MIBR\u2019s TACO wants supposed CS:GO radar exploit banned for IEM Katowice Major Counter-Strike: Global Offensive pro Epit\u00e1cio \u2018TACO\u2019 de Melo is looking for changes to be made to the game\u2019s smoke grenades before the prestigious IEM Katowice Major gets underway. The smokes issue supposedly allows players to create a bind that means they can quickly zoom in on their radar and see opponents on their mini map before they appear in the smoke. Some players will spam the bind as a smoke grenade is fading in a bid to get a radar prompt that shows a nearby enemies location. While not a cheat, it is a controversial part of the game and one that some fans and players believe is an unfair exploit. Some pros, including MIBR players, want changes to be made ahead of the Katowice Major to prevent the use of the trick. TACO tweeted the tournament organizers, ESL, asking for changes to be made: \u201cHey my lovely ESL, I know it must be late but I have two request. 1- Make hats allowed again. 2- Ban this RADAR bind that makes it possible to see our opponents on the radar before the smoke fades. The #2 is really important. I want real CS. #FairPlay\u201d The Brazilian also added that he has been using the bind to level the playing field: \u201cI have been using this radar bind because I\u2019m tired of getting fucked by idiots crouched in the smokes waiting for it to fade. Make CS fair again!\u201d I have been using this radar bind because I\u2019m tired of getting fucked by idiots crouched in the smokes waiting for it to fade. Make CS fair again! \u2014 Epit\u00e1cio (@TACOCS) February 11, 2019 However, not all pros were supportive of TACO\u2019s request \u2013 with Fnatic\u2019s Jesper \u2018JW\u2019 Wecksell taking an \u2018adapt or die\u2019 attitude to the bind, despite not being a fan of it. He replied to his longtime opponent, stating: \u201cI found this zoom bind about one month ago, I heard players were using it so why not, you know adapting? \u201cI don\u2019t defend it, I\u2019m telling you where the problem is. I have never used anything that is banned from tournaments, Mr. using banned aliases during tournaments ;).\u201d I found this zoom bind about 1 month ago ish, i heard players were using it so why not, you know adapting? I dont defend it, im telling you where the problem is.

He responded to Taco, saying: \u201c1 \u2013 I don\u2019t give a fuck. 2 \u2013 there is AUG still (in-game), so who cares about radar?\u201d 1 \u2013 I don\u2019t give a fuck. 2 \u2013 there is AUG still, so who cares about radar :shrug:\u2642\ufe0f \u2014 Fernando Alvarenga (@fer) February 12, 2019 Not all pros have resorted to using the exploitative bug, though.. Former Tricked Esport and Nordavind player Allan \u2018AnJ\u2019 Jensen added that he has refused to cave in: \u201cI\u2019ve been too stubborn to use it myself, which is just stupid because it gives such a big advantage. I want it gone too :(\u201c I’ve been too stubborn to use it myself, which is just stupid because it gives such a big advantage.. I want it gone too \ud83d\ude41 \u2014 Allan Jensen (@AnJcsgo) February 11, 2019 The smokes in CS:GO have been a hot topic for some time. Back in November, following the ECS Season 6 Finals, FaZe Clan\u2019s Nikola \u2018NiKo\u2019 Kova\u010d called out in-game exploits being used with the smokes as Astalis players picked up some jaw-dropping kills through them. Read More: Sources: TSM exploring options in CS:GO – The Danish powerhouse squad had been accused of using \u2018special Nvidia settings\u2019 to see through smokes but they refuted all the claims against them \u2013 with the majority of the CS:GO community, including pros like JW, jumping to their defense. However, Astralis\u2019 in-game leader, Lukas \u2018gla1ve\u2019 Rossander, doesn\u2019t even appear to know about this particular issue, as he questioned what TACO was talking about. I dont really understand the thing about the radar bind? Is it just the bind to make the radar more zoomed in? \u2014 Lukas Rossander (@gla1ve_csgo) February 12, 2019 Current FaZe Clan coach Janko \u2018YNK\u2019 Paunovic was one of the first personalities to jump to the defense of Astralis back in November and he questioned why TACO had asked ESL to make a change to the long-standing bug and not gone to Valve \u2013 seeing as ESL are only a tournament organizer. I don’t see how ESL can do this, it’s a game thing, it would have to be a fix from the devs and seeing how it has been in the game for forever, doesn’t look like that’s gonna happen anytime soon. I suggest you keep practicing it guerreiro, just like the AUG \ud83d\ude00 \u2014 Janko Paunovic (@YNk) February 12, 2019 It is unlikely that changes will be made to the current bug, despite the Major being just around the corner and some pro players being so vocal about it becoming increasingly prominent in-game. UPDATE As the issue continues to garner more and more attention online, former pro turned analyst Chad \u2018SPUNJ\u2019 Burchill has explained exactly how it works in-game. There are other tweaks with position and size of the hud its self that you can do to make it even bigger. This is why you will see on the face cams pros looking at the top left while standing in or next to smokes in tight choke points. \u2014 Chad Burchill (@SPUNJ) February 12, 2019 We will continue to update this post as the story progresses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
