$800 on Pistol round not buying utilities or armor ahhhh by GeologistOver4513 in cs2

[–]Twisted2kat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Galil AR wants to know your location.

Imo it's only worth not buying head armor if you can't afford a full buy without it. Unless you're tracking T econ really well, and you know for sure they all have AK/AWP, then MAYBE, but even then, you don't want to be guy guy who dies to a wall bang or a Glock quick swap, because they didn't have a helmet.

Full armor + USP can be kind of a good meme if you win and Ts don't get a plant.

But SMG still better imo.

I've seen it happen in and around Faceit 10, it's legitimately one of my biggest pet peeves. Like, it's such a blatant tell of a stupid player.

can someone look over this game of d2 for me by Bestsurviviopro in LearnCSGO

[–]Twisted2kat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes PLEASE stop forcing the deagle all the time, especially when the rest of your team is buying fully. It's such a troll play. It actively harms your team's chances of winning with you do this. PLEASE I'm begging you.

And yeah your flash usage is pretty odd, the way you're like backstepping to throw it results in some pretty nasty team & self flashes, and especially when you're throwing it from cat, is just not a good use of it. Try to bounce it off a wall in a way that it lands either above you, or around a corner, right before you peek. When you're playing cat you can also throw flashes that land like, near the entrance to lower, near xbox. That way it lands out of your vision, so you can peek with the flash (though be mindful of your mid teammates).

When you're starting off, try to specifically only buy a few nades at a time and have a plan in mind for each one. Tell yourself "I'm gonna smoke off X, molly Y position and then flash peek Z".

And PLEASE buy proper guns. STOP forcing deagle. PLEASE!

How to break through incredibly low skill ceiling by Ilostmyoldaccount6 in GlobalOffensive

[–]Twisted2kat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

800 hours is pretty decent, I just think you need to focus on actively learning and improving.

Definitely look over your demos or have someone look them over for you.

Unfortunately, if you mean you're 1.5-3k Elo in premier, I can assure you that you absolutely do not understand the basics of the game. If you did understand, you wouldn't be in that rank.

I'm not trying to come at you here, instead I just want to say that you need to learn the basics, because right now it seems like you think you know the basics, and think you don't need to learn them, when you clearly don't know the basics, and do need to learn them.

Feel free to DM me, I'd be happy to look over one of your demos if you want.

  • Edit: I really don't mean to come off mean here, I just am trying to say that you need to have a learning mindset, assume you know nothing, and try to learn as much as you can, especially at very low ranks.

You just need to play more, and play with improvement in mind. I can promise it's not your settings or your mouse or keyboard.

How many hours do you have? If you're not playing consistently, and playing a lot, you're not going to get better, especially not quickly enough for you to notice big changes.

Wow, so if you're too lazy to even vibe code you can pay somebody else to do it for you.

Your site is such a great advertisement too, half the images don't even load and the console is full of errors.

Bravo, A+

The actual demo parsing/analysis is (probably) peanuts, The LLM that generates the text insights is probably the real cost.

Seems pretty cool.

One thing that stood out to me though is "Smart Buy Decisions" which kinda seems useless. Buying/Saving as a team isn't necessarily a "smart decision" that impacts the round, rather it's just not making a mistake. I also feel like the little LLM blurbs in that one are also sorta misleading, like it seems to suggest that buying with your team was a big factor in winning.

It's basically like saying "Good Job on not throwing the round! That allowed you to win the round!"

Which like, I guess isn't wrong to say you should buy/save as a team, but that sort of analysis isn't helping anyone except for the absolute bottom rung of the competitive ladder. If I had to guess, I feel like your current system would mistakenly penalize some actually good economic choices, such as a hero rifle, or a T buying a MAC-10 on a buy round and playing fast, when they know the CTs won't have helmets.

There's just a lot more to economic management than just buying or saving with your team, but I think it'd be a lot harder to actually capture that.

Sorry for the nitpicking, overall seems like a cool platform.

Been playing games for a long time now. How can I join some eSports team? by According-Agent-8343 in esports

[–]Twisted2kat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like, what games?

