Dust II

So if you call something for freeze time, you're always rolling the dice.

Like, I mean, if you call something set, a set strat or whatever, you can call, you have a long spawn, you can go out, you can rush A on dust 2, and they could be opening 4A, and you can get shredded.

You know, like that...

Danger always exists.

Maus, this has happened with a lot of teams too, like a lot of these phenomenon lately.

Maus, a map that they were banning last year, and a map that was picked against them to punish all the time, Dust2.

They are now... quite good at Dust 2.

I don't think their stats reflect it, but they're playing against good Dust 2 teams all the time, and they're finding good results.

I don't think that's the end of the world.

You know what I mean? Like Dust 2 is a map that even if you pick it, I don't trust.

We can talk about that veto being problematic, the fact that they're picking a Dust 2 here.

But I don't hate losing Dust 2 when you pick it, especially if the next map is Nuke.

Like Nuke is usually a game where if you're the better team, you should get things done at 8-4 at halftime.

They should convert that game.

He's allowing.

The aggressive piece is to be hyper-aggressive, whilst him, in that mid-to-long range, just shuts down angles.

You're right, as the map goes on.

And you saw towards the end of that Dust 2, it's like, yeah, Manoyez is setting up Betboom for free, uh, Betboom, setting up Boomich for free picks through the mid doors.

And then he's re-aggressing and catching up Kyosuke,

who's

What were you thinking of? Which one?

So this is on Dust 2.

Essentially, you know, Aurora, they're prepping to do a little bit of a B-take.

They're all gathering into Dark.

He was doing good.

So yes, you've got a character that starts performing well, but at what cost? Yeah.

And then in the BB team game, they had a round on Dust 2.

Obviously, the Dust 2 went over time.

It's 1.6, no mods, classic maps.

It's not just Dust 2, and it rotates.

A lot of fun.

We have bots sometimes.

I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

You don't go into Counter-Strike 2 and say, I want 50 million things to change and I'm going to write it in every comment board and every forum over and over and over and over because you're getting smoked on Dust 2.

You know what I mean? And people have been playing it for 15 years.

It's just tough.

Like, I've, I've joked about it before.

You can fit their entire Dust II on one side of A4.

Like, it's really not a, a deep strat book.

It's very set, very fixed.

And now it's, now it's Kscerato's job.

Oh, he's playing our Dust- Dust II space sector.

He's like, "Okay, throw this smoke for me.

Uh, careful, I wanna do this default.

Like, you know there's specific micros where you can play a position where you don't need to look somewhere because you're gonna hear them jump out, jump out.

Mm-hmm.

Dust II, Dust II window is the most obvious one.

Mm.
