20 Tips for Climbing Faceit

[@LarryJL]

*TLDW: * *Points 1-3 & 19:* Don't tilt & be consistent *Points 4, 8 & 9:* Get good aim *Points 5-6:* Learn utility *Points 7, 12 & 17:* Use stats or demos to notice your weak points or just generally be aware of things to learn *Point 10:* Learn movement *Points 11:* Watch pro demos *Points 13-16, 18 & 20:* Play with others and keep both positive solo and teamplay with good communication

[@reboot1337]

I totally agree with the second point-it works like magic! Also, if you learn smokes, make sure they are super easy to remember and keep them simple. Keep repeating smoke lineups every day if you have time. The more you do this, the more you will remember, and in time, you'll build a massive database of utility in your head!

I'm stuck in lvl 4 for a while and decided to stop playing. This video just changed my mindset and motivated me to improve on my game. Thanks a lot with this great video!

[@Ryderdie1]

I’m glad it motivated you! Thanks for watching bro.

[@TM-bi7rj]

Lvl 4 can still be fun. I am typically 5 or 6 but I feel like lvl 4 can be a little more relaxing. It is faceit but you don't have to sweat every game. Try out entry fragging like stewie2k when your team calls for a site. Even if you die a lot you are still having major impact and letting your team trade off of you

[@jollyjames7170]

6 months ago, i watched ur first elo climb video. I think you had a lot of good ideas in that video, but I really like how in this video you emphasize the psychological aspects of playing the game and improving. So many people are stuck in low elo for large psychological mistakes, tilt requeueing is really common, but make speculative decisions that turn the game into a slot machine is what I noticed in my own play. That first video was the catalyst for me to close the gap between what I say I'm gonna do, and what I actually end up doing. I'm 800 elo up into level 9 now, and just wanted to say thanks. Hope to see u in the matchroom soon.

[@Ryderdie1]

I’m glad that my content could help you. Tilt queueing honestly is what holds a lot of people back so I’m glad to hear you were able to identify when you do that and stop. See you on Faceit soon!

[@quanvu6884]

Something interesting which I do us that I warm up playing a ranked game like Zywoo does, while my aim is not so great, I feel that my crosshair placement and spray control are much more solid which is definitely worth trying

[@EvenCobra]

This guide is good, if it comes to aim what i found is that overall aim doesn't matter as much, cs is mostly about preaiming, 90% of time the enemy is going to be in the center area of your screen the overall aim is just to fill in those 10%. for counter strafing, peeking, shooting and decision making i go on csgo and play on a map called procedurally generated training map and i set the difficulty to high. the more mistakes you make the more mistakes you know not to make, there is no secret to improving, its just grind, grind and grind personally im high lvl 5 but im playing with my lvl 10 friend on a average lvl 8 lobby, i can take on them but i really do not enjoy how cs2 plays right now, for now im aim training in kovaaks to get better and for fun, waiting for volvo to fix game (also are you 12k premier?)

[@Ryderdie1]

Yes I am. I don’t play much premier. Thanks for the insight! Also thanks for watching bro.

[@martinzhang5533]

I have been practicing aiming for a while now. Just hit 110k in six shot and consistently averaging 100k+. I'm starting to see some improvements in my game but more often than not I still don't know what to do. Currently 16k in premiere and level 3 in faceit which I don't play often. I think I'll try to grind faceit a bit and see where I can get to.

[@Ryderdie1]

Good luck bro! Join the discord, I'd like to hear how your journey goes.

[@KNDCHV]

9:33 - being confident is the hardest thing for me. I just don't have it...

​​@@Ryderdie1 btw if I remember correctly you don't talk about what you do when in pugs your team or some teamates are toxic ?Do you mute them and keep giving call outs? You don't care and let them talk (which I find very hard tbh)? Or anything else? Hava good one

[@Ryderdie1]

@@freddm160 that’s a really good question. Depending on how much you can ignore the toxic things people are saying, I recommend not muting them. Along with that I continue to give call outs and communicate as if I were playing with my regular ESEA team. Mental resilience is key to climbing.

[@freddm160]

Yeah true about the resilience! I although realize that it really kills my focus and sometimes confidence and that I play better when I just mute them straight away as soon as I understand they are toxic people. I keep giving them call outs but I don't hear them (usually they don't say anything useful anyway tbh). I usually do my best games in silence like this where I just focus on my own game and use the radar for enemy positions.. And also if I don't mute them I'll start arguing with them and things will become even worse. If they are muted it's like they don't exist anymore and it's so relaxing :)

I started 4 weeks ago and initially dropped to 700 elo and am now at 1000. it's frustrating because I'm now just where I was when I made my account, I can't tell if I've actually improved or if this is just fluctuation

[@Ryderdie1]

It really just depends on how many games you’ve played. Elo fluctuating is normal which is why using it as a 1:1 definition of skill can sometimes be inaccurate. If you’re playing with intention, practicing, and consistent, you will improve no matter what.

Strong mental will take you really far.

[@BRZBen]

I’ve been a few wins, sometimes 1 win off level 10 for months, granted at first cos of the difference between cs & cs2 regarding holding / peeking angles I struggled but average is 17 kills a game but I can never seem to get to level 10 Unfortunately I think it’s partly solo queue cos you need to somewhat get lucky to have a good team but for example, I’m 3 wins off level 10, I was gonna be 2 wins away when I played yesterday on inferno and when we were winning 11-8 I smoked deep mid and tried to cross mid to go boiler, got spammed and my teammate started giving me abuse and crying the entire round, saying I’m trolling die instantly every round (literally the first time & also the other team went b 6 rounds at that point and won it almost no contest every time) and said don’t deserve to win etc & then trolled the rest of the game insta pushing mid with a knife and dying…. Literally nobody did anything or was toxic etc to him or anyone before that but it’s shit like this where I’m like I need people to play with cos so many times people come into a game pre tilted and it creates a toxic environment & then you get bellends like that guy^ throwing for no reason out of the blue Faceit also needs to review games you lose from people trolling, or at least people randomly leaving in the first half leaving you with 4 men the whole game & refund your elo cos you’re being punished for losing an unwinnable game that’s completely out of your control
