Underrated CSGO Weapons in Pro Scene

Underrated CSGO Weapons in Pro Scene

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive’s blueprint is quite refined as compared to other first-person shooter games. Valve’s iconic production CSGO has many modes that make the game enjoyable, but the competitive experience is only fun for the versed who know how the economy works. 

Weapons in a competitive match can make or break the game. Spend your cash on one wrong weapon, and you might take your entire team down with you. Guns and utility can cost a lot; it’s essential to make smart decisions in 15 seconds.

Professionals widely used AWP, M4a4, AK47 from 2019 to 2020 with a pick rate of 13%, 17.95%, and 32.29%, respectively. However, the extensive load-out of CSGO might have some hidden gems waiting to be unearthed. 

The forgotten pistols of CSGO

  • Counter strike professionals prefer their USP-S on first rounds, but stats show that P2000 might help players bag more kills. With an accuracy range of 24m and a greater ammo capacity, P2000 can turn out to be a lethal weapon in long and mid-range fights. 
Properties of P2000
  • Dual Berettas are a pair of pistols that are heavily underrated when it comes to competitive play. Despite having an affordable price tag of $400, the firearms remain to be under picked by the pros.

PP-Bizon could help save some cash

Infamous P90 is the ideal pick on force buys. It is cheap, effective, and practical to rush in or defend a site. However, with a hefty price of $2350, P90 becomes less suitable for a broken team. 

With a fire rate of a whopping 750 RPM, PP Bizon comes at a low price of $1400. The sub-machine gun is maneuverable and has fairly manageable recoil. Despite the affordable price range and a decent fire rate, Bizon remains to be one of the least picked CSGO weapons by the professionals at a pick rate of less than 2%. 

Properties of PP-Bizon

XM1014 is the ultimate underdog

Shotguns have been unofficially voted out of CSGO meta. Highly undervalued guns hardly make it to the kit of any professional player. XM1014 stands out from the rest with its automatic firing mode and high kill reward of $900.

XM1014 is easily one of the best shotguns available for $2000. Ideal for Counter terrorists, the gun can prove to be deadly when used at the right chokepoints and close fights. High armor penetration rate makes it an ideal pick for forced buy rounds when the team may want to weaken the opponent’s economy by dropping down weapons.

Properties of XM1014

Galil might have overshadowed Negev’s prowess

The Negev is one of the most under-picked CSGO weapons by the professionals despite its moderate price. For $1700, Negev can do lethal damage to enemies in close range. The gun offers a significant ammo capacity of 300, allowing players to spray down several enemies in one go. It can be a suitable buy on the second round for terrorists if the team plans to push and take site control.

CSGO update patch notes for today [OCT 15]

Valve has shipped out an update for their competitive shooter Counter-Strike: Global Offensive today, and it introduced a number of small changes to the game.

While nothing major was implemented in the October 15th update, some features of the game like ‘Text Filtering’ or demo playback was improved.

For starters, the ‘Text Filtering’ setting will make use of Steam Text and Chat filtering from now on, which is an improvement over the past system which was dedicated to the game.

Another change that is quite significant is the demo playback change. A new setting “demo_index” has been added to CSGO which will improve the performance of playback of demos while using the forward and rewinding functionalities. Previously, rewinding the demos would often cause the demo to stutter, or even freeze on lower spec computers, which shouldn’t be a problem anymore.

Other than that, an option for using uber shaders has been added to replace the launch option ‘-noubershaders’. By default, it’s set on for everyone except Intel users.

Here are the full patch notes of today’s update as mentioned in the blog post by Valve:

[TEXT FILTERING]
– Text Filtering now makes use of Steam Text & Chat Filtering.

[DEMO PLAYBACK]
– Added a new setting “demo_index” — when enabled, playback of demo files will create full frame baselines to improve performance of seeking forward and rewinding within demo files.

[VIDEO OPTIONS]
– Adding an option for using uber shaders which replaces the launch option -noubershader. This setting is defaulted off for users on Intel and on for everyone else.
– Miscellaneous fixes

Valve looking to implement ‘Overwatch’ system like CSGO to Dota 2

Through a blog post on October 15th, Valve has shared their plans about the future of Dota 2 to the fans following repeated complaints against their poor communication with the community.

Yesterday’s update also introduced a number of changes to Dota Plus and the Guilds’ system, including a new treasure and a revamped way to earn shards. The new treasure features cosmetic sets for Nyx Assassin, Leshrac, Medusa, Vengeful Spirit, Weaver, Clockwerk, Faceless Void, Doom, Sven, Axe, Crystal Maiden, and Tusk.

It also re-introduces Ethereal and Prismatic gems, with the very rare Blazing Hatchling courier being pre-equipped with a random one of each gem. While describing Valve’s future plans for the MOBA, the blog stated that the company was in works to produce a new ‘Overwatch style system’ for Dota 2.

The Overwatch system is set to be similar to that of CSGO, and it seems like it will aim to curb the ‘toxicity’ and ‘game ruining behaviors’ of players rather than checking the cheater count like CSGO.

Players have been asking for an Overwatch system for Dota 2 for quite a while now, and it seems like Valve has finally decided to listen to its fans. While no specific date is mentioned by Valve on when will this new system be implemented in the game, Valve has mentioned that they’ll release further details once they’re ready.

“In terms of toxicity and game ruining behaviors from players, we are working on a new Overwatch style system, similar in some ways to that of CS:GO,” the blog said. “We aren’t ready to share more information about this yet, but we will as soon as we are able. We are hoping to get this in the game as soon as possible.”

Sinatraa gets temporarily blind after eye injury while working out

Sentinels star Jay ‘Sinatraa’ Jon revealed through a tweet dated October 15th that he had seriously injured his right eye with a resistance band while working out. Luckily, he’s expected to fully recover from the injury.

The injury resulted in him being left temporarily blind for three hours. “Hit my right eye rly hard with a resistance band and had to go to the ER because I went fully blind for like 3 hrs,” the 20-year-old said. “Got lucky and only a lot of scratches, bruising/blood on my retina and they said I would most likely recover in a week or 2 so no streams boys.”

He further elaborated that the resistance band which weighed 50 pounds slipped from his feet and shot up when trying to curl it.

While eye injuries can prove to be disastrous for any professional gamer, it seems like luck was on the side of Sinatraa this time as he is expected to fully recover from the injury in only a couple of weeks.

Sentinels’ fans will certainly be looking forward to seeing Sinatraa back in competitive play after his recovery.

While Sinatraa has proven his proficiency at Valorant countless times in front of the world, he was also a celebrated Overwatch pro and the winner of Overwatch League 2019 along with his team San Francisco Shock. He was also crowned as the Overwatch League MVP at the time.
