PSA for any fellow Linux CS players out there: the June 20 update to CSGO made the game crash on every launch for me until I disabled the Steam overlay. Not sure exactly what the cause was, but I suspect something with CSGO doesn't play nice with the redesigned Steam overlay.

Falcons have announced the signing of a Laurențiu "⁠lauNX⁠" Țârlea, Miłosz "⁠mhL⁠" Knasiak, and Mohammad "⁠BOROS⁠" Malhas to start a new European chapter for the organization.

How do you think surf will transition from CS:GO to CS2? Smoother movement? Better looking maps? I know the hardcore surfers still play on CSS, so wonder if it'll impact that as well.

Hey mods, with the subreddit back up, will you be here too or is this place now abandoned? Since I'd love to contribute to the discussions here if possible but I see zero mentions of this place in the reopening post

The North American squad is on the verge of adding another European to the roster.

Article:
According to sources close to the situation, Shahar "flameZ" Shushan is in the final stage of negotiations with Team Vitality. Previously we reported that flameZ has been exploring his options as his contract with OG expired.

If nothing abruptly changes, Shushan will soon join the French organization for the upcoming Counter-Strike season. According to our information, flameZ will replace Peter "dupreeh" Rasmussen in the roster.

In the past CS:GO season Vitality showed a tremendous performance. The French powerhouse managed to grab a victory at home ground, winning the last CS:GO Major, BLAST.tv Paris Major. Also, they won IEM Rio 2023 and took the second place at BLAST Premier Spring Finals.

Currently Vitality are #1 ranked team in the world both in ESL and HLTV ratings.

Has anyone had luck creating a quick switch bind in CS2? It's been a real struggle adapting to AWP play without quick switching

The 17-year-old academy graduate looks to be out of the team as the organization ponders a switch in direction.

After a disappointing first half of the season, Evil Geniuses is considering a number of changes to its roster. As a result, they are in talks with Audric "JACKZ" Jug.

What do you think it will be? Knife/glove tier rarity? Or thrown into the regular skin pool?

Im thinking it will end up in the knife/glove tier, which would be strange.
I have gloves and knives and see/use them every game. I so rarely use a Zeus that I wouldnt be paying top dollar for one.

A Zeus case is an interesting idea though.

An old, half-finished Dust2 prototype, presumably based on early Source 2, was made about 10 years ago. How does that concept version of Dust2 stack up to the one we finally got?

André "drop" Abreu is purportedly on the chopping block as the Brazilians look to revamp their roster after a lackluster spring season.

As you have probably noticed, r/GlobalOffensive is still private in protest, due to Reddit's recent API changes, which you can read more about in the link:

https://mashable.com/article/reddit-blackout-ceo-downplays-api-protest

Due to the lack of meaningful change, we will remain private for the time being. We will re-evaluate our stance on the 19th of June and will keep you updated in the relevant channels, as we go along with this extension.

If you wish to continue discussing CS in general you can join the Discord discord.gg/cs-2 or stay here on kbin.

The Swedish captain returns to competition after taking a break in January.

Frankly, Even I hate nonsense Reddit API updates that have almost put third-party apps out of business. I'm more than happy with the two-day blackout as a mark of protest. But sealing off our subreddit forever? That's ridiculous! We're a community of just over a million. There several of us back online, yet we arent.

The mods are on some power trip, making decisions without consulting us subscribers. How about a vote? Let us have a say in this! It's an absolute mockery!

I use Reddit to unwind after a hard day's work, and this subreddit was my favorite. But remember, if you don't value us, someone else will.

Wake up from your delusion! For heaven's sake, do right by your subscribers and bring the subreddit back online!

Edit: @mods, you are yet to answer why there's no vote if you really want to Jeopardize this subreddit for a cause. A fair vote should be there if we made this subreddit into what it is today. Be kind and open.

Edit 2: Still no answer from mods. Why wasn't there a vote? I hope you don't consider yourself to be the flag bearer. Downvote me all you want but there's already a subreddit easily eating up your audience.

Edit 3: Yet no answer from mods. Why there was no vote? Are you guys flagbearers of the community?
