Counter-Strike: Global Offensive CS:GO Update 7/5/2016

[Medviah]

The blog fails to deliver once again with only a 5 mb update. So I'm pulling the notes from reddit again


Welcome to day 1 of fantasy points updates after the conclusion of the first match day of ESL One Cologne 2016: https://steamdb.info/app/730/history/

Size is close to 5 MB. Although unlikely, if it does happen, more info will be edited in if available.

• Here it is: https://github.com/SteamDatabase/GameTracking/commit/c16bd413095522f5a6beea569aea727d195b92de
  
• Your global ranking percentage may change wildly within the first few minutes - give it a little while before treating it as a firm number as the GC will have to churn through who's where globally
  
• To help you get used to these on a daily basis until the 10th, I'm going to include a random fact of my choosing for each day, but we'll start in the realm of sanity first as I can't think of anything currently. Today's topic is CS:GO's concurrent player count.

Random stuff:

• Did you know that CS:GO for the first time since 5/15/16 broke 600K concurrent players?
• Stay tuned for tomorrow's random fact, which probably won't involve CS:GO at all

Instead of posting a new thread for each update you should just post in the same thread. or have a stickied thread, just an idea.

Thx for the info!

or just tell everyone they can view the udpates at http://blog.counter-strike.net/ and ignore these updates that aren't there because they do literally nothing

We don't need an additional sticky for updates and they are typically spaced far enough away. It's only rare times, like the past two days, where we had multiple updates in a row.

I post the updates, even these small ones, in case someone is curious about the information. Like "what did the update include and what not". I'll probably skip out on updates that are lower the 10 mb in the future though. Volvo is mysterious and is slowly including source 2

I already like the way Medviah posts the updates, as it allows people to discuss what Valve has done.

Much like how we were able to give our opinion on the new sounds that were introduced.

I'll vape to that.
