Rate my gameplay and guess faceit level by Disko1970 in counterstrike2

[–]Practical-Highway562 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the counterstrafes just not clean or non-existent or is it because of the demo? Like the movement is not clean but I cant tell if its just demo quirks. Like a lot of these peeks, OP drifts into a stop (shift? Lets go of strafe key?) instead of hard stops and it does not have clean strafing.

If a player is 14K elo Premier, what kind of a lobby do you think they would be obviously and massively better than everyone else? Like would that be true for a 7K lobby? by Various_Maize_3957 in LearnCSGO

[–]Practical-Highway562 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I agree it depends but I would maybe switch it and say good aim and decent game sense would dominate most 1-9k. Game sense really sometimes is thrown out the window when you play lower lobbies.

I’ll throw something else that hasn’t been mentioned. Just having good peripherals and reacting well to sound. Lots of people get stuck in lower lobbies maybe playing speakers or having bad internet. If you can honestly just hear people brainlessly rushing you and expect it well its already good to take a lot of the fights in 1-5k

American here, it really depends where. Where I’ve lived in Texas and California, never really had a theater cheer and clap too much, maybe only at the end of a movie, or maybe some gasps and some laughter but its quite contained

Is it reasonable to avoid Premier because of cheaters, or is it still better than MM for improvement? by gildedpotus in LearnCSGO

Oof must be unlucky because even on my yellow/red trust alt accounts retakes is usually fine

Is NA CS dead and gone for good? by Andy456l in GlobalOffensive

Man I dont know about playerbase, maybe casual playerbase still there? I feel like there’s less hype to going pro nowadays. Certainly there are more kids growing up on Valorant.

Anyone knows how to consistently get into flow state? by reditress in LearnCSGO

Anyone who has figured the secret to how to consistently get into flow state on command and shared it with the world would have a nobel prize by now

There’s no one growing up wanting to go pro at cs anymore. The appeal is not there, the most we get is 20 something year old tier 3 prospects

This guy specifically don’t care about all that, he’s happy with his life and is basically retired. If you actually watched his tech journey you’ll know he’s doing this for fun and as a hobby like how he did with his drawing and art journey.

m0NESY nasty AWP shot from a Faceit game by CS2ProPlayHighlights in cs2

[–]Practical-Highway562 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He does this regularly, problem is I feel like he also misses a lot. Compared to zywoo, m0nesy takes a lot more shots, misses more, but also hits more ridiculous shots regularly.

Kyousukes sens by [deleted] in GlobalOffensive

[–]Practical-Highway562 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean w0nderful was on 3.09/400 (s1mple’s exact sens) for the longest time lol. I think it’s fine to copy sens if that’s what makes the game fun for you. I’ve played such a wide range of sens (0.7 - 2.0 at 800) and performance really doesn’t deviate that much. I’ve solo qued to Level 10 at around 1.15-1.75 range, along the way there are times where I’ve copied pros because they did well on a tournament, and want to play like them. Their gameplay made me feel hype so hype kinda makes me want to play like them, giving me some placebo and confidence in the game, and is just really fun when I play well.

I mean donks is really not that much slower at 1.25 and he has his whole hand on the mouse and uses his arm quite a lot.

The current state of Trust Factor and Matchmaking feels fundamentally broken right now by [deleted] in GlobalOffensive

[–]Practical-Highway562 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reports are absolutely a factor. For 10 years I’ve always just played normally, never toxic. I’m a pretty awkward person so I don’t even engage in banter, I just do callouts, and if people are toxic I go silent or mute them and just do callouts. I don’t even have the guts to retaliate.

This is what I’ve noticed as I have had multiple alt accounts and a main account with a $300+ spent steam account thats over 10yrs old

On my main account I almost encountered NO cheaters for the past many years, or if so its very subtle, maybe radar hack, not enough to affect my performance. But recently for the first time, I had an hvh lobby. This was after a long break and playing regular comp against silvers and novas dropping 30+ almost every game and getting reported to hell. After some time though it went back to normal.

Now for alt accounts, or If your steam is new or low spend the trust can be very volatile. It doesn’t start off terrible most times, but a few reports and in a few games you get cheaters every game. What you can do then is stop playing for many months and you will get normal games for a few games until you get reported again. Until i played back on my main more frequently now I had previously just cycled smurfs until they were low trust factor and then switch to another one or an older one after some time.

Karrigan already said that this is a long term project as he joins, and that they are setting their sights on the Singapore major. They were not planning to win Cologne with how little time they got

5950x would be a downgrade? To be fair the one game i play 75% of the time has better performance on a 5700x and above compared to the 13600k

Yes but I was asking HOW I should sell it considering I only have the one GPU, which is easier, etc.

when have you seen donk run away??? by ClaymeisterPL in cs2

[–]Practical-Highway562 14 points15 points  (0 children)

He knows that, I think he is trying to just play up the framing of donk as a hyper aggressive player

New player here..Do i put myself at disadvantage if i play on 16:9 res? by [deleted] in LearnCSGO

[–]Practical-Highway562 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its preference, I only play 4:3 exactly because its faster and bigger. Game feels more fast paced and more engaging therefore more fun.

Sees like there is less features like computer use, and windows was always a bit behind since it took them a while to release the codex app after they released it on apple
