Targeted at the analysts:
There's been a few swings between tactical play and loose aggression being the "dominant metagame" throughout the history of CS:GO.
with regards to any one of these transitions, what factors are/were responsible for precipitating these changes?
For example, the M4A1-S nerf - did it change how the game was played significantly? It coincided with the fall of the great lurkers - were CTs playing more aggressively after the nerf because they couldn't just sit back and hold sites with strong rifles? This would explain the lowered effectiveness of the hard lurk legends.
So maybe a point of discussion would be how the butterfly effect of a less viable cheap buy play out into the meta with regards to risk taking, aggression, and overall playstyles?

If you can cut back this question to less than 100 characters you are a god my friend. :)

u/hot_uncle_74 Jun 15 '17
I tried, it's really hard, because the discussion I'm trying to start requires a lot of context.
Separately, "has the metagame changed?" and "what do you think of the <gun> nerf" are dead horses discussed over and over again. Together I think it turns it into something far more interesting.

u/hot_uncle_74 Jun 15 '17 edited Jun 15 '17
i guess a close approximation can be:
The recent UMP nerf has left the gun extremely weak outside of pointblank ranges, and CTs can no longer use it as a reliable and versatile rifle substitute. How will this affect CT positioning and aggression, and how will that, in turn, affect Terrorist doctrine?
However I'm pretty sure some of the analysts, especially the ex-pros, will enjoy discussing the full question during any desk segments or if there is inadvertent dead air that needs filling. Would it be possible to pitch it to them?
again, I'm the crosshair guy from 2 months ago, but I think it was Dark that I had liaison with.

If you were to build a team, which player would be your first pick and why?

u/MarkusDelaCruz Jun 15 '17
I've been a Diehard EnVyUs fan ever since they were the original Major winners LDLC and I have been wondering…would LDLC from Dreamhack Winter beat EnVy from Dreamhack Cluj?

u/CptWetPants Legendary Switzerland Master Jun 15 '17
That's actually a great brain teaser. LDLC back then were the second best team, and EnVyUs during Cluj was probably around the same level. Interestingly enough, they beat fnatic in the Round of 8 both times, in Cluj especially in a dominant fashion.
Damn, that's a hard one. I'd go with LDLC personally, just because they didn't fall of like nV did after their respective wins. Probably would be a great match.

In your opinion, will Chinese/Asian CS be a threat internationally any time soon?

u/8bitremixguy Jun 15 '17
What do any of you think is the best way to get a non-gamer involved in the CS scene, specifically going to the big LAN tournaments?

u/Orengepanda Jun 15 '17 edited Jun 15 '17
do you wish that there were more casual cs event (like cs summit) more often? I think they are a nice break from big theatre lan events. with the presentation of an org like PGL they could be epic, a bit like the 2v2 tournament.

Looking at VP's form do you think they can bring it in the Clash for Cash or will it be a one sided affair? Thanks

u/sleepy_cs Jun 15 '17
What do you think of the banter started by k0nfig?
Who are some new players to look out for?
Do you think a full norwegian lineup would be possible? Since dignitas already has 3/5 norwegians.

How fair is it that Envy had to play at the minor qualifier and now the minor just to make it into the major qualifier, even though 4/5 players played at the last major?
