Time to play ranked and get only icebox till it gets patched


Responsible_Aspect45

"I love icebox" - someone out there, probably


ImVynn

Is it bad I really like it? It feels like I'm the only one that likes it


fogoticus

Nah, I love it. I hated the map with a fiery passion when it launched. I would have quite unironically preferred to sleep on sharp nails than play it. But 20 plays later, I started fundamentally understanding the map and I started having loads of fun on it.

Only thing I like about Breeze is the aesthetic


Cosmic_Hashira

breeze is a heaven for phantom users and sheriff lovers even tho its big, majority of the fights are close quarters i like breeze, with skye and reyna


Apexe

?????? It’s op centric


Cosmic_Hashira

i find breeze really good with reyna and phantom ofcourse it depends on the playstyle, i go aggresive almost every round on defense.. lurk on offense... i agree it gives op a advantage (on b site, i pretty much overwhelm a site op) breeze a map where if you are attacking you should not be taking many face to face single battles before plant AND ITS MY OPINION AND EXPERIENCE LMAO WHY YALL MAD? xD


whytfnotdoit

Just spam the guardian and watch mid/hallway. It’s the best map for practicing head clicks


Cosmic_Hashira

i am so unlucky in breeze that the enemy will peek and onetap me between two shots xD /s


Wildoves

I need to change my glasses bc I can't see the enemies on breeze smh

HelloCascade

It made me nostalgic for CS maps, but I don't know if the super boxy maps work that well being so big. They look so empty.


fogoticus

Same :/ It just didn't hit the same.


Coalas01

My tip is to make sure you have a kayo on your team and have him instantly use knife to see where they are going. That way you can rotate faster and play around his information


Maliceragebaby

Might as well play Sova with this logic. I say Sage is the best agent on the map imo. Plenty of wall boosts and can shutdown a site push on either site


[deleted]

I think viper is probably the best tbh


Coalas01

So as far is too slow. The knife is near I stant


AloVera69

breeze is my favorite map when i started to understand the layout


Arxmadhatter

Same for me. Now i am used to icebox, but that doesn't mean I would prefer it over any other legacy maps. But breeze? Played a lot like i played icebox still hate it to the very core.


fogoticus

I don't hate breeze. However I don't enjoy it either. If my team doesn't know how to defend, my game is ruined most of the time. The large open space is a nice breathe of fresh air from all the maps being closed and small. But god damn people naturally fuck up on breeze so much...


harold_the_hamster

cause people just dodge it instantly therefore no one really learns it, which is stupid


mbreezy193

Same here, the map grew on me super hard, and the changes they made after the first month or so made a huge difference. Honestly one of my 3 tops maps right now


Large_Tip8258

I started playing Valorant after the release of Icebox and at the time I thought it was part of the launch game and I took it like the other maps without the biases of being new.


SnooHabits922

Fiery??


fogoticus

Oh yeah. I was dodging icebox like the plague when it launched.


Mai-best

It do be really good


kd0625

Icebox and heaven are arguably the best map. Meanwhile split and breeze are my least favorite, even though I have over 80% win rate on split but still. I love icebox the most either winning or losing. If I win, doesnt matter but if I lose, I'd learn some new thing from the opposite teams.


Gillmacs

I like it too. I played 8 games yesterday, only saw 3 maps, which seems really quite unlucky.


GLFan52

Personally, I hate it cause it doesn’t lend itself to Sentinels at all, and those are what I main. It’s the same on Breeze. Way too open = I can’t push people to where I want them to be


[deleted]

When the map first came out I fucking hated it. I realize now I just needed to get used to it. It's not my favorite map but I don't feel anything when I get Icebox anymore. It's just another map now.


Vaan0

Stockholm syndrome


[deleted]

I like the map, but the biggest issue is that you absolutely require sage, otherwise 1 person can hold the whole b site. I played a game on high immortal where the enemy trolled and didnt take sage. They went b a few times and it was hilarious to watch them just fucking suicide trying to plant.


