Double check your typically used smokes and flashes - rewatch the demos and check if they are actually effective. If they aren't, youtube some better ones. You should be able to slow down most full blown rushes with them. In general when defending a rush, your job is to stay alive as long as possible. Don't take any 1vX fights (unless they are all lined up, then gently caress it have fun.) Have a fall back plan. Kill one guy, fall back. Kill another guy, fall back. These should be quick bursts, if you whiff or don't do enough damage to kill, then fall back anyway. Don't sit there spraying your whole clip at the first T you see. The T team would love to trade you 1 for 1, so don't let them. Take thin angles such that you are exposed as little as possible, to make it as difficult as possible for more than 1 T to get positioning on you to shoot at you without hitting his teammate. Once you have no room to fall back and have to go down swinging, try to wait and peek the first guy coming into the site right as he's coming around the corner to your hiding spot. Remember, as long as you stay alive, the T team has to account for you. They'd like to start preparing to shoot at the rotating CTs, but if you're still alive, not all of them can do that. If you're playing a position where you can fall back all the way out of the site entirely, don't be afraid to do so and just wait for the rest of your team, and retake as a group. It is far better than you dying.

On retakes - sometimes you're just gonna be hosed on these. It depends on how your teammates play, and how fast the T team is playing. But try to focus on the things you do have control over. Could you have rotated earlier with the information you had at the time? If not, could you have done something to gain enough information to comfortably rotate sooner, like pushing forward in your site when it was quiet to see that nobody was coming? If your teammates are getting repeatedly owned in the other site, you can always offer to trade positions with them. Also, I feel like a lot of people are too scared of over-rotating and getting yelled at. Just communicate to your teammate in the site that you are rotating, and tell him to be careful as a result. In my experience (LEM), very few teams will do any sort of fancy split strat or fake on a round where they have guns. If there is action in a site, that is most likely where the bomb is going, so get over there. If they get you with a fake...well good for them, I'd still rather play towards the most common situation. Now, T teams on an eco will fake all the time, so I'm much more cautious about rotating in those rounds.

In general on CT one of the biggest things you can do is be harder to kill. Don't play your site in the same spot every round. Mix it up. Play passively sometimes and aggressively other times. Throw a popflash and peek behind it every now and then. Rotate conservatively through CT spawn sometimes, and flank through the middle other times. Don't trade yourself 1 for 1, you want to get more than 1 kill, or at least buy a lot of time. CT starts with a map control advantage, so use it to the fullest.

Thanks a lot, I'll go over my replays and try to look out for the things you mentioned. When I get a chance I'll post one here too as I'm terrible at spotting my own mistakes.

A TURGID FATSO: Jan 27, 2004; Here's to ya, JACKASS

Last night Demo invited me to his four-stack of SMFC/Global friends and I actually held my own and remained a positive score when we got set up against 4 SMFC's and 1 Global. I can tell that my aim is definitely there for the most part, but I still need to work on my positioning a good bit before I know that I can make the jump into the higher ranks. Although I'm willing to bet that it could have also dealt with the enemy team melting down during the first half, but gently caress it, my CS self-esteem is riding high right now.

from personal experience, I will tell you that if you watch one of your own demos I think you will find that your aim is nowhere near as good as you think it is. This applies to everyone.

How the gently caress do people catalogue and recall like 150 individuals smokes and flashes across all these maps when most of them involve lining up with inconsequential map details?

perhaps you should...queue for... the maps you practice?

then again the fact that 64 and 128 tick smokes are different is the stupidest loving thing so

I picked three maps and learned them inside and out. I'm not going to play in tournaments with multiple map rotations. Keep it simple.

Just go into maps and figure out smokes that are easiest for you to duplicate at speed. A smoke that takes 15 seconds to line up isn't always useful.

I play goonmans and MM but goonmans more than MM. But I don't always get to just play the map I practiced for.

But the smokes matter more in MM. So, I dunno.

I think the 128/64 tick difference comes from jumping/movement.

Push El Burrito: May 9, 2006; Soiled Meat

How to smoke properly: stand in a place, look down, look up, look back down, move a little, look back up, aim for a second at some random target, jump and throw, if it hits somewhere helpful you're just king, if it doesn't, "loving 64 tick", repeat next round.

Man you play fighting games - same poo poo as going into training mode and learning links/combos/resets. Just grind it out in offline mode til it becomes second nature.
