A fairly young and erratic team with a high peak performance. Their record against the very best teams isn't too great though. I think if Astralis had beaten NiP they would have probably beaten Immortals too, but NiP are like Astralis' kryptonite. I wonder if they have a worse record against any other team?

So I spent the last week and a half playing at 900 effective DPI (dpi x sens) and realized that I'm sucking way too much at tracking to justify the use. Back to 800 effective even if I can't flick backwards as insanely it's still good enough. Guess playing all this long you just get used to something. No reason to change. I also tried an experiment a few weeks back to do 700 effective DPI. Found that way too slow. Audax fucked around with this message at 04:53 on Jun 21, 2016 |

If I need to turn in a hurry then I'm probably hosed, but I was already in a bad spot to begin with. I can't really do any fancy movement tricks but at least I can click heads.

Getting a decent mouse with a good sensor allows you to have a little higher sens and still be precise. Not that mine's crazy high but it's about smack in the middle of what pros use, when mcvey here disconnected his mouse in an effort to further lower his

Anyone in this thread want to give some advice to a silver player trying to get up to gold? Last year I played CSGO a few hours a week, and was gold nova 2 or so, but now I can get seem to get back there after taking several months off. I used to play CS 1.6 quite a bit back in like 2009 or whatever, so I understand most of the concepts and such, but just cant seem to make the next step. I find I am almost always losing the 'fair' battles 1v1 with rifles. My AK / M4 spam is pretty bad. But I get a decent amount of kills from map positioning or having the jump on people. My best gun right now is probably the P90. Should I stick with that even though its not the best gun? Are there certain guns I should be buying every round at our at each stage? I normally go First Round Terrorist Tec 9 and Flash First Round CT Body Armour w/ usp-s Second Round Terrorist Mac 10 with armour Second Round CT UMP with armour Inbetween Rounds P90 with armour flash , HE Buy CT M4A1s armour , flash , he Buy T Ak47, armour, flash, smoke vincentpricesboner fucked around with this message at 13:57 on Jun 21, 2016 |

Play more death match and when you feel confident there move to ffa dm. I have been using workshop maps like aim training to get more consistent aim and meaningful warmup time

zapplez posted:Anyone in this thread want to give some advice to a silver player trying to get up to gold? I noticed quite the difference when I adjusted my aiming. I consciously remind myself "higher" when just running or turning round corners. Keeping my crosshair head level has done wonders for my overrall game. I win more 1 v 1 as my first shot is typically head high and if it connects it ends the fight quickly (duh). The other was making my crosshairs custom, a color that stands out, and enough space to fit a head in at midrange to help 'assist' my aiming. Being aware of my crosshairs instead of just letting the stock on blend into the background, I constantly find myself correcting my aim from where I thought I was aiming vs where I actually was. I know I ask for advice and am silver 2 but this is stuff that helped me. I'm not the best, love getting my poo poo pushed in because that's how you get better. Hell my first goon server game I managed 1 kill. The second 3. 10 after that. Play with goons. Die a lot. Learn

Soulex posted:*pending teammates that aren't a part of the normal CSGO community. There is nothing about teamwork in these videos. It's all tips for individual skill. That's enough to carry hard enough to get gold, trust me. You probably only need to start worrying about teamplay around high novas (some would claim that doesn't happen until eagle but they're being too hyperbolic imo) The good news is that it's really simple to get these basics down if you practice them and do deathmatch to learn how to click heads, and you'll skyrocket in your rank.

Oh yeah, imo a molly is a better buy than the HE if you can afford it. It's a guaranteed cleared angle, or a guaranteed stopped/weakened rush. ~30hp less on an enemy from a lucky grenade isn't important enough in silver, and in silver all grenades that take any HP off your enemies will be lucky. Good T molly examples: NBK/fence on A site cache (that's the corner of fence/squeaky hallway) by banking it off the quad warheads; behind box in checkers near B site. Good CT mollies: whatever chokepoint they're gonna run through that you can molly without exposing yourself. If you want to know more nades, flashes, smokes etc. then look up guides or whatever, but it's worth knowing how to improvise a nade, and in silver you don't ever need to pull out a single nade, just making sure your aim and burst is on point is enough. Watch a demo from your last played games on someone other than yourself and pay attention to how many shots and sprays they whiff, and how much time they give you to wreck all of them. It is educational to perform that same experiment on yourself afterwards dex_sda fucked around with this message at 16:39 on Jun 21, 2016 |

You probably only need to start worrying about teamplay around high novas (some would claim that doesn't happen until eagle but they're being too hyperbolic imo) The video (just watched the first) is really good and learned yet another new thing to practice. What I'm saying with teammates is based on my experience thus far. My team always splits up when we make a call to rush together. Not like split rush A, but Rush B and one or two wander off and go A instead of helping bomb or worse, taking bomb off to somewhere out in the middle of nowhere. The second is that even as the top fragger or whatever, you're only going to be able to do so much if your team is getting killed, not listening to call outs, or defending the objective and choosing to hunt instead. I'm pretty consistently on the top or second for my team in MM and even then, I can't go against 3 plus people a round every time. I'm just at the point where everyone wants to do their own thing and complain when they start losing. I'm not the leader or one that gives orders more oft than not, but when we have bomb and you don't come back to defend it and instead try to run around finding the last two, getting caught out and killed off one by one, it makes it harder to clutch and win matches. That's my biggest issue really.

