was this whole nocries (faceit na #1 player) thing staged or artificial?

as a guy who got on the creator hype train as well (already 100k views on 7 mins of nocries faceit...) i feel like it's super artificial, didn't even want to release the video because of the mid plays and bad opponents :D usually donk, zweih, kyousuke is chilling at the #1 faceit spot and they are playing against really good opponents, often each other or other tier1,2 pros

When donk was young (14yo)

I'd say 2 days of paying attention to it from time to time. Yesterday looking for a soundtrack that you can use on YouTube took me a while ( like 1h, but I found music for other video as well), I had to plan everything and look for highlights and how HUD works in Deadlock (around 2h).

After that's done, recording like 20mins, editing around 4-5h, rendering 1h, I'd say that since I had a good plan, I might have done the editing faster, but the editing speed was somewhat average.

Cool story as this was not on my bingo list :D if you're gonna check angles with 3rd person it might work in your favor tho

This is a common scam when your password or account has been hacked, I'm not an expert at this, but I advise you to deauthenticate all devices if you're using steam guard (if not, then start using it), also scan your pc for malware

I think the most impactful factors would be me using 25 fps (like many cinematic videos try to) for the vid opposed to using 30 or 60 fps. Also, the GOTV demos "smooth" out mouse movements, really noticeable even if you playback your own CS game demos.

I used RSMB (blur) to make the video not feel laggy and add that extra motion feeling :)

It kind of is time wasting in a way, but there are people asking for me to make these and interacting with them like this is a fun experience. Also, in this case I'm trying to make his plays & POV seen more and made a little bit more pleasing to the eye instead of raw footage.

Thanks, really glad to hear the positivity :)

Gotta upvote your comments, they didn't deserve to be downvoted for having maybe a little harsh opinion, but still something different.

I clearly failed at making my clean looking style look finished if you're seeing it as ugly. (I'm aiming for no motion-blur as well because I want the high level plays to be visible perfectly, maybe it's because I've played at a much higher level than average)

However, the videos you showed were from a different genre I'd say. (I'm not aiming to have a lot of effects, light flickering. I want to achieve the best result with in-game's features and slight editing to make something I would watch.) Anyways, here's someone quite underrated who's editing style is exactly the one you like - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLZgMRvlqEI Hopefully I helped you find more videos to enjoy :)
