[@iCantEditBro]

Important note tor DMing: Do not under any circumstances take your K/D, kill streaks, any performance indicators seriously. DMing should be use purely for working on aim fundamentals, if you find yourself getting frustrated because you're not hitting your shots or are getting spawn killed constantly, take a break. Remember, DMing is not indicative of your future game performance. You can outfrag an entire server for an hour and immediately bottom frag your next 3 matches.

[@left9096]

Lol this has happened to me so many times

[@CrackyBoi69]

Absolutely. Can't count the amount of times I've DMed before a Faceit session only to perform poorly. Conversely, there have been days where I do not warm up and top frag. It's all about the consistency.

Lvl 8 reaching lvl 9 for the first time in cs2 here. Love the advice you give here especially confidence. What I found works for me the best is working with the team to make winning plays. Remember to all new counter strike players, there’s always a way to win no matter your stats, no matter the score.

[@HowieRaps]

The craftiness of pro's is a huge tip, I've recently started watching the pros on faceit and they come up with so many unique and borderline troll strategies that actually work. I have been using smokes a lot more as a sneaky 1way or hideout more than just blocking off high traffic areas.

[@EvenCobra]

you could also watch demos of a similarly ranked players or opponents in your games and act like you're the coach, calling out the good plays and mistakes if it comes to sensitivity the absolute golden value is the one that allows you to do a 360 rotation, but what's interesting that you will always be more consistent on lower sensitivity especially if you're using a speed mousepad and fast skates or just a glass mousepad and you don't have good mouse control(the dpi also matters with high dpi there will be more steps than with low one, you can see that by setting dpi to 400 and cs sensitivity to something like 5) that's because on higher sensitivity the little movements matter more and that can dictate if you will get a headshot or miss your shot entirely, that's why good aimers with better mouse control benefit more from less friction between the mouse and the mousepad so if you feel like you're missing your shots you could lower the sensitivity but keep in mind that you are bottlenecking yourself if you get shot from the back

[@iCantEditBro]

yeah I was a 400dpi 1.4 god when I was younger but having to do 2 full swipes for a 180 is rough on your shoulder. I mean I still did and could make those frags but man it will cause fatigue if you play multiple matches in a row.

[@EvenCobra]

@@iCantEditBro i used to play on 800 at 0.55 at that sensitivity you would have to go from one side of the desk to the other to go a full 360, now im playing 800(i divide it by 4 using rawaccel so its 3200 but the speed of 800) at 0.866(60cm to do a 360) Now that i think about it 0.55 was such a crazy sensitivity to play at

[@SpartaCraft22965]

Great advice! I personally would even put communication as a higher priority to learn around level 3-4 so that people can at least call "Location > Number of Enemies > Damage/Action" (i.e. pushing, walking, ran back etc.) Not necessarily to do strats, but teammates are much more helpful if they tell me when they have contact (as long as it's simple and accurate, not "THEY'RE ALL HERE HELP" when it was 1 dude). My early climb would've been a lot easier if more people at least told me what the enemies are doing in their deathcam haha. Another banger video with concentrated information 👍

[@Ryderdie1]

One thing I should have also mentioned is map awareness. In much lower ranks and solo queue in general, you can’t count on your teammates to communicate anything really. Having good map awareness really helps. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching, Sparta!

[@CoJoMoCS]

This video was extremely helpful! Thanks for the recommendation

[@left9096]

Great video, just one small nitpick: it's actually perfectly fine to change your sensitivity. It won't mess with muscle memory (which doesn't really exist in the way people think) and practicing on higher sens can actually be helpful for e.g smoothness. Voltaic has an article that goes into more depth, I think it's called "Why muscle memory is seen as a meme in the aiming community" or something like that. Anyway, keep up the good work, your videos are so useful.

[@sensefulprods1629]

Important note overall: changing your sensitivity is completely fine and It's a huge myth that your 'muscle memory' is built on your sensitivity. You can change it as much as you want and no you won't be worse usually unless your sensitivity is actually too high to be accurate or too slow to make proper flicks. You'll adapt to your new sensitivity in minutes lol.

[@Ryderdie1]

I’ve noticed that with my own personal experience. I think people put too much emphasis on their peripheral, settings, raw aim, and not enough focus on game sense and basic fundamentals. Anyway, thanks for watching!

I’ve watched a bunch of your videos Ryderdie since I found your channel, I love all the advice. I’ve taken recently also into working 30 mins - 45 mins of my day dming on pracc. I’ve been a hardstuck level 7-8 on faceit. After playing dm and running into a match I still seem to be losing duels at times and also bad positioning. You make the game look so effortless sometimes. Is there a way for me to get out of my level 7-8? I peaked at 1725 but then dropped down to 1530. It really sucks… Everytime I drop down to 1500 it starts getting in my head because I hate being 7 or below. Do you have any advice for me? I’ve been stuck 7-8 between the elo for the past 8 months since picking up the game again…

Like I mentioned in the video it really depends on what skill level you’re at. But playing games is one of the best ways to improve regardless of the skill level.

At what ping does your gunfights start to get affected?I play on 70-200 ping on Chinese platforms like 5e and I am seriously considering switching to faceit sea

[@Ryderdie1]

Try and play where the ping is the lowest, but as far as when ping starts to effect performance, I know for myself anything above 85~ it becomes unplayable. Thanks for watching!

[@iCantEditBro]

If you're going from 70 to 200ms constantly during the match, it's unplayable against competent competition. Especially if they have a good ping that doesn't change often, you won't be able to hold a single angle with high ping

For a player who is lvl 9 in faceit, and 6000 hours of playing time, death matching is actually good only if you want better awareness

I 100% disagree with this

[@shroomy2k]

@@Ryderdie1 96% of the players only drone it and don't really think about crosshair placement and don't do proper counter strafing with A+W or D+W and the A+D strafing, so you might disagree with me but death matching is actually worsen your gameplay, not only with gameplay but with mentality if you don't hit your first couple of shots its over.. most people just death match just to deatch match. And not playing a proper game, and rewatching your own mistakes. People will Raw dog everything and just play shit ton of matches in order to gain gamesense and gameplay strats.

[@schabigerlump]

And another advice, how to waste less time, learn dodging. You dont want to play with 4stack of 0.6kd bots. You dont want to play with fishy new accounts with steam level 0 from russia. Also you dont want to join a lobby with 2 random ukros and 2 random russkies in one team. Just make a bunch of unsimilar alt accounts or simply buy them, verified russian acc costs single digit eur price. if you are paranoid, use voice and hw id changer and vpn. Also in EU block 4 worst servers infested with russkies and 100ms kazakhs. And the most important, wait for another platform and hope they deliver their promises (similat region and ping based mm)

I got back to CS after six months and have been kinda stuck. Haven’t played faceit yet since Im barely 5.5k prem. Ive been playing DMs almost every day for the past 3 months. Some days I dont. I practice my recoil, i do pre fire maps and sometimes Kovaaks. My aim just keeps getting worse and worse statistically according to Leetify. My friends are outperforming me now with way less experience and no practice at all. Recently got into a scrim server with people of all skill levels. I would be so inconsistent whenever I played with my friends but would feel more consistent when I play with a random 5 stack in one of those scrims. They had better coms, util, and just general game sense. Not sure if my performance is tied to my team but it just feels like I cant improve my aim. Has anyone experienced this?
