Hey everyone,
I've been working on something solo for a while now and I think it's ready for people to try. It's called CSGOPremier.com, a competitive matchmaking platform for CSGO.
I started building this because I missed what made CSGO feel special and valve completely abandoned the game. CS2 is fine but it never quite scratched that itch for me, so I figured I'd try to build something that did. I've built a medium-size CSGO matchmaking platform before so this isn't my first go at it, but it's the one I've put the most into.
To celebrate the launch I'm hosting a 5v5 tournament this Saturday (March 21st) at 8:30 PM CET on EU servers. Single elimination, 16 team slots, open to anyone for free. Signups close at 8 PM. Just make an account and register your team.
Here's what's in there right now:
- Competitive matchmaking for 1v1, 2v2 and 5v5 with ELO-based ratings like Premier, but you can also pick classic ranks
- 128-tick servers across NA, EU and Asia because that's what CSGO deserved
- Map veto and side picks like Premier mode
- A skin/inventory system that syncs with your real CS2 skins so they actually show up again in CSGO, this one was a pain to build but worth it
- Daily missions with rewards for playing
- An Overwatch-style review system so experienced players can help keep things clean, just like the old days
- Tournaments with single and double elimination brackets across all modes
I'm not trying to replace CS2 or anything. I just love this game and wanted to build something the community could enjoy. Would love to see some of you Saturday, or just try it whenever and let me know what you think.
