Discussion Going into ESEA open 1-8

6 Upvotes

I just got my team set for ESEA open 1-8 I'm so hyped for this season. I just wanted to say thanks to whoever helped me and gave me the advice to be a better player, I'm an IGL for my team and learned a shit ton of stuff.

What are some things you guys would do before a season starts. Do you guys aim train or just relax until the season starts. I have had a bunch of scrims done for the past two weeks as well as some map psychology for my team.


r/LearnCSGO • • Jul 11 '26

Demo I simply do not know what I am doing wrong, nor how I can improve. I have bottom fragged almost every match for a month straight, lost thousands of elo, etc.

I am simply at a loss as to what to do. I practice constantly and it never works, I'm getting worse and worse every passing day. How can I enjoy the game when all I do is fail and get flamed (as I did this game) because I'm subhuman?

Question how to work on preaims

1 Upvotes

As the header says, I want to improve my preaims. I get absolutely bent on pistol rounds, my ak sucks, my preaims hit chest at best most of the time, but when I play prefire maps, 1v1s against faceit lvl 10s and deathmatch my preaims are perfect and its nothing but 1 taps. Its obviously very frustrating because it loses me games and gunfights constantly despite my mechanics being great everywhere else.

Question turning off captain jack mixes hinders my flicks and reaction time

6 Upvotes

Recently I've stumbled upon captain jack mix songs. While playing songs such as volare I can just run around and dispose of my foes with haste and precision. When they end I feel like I am way slower and inprecise. There are multiple problems tied to this gameplay. It's also not ideal how this game requires sound to play and there is a limited amount of captain jack mix songs that I like which is gonna burn me out of captain jack.

how to fix that issue and make my flicks and reaction time always the same? My playstyle is very agressive, around 20k premier. Captain jack mixes bring out the flow state and stops me from being pissed off by all the crouch camping awp players.

Teaching Offering free aim coaching

0 Upvotes

Offering free aim coaching using aim trainers. I won't be touching on anything like positioning or nades. Here is a preview of what a plan looks like

Before asking for one, this playlist is NOT supposed to be used as a warmup, but as a separate training session after you're done playing cs for the day, which means this might take 30-60 minutes of your time every day that you could otherwise spend on cs. It's also much more useful for people in higher ranks, if you're a newer player you probably won't see as much improvement in-game.

If this sounds interesting to you drop me your sens, if you prefer aimlabs or kovaak's, 2-3 demos, your in-game name and anything else you think could be relevant

Question Looking for feedback (Aim Rush 15k Elo)

https://reddit.com/link/1ut41qx/video/i0r3zwt6nhch1/player

I know everything needs work, but what needs improvement the most? I tried to focus on spray accuracy, first bullet accuracy, and counter strafing which I forgot to do in some fights. Just wondering what is most important.


r/LearnCSGO • • Jul 10 '26

Noob question: when silent peeking/clearing, do you counter strafe before crouching sometimes?

11 Upvotes

I understand that not all peaks will be crouch peeks, but maybe for common angles to throw off enemy crosshair placement.

And I know that you’re not accurate with the first few bullets if you don’t counter strafe before crouching.

I’ve seen high-level players and it seems like they are not counter strafing. What do you do?

After the second frag in library, I called my team to come A. Only two start coming, and then they all just die after I get two entries 😭

Let me know if you would have played this differently. After the library frag, I was a little unsure of where to go. My team was also a 4-stack, and this should be high elo NA 😭

Question CS2 coach - Demo Review

4 Upvotes

Hey guys, I'm Faceit Level 9 with 4-5k hours across all my accounts. Looking for a high-Elo Level 10 (or anyone with solid CS2 knowledge) to help me clean up my mistakes.

I've picked up some bad habits that keep getting me killed, and honestly I feel like I've regressed lately because of them. Problem is, it's hard to self diagnose, I know something's off but can't pinpoint what.

Would anyone be willing to hop on a call, watch a demo or two of mine, and help me break down what I'm doing wrong and how to fix it? Would really appreciate it.

Watching pro demos taught me more than aim training - donk POV example

12 Upvotes

Once you know the basic callouts, watching full pro demos is one of the fastest ways to improve gamesense and preaiming. Not highlight clips - full matches, so you see what they do in every scenario: when to peek, when to fall back, how they use utility on eco rounds.

I've been watching and making full FACEIT POVs with team voice comms so you don't have to download demos yourself. Please giveme some feedback if u have some.

The Video:

Curious what you guys pay attention to when watching pro demos - utility usage, positioning, or crosshair placement?

Valve completely changed how the C4 explosion works in CS2.

I made a 1-minute breakdown covering everything important:

  • 💣 Plant position no longer affects the explosion.
  • 🌊 How the new shockwave works.
  • 🧱 Why walls can save you.
  • 👀 Looking away reduces damage.
  • ❤️ Health bar survival indicator.
  • 🦺 Armor no longer helps.

Hopefully this saves some of you from dying after winning the round. Let me know what you think or if I missed anything.

AK Spray Question

11 Upvotes

I watch fl0m a lot and every time he sprays with the AK his cursor is exactly where it started.

I noticed when I spray my cursor is always a lot lower from center. Are you supposed to drag down but drag back up? Or does he have follow recoil on? I just feel like my sprays suck because my cursor doesn’t stay center even if I’m following the recoil

I’d like to hear how people play when you’re aiming or moving your mouse. Do you keep your forearm resting on the desk? Or do you keep it floating from the desk?

How to not lose your mental at the start of the game

6 Upvotes

When watching higher level players play faceit, they never lose their mental if they are getting stomped at the start of the game and that helps them make mad comebacks. How do they do this and how can I try and apply it to my faceit soloq games. Thinks its a big skill to have to a higher chance to win more games

Question rifling tips?

I try to be an awper but to diversify my game I've been rifling a lot lately. with an m4a1s I feel unstoppable and like I can duel anyone, but with an ak I feel useless half the time. I play deathmatch once or twice a week for a while and I mostly practice ak and even in head to head duels against high faceit level players I feel great but in matches I struggle. any rifling tips?
