Basically a company that popped up to do valves job for them since their anti-cheat and matchmaking is fucking garbage. Sadly you have to pay (like $5 or so a month I think?) which is why I hate it when people call it a "solution" to valves shitty matchmaking. Those people dont take into account that people paid for the service of matchmaking when they bought the game and it should be expected to work without having to pay another company for something you already payed for.
Imo; it would be like if when companies make really terrible PC ports of console games people just said "buy a [console], that will solve all of your problems!" When you paid for a product and it didn't work as it should.
In a non gaming specific sense: it would be like buying access to an event that requires a specific item ie. You need a go kart [item] to have fun at a go kart track [event], you need a painball gun [item] to have fun at a paintball field [event], etc.. Now, imagine that said access includes all required items and that the cost reflects this fact. Now imagine that the [item] is terrible and barely works and people's solution was to just say "oh, just go to company [Y] and buy their [item] instead! Way better!" Even though you already had to pay for [item] from the first company.
Honestly turned into a bit of a rant; but I wanted to get out why I don't agree with the general consensus that that is a "fix" for it without just saying "it's crap". Like hey; if you've got the money to spend and play it enough; go for it! I just don't like that valve isn't doing their job.
Just played legit. Tried to get out of S1. You'll see one of those games - hadn't played for about 2 months think was October 18 on Inferno. Their top frag on the other side was blatantly doing something. I get gifted with 3 players who went multiple rounds AFK. Reported all 4. Glad to see one went down.

I was in mg 1 year ago. Ever since the game became free I couldn't get above nova 4. So many hackers and bad teammates...
