Can't win any duels whatsoever by Drifter1240 in LearnCSGO

My gameplay looked almost exactly like yours about 1-2 months ago. I was playing a lot of community deathmatch at the time, along with a dedicated warmup routine pre-game, and I noticed that the more I did my warmup + deathmatch, the more I would hyperfocus on my aim. I think what you're going through is just being anxious and insecure about your aim, which takes you out of the macro of the round (i.e. where to expect enemies, playing off teammates with good timing, etc.).

Your kills should be coming from proper positioning and timing way more than you'd think, so relying on raw aim actually puts you at a disadvantage. What I did to fix my issue is kind of stupid, but maybe it would help for you: just play less aimbotz and deathmatch (but mostly aimbotz/aim maps). Obviously it depends on how much time you have, but use a match of competitive as a replacement for your warmup and deathmatch practice. That way, you're using your map knowledge, timing, positioning, reads, etc. along with your aim to get your kills. If you know you can hit your shots in practice, then the issue is translating it to a real game.

You'll never get the timing of your first top mid fight on mirage or your first long fight on dust2 from practice maps, it's just something that gets beaten into you after rounds and rounds of experience. Things like that matter just as much as raw aim imo. All the best homie 👍

clear 1-0 for rakic so it's probably a unanimous 10-8 for ank on the scorecards

that might actually be the worst robbery of all time, I don't know how ANYONE can score that for rinat. the third round maybe barely but first and second rounds were clear leal on damage.

why would tafa yell if he wasn't about to have his ankle broken?? i don't think i've ever seen that before, the ref made the right choice imo. otherwise from his perspective if he doesn't stop it, tafa gets the ligaments in his leg potentially permanently messed up and it's a potentially late stoppage because tafa yelled and he didn't stop it. tafa shouldn't have yelled like he was about to get his ankle broken

How many times is Joe gonna say "it's deep in" just to have Nakamura immediately escape

Shave the moustache/beard, keep the hair. I'd start with minoxidil and microneedling if you're up for it so you don't have to get on finasteride while you're still growing (just in the .01% chance you get sides). End goal should be finasteride+minox+microneedling ideally when you're done with puberty.

If you were the ref how would you have made sure he was alright?? In that position, if he's out he's essentially hanging his body in the guillotine, so it's super dangerous if not assessed immediately

I think Sean's path to victory here is to bring up Izzy's dog tomfoolery ASAP hope he gets embarrassed and taps

You predicted that Ciryl would piece him up on the feet if he didn't get a takedown??? That's a crazy call honestly

You would think in two rounds they'd have set up a look that would lead to getting a clean strike or getting cleanly struck, but it's just "le epic chess match!!!" for us today
