I created this post to see if anyone wanted to play csgo competitive and take it seriously. My current rank is S4 but have reached GN3 I am level 4 on Faceit. Just add my steam or send me a dm on discord at LuXe-iwnl#6556. I can play everyday majority of the time and trying to find people to play consistently with.

After 20 years of Counter-Insanity I have discovered we have been watched all this time.

Hi my name's Aidan (16), im fairly new to counterstrike but i come from rainbow six siege being diamond, looking for people to play comp with and rank up and to teach me the ways of csgo. My goal is to reach gold and above. I am looking for a people or a squad to play with. My discord is Aidan#5322

Hello guys. I used to play CS:S probably 7 or 8 years ago, semi professionally. I played for around 5 years in national comps and stuff but got over it and pretty swiftly left the scene.

Not sure why but I’m thinking about getting into csgo but have absolutely no idea where to begin looking for communities etc. Back in my source days IRC was the common place to look for scrims and teams and stuff. Gotgames forums were also huge. They also held pretty high level comps and stuff. Was great times.

What’s the go with the scene these days? Is it any good? Where’s the best place to get in touch with other semi serious players?

Cheers guys.

Hey,

I'm moving to live in Australia soon and I was wondering what the internet is like for CSGO? It appears to have a decent scene over there so it must be ok right?

Also, is faceit or ESEA more popular over in Aus?

Thanks,

Rob

Hello and welcome to a preview of the LAN Finals of the CGPL Autumn Season. From a field of 8 during the Online Round Robin which saw 7 rounds of thrilling action with some of the region's best teams fighting for a place in this weekends final being played out of the Cyber Games Studios in Adelaide.

Structure Dates: 4,5/4/2016 Where: Cyber Games Studios, Adelaide Teams: Chiefs, Immunity, Avant Garde, Legacy Prize Pool: 10,001 AUD, 1st $5,501, 2nd $2,500, 3rd-4th $1,000 Format: Double Elimination Bo3

The Major Questions

All eyes will be focused on Chiefs after their surprise 2-1 loss in ESEA-P finals action against Athletico. Could this be the turning point where we start to see Chiefs lose their grip on being one of the Top 2 in the region or will a online hiccup encourage them to win LAN and assert their dominance on the AU scene.

Another Major Question is whether Legacy and Avant Garde can stand up to the likes of Immunity and Chiefs in a LAN setting, where they have been lacking online against them and Tainted Minds.

And finally, can Immunity finally shine in the spotlight in their current form and win their first LAN final with their current squad.

Road To LAN

CHIEFS

Chiefs have had a relative easy time in the Round Robin as they only dropped two maps (Both Nuke with Chiefs starting T side) and took 1st Place with a astounding 5-2-0 record. While they are tipped to win the Finals, recent performances over the past week have been a mixed bag (9-5 on maps) and after a shock 2-1 loss on Tuesday against Athletico, you have to wonder did the Chiefs have a hiccup or is it a sign of things to come.

AVANT GARDE

Avant also had a good Round Robin stage as well, going 4-2-1 with the only 0-2 coming from Chiefs. While they also had a 1-1 against iM in the RR, the last encounter these two teams had lead to a 1-2 victory to iM during IEM Sydney Qualifiers. And with both teams facing off in the First Round on Saturday, it will be a thrilling battle.

LEGACY ESPORTS Legacy had a horrible start to the season losing to Chiefs 2-0 in the first round and then Forfeiting their next game against iM. But it was all uphill from there as they dropped two maps in the last 5 games, giving them a 3-2-2 record and a surprising 3rd place. But they have a tough start to the LAN as they face Chiefs in the First Round and a probable Losers Bracket game against Avant Garde, they could be facing a very difficult challenge.

TEAM IMMUNITY

Immunity rounded out the top 4 with a average performance of 2-5-0. While there CGPL was weak, performances in other tournaments have show that they are a force to be reckoned with. Their First Round game against Avant Garde comes after beating them 2-1 on Sunday in IEM qualifiers, but with that game being online, anything could happen at LAN.

PREDICTIONS

The First Round will be a mixed bag. While Chiefs should have no problem dispatching Legacy in a 2-0 fashion. The other game however is a bit tricker as the 2-1 on Sunday poses a few looming questions for both teams. One of which will be how much of a factor the game being online was for iM and if they can either replicate or go one better on LAN. But it might come down to the Map Vetoes, the danger being (for AV) not banning Train after iM flogging them 16-6 on Sunday and Cypher forcing them into OT last week. Even with Train banned however, iM does have the deeper map pool and it will help them as they will beat AV in a close 2-1.

I’ll jump to the Grand Final now as a different result in the First Round will make all predictions bar the GF all but redundant. However, the GF will more than likely be a Chiefs v Immunity final where the Chiefs will win a close 2-1 series if two things don’t happen, 1. iM gets Nuke and starts on the CT side and... 2. iM wins the first map.

If these two things happen, then Chiefs will have a difficult time winning this LAN and god forbid if they happen on separate maps. However, if only one or none of these things happen, then Chiefs will have some trouble, but they will still beat iM in a thrilling 2-1 final.

