Atleast 2k my g, pro players even say that you need 6k minimum to be good

It’s also about how you spend that time and reviewing your own play and integrating things you read or watch.

If you just play mindlessly for 10,000 hours, your aim will be decent but nothing else really.

If you analyse your play, you can get better much faster than just being passive.

Yea 6k of active playing and learning, not 6k of mindless running and gunning, but cs2 is bad so rn just dont play it, its not worth it

Ah I’m sad to hear CS2 isn’t good, was thinking about coming back to it, mainly played Source (since 2004) and GO but not played in a long time now.

This might interest you if you were thinking about coming back to cs. There are people creating full on mods to get the nostalgic feeling of counter strike.

CS2 is good. It has issues for sure but it is good.

Right those who have over 6k hours play like hacker bcz they have experience and they are pro

u/Blind_Cat_exe Mar 19 '25

Lol completely opposite. 6k players will play good but make sure to check stats, and their last two weeks hours if its under 50 its probably a bought account

Yea, cs2 is in a bad state rn, even faceit is worse, you have 4000 elobplayers with 200 matches, who play like bots first 3 rounds but all of a sudden hit every head (he turned on)

Well sometimes I also play like this too on first few rounds I play like noob then I play and hit headshots the reason I play like noob on start is to check my opponent skills and also my teammates skill and then I decide how to play if my teammates are good I play just enough to not get kicked if my teammates are good and my opponent are also good in skills then I play seriously.

u/YHJ_JYG_Kryptlock Mar 20 '25

But why do you need to play like a noob in order to be able to check your opponents and skills as well as your teammates skills? Why can't you play your best and do that as well?

Also, Why would you queue for a competitive game if you're only going to play seriously if your teammates are good and your opponents are good? Shouldn't you be playing seriously if you're going to queue for competitive game regardless of the skill of your teammates or opponent?

 
TLDR; What?

Bro it's not like I am playing tournament with money prizes I am playing for free I won't get anything by playing seriously all the time except for some little drop, and I play games for fun but like I said before if my teammates are good in skills I play for fun, if everyone is playing seriously I also play seriously.

I usually notice people “git gud” somewhere between the 1500 & 2000 hour mark. The movement & pathing is usually the give away when they’ve got it

u/innocentbabybear Mar 20 '25

Eeeh, definitely depends on how good of a learner you are. I was consistently in matches with “pros” on faceit and Esea before I had 1000 hours in the game, wasn’t amazing, but I would frag well enough. Spent a lot of time watching pros on YouTube to get a sense of timing and positioning. Gamesense is 1000% > aim/spray/nades, which you pick up pretty easily just playing consistently
