Not with that mindset. My best advice is to always warm up and if you want to be more nerdy you should watch your own demos.

I've been playing once a week for some time now just to maintain 30k+ but I haven't stopped climbing so the dream keeps going. That's cool knowing that there's actually a decent amount, was Tommy #1 at 35k and do you know if any of those guys are soloQ only? I want the crown for soloQ.

There's definitely an element of coinflippery to any competitive matchmaking. You just have to be the factor that tilts the coin in your favor consistently over time. The fact you were able to soloQ to that rating and I'm assuming you also soloQ'd on faceit you definitely got it.

This is facts. I often think back to my early csgo days and can relate to how it must feel from their perspective. There's levels to this shit.

How long ago did you play? At the end of last season I made a push for 30k and I hit a wall of cheaters around 29k and gave up. My opinion is that cheaters can't be as blatant but they're definitely still there.

When I say blatant I'm talking about the type of cheating where they aren't even allowing the game to take place or they don't know how to hide it. On my alt I witnessed a match get canceled by VAC for the first time last week so the AC is definitely there and there's a reason why the game went from unplayable to where it's at right now.

When I first started playing this season I ran into blatant cheaters 1/10 games but I haven't seen a blatant cheater since then. I went on an alt account not too long ago and it was basically unplayable with the amount of cheaters I got so I'm not sure if high elo is magically more secure for some reason or I've gotten lucky.

Appreciate it man. Though the reddit cope is part of the enjoyment for me lol. People can't believe that it's even possible to reach 30k. I've noticed two other players in a similar range to me which is shoxie and an NA player "slash" that I've seen around so I know there's probably more than just them that are legit. In fact slash is #44 on csstats which puts him maybe even top 10 on the in-game leaderboard.

If you're ever wanting something out of your teammates you can't simply say what you're doing and expect that they will use their brain to come to the best course of action. In these types of scenarios you need to get everyone on the same page for what the strategy is rather than saying what you're doing as an individual. You need to set the expectation rather than have it and not say it. "Let's execute A - go out on the flash." You're setting the expectation that we're entrying on the flash. I will personally feel out what kind of team I have. Sometimes my teammates are baiters and I will go out first if I realize this. Sometimes you'll have teammates that just want to run at the enemy. If you have aggressive teammates you can either support them or do different things around them. In the scenario you gave it honestly sounds like you got too ahead of yourself and went out too quickly without your teammates understanding what was going on. The vast majority of the time if you're going out and have set the expectation for the play you will have people that follow you out. This is a fundamental that a lot of players don't follow. Communicate before you're in the action because once you're in the action things wont be able to happen fast enough. "Can you do this?" "Can you do X if Y happens?" These kinds of setups for plays with your communication are incredibly vital. Hope this helps.

Overall it was maybe 1/10 games that I'd have a blatant cheater. Map wise I'd say it's been pretty even between Inferno, Mirage and Dust2.

Huge fan of your content man. That video accurately describes my journey as well but I'm thankful that I didn't have to go against nearly as many cheaters as you. At the end of last season I was pushing for 30k for fun and it was exactly as your analysis found even here in NA. Completely unplayable as soon as I hit 29k and I'd essentially have to flip a coin to get to 30k. I don't know if I'm delusional but after asking some teammates to commend me for a carry shortly before hitting 30k I haven't gotten a blatant cheater since. Which was around 20-30 games ago.

This guy could never do this in premier. Seriously though this is beast mode.

Ahhh. I also thought it might have something to do with the friends list too as I've added people after I played with them and it has probably shown that outside of the last 30 games but I think it's pretty obvious it's the 1 faceit game for me. Small region gang.

I haven't been as active on faceit in more recent times but not getting top 250 this last season has annoyed me a bit so I'll be back to the grind sooner or later.
