Greetings cs go fans. This time I decided to write down a big guide for you on a variety of terms in cs go. Below in the menu you can select what you don’t understand and click on the link to read more. This is a kind of cs go dictionary. I hope you find it useful. Let's go.
What does gg wp mean?
GG VP (or gg wp) is an abbreviation for the English phrase Good game well played, which can literally be translated as “good game, well played.” Those. speaking in simple language, this phrase means that one team thanks the other for playing. Personally, I would decipher it like this: “Thanks for playing. It was a pleasure playing with you."
Sometimes something like easy katka or simply easy is added to this phrase. The meaning of this expression is something like this - “Easy victory”, “Didn’t feel it”. Usually it is written when the score is crushing, although many manage to use it when winning at 16:14 (thus trolling their opponents).
What is global blocking in cs go?
A global ban in cops is when you were convicted by a patrol and received a Vac ban. This means that you have already received enough reports to put you in the status of “unreliable players”. Then you went to the patrols for inspection and were considered guilty (using cheats).
What to do in case of global blocking? If you have a lot of expensive items in your inventory, try to sell them quickly. You can try writing to Steam support - although I wouldn’t hope for it. Such blockings arrive in dozens (or maybe hundreds) every day, and it’s unlikely that support will have time to communicate with you, listening to “I’m not to blame for anything.”
There is also a temporary blocking. If you don’t have a title and you’ve been given a temporary account block, then you shouldn’t be afraid. This only happens during calibration - valve needs time to analyze your results. Once you are given a rank, the temporary ban will no longer appear.
What does unreliable status mean in cs go?
Unreliable - I think the phrase speaks for itself. This status means that the patrol checked you, and you did not seem to him to be a “white and fluffy” cs go player. Soon you will go through another test (as I understand it from the more important guys from Valve) and if they don’t like something, Vac will come. Therefore, quickly sell off your clothes and just wait - maybe you will be lucky and there will be an amnesty for your account.
What does gl hf mean in cs go?
Gl is short for good luck, which literally translates as “good luck.” Hf is short for have fun, which means “have fun.” If we combine these two concepts, we see that gl hf means " fun game", "good game". Gl hf is written before the start of the game as a greeting for the opposing team.
Gh is short for good helf, which means “good half”. This is written after the end of half the game (i.e. after 15 rounds).
What is a force buy in cs go?
What does force buy mean? At the beginning of each round, the player is given a certain amount of money. If you have lost several rounds in a row, then there is not enough money for a full purchase. In this case there are two solutions:
- Virtually no shopping, buying only pistols and light armor (or nothing at all)
- Try to shop and turn the round in your favor. This is what force buy means.
This is especially true in the 2nd round after a lost pistol round. If you are told a force buy, it means that you need to buy with all the money you have and try to win this round (despite the fact that your opponent will have much better weapons).
What does eco round mean in cs go?
The Eco round is the opposite of the Force Buy. If you hear eco, it means you don’t need to buy anything this round. If you have extra money, you can buy a pistol and light armor, or give each teammate a pistol. If money is short, then the best solution will not buy anything at all. An eco round means that the team practically loses the round without fighting, hoping only to kill a few opponents and take their weapons. But in the next round, make a full buy and win.
What is a prime account in cs go?
A prime account is a Steam account to which a phone number has been linked. This is a kind of protection against bots or just people who create several accounts at once for different purposes. If you make yourself a prime account, you will only play with those who have also verified their phone number on Steam (in theory). To make yourself a prime account, you will need to install steam guard on your phone. Instructions can be found on steamcommunity.
What is a skin changer in cs go?
Skin changer in cs go is special program, allowing you to change skins on your computer. Instead of standard weapon skins, you can choose any available in this game. Please note that the skin changer only changes skins on your computer. Those. opposing teams will see the true coloring (default).
Can they give a Vac Ban for skin changer? My answer is yes, they can. The thing is that by using it you make changes to the game files, and this is prohibited by Valve rules. So you may well get banned, even though you are not a cheater.
What is Start Trek in cs go?
Star Trek (or in English stattrak) is a technology that allows you to keep track of the number of kills (killing opponents) on this weapon. I'll explain now. All weapons in cs go can be divided into two types: regular and start trek. With the first ones everything is clear. Star Trek are equipped with a special counter, which is added by one after each kill. This way you can see how many enemies you destroyed specifically with this weapon (and not with all).
