was a competitive game when it was just digital airsoft with guns that all feel the same, especially in "hardcore mode." Meanwhile, Halo was treated as a "casual" game, even though any decent Halo player would easily shit on COD players while the reverse wasn't true at all. In terms of mechanical skill, Halo just objectively has more going on, more moment-to-moment decisions to make, and a way higher skill ceiling than COD — much more thought is given to movement tech, positioning, choice of weapon, mind games, etc. Halo's higher average TTK requires the use of more advanced tactics to outplay your opponent. But more than that, Halo also gives much more power to the individual player by allowing to achieve faster kill times by being more accurate — because the weapons are generally harder to use than in COD, this means that kill times vary a lot with player skill. So the better player will simply kill faster, all else being equal. But in COD, all the guns are so stupidly easy to use that there's almost no variance in kill times, boiling the game down to the "I saw you first" cliche, especially in the so-called "hardcore" mode, which actually just rewards having faster reflexes over any other aspect of player skill. Halo and Counter-Strike have more in common than COD has with either of them.

Counter Strike hacking is one of my guilty pleasures. This is a video of an AI tool built into one of the most popular HvH cheats on the market. HvH (Hack vs. Hack) is a game mode where everyone in the lobby is cheating. “If everyone is cheating, then how is it fun?” The game becomes something entirely different in this mode. Instead of focusing on physical reaction time, aim, and movement skills, players must concentrate on the quality of their cheats compared to those used by their opponents. The game essentially turns into a sandbox for software optimization, where cheaters compete against each other to see who has the better-written code and configuration. Players must use every tool available to keep up with everyone else in the scene. My favorite cheat, Anti-Aim (AA), is used to help protect players from getting shot by cleverly exploiting the game mechanics to fake the angle of their hitbox. It works by choking abs yaw packets to exploit a coding error in the game, causing your model’s position to appear bugged to other players. The server processes each command sent by the client in the order it receives them, then it updates animations for each command. After this, the server takes the latest information it has and sends it to other players. If you choke packets, you will essentially send all of your choked commands at the same time. Again, the server will look at what’s latest and send that to other players. Now, you should see the issue clearly: the client is missing loads of information and will start updating animations with incorrect information. This will lead to numerous inaccuracies in their animation state, most importantly their abs yaw (m_flGoalFeetyaw), which indicates where their feet are pointing. The creation of Anti-aim techniques significantly disrupted gameplay, giving users an extra unfair advantage. This compelled players to devise a solution— Resolvers are used to counter anti-aim by determining where the player’s hitbox actually is. One commonly used type of resolver is the old angle resolver. Old angle resolvers work by storing the previous angles from when the player wasn’t faking their position and later shooting at them. —forcing both sides—Anti-Aim developers and Resolver developers—to continuously improve their code and technique. HvH is an ever-evolving arms race where staying ahead is as much about innovation as it is about execution. Code rules all, and hitting p is the only goal. That’s what keeps me coming back. (Video: @peter2b2t, YouTube)
