Premier Season 4 is now finished and the game mode is locked

This happened roughly around 10 to 15 minutes ago. Nobody can queue for a Premier game until the next season starts.

Before season 4 ends, valve removed seeing the top 100 players on premier leaderboard for season 4

Before premier season 4 ends today, if you have an active CS rating now, you can only see +/- 50 ranks above and below you on your own regional and world leaderboard.

You can't even see the regional leaderboard in other regions, for example: if you're in europe, then you can't see the north america or asia leaderboard.

In previous seasons you were able to see the top 100 ranked premier players but not for season 4. Also you were able to see the leaderboards for regions outside your own in seasons 1 to 3.

What does it mean when a player leaves by "loop deactivated"? How is it different from a "disconnected by user" message?

In 2018, a HLTV user correctly predicted the CSGO Boston major final round score for each map, who wins each map and map win order. He was awarded $50 by HLTV admin Tgwri1s for this prediction.

Some guy on HLTV correctly predicted the 2018 CSGO Boston major final round score for each map, who won each map and in what order the teams win each map. What made this prediction extremely lucky is he even got the correct final map overtime score 22-19 for Cloud 9. The odds of this must be ludicrous.

It was such an incredible prediction that the HLTV admin Tgwri1s gave him $50 for it.

I finally noticed crouching reduces screen shake from firing guns.

When you shoot a gun then your screen shakes, it turns out that crouching reduces this screenshake.

Is this a mistake in Clayden Organic Chemistry book regarding this "diastereomer"?

Clayden, Greeves and Warren Organic Chemistry book says this ether molecule is a diastereomer. The definition of a diastereomer is it's a non superimpoisable non-mirror image.

But I would argue that this is actually an enantiomer because it is a non superimposable mirror image. You can't have a molecule that is both an enantiomer and diasteroisomer at the same time.

Is this a mistake by the book or am I wrong?

Take for example, a simple chemical reaction used in old fashioned lamps before the invention of electrically powered lights.

The correct equation is:

Calcium carbide + water -> Acetylene gas + calcium hydroxide

CaC2 + 2H2O -> C2H2 + Ca(OH)2

Acetylene gas is the desired product used to create a flammable source for a spark.

However, I would argue another balanced equation is possible giving a calcium oxide side product.

CaC2+ H2O -> C2H2 + CaO

Both equations are balanced, both Ca(OH)2 and CaO are real compounds. But why is only the calcium hydroxide side product correct? Is there a way to rationalise which chemical equations are correct?

Edit: fixed balancing

I always thought that if you let your Premier CS rating go inactive so it becomes hidden then when you win a premier match then your CS rating would decrease by some amount.

I didn't even lose a single premier match after letting my rank hide, I won my first match after my rank was hidden and got an extra +590 CS rating compared to my old rating number.

If Valve added a forced AC like Valorant's Vanguard to CS2 so you always need it running to play Counter Strike 2 and give it root level access to your computer, how would you react?
