CS Skin Market Update - Week 15 of 2024 | Cheats and market both thrive!?

Welcome to SkinomiCS2's weekly update, covering the CS2 scene from April 7th to 14th, 2024. This episode features an Overpass-themed sticker craft and tackles a hidden game update by Valve aimed at addressing a significant cheating exploit. Despite the lack of public game updates, the market has seen a 2.09% increase, driven by heightened activity around IEM Chengdu, influencing various skin categories including non-active cases and knives and gloves, alongside fluctuations in agent skins and sticker capsules.
In game news, we dissect the ramifications of a newly patched exploit that allowed players to manipulate in-game visibility, an issue Valve addressed quietly but that led to harsh penalties from third-party platforms like Faceit. This week's skin news focuses on ongoing challenges in peer-to-peer trading and a rising threat from QR code scams that compromise user security.
Wrapping up with the pro scene, IEM Chengdu's finals are set with MOUZ and Faze contending for the title, alongside notable incidents and match-fixing bans that continue to shape the competitive landscape. Stay tuned for continued insights, and as always, happy trading as we navigate the evolving world of CS2!

Skinomi, what was the change that valve made that affected P2P trading sites?

[@SkinomiCS2]

Hey mate, it's in last week's update if you want a more detailed version.
But basically they updated the game a bit over a week ago so that newly traded skins will be invisible to anyone else for 10 days.
This means that peer to peer websites are unable to confirm trades. However, Buff uses log in cookies so they can directly see your inventory. This method is a bit more dangerous to the user but Buff is a very big company.
The update was mainly to combat gambling websites which typically use peer to peer.
Hope this helps.

Thanks everyone for the support on the last video, really appreciate the view and comments. I'll be here to answer to any suggestions for improvement or questions you may have.
Hopefully no one scanned the QR code as I suggested not to in this week's video. XD.

Great content, earned a sub. Like Jave suggested, i would appreciate longer videos. All the best with the channel.

[@SkinomiCS2]

Thank you mate

[@PotatoNuts]

Very nice video, well made and good narration. Finally some newer content

[@SkinomiCS2]

Thanks mate, more to come! 😁

[@mariusmarita5963]

Great video, can i ask you from which site you get all market changes, skin prices... ?

[@SkinomiCS2]

Buff 163, this is usually the best source for cash price as it is the most liquid market. Although this is not accessible to many Western viewers as the currency is CNY.

[@moritzsu120]

nice informative Video but maybe you could give us a little bit more energy in the way you are talking and the buzzing sound in the background is kinda annoying

[@SkinomiCS2]

I'll try to fix the buzzing. I'm using a hyper x solo at the moment. I'll buy a better mic when I have a bit more money.
In terms of energy, not really my style if I'm being honest. I'll try my best though.
Thanks for your view and suggestion mate.

[@august4life509]

I scanned the QR code in the video and I regret it 😅

[@SkinomiCS2]

XD

[@forejs3050]

I would really appreciate if the video was louder

[@SkinomiCS2]

Alright, I'll turn up the mic next week, although do check your speaker though, seems to be mostly okay my end. Thanks mate

[@ulaga9166]

@@SkinomiCS2 just compared it to another video and it is indeed a bit more quieter and there is some humming + something like a smartphone noise. tbh i only noticed after reading this comment but its there...

thanks for letting me know. I'll up the volume next time. That should be relatively easy.
Will try to figure it out with the humming as well. Using a hyper x solo atm, I think I just need to get a better mic. Thanks for confirming mate. Appreciate it.
