I'll give you old overpass but cbble is much more T manageable these days (plus it has 4 chokepoints and a few of them are not that terrible to break through)

Yeah I use my arm for big changes but I do most of my aiming with my wrist. I'm really short and I don't use claw grip. Maybe I'll try going up a little more now while I'm making changes.

You should give arm aiming a decent shot.

It feels really weird and uncomfortable to me. I've been wrist aiming in FPS games since the late 90s and generally wrist mousing since I was a little kid.

Actually maybe I do claw grip a bit? I use my fingers to push the mouse around for some movements. I've definitely been consciously trying to use my arm more for bigger movements in CS so maybe it'll become more natural. I also don't have a chair with arms so I have nowhere for my elbow to rest in a neutral position.

While bigger events are probably fine, in terms of having pros on an isolated network, this is a disaster to happen for regular players in Dreamhack-esque LANs. Hopefully the CEVO person's reddit post isn't just an excuse and this is patched soon.

I think you should aim with your wrist and your arm, i don't know why you would ever have to be only one unless you're playing at ultra low or ultra high

If you're in the range 400@1.6 all the way to 400@3.6 both are useful

prom candy posted:

However you decide to splash your cash and in what order, I highly recommend having at least $2000 in the bank before Round 4. This is a pretty good economic rule. Assuming you don't kill anybody, this allows you to get AK/Helmet/flashes/smoke, and as CT, M4/Kevlar/flash and smoke.

I think 5-7, armor and nades is a little excessive for a Round 3 buy, assuming full eco on second, unless symbolic means without helmet. But I think that kinda defeats the point of early forcebuys, which is that you're investing in helmet to make shotgun/SMG buys less effective.

I feel comfortable enough with the SMGs now that I will often buy a 5/7 or Tec9, armor and nades even if it means I can't buy a rifle next round.

My thinking is that 5/7 or tec9 with armor gives you a much better chance of getting kills, a gun or even winning the round than a full save that its worth the risk of having to play SMG vs rifles the next round.

But then again the 2 posts above me are both better players, so maybe don't follow my advice.

5-7 is ridiculously overpowered for a $500 gun. It's more reliable than the Galil in many situations. Tec-9 is also OP but far inferior.

prom candy posted:

I think there's a reasonable argument to be made for doing a buy that is very similar to the second round win buy, especially if the opposing team won through a pistol armor force and it was a close round.

Obviously if you get stomped, the enemy team is going to significantly outgun you. But if you killed 4, you're likely to mostly see smgs and galil/famas. You're likely to be in a similar economic position. So people who bought rifles on round two should buy Tec-9/5-7, and people that bought SMGs could buy rifles. If you get shitstomped you're gonna see a full buy from the other team and should probably just mostly save and try to get your hands on a couple of their shiny new rifles.

This is easier to justify on T side, since it's easier to get a buy together, and you have a good chance at getting a bomb plant down. On the other hand, saving $2000 and playing to get a plant means you've basically got a full buy round 4.

This round is similar to the round after losing pistol, but you have more money! I think the only real mistake here is doing a halfway strat that leaves you with $1000-$1500. Buy or don't buy, but if you're saving, make sure you don't have to save on round 4.

I just hit MGE on my deagle smurf. My main is still MGE.

what the fuuuuuuuuuuuck

also seconding the 5-7 being a stupidly good gun. it's not as accurate as the high end rifles, but its still capable of a pretty long reach, its got an amazingly consistent spray pattern for a pistol, it's got 20 bullets, and it looks cool AF.