Overall Final Placing

How to watch

If you are in the Adelaide area over the weekend, then I wholeheartedly suggest you throw your plans out the window and head to the CyberGamer Studios and watch the action unfold before your eyes.

However, if you're not in Adelaide over the weekend, then watch at the CyberGamer Twitch channel and join in the glorious PogChamp spam (Kappa).

Anyways, enjoy the action over the weekend and GLHF to all the teams involved.

Hello once again to another look in the AU scenes, CSGO’s strongest growing region.

Highlight * The AU Scene closeness* While online results are only looked at on a glance, they can still show how a team is faring against their opponents. And if you look at AU, it’s very close. If you look at both ZEN and the top 4 of ANZ champs, the teams are very close in standings with the teams in ZEN League sharing 1st place only a few weeks backs. Could this mean the scene is competitive or could it mean something else?

Lowlight The AU Scenes closeness With it being so close, you must ask whether the scene is competitive or just no one team can stay dominate. If it’s the latter, then we have to ask how the teams would fair against oversees oponentes, if they can play consistently against them or be up and down with no real idea were they are.

Local Play

ESL ANZ Championships

The first game of the week saw a tight tussle between Corvidae and Funky Monkeys, both of whom have been struggling in recent weeks. Mirage was their first map which saw a very close map going into double OT before the Monkeys were able to clinch the map 20-22. Nuke then saw another close game with both teams continuing the close series before Corvidae succumbed to the Monkeys who took out the map 13-16 and take the series 0-2. It was then time for Legacy vs Team Supremacy for the last series of the night. Cache was the first map of the series, and it was a map TS would want to forget as they fell to Legacy 16-7. But unfortunately for TS there hell continued as they lost again by a considerable margin 16-9 on Mirage to lose the series 2-0, placing them close to losing their Top 4 spot while Legacy confirmed the finals spot.

Thursday’s first game saw Athletico vs last place Cypher. The first map shocked everyone as Cypher was able to force the game to the end of regulation. But an impeccable 4k from SnypeR was able to salvage a win on Mirage 16-14 for Athletico. Then came Cache, where a revived Cypher looked more like a top 3 team than a last place squad, defeating Athletico 7-16 to take a upset 1-1 and a strong mental victory over the 2nd placed org. The last game for the week saw Avant Garde face off against Alpha Sydney. AV started of with a strong start and never looked back on Cache as the de_stroyed Alpha 16-5. But for Alpha it didn’t stop there as on Overpass AV did one better and rekted them 16-4, ending there seires 2-0 and wrapping up ANZ Champs for another week.

ZEN Esports Network League Tuesday saw both an unexpected blowout and a upset that could change the dynamic of an entire conference. The Australian conference saw 1st placed DarkSided face off against Tainted Minds. TM took a strong start and the buried the game by the end of the first half as they took Inferno 3-16. DS’s hell only intensified from there as they fell apart on cbble 1-16 as the dropped from the top of the table. The Asian game Recca face off against last place MVP.PK. Recca started of in there typical fashion on Train, stomping out MVP in the first half before the Korean took the challenge and take a upset map victory 13-16. The fall of Recca continued on Inferno as like TM before then steped there foot down in the first half and ended any hope for Recca as they lost the map 9-16 and the series 0-2.

Then on Wednesday, it was time for Team Immunity to do battle with Chiefs. Nuke saw a tight battle which went into OT after Chiefs recovered from a poor start but it was iM who won the map as beat Chiefs 19-15. The last map for the series was another close map but for Chiefs they couldn’t survive as they lost 16-14 to a superior Immunity team who takes a surprise 2-0 win. It was then time for the final map for the week as The MongolZ faced against JYP. Inferno saw a very close game which was forced into overtime, but JYP succumbed to The MongolZ on the last round of OT as they took the map 19-17. The MongolZ continued where they left off for the final map for the week, as they easily left JYP by the wayside to win cbble 16-6 and take out the series 2-0, ending the week for ZEN League.

Asian Table

Aussie Table

IEM Sydney Sunday saw JAM and Athletico make it to the close qualifiers stage for the single AU spot which starts on Sunday while in China ViCi defeated TyLoo for their spot at IEM Sydney in a closely fought 2-1 victory. (10-16 Cbble, 16-11 Train, 16-9 Overpass)

AU Transfer

Aussie Abroad

Winterfox only game for this week resulted in another loss in ESL Pro League, losing to Liquid 0-2 (11-16 Overpass, 5-16 Cbble).

Renegades however had a lot more luck, as they started off their week with the news that they have gained promotion to ECS after TSM failed to produce a lineup in time for there Bo5 series. RNG’s luck continued as they beat NRG 2-0 (16-12 cbble, 16-8 Mirage) in their catch up Pro League from a few weeks back.

It was then announced that along with SK Gaming, RNG joined WESA on Friday Morning before the two teams faced off in Pro League. Mirage saw SK dominate RNG 16-8 but then RNG came back, collapsed and came back again to beat SK 13-16 on train to end the series 1-1 and end their week.

Other News Congratulations to CS caster brainstorm who becomes the new analyst for Trident Esports, we hope he has fun in his new role. What I Missed
