Honestly I think the biggest obstacle to me getting better is time, if I spend a weekend just playing counter strike then by the end of it I feel like I'm playing like a maniac, but then finding time to play during the week is super tough and by next weekend I'm back to where I started.

Honestly, my severe lack of aim might just be because of this. I started playing GO in 2014, around the time I started my senior year of high school. I had a lot of free time to kill so everyday after school I'd rush through whatever bullshit work I had to get through and play dm, casual, and comp for 4 or 5 hours. Over last summer it was the same deal. If I wasn't working, I'd be playing 6 to 8 hours of CS every day and I could feel myself gradually improve. However, once I got to college and had less free time and more important priorities, I've cut down severely on playing any CS, let alone comp. That probably has hurt my skill the most.

I TK'd a dude throwing on my team earlier for his AWP. I proceeded to get a 3k with no armor to win the round.

The AWP is not a gun for losers, if he wanted to not win he should have thrown it on a rooftop or something, just sayin

Enjoy my gn2 plays bitch

For real though, I placed gn2 which I was happy with played well and hit gn3 pretty quickly and then have spent the past 2 weeks unintentionally throwing 90% of my games by being a big baby noob that's killing my desire to play right now

The price might drop since they are back on the drop table so prices get a little more affordable! I thought I would invest in a FT one a few months ago, but then thought "I bet they'll just reuse the same loving drops as they did in Bloodhound" and sold it for a couple dollars loss. Turns out you should never underestimate the human tendency towards laziness.

e: prices did indeed drop a fair amount. Still not enough that anyone would call them 'cheap' though.
