CS:GO - How to Be a Better Clutch Player

[@BennyTheChiller]

i love clutching ... it gives me adrenalin kicks when you play 1v3 or 1v4

[@exaxtclan3279]

ur cringey lol

[@david8sau]

My problem is i drink much energy drinks and when i'm in a clutch situation i cant handle my mouse anymore xD

[@kratos9524]

True, Usually when you feel the adrenalin, you would be able to stop a horde of a hundread people

[@Bigdownloadr]

or 1v5

[@ranchyhdmapping2436]

I got 2 1v5 clutches in one match like ez cuz adrenalin :j

[@hkm93]

That "heart beating faster" thing is real xD Good Job m8.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🔥🔫

[@h1tsc4n40]

How 2 i clutch? 1v5.... i kill 4, the last one activates spinbot and nukes me. Otherwise.... 99 in 12313123 hits...

[@joshsumner1611]

I know its been 2 years but *fucking how 2 i clutch seriously*

[@david8sau]

You forgot to say that not shooting on enemys is sometimes the key to win in clutches. Cause u could get instead of 1 kill the whole round. But good video :)

[@quillgt3404]

Wut i Dont Understand

[@scullseventyr]

[@badpunkgamer4799]

wat is clutch

[@ruijikisu]

I thought I could never do it, but recently it has gotten a lot better. Something that helped me was not to try doing something just for the sake of doing something, but sticking to a plan. Running in never works. And just when youre about to do it, wait and an enemy will run at you, that happens a lot.

[@WantedTheJ]

ルイジクス when i first tried comp, I was pretty shit. Teammate tells me not to rush, just wait for them to come. I did what they said and it works

[@StarXsu90]

For me getting ANY SORT of info will help me Clutch. If i dont have any. I just blindly run into a site not clearing anything.

[@EE-hj7cm]

I seriously love how you touch topics that not all others cover...

[@seshanweeraratne9581]

Love your videos! Keep up the good work :) Watching your videos has helped me get out of Silver and playing with slightly higher ranks has made CS:GO more enjoyable for me and I can't thank you enough!

[@domnx8967]

I don't see why people in the comments are saying to mute your teammates. I play as the clutch player in my team and I can easily say that even randoms can give good callous

[@harry47richards]

DomNX so your defined role is to bait :>

[@Repeal209]

DomNX and sometimes teammates remind you of the utilities you didn't realize you had

[@domnx8967]

Harry Richards I actually don't bait that much. What I mean is that they could hear footsteps that you don't for example.

[@domnx8967]

Leaper Exactly!

[@OooldG]

You're only supposed to mute them when they're being annoying

[@ignorerad6780]

6 people will never be able to clutch and 4 of them are your teammates LMFAO

[@abdulmomin7420]

where dat twitch link at doe boiii?

[@LongBarrel]

I knew I was forgetting something, thanks for reminding me!

Do you know you put your twitter link on "Stream"? I guess you are using twitch XD Stream: twitter.com/LongBarrel1

[@LongBarrel]

I legit must be retarded, there is no other explanation.

jajajajaja what time was when you upload the video? Maybe you were tired xD We'd accept you anyway

[@abdulmomin7420]

btw long barrel you should upload full games where you did good :)

[@codywerner2161]

I think time management is a huge hindering factor at the lower ranks (of which I'm a part of) when compared to more experienced players. Many times players seem to be indecisive about what to do and run the clock down while waiting for something to happen which more often then not, loses an otherwise potentially winnable round. Great video homie

[@iamclydieCS]

thats right! thank you for explaining this

[@jablanguado7738]

"Attempting a clutch will gain you valuable experience which you can apply to other aspects of the game" Very true. While watching, he explained to try to make every situation in a clutch a 1v1. With that in mind, previous memories of many failed clutches came of how I had done the wrong thing many times. Previous memories showed me exactly where I should be peeking because they're almost always in those positions.

[@pengwang8364]

Lol my first clutch all the t's were at A on dust 2 and i just kept peeking and picking a short with the m4a1s.

