WarOwl has literally been providing legitimately useful feedback to CS:GO devs since the CS:GO beta. Cannot believe they missed him.

The worst part is it's all the valorant players getting keys

I was on the bus back from school when the trailers released, and boy, did my face light up, i was hyped af, and my friends all agreed, saying they have never seen me this happy before.

3.5k hours, high rank, good trust factor (as far as I know), no bans on any steam game, and 70k of skins didnt get me in lmao

Bro i remember when valo came out 3 years ago every content creator had beta access. They reached out to them all. Look at Valve they gave keys to kids who play on MM servers. Not even pro players with thousands of hours got the key. Didn't expect better from them ngl.

someone at valve has a grudge against anomaly and isnt letting them send him a key.

Nailed the Jeff pronunciation.

The way you pronounced Yeff's name though 💀

I was the only one in my local gaming group to get it (super honoured and thankful, but very surprised!). Someone else theorised that accounts like mine (fairly new in the scheme of things with lots of hours in the past year or so) might be more likely to get it than veterans with countless hours over the past decade, as newer players may be more willing to accept (or even enjoy) big changes.

CSGO content creators aren't gonna advertise CS2 to people that don't already know about it. Valorant players however will. It's stupid, but that's why. Same reason apex legend players don't get apex legend sponsorships.

Never played csgo before and jumping in to. Dose any one know the best places to buy cases and skins etc ?

I have 8k hours if you count csgo and css, 11 years old, level 104 account, no bans, no alts, been GE, +1000 wins in MM, 80h last 2 weeks mostly in MM, and I was part of the original csgo beta. No access. But my level 9 steam account friend with 200 hours in csgo / 0.5 last 2 weeks, got it. It's definitely random.

Warowl have a sticker in game actually shameless that they didn't even invite him on the moment it dropped he had to tweet that he doesn't have access even though he has devoted his career into cs, fans had to tag cs and actually beg for warowl to get it. I don't know wtf devs were thinking

I respect valve for treating content creators the same as all the csgo fans.

Value likely did not invite Skins content creators to minimize the market impacts, I don't think the skins are completely figured out. Examples like Sun in Leo shows that people will jump on anything. The market impact has already become larger then anything we've seen before and its possible inviting Skins content creators could've made the impact much worse.

My face when he suddenly showed trilluxe: 🤯🥳

You and onepixel and sparkles are the reason I played it again

Them skipping past HONAHOO was the crime against humanity

I know fl0m had an issue where he was not in right when the beta started despite being in the playtest and the devs reaching out a few days early to get his profile link to make sure he was in. I assume they had issues with rolling out the beta to the right people. That said, those issues should have been resolved by now, and people not in yet surely were not supposed to be in the first wave.
