FACEIT London Major 2018 | Team Pick'Em Discussion Thread | Challengers Stage Posted: 30 Aug 2018 05:24 AM PDT TL;DR: Use this post for sharing/discussing your Challenger Pick'Ems. FACEIT London Major 2018 is the 13th Valve-sponsored Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Major Championship and the second Major of 2018 and as fans, we can participate in the Major HYPE by playing a mini game on the game client itself. The game is called Team Pick'Em. Stickers You will need team stickers to play this game. They can either be the regular stickers, a holo or a foil sticker. You can obtain stickers from the in-game client offers section. This time there is no fantasy Team Game, however you can buy the player signature sticker packs for each team or a foil pack for the different types of teams (legends, challengers etc.). Once you buy the pack and unpack it, a random player signature will be given to your inventory. You can directly buy a particular team's or player's sticker from the steam community market. Alternatively, when you try to make a pick for a team, the game will pop up a buy menu from where you can buy the stickers in game or from the market. Once you apply the sticker, it is locked until the end of the Phase you picked it for, but it is not destroyed once you use it or even if that team didn't make it. The sticker will be available in your inventory to use again for the next Phases of the Major or to apply to a gun later on. 50% of the proceeds from the stickers go to the players and organizations. How to play Team Pick'Em The objective for playing Team Pick'Em is to predict which teams will go through the Challengers Stage, Legends Stage and Champions Stage. By picking correct teams before each phase, you will earn points that add up at the end of games for that phase. This time, there are 3 time slots allotted to make picks, once before the Challengers Stage (Sept 5), once before the Legends Stage (Sept 12), and once before the Champions Stage (Sept 20). You can make these picks in-game by going to the 'Watch' tab and then clicking the '2018 FACEIT London' section - from there you can simply drag your choices into the respective slots. External Websites and Apps to play Team Pick'Em: Valve has opened up an API that helps in creating external tools that help you to make picks in case you do not have access to the game client itself. If you are on a vacation, at work, traveling or at the major itself, now you don't need to open the game to make the choices. Here is an option that has been presented to the subreddit in the past. Website: https://csgopickem.net/ by /u/Lucaber There might be other websites and apps out there as well! Challengers Stage For the challengers stage: pick one of the two undefeated teams (record 3-0) pick one of the two teams that will be eliminated without winning any matches (record 0-3) pick the seven others who advance Correct picks are worth 1 point each in the Challengers Stage, and 3 points in the Legends Stage. Picks are locked when each Stage begins. Some concluding Notes Now that you know how to play these games and how the scoring system works, you can discuss what would be wise choices for these 16 teams! Here is the blog post by Valve regarding the game. There is also an FAQ section at the bottom. Please feel free to discuss your analysis and thoughts in this thread. if you are not sure who to choose, feel free to ask for suggestions here! Another thread will be posted for the Legends stage and Champions stage respectively. Good luck, have fun! submitted by /u/_Xertz [link] [comments]

FACEIT Major opening match-ups revealed Posted: 30 Aug 2018 11:00 AM PDT submitted by /u/X6__ [link] [comments]

Full list of bugs & issues still in the game after Panorama release Posted: 30 Aug 2018 11:48 AM PDT Below you will find a list of issues & bugs with everything from visuals to minor bugs along with some last words and suggestions/feedback for the CS:GO dev team if they happen to stumble upon this. Bugs A compilation of remaining inspect bugs I've noticed in the main menu - https://imgur.com/a/7VVmvM3 A video showcasing rotation inconsistency in the buy menu - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynUXFVjpGxw Camera lock causes your screen to move unintentionally after you close it if you had moved your cursor around while it was locked, this happens in text chat, buy menu, esc menu, graffiti menu & scoreboard. https://youtu.be/Ag73mu8wIUU host_timescale doesn't reset when disconnecting from a server. https://youtu.be/dLe1CTKegfk It's a struggle to pick up weapons on the ground using your 'Use' (E) key to pick up weapons when grenades are lying inside or next to it. You're unable to interact with Music kits the same way you can do with medals while inspecting. https://youtu.be/szwGIjbXoBQ Opening steam overlay with overlay music at 0 will stop the music and start it from the beginning once you exit the overlay instead of pausing and resuming. The names are cut off on MVP screen if they're too long, whereas before they did not. https://imgsli.com/MTYwNQ The text chat is not lined up if you close or open it in Panorama like it used to be before in SFUI. https://imgsli.com/MTYwMw https://imgsli.com/MTYwNA The team equip icon for Graffiti, Music kit & Medals shows only the CT icon in Panorama instead of the generic grey one found in SFUI. https://imgur.com/a/1Qztl66 The location of money while you're in the buy menu should be the same place as it is before you enter. An old one from r/3kliksphilip/ about fire decals and how they do not reset upon joining official MM. - https://youtu.be/DcPZVyu7-Zw Dropped bomb and thrown grenades can block all damage if the bullet hits them. Glass or other breakable objects doesn't slow down grenades if they bounce off a wall before they break it. Grenades can go through interactive doors/entities if hitting near another player model first. Main menu icon inconsistencies - https://imgur.com/a/dDSXngr Map selecting sound issue - https://youtu.be/QTa9Dy0N_bY Vote screen is not cancelled when a pending vote cannot be succeeded. If another player votes 'No' on "Vote to kick" then it should automatically cancel the vote, rather than having to wait for everybody else to finish choosing. (Same goes for tactical timeout, scramble teams, etc. When enough players votes 'No') The animations are misaligned when showing/hiding your wingman rank - https://youtu.be/qTNOvjBa8o8 Weapons can be picked up through walls. Shadow daggers have an odd inspect panning https://youtu.be/coViEDdygBU Leftover guns you can see through in panorama inspection https://imgur.com/a/9yNT2OO Visual Arms clipping through jacket on some models in first person. Hands bend in unnatural ways with certain knives. Weapons will flick at end of inspect animation if you hit your reload button while you were inspecting it. Negev still has a bugged draw animation when it does not have any reserve ammo left. https://youtu.be/90TZLjz69qc (Thanks to /u/Telsaah for this discovery) Suggestions A way to disable the blinking red light around the radar once the bomb has been planted would be a great addition to the game. https://youtu.be/W_iiS-4wvN0 The right sidebar that shows your profile, friends, skill group, etc. feels a bit too responsive, it should be fine-tuned a bit so it doesn't activate as soon as you touch the very edge. https://youtu.be/L3wEB1BIjFs The radar names, radar and economy should be further up towards the screen, like it used to be before. https://imgsli.com/MTYwMQ https://imgsli.com/MTYwMg Hud, radar, radar names, etc. are all visible while you're in the buy menu, whereas previously it was not visible and looked a lot cleaner. https://imgsli.com/MTYxMQ Feedback: Some general feedback, issues and possible improvements I've compiled into an album - https://imgur.com/a/c26p4FF Missing GUI features: Do note that not all of the images in the album are relevant today as they have been addressed https://imgur.com/a/oo5uXSo Mirage: I had high hopes from the last Mirage update to include some fixes that the map in general needed. However, I still have hope they'll consider doing a dedicated update to overhaul & fix all of the remaining jolt spots, bomb stuck spots & misaligned clipping that are present on the current version of the map as I personally believe that's strongly what the map needs the most right now after the minor "rework" that happened a few months back. https://imgur.com/a/jld9CPH https://imgur.com/a/R0JMuhy A video showcasing some of the differences clipping could do to help make the map even better than it already is; https://youtu.be/mqOq4REKYXY With all this said, I however applaud the CS:GO devs for their constant support for the game ever since its original release and can't wait to see what they have in store for us next! submitted by /u/bonna_97 [link] [comments]