Eh somewhat un-true, you can solo carry, it just gets harder as the skill gap between you and the enemies closes, but if you can trade kills without getting banged up too badly (again easier at lower ranks) you can easily carry round after round.

Soulex posted:The video (just watched the first) is really good and learned yet another new thing to practice. You are correct that CS:GO community sometimes does that. Especially in lower ranks, because this game being what it is, everyone thinks they're better. It's much easier to pick out mistakes when watching than to avoid them in the first place (I bet you can notice when a pro makes a mistake while watching a match!), so people get toxic because they're convinced they know better. They're convinced they're right, and you're the shitter. Especially if you solo, you can't avoid that. This is true. Here's the thing, though. You obviously have a few big advantages over most teammates in silver. For one, you know to stick with the bomb instead of hunting frags. For another, you're willing to watch videos to learn how to apply basics correctly, and train that, and then translate it to competitive. That's something you can control, and you're in luck, because I guarantee you, in silver, that is enough to take on 2-3 people each round on average. Predict where your enemies could be, aim there before they are there, click head (into a decent spray if you miss), three times a round. They give you enough time to do that, so don't panic, just worry about getting the frags that come to you. Give decent callouts, shut up when dead and just keep to your thing. Apply good vibes carefully, but liberally. Sometimes your teammates will be so poo poo you'll lose despite top fragging. But you'll consistently be swinging the game in your favor, and that's enough for 70+% of the games to be won. And that's enough to skyrocket you into ranks where lonewolfing is not enough. But people in those ranks actually listen to a rush call, sit on the bomb, and don't throw away advantages (currently, that point is around low MG1) dex_sda fucked around with this message at 16:56 on Jun 21, 2016 |

This isn't a bad thing necessarily. A lot of cts use most of their grenades in like the first 20 seconds of a match to counter rushes. Like if the ts decide to rush long on dust 2 and the cts throw 2 frags into long double doors at the start of the round the ts are going to get demolished. So you wait 30 seconds to push. By then though the odds of a ct sticking his nose out somewhere are pretty high. So to stick with the dust 2 example if you're all waiting outside long for the smoke and the frags to go away and the b guy decides to push into upper dark he's going to call that no one is there so there will be 4 guys waiting for you on a and you're going to get pushed from behind when you're moving out. So people split up to counter ct aggressionand info gathering. There is a wide difference between halting the cts and getting into a fight you can die in though. Getting them to regroup and attack in unison is the challenge because gently caress you you're not my real dad. So like if 4 of you hang out outside long and one guy waits in upper dark and at 1:30 the four of you head out long the outside b guy can head towards short and maybe catch that guy if he's pushing. I'm just saying the other players do have a thought process whether or not you agree with it. Goofballs fucked around with this message at 17:21 on Jun 21, 2016 |

Through luck and determination I finally was able to defend the bomb and kill the CTs. I yelled at him in chat for a solid minute and the other team was even like "yeah you don't do that idiot." I can only hope that I either find some goons or other friends around the same level I am to make it out of silver, or that prime will eventually weed out the majority of the players that are making it difficult for me. Thanks again!

There's a goon group in the OP somewhere, includes low nova/high silver players that will probably be less toxic. I don't really queue up with anyone cause I enjoy the aspect of meeting new people each time but many people prefer to queue up with someone they at least tolerate, you might have luck asking there. A lot of silvers now are really extra toxic too because Valve adjusted the ranks and some of them were around GNM before, so they're convinced they are the poo poo. It's really rough down there now, I got dropped into GN2 after three months of inactivity and while I climbed that accidental smurf to MG2 with only 2 losses it was really bad, people are the worst. At least there's nothing funnier than a kid raging at you for narrowly missing a 1v5 while you're on 40 frags and he's on 4 lol. But keep improving individually and you'll climb out of the shithole. You're from Europe, right (I assume this since I see you in the Serie A thread)? If you were from America I'd recommend goonpugs to get a taste of a decent game every now and again lol. dex_sda fucked around with this message at 17:46 on Jun 21, 2016 |

Is it just me or are the FAMAS and Galil just loving awful in GO? I remember them being decent in Source and 1.6 if you didn't have AK/M4 cash but I always find myself saving the extra dough and just buying an MP7 if the budget is tight.

The Galil is a pretty decent pickup on CT side, and the FAMAS can be used well, but a Galil is not good enough to overpower a defense without some nutty shots, and a FAMAS just tends to loving not score you a kill even though you could swear it should. I usually force up with an UMP + nades or an MP7 + nades. Or pistol + nades. Or a naked M4 instead of a FAMAS + nades, the only time I will not prioritize utility.

How far can I progress up the ranks just rushing with a shotgun/smg? I'm currently GN3 with absolutely no idea any rifle spray patterns etc. I pretty much just charge with a nova/sawed off/mag 7/p90 every round. I'm pretty new to counterstrike, and I only have 38 wins.
