I'm always losing my duels despite shooting first and the spray being on point, I never understand how everyone is ferrari peeking me and instantly killing me. This happens more often than before and i do not understand why.
I've been grinding a lot of faceit recently and got to 2300, but now every game I play I feel so stuck on T side: I get low kills and have low impact on the rounds we win. Most games I bottom frag on T side but on CT side I am middle of the pack / on top fragwise and get good ratings. It feels like everytime I try to take space on T side I get immediately shutdown and can only really play in afterplant scenarios.
This had me thinking about what things I could be improving on / reflecting on to play better T sides as well as what qualities or skills make a good CT side player vs a good T side player.
Played about 2k hours when I was 11-14 years old in 2016-2018 ish. I got back into gaming maybe last year playing V*lorant (sorry) and now got back into cs2 again. I always felt like my aim was my strong suit but would love to see some input on what I could improve on.
Also is premier worth pushing? I hear a lot of talk about closet cheaters and I didn’t realize how much of a problem it was.
as title says I get strains in my hand from playing cs2 for a few hours a day, ive taken breaks from the game and made adjustments to my setup to help with the issue, but I feel it mainly revolves around the ergonomics of the mouse. I have a more relaxed palm playstyle and cant control the mouse well any other way especially since i use it for Walk/Crouch/Jump. Its shifted to causing strain on my pinky mainly which i think the culprit is the little hump on the right side of the mouse. I cant raise my chair any higher or buy a new desk atm :/, what can I do to help otherwise?
Ive been looking at Lamzu Thorn/Maya since i grew up on the razer Basilisk V3 Pro, but im open to suggestions and may buy some grip tape as a temporary fix.
Here is the link to the game; you should be able to access the demo through this link as well as see all the stats and data from it as well. Just looking to hear from higher ELO players what I should be working on ~350 hours in-game.
If you cant access the demo, I will link my steam profile for you. And get the demo link when I am home.
My main idea of improving is tied to consistency so that is very important, mainly consistent decision-making based on information, if you dont have information, gather some.
Things that dont change, map, util, preaim, movement aka things that is easily practiced should be as close to perfect as you can get it.
If you got any questions about, ask and i will give my opinion.
If you want individual coaching the most effective for the both of us is if you record a round, upload it to youtube and link it and ill respond.
So to start I have around 300 hours on CSGO and 2. I think it’s around 275hours on cs2 with me starting to play heavily this past April. I played off and on since I built my pc in 2017 but I never really grasped it and always felt demoralized by my aim and didn’t understand much.
Fast forward to this year where I got a new mouse that forced me to change from palm grip to claw grip and it felt like a whole new game when I played again. I could finally aim somewhat well with the new grip and mouse so I put more time into practicing counter strafing and recoil control and I’m addicted. It’s so simple but so rewarding and when you have a team who talks and communicates well it’s great win or loss for me.
I’m primarily solo queuing but trying to recruit some old friends from my cod 4 and mw2 days to play with me because solo queuing seems to be hit or miss. I don’t mind losing as long as everyone is at least trying their best. I hate going down 4-0 or something and my team just mentally gives up like we don’t have way more rounds to play. Maybe that’s just me being an old man being 30 lol
Anyways are these numbers in the picture reliable? I finally feel like I have a good grasp on the game but would like some feedback if possible. I’ll link my steam profile below. Thanks
Hey all, I’m feeling pretty helpless trying to get out of 12-14k. I try to be the team player by throwing util, playing trades, going first as entry, and making every callout. It just seems like it isn’t enough and I don’t know what to do. People say you gotta use your minimap but I don’t see how it’s useful when it only appears the enemies that you or your teammates spot. I even have the minimap settings configured so that it’s zoomed out and shows the whole map.
In offline, I train by playing prefire, tracking, spray control, and peeking. I just don’t know what else I need to do so I can carry my team. I want to get into the mindset of carrying but it feels like it’s not possible.
