I bought CS:S in 2005, played it a bit, never got into it. Picked up CS:GO in 2014, had no skills whatsoever and a five year veteran coin.

I had a 5-year veteran coin when I started discovered comp about 6 months ago, before that I'd played CS1.5, 1.6 and Source but probably like 5 5v5 matches max cause having to organise a scrim seemed like :effort:. Got placed Nova 2 and got hooked, hit my goal of DMG a couple months back and now I hover between that and MGE :D

Pfft. Easy as nothing. Back in the day it was all about joining #pcw or #clanbase on quakenet, spamming "Looking for pcw, low-mid HAVE SERVER" untill you managed to reel some poor suckers in, preferably on the lower end of that skill scale, and then you played Aztec. Good times.

On that note, a couple of months ago I noticed clanbase was dead. I am legitimately sad that all the match records and such from back then are lost in the valley of wind and ghosts- going back to read old bordering on ancient clanbase match reports was fun.

We're all friends here
I recently finished my 10th placement match and ended up with a Gold Nova 3. I haven't really played any CS since High School, but I guess it's... decent?
I mostly play with friends who are between Nova 1 and DMG, so I guess this is what influences it the most? I usually can at least hold my own to a certain degree in these matches (Even got my first Ace today :woop:).

Gold nova 3 is right in the middle. But
playing with friends will always influence your rank.

If I'm not sure I'll have time for a full match then casual can be fun for a few rounds.

Casual could be fun if it was at most 8v8 and the rounds weren't needlessly long.

Yup, I mostly play casual atm because im on a connection that could drop at any moment and i dont wanna be eating mm bans. I got it as ct on dust2 and had no idea i was gonna get it until the end of the round. Think i started with just a 5-7 as well lol and then picked up an awp from a t rushing through mid doors 15 seconds into the round. You see some... interesting stuff in casual.

Well, stop trolling/being boosted then

Just ranked back up to Nova 4 BTW. I played this game when it came out with goons and was MG1 but stopped playing until recently and started again at Nova 3.

Someone tell me 400 DPI is more than enough to play perfectly fine, cause a friend is trying to convince me you need higher DPI (with lower ingame sens) for precision, like 2000dpi to play at 1024 so you can avoid "pixel skips while aiming" which sounds like :tinfoil:

Though it might make sense that you'd need higher DPI at 1080p than pros do while playing at 800x600. But even then I don't think there should be a difference.

DPI/CPI has nothing to do with accuracy, your friend talks out of his rear end.

I don't know poo poo about DPI and all that other jazz, but just play with what feels good to you. Sometimes it is worth trying out new settings to see if anything strikes a chord, but for the most part, as the Digital Underground would say, Do Whatcha Like.

Your DPI settings alone is kind of meaningless without knowing your other sensitivty settings! Assuming your windows is set to default sensitivty, (6 of 11), most Good players seem to have their DPI around 400 with an ingame sens ranging from 2-3, with some outliers on both the lower and higher end of the sensitivty scale.

Like, there's nothing wrong with playing with 2400 DPI if your ingame sens is just turned down to something like 0.50- it would be literally identical to a configuration of 400/6/3, with 13.6 inches required for a 360' turn.


Last week I finally made the switch and reduced my sens down to 400/6/3, and much to my surprise I am loving it. If someone is on the fence about turning it down, I wholly recommend it. You may lose a couple of close quarters duels to begin with, but will more than make up for it in accurate headclicking at any other range.


Probably not up to date, but should give you a general idea on the sensitivity settings that pro's play at

Problem with high DPI is that many modern mice often do scaling past certain point, so higher DPI at lower sensitivity can actually be worse, but that is specific to the sensor used in the mouse.

I made Silver Elite Master a few weeks ago and I feel like I'll be stuck here for a while. It seems like there's a huge gap between here and the novas just in effective 'nade usage, positioning, and your opponents not doing stupid stuff. It doesn't help either that I can't awp to save my life. Game is hard.

Honestly at your skill level effective made usage won't really make much of a difference. Just focus on not blowing rear end when you shoot people. How long have you been playing cs? I think for the longest time I used to be really garbage at cs before I sort of got a clue then became a little less garbage. It's a difficult game to learn so don't feel bad if it takes time to get into.
