Counter Strike

New tournament rules & requirements

If you go into your match history or any counterstrike community you will see lots and lots of banned CS2 players. It seems the latest ban wave has some sort of mistake and lots of innocent players are involved. I am personally not banned but a few of my friends who were definitely not cheating were banned....

This video draws a comparison on how the toxicity in CS2 is related to Premier mode and the suppression of alternative, non-competitive game modes.

3kliksphilip (with help from Nvidia) dives into latency testing both in CS2 specifically and in games more generally.

TL, DR:...

Counter-Strike 2 will give players a rank for each individual map. Players will also receive a single rank based on the Premiere mode (pick-and-ban maps for each match).

According to Aquaismissing’s comb through the update, valve are rethinking the competitive and Premier modes. Here’s the tweet text if you can’t see it:...
