This map gets me so nostalgic

I spent my teens in the mid 00's playing this constantly, so I wanted to celebrate it in my art style

MS Paint is my usual tool, and feels suitable 00s enough, while adding a touch of silliness - quite characterful of the way I played and servers I was on. We were always talking about memes, blasting dance music, giving each other console powers and messing around.

cs_office in Counter Strike: Source was almost a second home.

I do other MS Paint art, usually medieval inspired here: https://www.instagram.com/picturesidrawn/

FaZe = down :(

as expected, people on this reddit was saying other day that won’t happen oh it’s niko historic good map bla bla bla, it’s a puggy map etc etc… but u forgot one thing that’s is, cache is a new map even for zywoo he has 2 official vs top20 let alone falcons stars and the biggest arg is that they won’t throw away inferno with all those experience on that map.

one things give away the fact that they won’t play this map it’s kyousuke and monesy match history they are not playing cache, teses did once just for fun. vita can’t ban cache cuz spirit and falcons are 10x better than them on ancient same for spirit they can’t ban cache cuz inferno is still here. despite falcons having a strong awp-rifle combo they permaban overpass too which is absurd so ofc they won’t play cache.

Hey everyone,

I've been watching some YouTube channels that upload FACEIT POV demos of pro players, and I've noticed a couple of things that are driving me crazy because I can't figure out how they do it.

Here is what I noticed:

• Voice Chat & Muted Players: They somehow show exactly who is talking in the voice chat overlay. Even crazier, they are able to hear players who have been globally muted by the game for receiving too many reports (I know this auto-mute feature is relatively recent, but how do they capture their voices in demos?).
• No Spectator UI: One of these channels doesn't even look like it's using the standard spectator mode. The player's name isn't displayed in the bottom center of the screen, making it look exactly like a live, local screen record rather than a downloaded demo.

So, I have a few questions for anyone familiar with CS2 demo viewing/recording:

• How do they get the voice chat UI to show who is speaking?
• How are they able to listen to globally muted players?
• How do they record the demo so it looks like a true local POV without the typical GOTV/spectator HUD elements?

The only hypothesis I could come up with is that they are injecting custom DLLs into CS2 to tweak the demo viewer, but that seems highly unlikely and a bit risky. Am I totally off base here?

If anyone knows how this is done or what tools they are using, I'd really appreciate the help. Thanks!

With how things usually work with Liquid, siuhy is about to become the best IGL in the world

I've been playing CS for over a decade. I still remember finishing college and watching Fnatic with JW and Krimz in their prime and James Bardolph/DDK on the desk calling it.

Just put the BLAST Bounty S2 stream on tonight and there they were. Same two voices, all these years later.

Some things don't change, and I'm glad this is one of them. How refreshing!

Feeling more confident with entering site and clearing, so when a round goes this smoothly, I know that the dark days are becoming fewer.