What is a Star Trek double exchanger in cs go?
A double stattrak exchange is a transfer of the stattrak counter value from one weapon to another. Let me explain with an example: let’s say you have an ak-47 stattrak. You scored 150 kilos on it and now you’ve decided to buy yourself another Kalash. Naturally, the counter there will show zero. So, in order to transfer the number of kilos from the previous Ak-47 to a new one (just purchased) you need a stattrak exchanger. A double exchanger differs from a regular exchanger in that it can be used twice.
What is a vac ban in cs go
Vac ban is the blocking of your cs go account without the ability to play on the servers. Vak ban can be temporary or permanent. Temporary is given when you left the MM before the game ended. If you have problems with cs go crashes, then I recommend reading. Permanent vac arrives for using cheats (such as aim, input and others).
What does bunnyhop mean in cs go?
BunnyHop is a jumping motion left and right using the mouse wheel. Bunnyhop was especially popular in cs 1.6. In cs go it was noticeably fixed, but some players still use it. I wrote about how to learn how to bathe in
.What is a trade in cs go?
A trade in cs go is the exchange of items from the inventory between two players. Trade link is the URL required to make an exchange. To find it, you need the following:
- Go to inventory
- Find the exchange offer (it's the blue button located at the top right)
- Click on "who can send me a trade offer"
- Copy the above line - this is your trade link
There is a whole direction in cs go that allows you to accumulate money through trades. But this is a topic for a separate article.
What is aim in cs go?
Aim means two concepts at once (depending on the context):
- Aim is a shooting skill in cs go (how trained the player is in terms of killing the enemy)
- Aim is a special cheat that allows you to automatically aim at the enemy’s head
If they ask something like “where to download aim” or “he has aim”, then this means a cheat. One of the varieties of such cheats is silent aim - a smart cheat that allows you to target not only the head, but also the body. There are also aim lock and aim assist, which work on a similar principle. If they say something like “the player has trained aim”, “how to train aim” - then they mean the player’s skill in shooting.
What is a clan in cs go?
A clan in cs go is a team of five (or more) people united in one group. A clan tag is a special mark next to your nickname, indicating that you belong to a certain clan. A clan is usually created to play in various tournaments, although sometimes people unite simply to play MM without inadequate teammates.
What is a flick shot in cs go?
Flick shot is a quick kill of an enemy with awp, when the player turns on the zoom and immediately shoots, without even having time to really see the enemy. Usually, a flick shot is only possible for experienced players who already “feel in their gut” where the crosshair of the AVP sight is located. They see the enemy, press the zoom (so that the bullet flies right to the target) and immediately pull the trigger (or the mouse).
What is var in cs go?
Var in cs go is a counter that determines changes in FPS (smoothness of the game). If everything has always been fine with your FPS, but now you log in and it jumps back and forth, then it is recommended to look at var - this is probably where the problem lies. You can read about how to lower var at steamcommunity.com.
What does a name tag mean in cs go?
A name tag in cs go is a special mark that is applied to a weapon. There you can write what you want. I'll explain now. When you have a weapon in your hands, you can see its name in the lower right corner, for example, “awp jellyfish”. If you buy a name tag, then instead of this inscription you can add something of your own. For example, you can write “label by DrikWater” and this inscription will be displayed instead of the name of the weapon.
What does entry kill mean in cs go?
To understand this concept, we first need to know who an entry fragger is. Entry fragger is the main player of the team, often acting alone and using an AK-47 or emka (depending on the side he plays for). Accordingly, an entry kill is when an entry fragger is the first to kill the enemy, opening the kill count in the round.
What is tick rate in cs go?
Tickrate is a unit of measurement for the speed of sending and receiving data from the server. Measured in seconds. The norm is considered to be a tick rate of 128.
What is a trigger in cs go?
Trigger bot is a cheat that starts shooting itself immediately after you aim at the enemy's head. Those. As soon as an enemy hits your sight, the trigger goes off and the weapon starts firing. This is a less subtle cheat than aim, but it’s still a cheat and if you use it, you’ll still end up getting a vac ban.
What is rage in cs go?