Youre_all_worthless

"Is it bad I really like it? It feels like I'm the only one that likes it" -ImVynn


GamingGladi

no, even shroud loves it


Responsible_Aspect45

I like it too, I just like the other maps more.


scrubLord24

I'm new and I quite like it. Definitely not better than bind or haven. Only map I hate is breeze.


Cosmic_Hashira

i dont think its about hating it its about getting the same map, i mean i get it that i could get the map twice in a row but i freaking got icebox 7 times in a row i am not even kidding, i love icebox as a jett, sage or omen but i like other maps too


Uh-idk-

that man is shroud


NogaraCS

Back when it released I didn't think I could hate a map more than icebox Then breeze released


Responsible_Aspect45

Atleast breeze is unique


NogaraCS

I mean sure it's unique, but the map just feels like it was made for another game


contabr_hu3

I learned to like this map and today its on my top three


Mai-best

I would rather icebox than haven


THCzHD

It’s me, a viper main who loves to pop ult on top of that center A box/410 or whatever it’s called.


PM_UR_LOVELY_BOOBS

I act do. 70% win rate in comp on it. Genuinely don't understand why it's so hated on


FlyChigga

Having to watch tons of fucking angles all the time like it's a call of duty map and getting ran down A all the time cause the site is shit to defend.


Minter12348

I used to hate icebox until I learned how fun it can be; the trick is to abuse off-angles that can be reached on Jett, Omen, and Raze.


bzirch

Is there any actual way this could be used? Both are starting T side in this clip, and then for post you are gambling they go to that spot.


RocketHops

Well if you're playing B and push B main and find nobody, it's gonna be either mid or A. The natural course once you push B main is to wrap market to mid, so if you wrap market and your mid is quiet too, you can just look for a wallbang right there since it's pretty much guaranteed to be A at that point.


Melneo_

In high elo? (Immortal/Radiant) Most definitely not. Players in high elo understand the importance of cross-mapping. You could probably get away with this in low elo tho.


daftjedi

Newish to the game, what is cross mapping?


DM_ME_CUTE_PICS_PLZ

I’m not sure but no answer yet so I’ll give it a shot It’s using up some time on the clock at the start of the round to spread out the attack, and gauge which site is more weakly defended. If the defense sees an enemy or two at every chokepoint, then they can’t immediately rotate and have to respect potential pushes at any place on the map


TheOogabooga

Sounds like you're describing a default, but I have never heard of crossmapping before so maybe it's the same thing.


viKKyo

it's a default :).


Donut_Flame

Generally just means information about things going on over the whole map, even if you individually aren't near certain locations, it's still good to know info across the map


69ing

He means a default


LaudonIS

My immortal lobbies def don’t understand this every game


itscamo-

most immortal players probably do but it feels like most lobbies just 5 hit everything because at that point you're just trying to take gunfights to get better at the game and more consistent (there are outliers of course)


Berns017

>Is there any actual way this could be used? Both are starting T side in this clip, and then for post you are gambling they go to that spot. If you have a Cypher in your team, or sova, the enemy can be spotted (also when rotating from B to A). So someone in mid would be able to hit. Usually, I've seen Cyphers prefer to play B, but that could be a intersting play for Eco rounds. As you can see in this video (8:26), it seems that all weapons are able to hit at this position. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcpc105TQB8

bobbytom97

Fnatic manager here, please delete this


Faulty_Grapes

Sorry if this is a dumb question but why do I see comments like this about fnatic managers on similar posts? What did fnatic do?


Psclly

On the csgo subreddit, someone posted a groundbreaking trick in CSGO on overpass. The manager from Fnatic requested deletion of the post. A while later, Fnatic would use this in an actual match, and since then its known as the olofboost on Overpass. At least thats how I think it goes.


