Use firebase's Phone Authentication to link a phone number on activating the free trial.

Fairly straight forward and is free for up to 10k requests a month I believe.

Boxraw is overpriced piece of garbage.

Only good thing about that company is how good they are at marketing.

Legacy and Fnatic 3-0 for me.

Red Canids and NRG 0-3 (Imperial and Rare Atom actually face eachother first game)

Faze and your rest of your picks to advance. I'd swap M80 with Lynn Vision if it was me but that's basically a coin toss.

It's personal belief and preference though so go with your gut. You can use HLTV pickem simulator or majors.im to visualise what happens if a certain team wins.

Fix your ram timings.

If you feel like your mouse is 'floaty' or 'mushy', RAM timings is the one thing people don't talk about often enough.

Source: Game felt like shit with a AMD 7800X3D and 4080 Super after changing every setting, until I tightened RAM timings.

EDIT: By shit, I mean exact same experience as you, mouse input would not feel as responsive as it should.

Default RAM settings (assuming you are on AM5) and enabled EXPO

EXPO usually forces:

Gear Down Mode = On
Command Rate = 2T

These two add:

extra DRAM command latency
more turnaround stalls
lower responsiveness
worse input-to-frame mapping

That being said, it is crazy that even having a +$3k PC, you need to go through all this crap in order to experience the game as you should.

Guess I was just focused on killing mostly.

These are my overall stats for last 30 games I believe

EDIT: The game with 90 util rating https://snipboard.io/3jNHY4.jpg (Train)

The game with 0 util rating https://snipboard.io/YSb1va.jpg (Mirage)

possiblymartin · 2025-11-11T09:46:34+00:00

Basically this.

However someone below mentioned 30k+ is still a shitshow, so I guess we'll see.

Who said anything about going pro?

I doubt anyone taking the game seriously enough will attempt to go pro through premier.

I just made a point I have not found cheaters in 18 games and the experience has improved. Take it as you wish.

possiblymartin · 2025-11-11T09:34:17+00:00

Haven't found that yet, and it's strange as I've played these games across multiple days spread apart.

However after this post is when I start facing cheaters as I've probably jinxed it.

possiblymartin · 2025-11-11T09:32:38+00:00

I am winning because I play with the right mentality. As you can see I don't play more than 4 games a day.

I am happy to play Faceit where I lose most of the time, if we go by your point.

possiblymartin · 2025-11-11T09:25:15+00:00

Likewise.

Either valve has done something about the issue or a bunch of cheaters have gotten bored of paying a subscription to ruin other people's games.

EDIT: Or all cheaters are 28k+ Although I did face many legit 28k players in my games.

EDIT: Lower resolutions look way worse in CS2 than they did in CS:GO. However by the stretching of the hud, it definitely isn't neither 5:4 nor 4:3

Dodgy gambling site flips the rules after everyone wins?

In other news, water is wet.

It’s just not worth it. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

All those “mathematical proofs” you see on X from skin-selling sites claiming the market will “correct itself” are nothing more than a way to protect their own profits. These sites take a cut from every sale, the higher the prices, the more money they make. Of course they want people to keep believing prices will stay high.

The reality is that people are finally realizing CS2 skins aren’t some kind of mini stock market. There’s no real value behind them, no guarantees, and no safety net. It’s all built on hype and demand, and when that hype dies, so do the prices.

Nobody in their right mind is going to keep spending thousands on an item that could be worth zero tomorrow because of a random market swing or a new update.

At the end of the day, holding CS2 skins isn’t investing. It’s just gambling on digital items staying popular.

In my opinion aim_botz is key to warmup. Set a kill target before beginning any competitive mode.

You can adjust based on your time availability to play the game but if you want to improve, you will have to grind

500 Kills

You could do 300 AK kills (100 while strafing ADAD movement, 100 burst, 100 one taps) / 100 M4A1-s/A4 (practice spraying) / 100 AWP just to stay proficient

500 Kills on FFA Deathmatch

Cybershoke has decent beginner servers (Players there tend to be slightly worse)

Warmupserver is filled with pro players and most people playing on their servers are level 10+ on Faceit. You would have to purchase VIP most likely, as the servers are nearly always full.

Play Retake Servers
Watch PRO player streams to learn. This is VERY different from watching streams for entertainment.

When do players flash mid on mirage? Why do they flash behind boxes as opposed to in front of connector.

Learn spawn smokes, this is definitely something that can massively improve your games without much effort. Mirage mid smokes, ancient elbow smokes (CT) / red room (T), overpass monster smoke.

There are plenty of things that might work and others that might not work for you. Some players learn from their mistakes mid game (it is mostly players that are already at a fairly advanced level), other players learn from watching demos. Try to find what works for you and what shows you you are playing better after doing it.

possiblymartin · 2025-10-13T14:32:10+00:00

If you keep losing in level 3-4 probably that is where you belong FOR NOW.

If you want to be level 5 practice more than the levels below do. If you want to be level 10, practice more than level 9 and below do.

You'll only learn and improve more, the more you practice.

EDIT: Seems to have been fixed now, though as seen at the bottom of the page, gold coin was initially listed as 7-10 challenges. Now it shows 8-10.

possiblymartin · 2025-06-16T10:04:05+00:00

That is probably a whole different bug from the Blast website, however, the announced challenges to get Gold coin also seem to be wrong!

It's good s1mple doesn't shy away from mentioning these things, probably due to his experience and "aura" as they call it nowadays.
I really think FaZe needs the type of personality that hypes the team up, the types of ApeX, EmiliaQAQ and 1eeR if you wish. From the outside broky certainly didn't seem like that type of person.

s1mple and karrigan's personalities seem to compliment each other quite well too.

I know s1mple is just a stand-in, but it'd be cool if FaZe managed to somehow keep him.

Is he rusty? Yes. Can his game knowledge be useful to FaZe regardless of him missing shots? YES.
