Rumor has it:
- In case you didn't believe Valve about stacking teammates in casual, mp_solid_teammates has been switched to 2 - have fun boosting your teammates (literally!)
- Now that the FACEIT Major has finished, the default landing page on the Watch tab has been adjusted to the global live matches tab. But if you sign up within the next 4 minutes, you get James White's Best Christmas Songs, and a watermelon signed by Dan Black for free!
- Speaking of the FACEIT Major, the in-game Champion and Finalist trophies have been updated. Inscribed into CS:GO history on the Champion trophy is Astralis and their squad, and inscribed on the Quarter-/Semi-/Finalist trophy are the names of the teams that advanced to the main event (the latter of which is awarded individually based on how far they got and named accordingly)
- If you go to a pro profile and inspect one of these trophies, you may notice a slight problem now that we're in a post-Scaleform world: you can't spin the trophy around completely to read everything on it (in Scaleform, it did so on its own), and in some situations the text on trophies can be hard to read (in Scaleform, the inspection periodically zoomed in and out)
- Here's an even bigger problem than that: can you spot what's wrong with the Champion trophy?
- This is the first time that Office has gotten an update since 5/29/15 (5/30/15 UTC), or 1223 days. The last time it was updated, it was to fix a bad nav mesh spot
- Otherwise, it's a bunch of script updates to accommodate the new FBI CT models and localization
- Oh, one other thing, not that Source 2 might be a certainty anytime soon, Source 2-style dates/times have been added to the csgo_english file
- Size is ~120 MB
