Welcome to our team: Legends of Valor! Please bear with me as this (and probably all of them) will be long.

IF YOU READ NOTHING ELSE PLEASE READ THIS FIRST PARAGRAPH RIGHT NOW

First off I would like to say that I look forward to working with all of you. In that regard I want to have everyone be friends here and get to know each other a little bit. Once everybody has joined I'm going to ask everyone to post a discussion of who you are and what you do. I'll post specifics about that later. Please also give me CONTACT INFORMATION for you (mine are at the end of the announcement you're gonna have to read it all). I want something that you get notifications for. I want something that you CHECK REGULARLY throughout the day. that I can send you in the middle of the day and get a reply from you within about half a day to 24 hours. I don't want to be playing steam message tag for two days to find out when you're going to be able to cue with us. Yes, I have had this problem before.
However to make my job easier I want everyone to start looking at strats and general teamwork. To our AWPers: Vardell and Jelly I want you to watch this video about awping: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mCHnSArLBo
This one is the second awp guide for agressive awping. I would like you to watch both, however this one is more important as you probably have an idea of how to passive awp.
To everyone I want you all to watch this guide on the economy of the game:
part one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JyPKqovdNqI
part two: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgw5JESe3TA
part three: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWfjkSvWEUM
I assume that at this rank everyone has an idea but I want everyone to have the same base knowledge. Some of this is outdated, however save for the costs of some weapons and WarOwl's insitence on certain strategies (such as how to buy after a loss which I will call). The important part is how much money you need to buy next round on a save round. Too many times have I seen in matchmaking someone call for a save or Eco and have someone with $2,000 buy a deagle. I also want here to insist on the importance of buying as a team. I've had force buys work out except for one guy who doesn't force because he wants an awp and gets into an engagement with a USP that he could have won with an SMG. When watching these just adjust the numbers by a couple hundred to account for the changed cost of M4s. Yes, I'm asking you to do math and use your brains, it's not that hard.
I also reccommend this jump throw bind to expand your smoke options: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bODutp7l7o0
The first map we will work on is Mirage so I want you all to think about what your prefered CT spots are. We will work out who gets what So I will ask everyone to think of two different positions on the map so that if we can find you a prefered place even if two have the same choice. In addition I want you to start thinking about smokes. A site has a pretty standard smoke setup as well as molotov spots. I'll go over specifics when we end up meeting for a practice, however you can start looking up those. On B site I have a specific strategy i want there, however you can look up smokes for there as well to think about how they fit into our strat when I go over it.
Finally I have something fun for mirage: A "trick" strategy from one of the female CS:GO teams that I want you all to watch and think over. https://youtu.be/XQQpTS1hTe0?t=50m23s
you can watch the whole video but this is where she talks about the fake strat. I really like it and this can be a good eco strat.

If anyone has ideas you want to se or if you need more info about anything you can contact ME on steam (however I don't get here every day when I'm busy) my email is alruin95@gmail.com you can text me at 218-838-8281. I get notifications pushed to my phone for both of those and will probably reply within a couple of hours depending on class schedules and how important your message is.