Rage in CS is a cheat equipped with a full set of “tools” - aim, wallhack, jumping. In principle, there is nothing to add here. Don't use cheats if you don't want to get banned from the game.
What is CD ratio in cs go?
K/D Ratio (short for kill/deadth) is the ratio of the number of kills to the number of deaths. If you like, this is your efficiency. The higher this value, the more benefit (on average) a player brings to the team.
What is a report in cs go?
A report is a complaint against a player for using cheats or insults during mm. A report bot is a special program that accepts requests for reports and forwards them to Valve.
What does private rank mean in cs go?
A private rank is a separate rank of a player, upon reaching which a new drop is issued. You've probably seen a special icon located near your nickname. Unlike a regular rank, it reflects not so much the player’s skill as the number of hours he spends in the game. Private rank increases in any mode (not just mm).
What is bloom effect?
Bloom effect in KS (bloom effect) is a blurry soap effect on the screen, designed to add brightness to the picture. Some people like him, some don't. In cs go, the bloom effect can be disabled using the mat_disable_bloom 1 command.
What is mouse acceleration in cs go?
Mouse acceleration is a feature that speeds up mouse movement. The faster you move the mouse, the stronger its sensitivity will be. Usually in CS it is recommended to turn it off so that, regardless of the sharpness of the mouse movement, its speed is the same. You can disable it using the commands -noforcemaccel -noforcemparms –noforcemspd (write to the console).
What is an open frag in cs go?
An open frag is the first frag in a round. It is also called the opener. As a rule, it gives a fairly significant advantage to one of the teams and that is why open fraggers play one of the key roles in their team (as a rule, these are snipers).
What does it mean to push in cs go?
You can often hear “don’t push” in mm. This phrase means that you should wait for the enemy, and not go towards him. This is especially true when playing as counter-terrorists. If they tell you “don’t push,” then simply take a position that is advantageous for yourself and hold the point, rather than running to the enemy’s base, where they are waiting for you.
What is a Gabe egg in cs go?
The Gabe egg is a common myth. Once upon a time, the famous YouTuber sugar made a video of how he “allegedly” crafted it using 10 knives. The video, of course, is fake and there is no Gabe egg. You can search the Internet if you are interested in this topic.
What does lan mean in cs go?
Lan is when players play on a lan network, i.e. everyone is in the same building. An example of a LAN network is a computer club.
What does solo mean?
You can often hear the phrase “I’ll go play solo” or simply “I’ll go solo.” Solo essentially means “alone.” If you hear from a friend that he is going solo, it means he started the skating rink without you. If this happens in mm, then he is probably going to rush into the opponents alone, without the support of teammates.
What does nt mean?
Nt is short for nice try, which can be translated as “good try.” Usually, teammates (and sometimes opponents) use this phrase to encourage each other when they see how someone tried to pull out a round or in some other way benefit the team.
What does rep mean in cs go?
Rep in cs go is reputation. If they write +rep to you, it means that they are giving you a plus in your reputation (consider it praising), and if –rep, it means that the person was dissatisfied with something.
What is a smurf in cs go?
Smurf is an experienced player who plays at the lower ranks. In fact, this is practically the same as a booster (a person who increases ranks). An example of a smurf would be a player with the title of big star, who bought a new account and now rides silvers. The motives of such players are not fully understood. Some people like to get high, some people like to boost, and some people just want to stroke their ego. It also happens that he is simply in a party with weak players (for example, his friends are silvers, and he himself is a golden eagle).
What does ty mean in cs go?

If someone tells you, “stop ruining the skating rink” or “he’s ruining it,” then this means that you or someone else is deliberately ruining the game.

Sometimes this happens when someone bombs from their teammates and says that ml “since you play so poorly, I won’t try at all for my team.”

Picking means checking for an opponent. I'll explain now. You can often hear the phrase “don’t pick” in mm.

If you pick, your opponents can quickly understand what is going on and your attack may become ineffective.

Boost is an increase in your rank in cs go by another player (more powerful). When they say “you’re crazy,” they mean that you didn’t achieve such a rank yourself, but asked someone on the side to pump you up (or played with cool teammates who pulled out the rollers themselves without your participation).
What does global mean in cs go?
