Last night I had the pleasure of playing with someone that I would've never guessed played C3. He is a CS pro that I've known for years, not personally but have played against him dozens of times (and yes get destroyed).

When I joined the server and saw his name (which I won't say, but those that were playing know)I immediately said hi and we pvssyd in side chat about what's new and how he likes C3 etc.

But let me get to the actual point of this post..

We played at least 6-8 matches together maybe more. And even though he is not a C3 player, he is still very good- near perfect aim and amazing tracking will do that in any fps. But what stood out the most is his 'professional' demeanor. He didn't run around with silly easy weapons, or make comments about 'being lucky' if someone killed him. He didn't even care about how many kills he got or how many times he died (he was like 2-1 in most matches but could've been 5-1 easy). He even switched teams anytime they were imbalanced. We played a game of extraction, round 1 I think we had 9, so 3-4 minutes left round 2 they other team only had 1, he switched and they ended up with 7 making it much more fun for everyone. He didn't care if anyone thought he was good, he just played.

This was especially refreshing because you hardly ever see that in this game. Most of the better players need all the attention they can get, talking about how many kills they got, their kdr (as if that matters in a non-comp game) or even post vids showing how they can noob stomp and go 60-5 or something.

This game needs more professional players, not paid pros like my friend, but guys that go out there use there abilities to make the game enjoyable not more frustrating. Guys who play like this need to be mentioned and promoted in the gaming community because you will just never hear it from them, they lead by example.

P.S. he will be around using his real name until it becomes a pain, so if you know CS, say hi but don't be pushy.

MODERATORS: please edit any post containing names PLEASE!

In MP, players make the game, not the game itself. Play with friends, with nice players and you have fun, period. Unless the game is really awful, of course.

If the teams are really imbalanced then I will change teams because It can't be fun for the other team to be suffering badly....

but I do agree the amount of martyrs in this game is a significantly diminished number

Agreed 100%.

There are a group (large clan) full of players that just svck to play with or against. And it doesn't svck because they are good either (which most of them are), it svcks because they are always complaining or acting like they are the sh*t. Saying things like "lets go ruin some kdrs.." in side chat when it is completely unnecessary because any money they are on TS with each other. This childish behavior does not belong in any good clan.
I love playing against better players. Seeing guys like the Aky, toxjq, WW, Raptor, Sdub, these guys make me better, and even if they run the server you never feel like they are there to be mean.. they are just better... and having fun.
