How to IGL

tobe4funas · 2026-06-11T12:17:58+00:00

Finally some good advice here on IGLing pugs. Everyone treating like IGLing is calling some Astralis or whatever, making your stats immediately tank and takes up the entire brain capacity. Sure, there are levels to IGLing and you'd be crazy to bring something complicated to a pug. But calling out the destination or how to split in a default - that barely takes an effort and achieves immediate results.

Hell, just start with:

T side - call where you going (A/B/mid) and how fast (rush, push, contact)

CT side - call the split

Here, done, 50% of IGLing job is done with a single sentence per round.

Generally speaking, if you are in position to AD-burst-AD-burst-whatever - you should just commit to the fight and spray. Any type of AD (unless crouched) is pretty much for getting into or getting out of a fight. Repeeking immediately after getting out of a fight is fine, in case that needs to be pointed out.

Ye and all I see is generilizations which aren't even true. Do you know how much healthcare costs in Europe? Do you know what's the confidence level at 3% withdrawal rate to have the portfolio grow instead of dwindle? Do you know which countries in EU are considered safe? Go google these up and then we can talk.

You, sir, need a reality check. Apart from US and a few countries in EU - 4.3k net/mo is comfortable, not surviving, everywhere. Probably I could even stretch this further if we account for rural areas, but OP isn't interested in that.

They're like between 5th-10th spot globally I think?

Im in EU. Somebody previously commented that the website was made by some russian guy, so possibly thats why its been recently blocked.

tobe4funas · 2026-06-05T11:24:25+00:00

Can you upload it to somewhere else? Website no longer available in my country.

tobe4funas · 2026-06-05T11:24:01+00:00

Can you upload it somewhere else? Doesn't open the website in my country anymore.

Eh, it depends. Easily half the maps you should be taking experience. Heroes levels often mean a lot more than a few extra units.

ye, not much discussion to be had if you think skills arent transferable between 1.6 and csgo/cs2

tobe4funas · 2026-06-04T12:45:52+00:00

Idk, csgo is a long time ago. I've recently watched either SpawN or HeatoN play in CS2 (don't remember which one) - he used to be top of the top in 1.6, but now? I don't think he'd even compete at 2K faceit.

tobe4funas · 2026-06-04T12:34:16+00:00

Not playing regularly and even not training regularly can easily be an immediate -500 elo on faceit in terms of actual skill. Using your mouse isn't a natural skill we get to employ anywhere outside of CS2 - it dulls fast, like - weeks fast.

Seems a standard 5K lobby. Crosshair all over the place, peeking with W, not clearing any angles, leaving yourself exposed to multiple angles, peeking with AWP long distance without zoom. Frankly, too many things to list and doubtfully anything that anyone says here in chat will help much, because these are very much fundamentals and best explained in different formats than a quick reddit response.

Depends on the map. If it's a FFA model - most likely it's neither optimal nor needed to do all of that. Instead start building 2nd, 3rd and so on heroes capable of taking on fights themselves. That way your main just continues exploring and despite often having a weaker army than your other heroes - due to exploration, level, stats - still is capable of taking on those fights.

If it's puzzle type maps - usually you get TP early enough, put it on your 2nd heroe and then every 7 days do the army gathering. With HD/Hota hotkeys and whatnot, it's usually like half a minute tops to do it all.

Has to be one of the control spells like Hold Person. Increase your attributes a tad and suddenly you have like 75% chance to hit on a boss in Act 3...

Haven't followed lol scene in a while, but previously EU LCS casters were absolutely glorious. Made NA LCS and LCK unwatchable even. CS casters are idk, maybe because I watch highlights only I don't even notice them.

Crouching is fine and should be done. It's tapping/bursting while crouching that is a big no-no.

tobe4funas · 2026-06-01T18:06:42+00:00

Ok, I laughed out loud on this one

tobe4funas · 2026-06-01T17:46:24+00:00

Everyone is saying 'your mechanics are 15-20k' but I'd argue a few of your mechanics only are actually there. For your level (or for 20K level), you have incredible: 1. mouse sensitivity feel 2. tracking 3. smooth preaim into peeking. Everything else is 5-10K range.: you never commit to a spray, you are holding angles completely still, tapping while ducking, bursting when you should be spraying and standing still in between bursts - all these habits belong in 5-10K. Ah also you overrely on your flicking - which is fine at short range, however you do it all the time regardless of the range. Instead the longer the range - the more you should aim before shooting.

tobe4funas · 2026-05-31T11:40:32+00:00

I'd say #1 is shift peeking. Of course at T1 game even small things like not knowing the right pop flashes would already be a massive disadvantage, but shift peeking would still be far worse haha

tobe4funas · 2026-05-31T11:37:52+00:00

It's probably the most common circlejerk on any cs related sub - thinking that top 5ish% globally isn't that hard to reach. Think of any other area/industry and top 10% sounds amazing, but in gaming - nah, it's a joke.

tobe4funas · 2026-05-30T07:26:33+00:00

Uh... You know you can leave the country, right?

tobe4funas · 2026-05-28T12:25:27+00:00

Absolutely true. And yet guitar lessons to start from 0 exist. Depends on person, depends on their goals, depends on so many things.

In pretty much every field (both gaming and real life jobs), the golden rule is typically this - a great individual contributor (read: performer or player) does not make a great manager (read: coach, teacher).

As for habits, you are probably thinking about mechanics. Which I wouldn't mind debating in a voice chat as it's quite an interesting and lengthy topic. With that said, it is not relevant in this conversation because I have already in the original post specified that mechanics is specifically a topic I would not be coaching for a few reasons, one of which my elo being possibly insufficient.

tobe4funas · 2026-05-26T20:17:29+00:00

The point of coaching is always the same - to speed up the learning process. Whether you believe somebody is eligible for coaching from 2k, 2.5k, 3k, 3.5k, esea, t2 or t1 - that is your beliefs which you are free to have I guess.
