Are scam sites like these really common or is this just a one-off occurrence? Just asking b/c I'm pretty new to CS:GO

Just got an invite from a private profile that isn't friends with me to join a steam group for the CS:GO site csgo999.com.
Never heard of it and it looks suspicious as hell (nowhere to contact them, consistent misspellings of words). Their steam group only has 17 members, even though on the site it claims to have had 1871 users in traffic today on their top banner. Here's the steam group I got invited to: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/csgo999_3034. Also, just noticed that the owner of the group is level 0 private. This seems really fucked

Is this a new site or an existing one? Also, isn't their current betting system not allowed by Valve as seen with all of the recent cease and desist letters and lawsuits? Are scam sites (like this one seems to be) common and should I not be posting about it?

While I do indeed dislike you on a personal level, this is not what my post was about. It was just saying that my experiences with you as a co-leader and team member have been negative, and solely on those bases would I advise people to express concern, regardless of my personal relationship with you.

I don't really know what this means, never told you to kill yourself?

Not sure about the other talent on this team, but my experiences with xellose are iffy at best. Be warned he used to hack and I have no clue if he still does or has stopped. He was incredibly tilty and killed our S21 open team. Hoping that he's changed since then, but be warned. I see some names like HatSimulator that make this team look promising.

Yaoooooo

So right now in MixChamp we are stuck in an eternal game because there are no admins on who can kill the mix. Our team captain did not want to play demo and reported himself. However, our scout had to leave after he had previously left both mumble and the site. We could not start the mix, find a sub, or get an admin.I feel like I have some suggestions for the MixChamp captaining. Is there any way there can be a system in which:

A) Players can choose whether or not they wish to captain as to avoid this situation

B)Players who rep themselves as captains can elect a new captain/sub a new captain in in case anyone else needs to leave

C)Players who rep themselves as captains have a slightly longer cooldown

Pug got killed finally, still hoping some of these changes get considered.

Used to think the dude was legit a psychopath, then had an actual 1 on 1 discussion with him and he seems like a pretty cool dude.Seems like kind of a meme in pugs but he pounded anytime he was subbing for his open team against us in scrims. Pick him up if you get the chance.

Just played my first pug, was pretty happy overall about the experience other than a few stats not working and having to play medic against atomic on sniper. Looking forward to the full release in all regions soon!

fun to hang with, dedicated to improving

in b4 habib pound

bump, have a few good leads on teams but keeping myself open to more tryouts until I commit to a single team

Reckoner maybe? Seemed to do well this season in ETF2L and I personally like the map a lot.

This might just be my inexperience at play here, but I feel like the caber could be unbanned. To my knowledge it's not that great after the nerf a little while back, I think the explosion attack does 90ish damage and you only get to use it once unless you die or resub. Even then it's still a melee attack and on the demo at that. I personally don't see it being very broken, however this might just be me being retarded and not seeing how powerful it is or something.

I am using the Dark ESEA theme, Chrome Mobile Desktop, and Twitch Emotes Everywhere addons. I have attempted to disable all of them with no luck and have a very recent (but not the most recent) version of Chrome. I'll try to update and see what happens.
Edit: The next latest version past mine are the Dev/Beta releases, not going to get them.

Bump also taking low open scout tryouts if team is fun and can deal with my shitty DM
