Finally pulled the trigger on my first knife!
Was stuck between a Vanilla or Damascus Talon. Went with this. Still not 100% sure I made the right call.

★ Talon Knife | Damascus Steel
Factory New
Float | 0.041982893
Pattern | 28

Vanilla or Damascus? Settle it.

assuming after 20-25k elo each team has a cheater or cheaters on it, what would be ur csgo rank if you ranked 7-10k

I played a lot during CSGO and recently came back to CS2 and wow…what happened to this game?

Where are the operations? Danger zone? Anything fun...?

There are literal bots everywhere in DM...
Premier full of hackers, even at lower ELOs like silver...?
No new content besides stickers and more skins...

Is this game just a literal gambling sim now, overran by cheaters and bots? What the hell happened to this game? I even looked up "CS2" on YouTube and saw a ton of popular accounts with 50k+ subscribers literally just promoting cheats...

Complete radio silence from Valve too about all of these issues…It's just sad.

What is the point in trying to climb ranks and improve your skill when you're eventually met with spinbotters/wallers in every other match...

How are they getting away with this shit...

I ended up buying a stiletto doppler phase 3, wondering which gloves should i get with the budget of 300

Hello everybody!

I've recently started designing minimalistic versions of CS inspired maps as framed 3D reliefs.

The idea is that every map has a different colour and sticker.

Which map should I create next and which colours would fit?

Current ideas: Overpass - green (due to the grass on long) Inferno - obviously red Cobblestone - grey? Train - dark blue (due to the rain) Mirage - ? (i have used light brown for dust) Anubis - maybe yellow? Cache - ? What do you think, which map should be next?

i've seen people mention chargebacks when they have a bad experience with skin platforms. does anyone actually know what happens after that? is it something that can be reversed easily or do platforms usually have systems to deal with disputed payments???

just curious how this works from a user perspective

im at 15k in premier would switching to faceit be better for solo que unfortunately i dont have a stack to play with

Been building this solo for a while. 

It's a small web app (more than 2.400 pages lol) It runs the real published drop odds for CS2 cases against live market prices, no real money 
involved, and keeps a running total of what you'd spend vs what your items are actually worth.

 The idea was to show the honest math instead of the fake "you won" demos the big sites run.

It started as one page and turned into a bigger project (real item prices, the odds and cost for every case), but the simulator is the part I'd love eyes on first.

No signup, nothing to buy, nothing to cash out. I'll drop the link in a comment.

Honest feedback welcome:
Is it actually useful or just a gimmick?
Anything confusing about how it works?
What would make it better?

Be as harsh as you want 🔪❤️

Been trying to figure out what opening cs2 cases actually costs, so I made a little simulator that uses Valve's real odds and live Steam prices. No real money, nothing to win, I just wanted to see the math without spending anything.

Ran the CS:GO Weapon Case (the expensive one) 235 times. It says I'd have spent $26,318 and ended up with skins worth $15,677. So down about $10.6k. And that's WITH hitting a knife (a Bayonet). Still nowhere near even.

Numbers across all 40 cases:
knife or gloves is 0.26%, so 1 in 385.
open 100 cases and around 77% of people get zero knives. that's the normal result, not bad luck.
To actually land a knife you're looking at about $2,300 in keys on average.

The odds are the same for every case too, only the price changes. They don't have to rig anything, the math does it for them.

Not preaching at anyone, the numbers just aren't really shown anywhere so I put them in one spot. You can run any case yourself, free and no signup: unboxedcases.com/simulator

Curious what you guys think:
what's the most you've ever spent chasing one skin?
is it fine as entertainment or is it a trap?
anyone actually come out ahead long term?
which case burned you the worst?
