3 people from Envy, Allu, Guardian. Figure Envy is pretty much a lock for the finals but don't know about NiP vs. Na'Vi so I'm splitting it. Not getting gold anyway and if either team wins those are both the most likely to make insane points.

just watching ct side real quick

1. rotate faster on pistol, there's no reason to stand still watching the flank in radio when theyre planting lower, especially if noone shows there
2. you keep burst firing with pistols and smgs (presumably rifles as well but havent seen them yet) but youre half way committing to spraying as well; keep m1 held down or reset your aim and then begin bursting again bc you're getting the worst of both worlds
3. five seven is more accurate than you think dont adjust for recoil like that when they are immediately upon you and fire faster
4. always assume they will boost a person marshmallow when scoping outside and dont let him shoot u twice for fucks sake
5. if you know they have scopes and you are not significantly better than them while on an eco, dont stand still and challenge the awp. if hes alone rush him down and try to make yourself ahrd to hit, if not just wait for him to come to you and play a close angle
6. aug round is alright, you burst better than you've done in previous rounds but the crosshair placement u use is more akin to an awp's and a decent awp would be able to deffo snipe you from that position, but it worked out. also, you should have recognized the dude in vents quicker and, personally, i would not have tried to rush him down unless you thought for sure he'd be going upper (he might have faked out going up one of the ladders but i wasnt paying close enough attention)
7. round 22 you would have been exposed to mini staying on the roof of hut if they pushed it, but you rotated off of it before that could happen and actually peeked them, and i think that the aggressive move was the correct decision so gj
8. dont reload so much
9. no reason to work over to radio and chestbump ur friend when a teammate has pushed it and theyve shown outside, just set up a crossfire in lobby, push together, and once u dont see anybody immediately fall off
10. work on fundamentals
10a. play dm
10b. play aim maps
10c. yolo
10d. eat ur dorites
10e. you know what it is (black and yellow)

thats about it

Thanks for the effort dude, but, uh, I think you watched someone else from my team. I was nowhere near radio on pistol, only used the 5-7 once (and at standoff distance then), I used the AUG for like 10 seconds in the last round before getting dropped without firing a shot, round 22 I'm in the warehouse outside, getting AWPed. I think I know who these apply to, though, so I'll pass them on. Thanks anyway!

well you should fuckin tell us who you are, i watched the top fragger ct side second half (dj or something like that) because thats the name that came up as the person who the demo belonged to

edit: oh i see why that is, csgo defaults to whoever the first person is on the scoreboard anyway do thats why it said it was pj's

see the highlights, lowlights section, that's why i though it was him. you have the same steam/sa username which feels rare, i just completely overlooked it

tbh tho just going off the past page:

conversation piece = vlc player
unbound = flashbang
smithereens = frosted bun

and i could find more goons where the names they go by on steam dont match up with their sa user name. i went with the first thing i saw and ran with it because i didn't want to spend a whole afternoon doing a demo review and just overlooked tevery on the scoreboard. hell, i dont even think i read sa usernames often so i don't think its that big of an overlook to miss tevery best's name

in regards to the demo again, you might just want to contextualize what i've said about your friend and try yo apply to urself, because he is demonstrably better than you on nuke and the post would be likely much longer and more scathing if i rewrote it. actually, the best thing might be to download a nuke demo from sub.io and watch the top ct player from both teams when they play. granted, nuke can be very "i dont give a poo poo about this game anymore" when its picked in gmans, but the top fragger 99% should actually be a person that's trying. you'll get to see two different playstyles on the map and just ask yourself basic cs questions. "why does he rotate now", "why does he use his grenades in x situation", "why does or doesn't he check this area", etc. you'll get the comms too so you can get a general gist of what decent comms are (goons are p bad at communicating but their better than most people, also you hear t and ct comms simultaneously so it can be a verbal clusterfuck). then, it basically comes down to getting movement and shooting down, and, yeah, thats just something you need to hammer into muscle memory.

Yeah, didn't mean to indict you for that or anything, sorry if I sounded that way. You're doing the good thing and poo poo, I kinda goofed by not pointing out the username thing. Cheers.

edit: also maybe I shouldn't even handled this as a demo, because honestly my performance CT side in that game was absolutely abysmal. If you just watch me there, you'd be done in like two minutes. I was second in my team T side, then I go outside on CT and have no clue whatsoever how to handle that. Tried playing warehouse - got dropped, tried to play near mini - got dropped, tried to play up close - nobody showed up. I got two kills in eight rounds, died every time. So, if anyone has tips on holding outside nuke, I'd appreciate that.