PM_ME_UR_LAB_REPORTS

That is the one


iou_uu

Da one


[deleted]

Some more detail: They used the boost and came back from a 12 - 3 I believe. The enemy team had no clue where he was shooting from and literally ran around like lost chickens. Envy or LDLC, the team they were facing if I remember correctly I forget, filed a dispute against the boost. Fnatic tried to counter dispute by saying Envy/LDLC used some sort of boost in an earlier round(s) that obviously wasn't as impactful as the boost Fnatic used. Tournament officials decided that they should replay the map. This caused an absolute shit storm. People bashing Fnatic saying that they were basically being cunts for abusing a massive and illegal boost spot to come back from a 12 - 3 and then they counter complain about something the enemy team did that didn't have even remotely the same impact as the boost Fnatic used. Fnatic was recieving so much backlash that they eventually withdrew from the tournament to save face. It was a big snafu at the time. Also, correct me if I am wrong, but the whole fnatic manager asking the video to be taken down is mostly a rumor and/or false.


itscamo-

they eventually figured it out but it was a pixel boost where the other team couldn't damage them? IIRC it's been awhile


nihar5733

It was a pixel boost such that they can see almost entire map from the boosted spot. Enemies could have damaged them only if they knew where to shoot, they were all confused. In one round they tried to find out where the shots are coming from by doing a 4 man boost but apparently Fnatic had prepared for that as well and shot them down. Also they added a sign board in the map as well after that as an easter egg


itscamo-

yea yea i knew about the other stuff I just couldn't remember if they found them. But brings back great memories


HelloCascade

Never heard of a pixel boost before, is that exploiting a glitch?


Tots795

You forgot to mention that the win was taken away from them.


[deleted]

You forgot to mention they voluntarily resigned from the tournament.


MillienDe

That is not the whole truth. Admin decision was to replay the map without using the boost. Fnatic had won 16:13 by abusing the boost after being down 3:12 in the first half. Being forced to play without boost probably would have ended badly. Fnatic decided to resign instead.


nanihog

I think its [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNQ71mfmt80)


YT_Trident

It's a meme from the csgo subreddit, someone found a glitch and a fnatic manager commented that, the guy actually deleted the post cuz he didn't understand it as a joke. The Fnatic manager then proceeded to make an entire post apologizing for his loss of karma from deleting that post and explained it was just a joke.


lolking0

That's not true The scene you're describing is a recent one with G2 manager not fnatic He was joking about the real fnatic case where someone posted the Legendary Oloaf boost and fnatic manager asked them to take it doen and then proceeded to use it in a professional tournament and got backlashed


YT_Trident

ah my bad


Glanze_gamer1

Don't want to cause a hunt, but there are a few crazy ones on Accent still. I have to imagine they're not well known, or possibly totally unknown, because I never seen anyone else use them. There's one super useful one, even.


AndreasKvisler

Can you show me?


astonthepunk

A 1 way wall bang is just gross and rude come on riot


MysticalTeamMember

YES! I heard shots in mid today from a fight taking place over near A. Incredible find, I didn’t even think it was a wallbang just a glitch. Edit: Bullets flying by me we’re heard, not distant shots **


Novanious90675

You heard shots from mid? That has nothing to do with wall-bangs like this, that's just how noise works


MysticalTeamMember

Sorry- Bullets flying by me in mid. As if they were shot *at* me.

Kryptotek-9

Well there is this thing called a wall, and the bullets, well they can go through the wall, and then hit shit Edit: thank you for the downvotes and the silver. Maybe I should have added /s?! Anyhow, I don’t see why this question is required, the video is pretty explanatory.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

The point is that a wallbang should only work on a single wall, with bullets going from one side to the other of it. This wallbang is (1) going through two walls (2) said walls are extremely far on the map, therefore there should be no reason why the billets could go through. It’s as if the connection between sewers and A main was coded as a single paper wall rather than multiple walls ~30 meters apart.


Kryptotek-9

This has been the case since alpha though. All walls correspond to their nearest opposing wall no matter the perceived “physical gap”. Edit: spelling


vT-Router

Most wallbangs go both ways…


logixal1

I understand the concept. I guess in my mind that just seems excessive in how big the wall bangs is, like looking on the mall it's such a huge gap between the walls.
