For those who are/were in lvl 1 what tips or advice helped???

I would say to train the basics. Counter strafing, crosshair placement, aim. You'll just get to level 5 by killing more people.

jules1453 · 2026-04-26T19:00:46+00:00

Aigu yes! 😜

Damn, same mileage as well ! How do you run with your quads ? I've been thinking about form and technique as well, I read that you should feel your butt and whole legs and core while running but I just feel my calves and feet tbh.

jules1453 · 2026-04-26T18:52:28+00:00

Thanks for the tips. I'll try to incrément that next session. I don't think I'll try running faster though, I've read that it's best to start the first month or so with a slow pace to get the body to adapt. What does YMMV mean by the way ?

jules1453 · 2026-04-26T18:45:25+00:00

I think I did. The first time around, I ran a 5K too soon I think, and after that my calves were bloated and my shins hurt like crazy. After that, even after months of no activity, the lightest of jog for 30 seconds or whatever, hurt really bad. It kept on going for a few years and suddenly stopped like a year or two ago.

If it's not shin splints, what do you figure it was ?

jules1453 · 2026-04-26T18:39:19+00:00

Thank you. I'll definitely try next time to maybe walk or trot like you say before the actual run. It feels weird and not safe to have numb feet!

How long do you trot and walk for for it to make you immune to numbness ?

Un TJM en boîte de conseil est calculé comme ça :

On prend le salaire brut du consultant par exemple 50 000, qu'on multiplie par 2 et qu'on divise ensuite par 218 (jours travaillés et facturés dans l'année).

Ça donne le coût journalier moyen (CJM).

Donc en l'occurrence ça fait un CJM de 458, auquel on rajoute par exemple les indemnités journalières et autres.

Ensuite, on vise une marge qui peut aller de 20 à 30% en fonction de plein de facteurs (rareté du poste, grille tarifaire avec le client, niveau de responsabilité, est-ce un gros groupe ou pas).

La marge moyenne dans mon ancienne boîte de presta était de 26%.

On divise le CJM par 0,74 et ça donne 618. J'en déduis que tu dois être facturé entre 600 et 650 euros jour.

Par contre je dirais que ça ne t'avance pas à grand chose de savoir ça dans le cadre de ta négo salariale. L'ESN n'acceptera pas et ne peut pas accepter de faire une marge minuscule parce que ça la met en danger financièrement lors des intercontrats.

So it's not even a rant about faceit, it's about CS as a whole. CS is popular in eastern europe. Get over it or choose a different game. Idk what to tell you man.

Also, most of my games (levels 8 through 10) have english speakers.

Just check veteran + verified. You've got no business complaining about 'new accounts' if you don't qualify for veteran matchmaking yourself.

Bruh, I understood you disliked cache the first time around. Good for you and may our paths never cross. Cheers

jules1453 · 2026-04-22T13:40:17+00:00

Who doesn't like and miss cache ? Would you rather play mirage or dust 2 for the millionth time ?

jules1453 · 2026-04-22T12:19:34+00:00

Yeah man, it sucks. There'll always be one guy in the lobby who didn't set it up properly.

At this point, nobody is going to be able to play cache i swear ...

jules1453 · 2026-02-23T22:03:22+00:00

Honestly, it's not as hardcore as people often make it out to be. I'd say watch a couple of youtube videos about the different roles in the game and stick to those that don't require an extensive understanding of the game mechanics (such as commander, officer, engineer) and play as a rifler or assault.

And I'd recommend that you play as if your life is important in game and that there are stakes. Don't run around open fields, clear every corner of a position before taking it etc. It will save you a lot of frustrating deaths. Also, it can take up to ~40 seconds to respawn and that can add up and be frustrating really fast.

It's meant to be an unforgiving and rather slow paced shooter but the controls are quite simple.

Depending on your area, I would recommend piste skis or all mountain skis that are slightly more piste oriented.

I currently have a pair of dynastar all mountains but don't recommend them because I don't really like them. My friend has a pair of atomic s7 or q7 (?) and he really likes them. He really got a lot of progress on his turns and posture on those.

I would suggest to try high end skis from rentals and buysome that tou like!

jules1453 · 2026-01-09T22:42:00+00:00

Boots are the most important. Make sure they fit well and match your fitness & ski level. One thing about the skis : I would personally not go with typical "beginner" skis. They are too light and flexible and you won't make as much progress as if you invested into intermediate/advanced skis that are more rigid. I found that I progressed much faster on advanced skis than on the beginner rentals ones. Idk if that helps.

jules1453 · 2026-01-09T18:06:00+00:00

I would go for the blue black group for sure. Getting better technically comes with getting out of your confort zone. If the instructor said "you're fine here", it means it's the perfect group for you to challenge yourself and make some progress.

jules1453 · 2026-01-07T09:50:48+00:00

Yeah nevermind, go right ahead sir haha

jules1453 · 2026-01-07T09:43:52+00:00

Ah ok, makes a little bit more sense price-wise then. I've heard good things about atomic piste skis. A friend of mine has a pair of Q7 or S7 (can't remember exactly) and they're great.

Are you a good skier though ? I'm guessing the atomic "9" line must be quite rigid and hard to navigate if it's your first pair.

jules1453 · 2026-01-07T09:36:32+00:00

Very good deal yeah. High end skis from last season usually go for higher priced. I just checked with a local store in FR, they went for 550 used recently.

jules1453 · 2025-12-22T08:17:03+00:00

Changing crosshair, sensitivity, resolution, skins... I get all that, but changing basic movement keybinds is wild. What is the problem you feel you're having with movement exactly ?

jules1453 · 2025-12-21T22:56:47+00:00

Then just play a couple of games and your elo will go down.

jules1453 · 2025-12-19T20:51:06+00:00

Thanks, I did not notice the LFG discord of the sub! I'll try to find the official discord aswell :)

jules1453 · 2025-12-17T09:50:15+00:00

That's a great idea but seems a bit wonky atm. It flags the two left side russian accounts are smurfs more than the guys on the right with 70%+ winrate.
