CS:GO Pro-Games

[MetalLobster]

I recently bumped into a channel called TheWarOwl and after watching his shoutcast of a few games, I'm hooked. If you've played 5v5s before in CS, you know how intense the game can get and I can feel that intensity watching these guys play. It's definitely a nice change to playing 32 man pubs and death match and I can enjoy a sandwich and beer.

Really close game.

TheWarOwl also does tutorials!

I saw his channel, I like his overview of NIP and VeryGames.

I find that any game with NiP is exciting. The series with Anexis and NiP is my favourite so far.

Those are some thriller matches nf
I'm glad you found out about competetive CS:GO, actually this is what made/makes the Counter-Strike series so popular, that game is built for Pugs/wars/scrims/gathers, calll it how you want :P

 

[MetalLobster]

Yeah, competitive CS is great. I used to watch a bit of 1.6 but didn't find it interesting at the time because I was also watching SC:BW and SC2 . I'm definitely going to try to watch some CS:GO live events once I finish my semester.

Yeah! He reminds me of Day[9] from SC2, but more focused on the game. Also, owl/nade vision!

I've haven't played much of either games because I found it more exciting to watch. Too bad there are no more pro BW matches =(

Is it wrong that the first thing coming to mind is the 3-0 bunker rush?

 

[archoNNN]

lol the scv, marine, and bunker push or the 3 firebats medic combo rush

The proxy bunker with marines. I thought it was ridiculous when I saw it. Sadly, you can do some shenanigans like that easier in SC2 and happens quite a bit on bnet. Last I played, most of my games were 1 base timings and I scout late or get unlucky, I lost.