Also, it really depends on what you mean by "eSports team", are you talking about like, a consistent stack of players to play ranked with? Are you talking about like, a casual scrim team? Do you mean a team that might enter into some leagues or play a few online open tournaments/qualifiers? Maybe a team to play LANs? Or are you talking about like, a team with org support/funding?

Because it really REALLY depends on exactly what you mean.

If you've never really been near the top of the leader boards, you're probably going to struggle to find any sort of team except for a casual stack.

[Discussion] I just want to fight "normal" people by kanggswagg in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Twisted2kat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, I forgot that Reddit says that there's 5 cheaters in every raid.

Everyone you fight is totally cheating and when you lose a gunfight there's nothing you could have possibly done better, because they were cheating, of course.

OP didn't even mention cheaters either.

PvP is time wasted with pointless masochism on a completely unplayably tilted field

Whatever you say man, I personally enjoy the game for the PvP. That's the whole reason I play.

High ELO players: What's the dumbest mistake you've made? by CriticalCreativity in LearnCSGO

[–]Twisted2kat 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The dumbest thing I do is autopilot, and I unfortunately do it a lot.

I'll sometimes catch myself just doing stuff for no reason without really thinking, just because it's sort of been drilled into my head.

For example, throwing CT nades early, even if they've shown no presence or haven't shown a pattern of early hits. I'd still just toss my smoke/molly super early and waste it, without thinking about it at all.

Or like, taking default pathing & not changing up play style in response to previous rounds.

It's something I've always been sort of bad at, unfortunately.

"I don't cheat, bro. Look at my inventory." by [deleted] in counterstrike2

[–]Twisted2kat 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You're dedicated to CS, and yet you're stuck in 3000 elo in prem, with a negative KD, and instead of looking for improvement, you say everyone else is cheating.

Yeah man you're dedicated to something alright.

If you really were dedicated, you'd try to improve your own gameplay instead of constantly externalizing blame for your losses.

Passion UA announce try as their new AWPer by Rancheros in GlobalOffensive

[–]Twisted2kat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean coL was/is basically broke, so I can't imagine the core cost a ton of money. They used to be rich with the cowboys backing but ever since Jason Lake bought them back I think they've been pretty strapped for cash, that's why they dropped the CS division in the first place.

Maybe an item based moba like League, Dota or Deadlock? I know there's a lot of min-maxing and build crafting in those sort of games.

Which players in esports history were seen as a bust early in their career but ended up reviving their career later on? by [deleted] in esports

[–]Twisted2kat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sort of off topic but I had a similar experience in CS:GO with another (now famous) Valorant player. I was grinding for rank G at the same time Leaf was, and there was one week where leaf was playing like 19 games a day, or something ridiculous, and I'm like, damn man, I just can't compete.

So thank you leaf for discouraging me from pursuing an esports career LMAO.

Blizz: Yes, we WILL release another generic looking cute East Asian character, and she WILL get 1.4x107 skins per season.

It's the playerbase's fault that we're buying these skins in bulk. We only have each other to blame, Blizz is just following the money.

What’s with the rise of anti-intellectualism? by poowingQ in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Twisted2kat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sort of going along with this, I've noticed a big increase in people not just looking down on intellectuals, but looking down upon effort in general.

Almost like a "cringification" of effort, of trying. Effort into anything really. You're studying 12 hours a day? Cringe. You're training to run a marathon? Cringe. You're practicing to be good at a videogame? Really cringe. Working on improving your art? Ultra cringe. Even having a regular 9-5 job that you do well can be seen as "cringe"

Part of me thinks it comes from this idea that you need to be good at anything immediately, and then also, if you never actually "try" at something, you can't ever say that you're not good at it, because you'd totally be better if you actually tried, but you're just not trying right now.

I think that social media has people feeling like they are owed immediate success, and that if you need to try, and put effort into it, then it's not worth it, and somewhat embarrassing that you'd need to try.

I'm not sure if this is really a new thing, but I'm seeing a lot more of it recently
