似水流年 - Years Flowing Like Water
Weary, with no words or tears, I look at the endless sea,
Confused, I look at the endless sky
Like a small boat, my heart is tossed in waves,
I look at my days and wonder
Where am I going?
I can’t see, but I’m willing to keep on

Just who is steering this tiny boat
Struggling to stay afloat in this sea of sadness
My heart mourns
The years flow by like water
The past is gone, forever

All I have now are memories, chains and chains of memories,
I long for yesterday, but time cannot turn back
My youth is gone, all is changed
But not my love
My love will stay, forever

望著海一片 滿懷倦 無淚也無言
望著天一片 只感到情懷亂

我的心又似小木船
遠景不見 但仍向著前

誰在命裡主宰我
每天掙扎 人海裡面
心中感嘆 似水流年
不可以留住昨天

留下只有思念 一串串永遠纏
浩瀚煙波裡 我懷念 懷念往年
外貌早改變 處境都變 情懷未變

留下只有思念 一串串永遠纏
浩瀚煙波裡 我懷念 懷念往年
外貌早改變 處境都變 情懷未變

Information
I'm a mid-20 year old gamer who resides in Alberta, Canada who started playing Counter-Strike: Source since the creation of this Steam account, and forever sold my heart to Counter-Strike and the Command and Conquer franchise since childhood. I'm not a particularly sociable and outgoing individual, so be aware while interacting; I don't intend to offend though.

Nearly all my wealth on Steam is from CSGL betting ( LoungeStat chart [i.imgur.com]) and investment that came from an initial $240 buy-in, and both speculative but profitable hobbies have become a significant part of my insignificant life. I also work about three to five days every week elsewhere. Conversely, I have never opened a single case or played on a true gambling site ever, and unfortunately I'm highly frugal with every dollar I have. I've only ever given away skins to one supportive friend who I've known for many years.

I don't add for trades, only trade offers will be considered. I'm not currently really looking to do much trading unless you're significantly overpaying--too much hassle and calculation compared to using OPSkins. You can find my {LINK REMOVED}; I've sold $4K USD up until March 2016 from 2015.

Current betting status in March 2016: quite abysmal. Lost 2.5k USD, somewhat on last legs if this last betting set of items is lost without at least a 1.5x return on its value. Overall set me back about five months.

CS:GO
I come from a background from playing years of CS:S leading into the closed CS:GO beta with some competitive background from scrimming via IRC but mostly casual community server play. Now I mostly play matchmaking at a relatively casual level.

I lapse into periods of inactivity due to work or motivation which decays my rank back into placement, but I always float around a real rank of around MGE (pre-rank update, DMG during rank inflation). This causes a lot of inconsistency in aim ability, but I fundamentally tend to be a much more cerebral support player who attempts to make very precise calls, identify and shore up flanks and hold control of areas, follows entry frag (and hopefully trades), and loves post-plant mindgames.

I heavily favour a default slow-clearing style and while I haven't ever been IGL (and would gander I'd be mediocre even with reliable players), I might fit well as a subordinate IGL. Almost everything I do is a deliberate action to exploit the weaknesses of the opponent; positioning and psychology is my infatuation, but I'm not disillusioned to believe I possess star quality.

I don't smurf or throw matches to play against opponents below my rank, as it is interesting to neither of us especially when I'm flanked and killed without being traded anywhere and everywhere. However as mentioned above I run into inactivity problems, and enjoy playing with friends who are placed lower than I should be. But only occasionally do I 30-40 bomb consistently even against nova-skilled opponents--I tend to be the consistent player who gets ~20-25 kills every game.

Stream
Occasionally I stream random things, such as CS, and more niche things like Mount and Blade, Total War series, and Project M. Feel free to follow me here on Twitch [twitch.tv]; it's hardly anything yet, but I still try for that chance of having a respectable small community stream.


CaptainCarlos is here and now baby, standby because we are in the drop zone in deportation mode every Sunday coming to you all the way live via satellite. Action-packed, double-wrapped, high speed low drag, factory authorized, clinically tested, and clinically proven dog, this is all that I know. :bang:
