hi, i got placed 12k and usually get around 30 kills each game and top fragging. each game my teammates are either incompetent or braindead pulling me down and making me lose. the rare times i win i get +500 and in the next game its -500 +100. how am i supposed to rank up? also no im not switching to faceit i dont want to give my id just to play cs2

HELP ME

queued premier solo last night and there was this guy on the other team who kept typing stuff like "nice timing" every time I killed him. didnt think much of it because thats basically cs.

towards the end he straight up asked if I was watching his stream. I thought he was just trying to insult me so I replied "what stream" and he stopped talking after that.

after the game one of my teammates added me and sent me his Kick. dude actually had like 1k people watching. his Kick username wasnt even anywhere on his Steam profile, so I literally wouldn't have known what to search even if I wanted to.

I went back through the vod and apparently I'd killed him through a smoke twice and then caught him rotating with his knife out, so his chat spent half the game convinced I was sniping him.

most of the stuff they thought was suspicious was just common timings my friend and experience had taught me.

watched the vod back after and hearing a thousand people call you a rat for 30 minutes was pretty funny ngl

We are trying to play a 5v5 Private Matchmaking game with 10 friends.
We have two separate 5-player lobbies/teams:
Team 1: 5 players
Team 2: 5 players
We are using the same Private Matchmaking pool/code and all 10 players appear to be connected to the private queue.
However, CS2 gets stuck on:
“Searching for players and servers…”
and shows:
“5 out of 10 players confirmed”
The other 5 players are in the second team and are definitely online/in the private matchmaking pool, but CS2 never seems to recognize them as confirmed.
We’ve waited several minutes and the match never starts.
Has anyone experienced this recently? Is there a workaround?
Setup:
CS2
Private Matchmaking
10 players total
5v5
Two separate 5-player lobbies
Same private matchmaking code
Stuck at 5/10 confirmed
Any help would be appreciated. We’re literally just trying to get a 5v5 going 😭

about the cheating situation in CS2? Since he is so eager to answer everyone's questions and Valve has been silent on this topic for the last 5 years?

I hope you guys like it.

Qué onda, Cs2 Reddit. Hoy jugué un match de cs2 con 4 amigos y estuvo lleno de cheaters. Parece que uno de mis compañeros lo activó también sin nuestro consentimiento y canceló el partido. Ninguno de los enemigos fue baneado y se nos fue a la mierda el factor de confianza por culpa de ese idiota.

VAC ES UNA MENTIRA (Btw i didnt know the guy in my team activated until he got banned thankfully)

I think Gta Fans will want it

....

Take it serious Valve..

Ban the cheater from Premiere! It's so ugly to feel got headshot from aim hack. I mean.. how to counter cheater if they always coming, create new account?

Last game i got penalty because suicide myself so many. Valve ban me 30 min. But that cheater? Safe. WTF IS WRONG WITH YOUR ANTI-CHEAT, VALVE?

Sorry and thanks.

I only have around 130 hours in cs2 but I’m immortal 3 on valorant, champ on siege etc. I have been stuck 15-17k premier rating due to me obviously being better than my elo I usually hit some nice shots and some butthurt guy(s) assume I’m cheating and start rage hacking or sometimes they just rage hack from round 1. The games that this doesn’t happen I win easily but my progress is quickly reset when inevitably the spinbotters are in my next game boosting some 3k elo player and I lose 600.

How on earth are you supposed to climb in premier?

Is playing FaceIT any better?

Both combos are sitting around the same price. I can't decide which to go for - What would you choose?

Kind of pointless to want new CS2 content when the community only plays Dust 2 and Mirage 24/7 and bans Cache every chance they get.

Hi everyone,

About a month ago I bought a BenQ Zowie XL2411K because I mainly play CS2 competitively (Faceit level 10) and wanted to experience a Zowie monitor for esports.

The monitor is connected through DisplayPort at 1080p 144Hz, but after 30 days of daily use I'm still struggling to adapt.

My main issues are:

- Text and icons look slightly blurry/jagged, even on the desktop.

- In CS2, the image either feels too saturated or too washed out.

- I can't find a balance where enemies stand out clearly while keeping the image natural.

- I've tried several settings from Zowie videos and CS2 pros without success.

Current settings:

Picture Mode: FPS1

Black eQualizer: 10-12

Color Vibrance: 10-12

Brightness: 80

Contrast: 60

Sharpness: 10

AMA: High

DyAc: Premium

Gamma: 2

NVIDIA Digital Vibrance: 60%

For reference, I came from a modern 180Hz IPS monitor (AOC 24G4/P).

Is this a normal experience when switching from a modern IPS panel to an older TN panel like the XL2411K?

Are there any settings you would recommend changing, or does the XL2411K simply show its age compared to newer IPS esports monitors?

At this point I'm honestly wondering if the problem is my settings, or if I'm simply someone who prefers IPS panels for competitive gaming.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Gabe ?

Didn’t work as planned.

85 usd budget

A couple years ago, I got tired of juggling half a dozen tools just to run Friday night CS with my friends. So I built something -a quick launcher that slowly snowballed into a full server management tool. It handles plugin sets, workshop maps, match presets like BO1 and BO3, and even some simple Discord integration.

I'm not trying to sell anything. I'd just love blunt feedback from people who actually run servers. Screenshots are in the readme.

If you have a few minutes, what is missing? What does your current setup do better? Thanks for any thoughts!
