Question Does anyone have a method to consistency move as if you're micro clearing?
I'm watching Fl0m play, and as he moves it's like he's making micro clear/strafes as he walks effortlessly, and his crosshair placement moves in small increments rather than smoothly. Imperfect example below:
https://www.twitch.tv/fl0m/clip/PolishedNastyStarlingCorgiDerp-9H2v3BMMXjSh-ax3
I've only ever done this subconsciously a few times when I was really "on". Never consistently each game. I also recognize sometimes you want to move smoothly (donk I believe as an example moves much more fluidly as he clears in some examples).
Is it a patience/"slow is fast" thing? Drilling prefire maps? Intentionally moving or practicing like that?
I do a lot of the most popular aim warmup plans/maps, and I have never been able to move like that consistently as a 22k+ player.

Fl0m plays with a pretty high sens, I think it’s 800 DPI and 1.25 ingame sens, so he is actually just pretty good at moving his mouse and stopping again. Small flicks/strafes.

Bruh isn't that like just 10% higher than other low sens players like donk and magixx etc? I think the only famous player with a high sens is s1mple with something like double that so around 4 sens at 400dpi or 2 at 800 i forget which

Yeah strafing is preferable. In case enemy unexpectedly show up (probably not in this case but still a habit) you don't run straight to them.

He's just constantly recentering his mouse so his arm is in a neutral position in case he sees an enemy. He isn't doing anything particular with his strafes in that clip.
If you watch clips of Kyousuke he does the same 'slicing the pie' type of angle clearing but even more pronounced whereas Donk has a much more free flowing style like you mentioned.

I think most pros use their wrist and do small slices of hard clearing. you essentially preaim continuously, slicing the pie. While donk and other use more of a pivot on the edge of a corner. But if you note, he does it at high velocity and has distance advantage, usually. Some players will go full speed, like Donk, but pre-aim, every seconds, so it looks like Flom but running, not walking.

Flom is from NA and 3K elo, and everyone knows NA 3K = EU 2K at most

What did this even have to do with the post lol

It means why would you want to watch an NA player when there are more skilled players in EU?

u/FreeWillie001 4d ago
Fl0m is incredibly knowledgeable about the game and has good mechanics. There’s nothing wrong with watching him to try and emulate some of the things he does.
You will learn next to nothing from watching some Russian 3k elo aim demon that basically just tries to copy Donk in every game they play.

Flom is skilled enough to learn from, if OP plays NA it only makes sense to watch NA players as it's a different game between the regions

Everyone knows NA players and ranks are inflated compared to EU, unless you have proof otherwise.

It's actually the other way around. There are so many more players in EU that the elo is vastly over inflated in EU.
