-noforcemaccel -noforcemparms -noforcemspd stopped working years ago. these are placebo
-mat_dxlevel 98 is usually the worst dxlevel for fps. 90 or 95 better if you want to use dx9, but for fps 81 is best
Pretty sure -threads doesn't matter depending on specs
don't remember what -heapsize does exactly but I doubt it's a significant difference if you have it in launch options. Graphics configs probably already put it at recommended values for fps

an EU HL sniper. I remember playing with him in pubs occasionally and watching his streams a couple of times. Never looked suspicious

no vac ban on the steam account so I'm assuming he cheated on an alt

Yea with VTF crosshairs a lot is possible today but it's not that big of a task for them to port over some of the cs:go settings. There already is a gap function for the open cross (with or without dot) but it doesn't work properly. Not sure why they decided not to implement it but afaik nothing about the source engine is holding them back

Also currently resolution has a big influence on crosshairs so using a low res like 800x600 or 640x480 makes some crosshairs a mess so using a low cl_crosshair_scale often doesn't work out well with low resolutions. This is an issue HUD elements (HUD crosshairs) don't have

Also on the subject of crosshairs they should really polish the VTF files. If you've ever looked at the standard VTF crosshairs to edit them you might've seen that a lot of them are asymetrical (default scattergun crosshair, default rocket launcher crosshair) or off center (default sniper crosshair). Also they probably didn't save the VTFs with the right flags because some are very blurry (top of default medigun crosshair) which is never an issue when I make a VTF crosshair with the correct flags checked. Or they used a bad jpg to make their crosshairs

Commands for resizing or recoloring default HUD damage numbers would be cool. Due to how HUD fonts work that's probably harder to make work though

Forever a sub
Never on a team
Playing with friends, that is my dream
For now I'll just pub
I queue, join cp_freight
That spy's running backwards, our engi is 8
All good, just a game
But never pushing is lame
I requeue, cp_well
Oh, this'll be swell
Scouts are abundant, sentries are too
Hello there engies, I'm coming for you
I go soldier, I deal with them all
I'm on a killstreak, I'm having a ball
But what's that I see? I heard it too late
A brass beast heavy was lying in wait

Even if this is serious I'm hoping they'll still go. LANs are fun and I'm hoping they'll at least go for that alone.
If they're not playing but still going, having Kaidus as analyst/caster again would be cool.
Also if this is not enough to convince them: I'm going this year B)

There's no reason for Europeans to leave ETF2L for 6v6.
MGE can be done though. Promote it enough and you'll have some MGE lords trying to compete if the prizes are good.
I'd recommend working together with an already established league though.

TFCL might show interest in helping you with the basics since they probably have to focus on niche gamemodes anyway. If you discuss things with the Faceit team regarding the plug-ins you might be able to organize it directly through faceit even.

DDS changes are amazing. I'm so glad the majority of pubbers never figured out how OP it is. Now it seems like an amazing counter to those pyros that sit in the back of the map spamming scorch shot because wm1 is too hard for them

There was some negative feedback about the amby change. Keep in mind close-mid range RNG has been reduced which is a significant buff. You can now headshot + instantly kill a low hp class at close range if this will be close to stock revolver spread.
For taking out razorback snipers at close-mid range that's amazing.
Also headshotting scouts close range and then missing the followup bodyshots due to RNG felt really bad so maybe that's a thing of the past as well.
Might even be able to headshot + bodyshot engineers reliably now if you get spotted before the stab and still have time to sap a sentry if it's at a 180° angle.
The change doesn't seem all bad. We don't even know how wide the spread will be and what "long range" will be exactly

Overall a lot of these changes are definitely based on comp player feedback. It's not perfect yet but we're getting there. Slowly

Played on some server for multiple weeks. Some low grav orange server which I used to warm up my sniper aim.
One of the admins had seen me multiple times already. Never had an issue with him.
Suddenly after like 3 weeks of using the server he bans a hacker on the other team (which I pointed out to him), then he specs me and bans me as well.

He unbanned me a couple of hours later and apologised for his mistake though