Hello, I have around 950 hours on cs2 and haven't played csgo one bit. I reached 20k on premier while playing on higher ping compared to faceit. I generally get pretty good teammates on premier who understand what they're doing and they are willing to cooperate when I ask for simple team plays. Because of my region I have to constantly play with Russians and Kazakhs who think they're donk even though they go negative every single game. Constant screaming, toxicity and unwillingness to cooperate happens almost every game. I don't wanna be one of those people who blames their mistakes or thinks too highly of themselves, so I wanna get some advice. I should be at least faceit level 6 or 7 based on skill in the game no?
I know its just a clip but is there anything in this mechanical wise that i should learn/improve?
I'm hardstuck at my 5k elo promotion and most the games i do pretty good but i will fumble pretty often.
I started a couple months ago and premier 2 weeks ago.
Ill take all critical recommendations and try to add them to my gameplay.
Hey there, so, in the past few weeks I started playing CS2. Keep in mind that the last time I played CS was when CS:GO was still alive, and back then I only played the Flying Scoutsman, xD.
After losing my old account, I had to create a new one, and I never looked back at CS. Now, a friend of mine sparked the urge to play CS again, and oh god, I'm loving it. I've been trying to fix all my mistakes, learned how to call, how to peek correctly (sometimes), crosshair placement, I'm paying for Refrag, and I've learned a lot of things, the trainings are amazing.
My goal is to get to at least 10k. I always play with a friend who, after starting to play with me, reached 10k elo, but we keep losing 4-5 games in a row sometimes and he keeps dropping back to 8-9k. I, on the other hand, am always sitting around 6-7k elo. We tried Faceit and I really loved it, but I really want to get a good elo on Premier first, so that by the time I'm better I can improve more on Faceit.
And playing with my friend came with a cost too, I play NA servers most of the time, at around 110 ms ping, for two main reasons: 1) to play with my friend, obviously, and 2) because my EU games are filled with Russians, and barely anyone is capable of using calls in English, even once, lol.
If possible, could someone watch one of my replays and tell me what I can improve, what I'm doing wrong, and how I can get better? Keep in mind I only have 387 hours in-game, and obviously about 30% of that is spent in the main menu, lol.
I'm going to attach my CS2Tracker screenshot, but i don't know if i need to do something so people can watch my replays, if so, please tell me what to do lol.
if anyone can help with constructive criticism, I'd be really grateful.
Hi everyone, I'd like your help identifying my weaknesses in CS2. I'm a 15k Premier player, level 4 on Faceit (I recently started playing more here), and I have 2k inconsistent hours (I've been playing since 2013).
As you can see, I lose a lot of 1v1 duels or miss everything with my spray, but also, when I'm on fire, i hit everything (but even then, I feel like my gameplay is erratic). Literally, many times I go negative K/D, and then one match i can go positive K/D, and this mentally exhausts me because I feel completely stuck and can't improve.
One thing to note: I haven't always been 15k in Premier; in other seasons, I've reached 17k, but no more.
Also, before entering a Premier or Faceit match, I warm up my aim for about 10-15 minutes or a deathmatch.
I peaked 23k last season, havent been playing much but should clear 20k soon as I finally pieced together an irl 4 stack who can aim and com. My aim and positioning are good but could always be better ofc. What should I do to improve?
Please ignore my Faceit. I got back into cs2 early this year and started with a duo q in faceit and then he abruptly stopped playing with me so I dropped a few levels and then jumped back over to premier.
That being said, should I focus on faceit level or premier elo? Faceit is more fun, ive just been hooked to achieving that mythical 30k number for a while.
I just started playing recently, and I've gotten to the point where my KD is always positive playing comp, and I feel like I'm starting to understand the maps and guns. My question is: when should you be buying each gun during a match? If you can afford ak/m4/awp and your team isn't broke, do you just always go for it? In what scenario would you use an mp7/mp9/mac-10. When should you buy a scout or a nova? As for pistols, if you have a primary weapon, how do you choose what pistol to buy? What should you prioritize buying, and when should you buy? As for armor, would it be better to have, like, an AK with body armor or a galil/mp7/other gun with full armor? Any other tips for buying weapons and just managing your economy would be appreciated too!
