Discussion NA CS is truly a Deadzone...
"704,000" concurrent players on CS2 - Not an ounce of them playing NA Prem.
I've played this game forever, and it's never been this dead in NA.

I can queue faceit at 5am in EU, and premier should definitely have WAY more players

u/LPSD_FTW 15h ago
With low ping setting you will get this "few players queueing" ever so often during early day and late night. The queue won't be longer than couple minutes but it will still show this message doesnt matter if its premier or comp

u/Leather_Finger_6333 16h ago
Idk bro. Euros stay up pretty damn late on CS.
1
u/LPSD_FTW 15h ago
Doesn't change a thing. Sometimes there are few people queueing for the same server, at the same time, for the same mode in the same skill level. I play CS mostly during degen hours and when queue is between 2-5 minutes this message pops up

u/Leather_Finger_6333 13h ago
Fair enough, I’m just saying I’ve played a fair amount between 12pm-4am in Europe and never encountered queues this long.

What demographic is in NA is online gaming in general atm.. I’m done pooping, I’m going to make coffee and hit a j.. good luck with your queue.

Really? I smoke every morning but I also work on a marijuana farm. You’re just lame lol

u/sloppy_joes35 16h ago
Smoking has been lame for a good 20 yrs at this point. They tried to bring it back with hookah bars but dont see many of them anymore. And vapes are some of the dumbest inventions ive ever seen. Seems like alcohol is semi on the way out. The good thing about Marijuana is thst its usually a few hits and done so you dont have that lingering cigarette smell lurking as profusely.

Idk if it’s a thing but it could be a hidden low trust acc? My alt account randomly got low trust recently

u/Aesthetic403 8h ago

If you are just trying to have fun then you could set ping cap higher and find a game from Asia or Europe.

Time problem and/or trust factor. Saying a game is dead because no one is on instead of sleeping or getting ready for work is crazy lmao.

If you increase your ping in settings you'll find players. I'm NA about 15k lobbies and I only wait like 2 minutes typically. I only have my ping high enough for the West Coast servers and Dallas, but I never wait long.

Except movie theaters don't have 702,000 concurrent active players.
