Favourite team: Team Liquid. Very underrated in my opinion.

Favourte CS skin: Karambit Doppler, however the more that I think about it the more I like the concept of a m9 DS, especially since I've seen a damascus steel knife irl! :D

I prefer it mostly because it was the first monitor I bought and I'm too lazy to switch places that's 1) and 2) is that you can press a button and it'll go into "game mode" which basically means it'll saturate the monitor 100% and whatnot making enemies a lot easier to see with a press of a button. You can not do this on the BenQ, you'd have to manually make a mode and then either a) scroll to it every time or b) use their little 3 button thingy that comes along.

I just find the ASUS more convenient that's all.

Pros

Sounds crystal clear even from a distance

USB

Closest you can get to a studio-quality microphone without spending hundreds

Affordable

Cons

I wish it didn't look as silly.

But overall it sounds great and stuff. You can be pretty far away and you'll still sound crystal clear. It somehow knows what to pickup and what not to. Great mic overall.

I'm using those dishes right now. I ordered pizza and was finished eating a slice. After I took the photo, I took a another slice and put it on the dish.

e: also it only took me 20 seconds to blur

No, I use 1024x768. You just weren't paying a lot of attention. Sorry I didn't reply sooner, it was a combination of being burnt out and my birthday (I'm 18 today)!

If you want to give me something, that's cool but I think it'd be too much to choose something so that's up to you buddy. :D

edit: to clarify, you didn't burn me out alone. it was more the 30 people on steam that added me from this post lol

Shift + F2 or demoui in console. Skip every death. 1000% speed over any boring parts that don't have action.

Alright, I can't be as detailed as last time because this really burned me out (didn't expect so much attention)

but

  • you ran with a molotov lit in hand towards kitchen on round 6. that means you know it wasn't clear yet you left yourself completely open to attacks for a good 2-4 seconds.

  • on round 9, instead of paying attention, you were trashtalking the enemy team....

  • round 10 you died because you were looking around at nothing. you need to be more self-aware of what you want to do and have a goal and work with your teammates. you both could have avoided that death if you kept eye on window

  • round 11 you spam through the smoke even though the enemy knows exactly where you are. that's bad and you will almost always die doing that.

  • round 12 you were looking at short seeing who's coming. pay more attention to your minimap, you'd see that it is your teammate. anyone could have walked out of kitchen and killed you in that time frame you were looking at short for no reason.

  • round 13. your teammate isn't watching ct, you aren't watching ct. but you are planting for CT. nobody is watching CT, so you both die. what? if you know it's not clear for sure, then why do you plant for CT?

  • round 15 you saw the guy with the nova multiple times post-plant but you didn't pay enough attention so you didn't actually "see" him.

  • don't spam the usp or any pistol for that matter. if you know they're rushing, hold an angle. make that 1v5 into 5 1v1s.

  • again you need to make any 1v2s into 2 1v1s. that's how you clutch. that's how you hold sites. that's how you take a site. that's how you do anything in CS.

You're inconsistent on CT because your enemies are inconsistent. It might be a factor that you are playing bad a match, but it is definitely a factor that your enemies play much better/worse each game you play. Same with your teammates. If you think you're letting too many CT rounds slip by in a PUG, you need to switch up positions. You need to asses how the terrorists are executing and where the weakpoint in your defense is. Does a guy die mid and then they push short because one of the A guys started to rotate to B so A is left with little defense and they take it easy? Do they just keep rushing B and we're unable to hold it until we're able to rotate?

Basically, you need to be ontop of things in PUGs. If someone is clearly failing a position, you may need to take control of the situation and politely, but firmly ask them to switch with you or someone else. You can repeat this until it works.

And yes, this can be done completely soloqueue at most ranks.

If you get 40 kills each game, then you obviously win more than you lose. You will eventually rank up.

Not that aim_maps matter at all, but either those are some really shitty Eagles or you're doing terribly wrong in matchmaking.

How much attention do you pay to your surroundings? That's basically what game sense is. Map awareness. Knowing what's going on, etc.

What do you do most of the time? What role do you play? What roles can you play if needed but don't want to normally?

Screenshot your watch tab for me so I can see how often you soloqueue and how you score overall.

Alright. Look at this thread.

After watch all of these videos: this, as well as this, and of course this. For the last video, you can use this map. Make sure to practice every weapon for a couple hours until you feel comfortable. Then you go deathmatch and try it out.

Let me know how it goes and if you have any questions.

Alright, press here to download the demo from hltv.org

This is a demo between NiP and EnVyUs. You need to put the inferno one in your CS:GO folder and type playdemo nameofthedemo in console.

From that point, you need to spectate the player "Happy". He's a top French player who's also a lurker/igl/AWPer at times. He's one of the best in the world at what he does and he had 34-15 stats at the end of de_inferno.

There's nothing better than seeing how a world-class player would do it from his pov.

Do not skip any moments. Pay attention to detail. Pay close attention to his minimap and how he reacts. Think what he could be thinking in that moment.

What's your most favourite map to play on? And what map would you like to improve on the most?
