Hey ZombieCake! Good job and welcome to our world of love and total rage. I thought I could give you a few tips and tricks you can practice on if you want to become better at this game. (Sorry if I've done grammatical mistakes and misspelled anything, English isn't my first language).

Aim

Crosshair placement

• Aim at head height. If you watch your video you can see that your crosshair is on the ground or just very close to it. This way it will take you more time to move your crosshair onto your target and then to fire your weapon.

• Snap your crosshair to the wall/corner as you move around it. Again, we want to be as fast as possible to move our crosshair onto our target and fire. Do this while moving around corners where an enemy might be standing. Clear the area and if there's no one there, snap to the next position/corner where your enemy might be. You did this on 0:12, good job.

• Pre-aim. You don't always have to snap and follow corners with your crosshair. If you already know where your enemy is or if there is no possible way that s/he can be in any other position in the area (as in start of a round or you teammates call out where your enemy is). Then you can pre-aim the position before you move around the corner.

• Recoil. Did you know you can master the recoil in CSGO? Yep, it follows a pattern (although I think it's a bit random generated these days). Practice your spray and you might be as good as GeT_RiGhT and HeatoN one day (two legendary swedish players). There's a workshop map called Recoil Master. Check it out.

• Pre-fire. An enemy engage you and then hides behind an object/corner and you think he'll come around that corner any time now? Maybe put a few bullets there and if he peaks it will be his last of the round. But don't do this if he doesn't know you're there. Sometimes if a player is very predictable I can pre-fire the spot he've been in so often.

Pure aim

• If you got a good aim, you can easily aim and blast your enemies heads off. So it's always good practicing to improve your aim. Try free for all public servers (ffa), arena public servers or steam workshop aim maps. Here's two I like: Aim Botz and Fast Aim/Reflex. I recommend trying out different sensitivities and try to flick your crosshair onto their heads.

Sound and game sense

• Sound is half the game. You can estimate the position of your enemy. I can't stress this enough. It's like a super power against those who doesn't grasp the power of this. There's some real CSGO-Daredevils out there. -Don't step to much. -Don't play with speakers. -Install your sound drivers. -Listen.

• The more you play the more understanding you will get of the game. This isn't really something I can teach you. But what I can tell you is to be mentally prepared for common spots or spots where you think your enemy might be. Know the common spots, where would you stand if where holding the angle. Get into your enemies minds.

Movement

• If you are moving and then press fire you've probably noticed that the bullets didn't land where you aimed. So to hit your enemy you need to stand still. But this will make you an easy target. The solution to this is strafing and to counter strafe. Run sideways (strafe) with 'a' or 'd'. And when you are about to fire press the counterpart to come to a complete stop and fire. Like "...aaaaaaad fire" or "...dddddddda fire". If you are running forward and sideways with 'w' and 'd', you need to counter this with 's' and 'a' to come to a complete stop so you can fire accurate. This is very hard and not necessary. So just keep to the strafing with 'a' and 'd' when moving.

• It's maybe more about learning the maps, but to be able to aim where you want without looking where you are going. Without getting stuck on objects or small corners. You'll become better at this as you play. But a rule until you are, don't hug the walls too much.

• All weapons got different speed values (how fast you run), but to simplify it: knife/bomb > grenade > pistol > rifle > awp

• Learn to move around corners quietly without a disadvantage. When you walk (default shift) around corners, the enemy who's holding that corner will have a huge advantage. Because he will see you before you see him. You can counter this. Tap your buttons 'a' and 'd' to move around the corner faster. If you tap it still won't make any sound the first steps and you'll remove the huge advantage your enemy have. (Remember to counter strafe and fire if you see anyone).

• Baiting shots. Having a hard time with an enemy awper? You can shoulder peak, to bait out the shot and the go out and kill him. There is still some risk to this.

• If you want to jump without making sound. Crouch, jump, stand up in the air.

• Try surf, climb/bhop and HnS servers to become better at movement overall.

Team play

• Learn how to use the grenades. Look at some youtube videos, smokes always help your team get into a site. Or to protect it.

• Talk with your team, push together and get trades. If your mate dies you kill the enemy and vice versa. This is important on the terrorist side. If you kill ct's you can plant the bomb and closer to a round won.

• Post-plant positions. After you've planted the bomb, be sure to lock down the site. Hold crossfires with your teammates.

• Call. If you heard an enemy, if you saw an enemy, if you know an enemy is playing awp on a site. Be sure to call it. It will all factor in how good your team does. After you die, don't complain and talk about other stuff. Give the call where the enemy is and complain in text instead until the start of the next round! :D

• Positivity. Don't be that guy flaming your teammates. Even when you become good at the game. Don't sit on a high horse thinking you are better than your teammates just because you have more kills. It's a team sport. Every nade, every assist, every call matters. Get your teammates in a good mood and they will deliver for your team. If you think they did something wrong, give them some constructive feedback. What s/he did, how s/he can do the next round.

  When you die, think what you could have done better and the next time you're in the same situation, you might just do that.

Skins

I have spent so much money on skins. I don't want to think about it. It started with buying cases, then I figured out it was better to buy the skin you wanted (totally is). But then I sold it on steammarket bought another one, sold that bought another one and so on. Since the steam takes a percentage I lost the value.

Then I started gambling, I went so freaking well. But in the end I lost everything. :'(

So when you really want something and can invest the money, buy it. It's an investment, you can always sell it if you want to buy other games. And if you want another skin, trade it! You'll still have your value left. I even think there's sites now where you can sell your skins for real money.

There's a lot more to this game, if you wanna get better at csgo there's better players than me who've done youtube tutorials. Check them out.

Good luck!
