Counter-Strike : Global Offensive

My reason for playing CS:GO was because of the way you can end up winning a round. Its down to the last player who has a pistol thanks to having to run a save round, yet despite being against an AWP and two AKs. You somehow manage to clutch the win. That is what drew me to the game and part of the thrill is actually learning how to throw nades and placement of your model so you can get that angle on the others.

For most of my time with CS:GO, I played Deathmatch and gun game alot to hone my spray and reactions. I cant say I am the best but for the most part, I am still getting used to the learning curve. Which is steep.

My experience with Competitive (without friends) at the unranked level is 4-5 parties of Russians who have mics that make them sound like they are gargling nails with just as much ignorance and stupidity to boot. I know I shouldn't take it seriously but I want to have fun and win while these are just trolling and essentially drooling on their desks. Thanks to the language barrier and the Russian team mates being as much use as a used piece of toilet tissue. I lost my first match, the second was alot less rough, we had a few English and Spanish players but we won in the end thanks to decent communication.

Then it was my third that I decided I would play with friends. I am one match away from being ranked which may be off slightly since some of my friends are MG.. I could still hang with them though which boosted my confidence right up.

I think I have 12+ games played with only 9 wins.. Lol.


Also, when it comes to skins. Ive opened my fair share of cases and I got lucky with my M9 Bayonet Safari Mesh Battle Scarred (£49-50+) but by around that time. I realized how much I had spent and in total, I had more blue skins than anything remotely able to get me my money back. So I just buy each skin separate that catches my eye.