Global is the last rank in cs go, the highest. After achieving it, it is no longer possible to further raise your rank. In fact, having become a global, you can consider that you have completed cs go. Then you can go play on faceit, where semi-professional players sit.
What does faceit mean in cs go?
Faceit is a special server where strong cs go players play (usually those who have already reached global). They do not belong to Valve and are paid. The advantage of faceit is that there are practically no cheaters there, almost always adequate teammates (many foreign ones), people play well and servers with a tick rate of 128 (which ensures a smooth game).
What does ez mean in cs go?
Ez – short for easy, translated from English as “easy”. Usually they write this at the end of the MM, as if to say that the skating rink was easy (we won with ease). By the way, they often write this even when the score is 16:14, as if teasing the opponents.

What is a deck in cs go?
A decoy is a decoy grenade. It cannot cause damage to the opponent (although it still takes 1 HP when hit). Its essence is that when you throw it, it begins to “emulate” the sounds of gunfire and appears on the radar as an enemy. Essentially, it serves to mislead opponents (but, to be honest, this can only work on complete beginners).
What is calibration in cs go?
Surely everyone has heard this word, but not everyone knows. Calibration is when you don't have a title yet. It was invented so that experienced players could immediately get a higher rank, and not start climbing from silver. If my memory serves me correctly, you need to play 10 games and your account will be calibrated.
With the advent of a game like Dota 2, the world of eSports has changed dramatically. The game quickly overwhelmed the most different countries, conquered almost all age categories, forced women and men, Russians, Americans, etc., to come together on the same battlefield. People from different parts of the Earth came together on one map, and all in order to find out which of them is stronger!
Language problems
With the globalization of the game, many problems arose, especially in the early days. Once upon a time, Dota 2 was just a map for such a big game as Warcraft III. It was constantly evolving and very quickly captured the attention of players. The standard language for both the game itself and the individual map was English; translation began much later. But even after translating both the game itself and this map into many languages of the world, some problems with communication still remained. For example, players from Russia, even with perfect knowledge of English, could not understand players from China or Italy (just like those Russians).
The beginning of the way
When the game grew into a separate eSports discipline, the problem only worsened. It was then decided to use standard abbreviations for the game, which would always be the same, regardless of the language of the region. For such abbreviations it was chosen English language(after all, everything was based on it). These abbreviations were taken from other well-known games that have long become familiar eSports disciplines. The most prominent game back then was StarCraft, where players first began using such abbreviations to indicate the start/end of a match. For example: gg, gl hf. What are these abbreviations? This is a standard abbreviation of the first letters of expressions. GG - good game (good game), good luck and have fun (good luck and fun) - gl hf. Dota 2 thus received a specific set of abbreviations, available to all players, understood anywhere in the world. Although not everyone understood such abbreviations right away. Many people have asked what gl hf means or what gg is.
Originally from here
However, there are expressions in the game that originated in it and then only migrated to other games in the MOBA genre. For example, the well-known abbreviation ss, which tells that the enemy (enemy hero) has left the line (as you know, there are three lines in Dota). This is an abbreviation for the word miSSing (literally - to lose). Players slowly began to understand the abbreviations, now everyone knew what gl hf was: used to wish a good game. In addition, there is gaming etiquette that simply obliges players to write such abbreviations at a certain time point in the match. Thus, fans of this game around the world have learned to understand, albeit at the level of a few letters and simple expressions. This was already a big step forward. Of course, it was still problematic to play with allies from China, especially if you did not speak any one language (English, for example). But you could communicate in the most basic phrases with both your allies and opponents.
We are developing
Over time, these expressions became stable. Players began to use the expression gl hf so much that it was more like a greeting. Nowadays, this is how a match between two teams traditionally begins (with the expression gg, one team notifies that it has given up, or this abbreviation is used to indicate the end of the game).
The sociability of the game improves every year. For example, quite recently an option such as the “Chat Wheel” was added. When you press a certain key, a set of the most popular and necessary commands is displayed, which are automatically translated into all languages (if you come across players from another country). Our gl hf team is there too. What is this - a tribute to tradition, an indicator of good manners, or just an ordinary greeting? It's up to you to decide.
Quite a lot has changed with the advent of computer technology in our daily lives. People became more open and kind, much more sociable, and a feeling of compassion appeared not only for real people, but also for unreal characters.
