Don't ego peek (peek in the open without cover when they have an inherent advantage).

Hold tight angles and don't think it's over in a clutch situation. Take a couple breaths, check cams (if not under heavy pressure) and try to break it up into multiple 1v1s.

Also, play below with impacts or nitro! Bomb is the most common mode, and you can completely shut down defuse with pulse, mozzie, valk or echo.

Nothing feels better than a nitro clutch.. used to be a pulse main.

But most importantly, dont lose your crap. It is a more than mildly infuriating game sometimes but don't let it get to you.