[@Lionbug]

Watching this cause I just lost a 1v5 in Rainbow six siege after killing 4 of them ;____;

[@waffleandchicken]

improving your pistol skills (usps, p250, five seven, and tec9) will help you in many aspects of the game but I found that it boosted my confidence in clutch situations vastly.

[@ShinsukeMoriya]

Thanks, boi. I had CSGO on my library just to be able to get rare skins and sell them for a long time now. I've started playing more and have been improving a lot on CSGO thanks to your series. Keep doing your amazing job. Even tho i'll be facing a lot of people that have learned from you. lol

[@frederikwill8317]

i really wanna thank you longbarrel, you made my Gameplay much more effektive already and i will keep Holding on and watching your Videos :)

[@hidingman3578]

My biggest problem in the past has been not being sure about my plan. I just half follow through with a certain action in a clutch situation, and end up exposed. It's really important to just go through with your plays

[@PinkAnt]

You forgot to say buy the clutch graffiti!

[@KinG-ct6tc]

PinkAnt omg it’s u I didn’t know u play countered strikes

[@novackshvh3927]

[@Dairis]

Watching this video i remember my eco round clutch, basically... I was CT and head kevlar + five seven, they were terrorists, they had ak's and 2 awp's, i killed 4 of them with five-seven and to fifth guy i did -99 damage in 1 hit, but still it was a nice try :D

[@alanangelo5100]

thanks for all the tutorials! I am a CS 1.6 player before and it's been a while since I played CS. CS GO is totally different feel from 1.6. watching you tutorials are really great and I am learning a lot from you! Keep it up!

[@doom7418]

Every video you uploaded helped me, I'm MG in 45 days :D

[@hungryhughes1916]

Just 1 questions: How longs your barrel?

[@uioup7453]

Then, "I am the one and only" plays, while the whole team screams, and if you win, you are a pub lord.

[@TRClockwork]

Another good tip during every round that WILL help in clutches, ecos and literally everything else is whenever an enemy dies... no not even just that, keep an eye on your mini map. This will help you reveal exactly where someone was hiding earlier, where they're going, and if by some reason it will help you you can look at the death tab in the top right to see what gun they were using

[@TRClockwork]

The game doesn't just rely on pointing and shooting, but there are a lot of people who don't know that

[@lukechapman3525]

U N Honestly if theres one thing i can tell you is to make your crosshair placement unnaturally high, most of my silver mates aim at the stomach or lower, it feels weird but you get used to it and you get bang bang hs every time you peek aaround a corner att close range

[@nicobriones3389]

hey Long everytime your video ends your inspirational words makes me hyped to play cs:go more even beter thanks

[@chadiel9152]

this is probably a noob question, but what is a clutch?

[@LongBarrel]

A clutch in counter strike is basically winning a 1vX situation. Lets say you're in a 1 versus 2 situation and you win, that's a clutch.

[@chadiel9152]

ok, thx

[@YoloMonstaaa]

When you win a round you shouldn't have won because the enemy had the advantage.

[@kendrickbelga2629]

Im a clutch player and i have done so many 1v3 and 1v4.. I also had a 1v5 but on the eco of enemy team.. the best one is that u should always position wherein u can isolate ct's and force them to take 1v1 fights :)

[@joakimsund4845]

I didnt need to watch this vid, but as an experience global elite, this video is spot on and extremly useful for players who need to get better:) video is explained as I would my self :) gj and gl guys on ur road to pro

[@slus2763]

When I first performed a clutch, my teammates always judged me that I would fail or lose, but I didn't hear them, and it wasn't a BIG clutch, it was a 1v2 situation, but I managed to win that round. That was my first ever clutch I performed.

[@david_ngo]

I find playing wingman helps with the mental state of clutching. If you can get used to everything depending on you taking down two enemies, you will do better in clutching in comp

[@7week843]

LongBarrel. I need to comment for once in my life... When people get nervous and higher heartbeat it has been proven that the person thinks as much as 4 people combined. The head goes into overload and thinks waaaaaaay more than one person combined. Thats why the clutch seems possible bcs most people can think and guess where all the enemies are. U did wrong on that man. I always get higher heartbeat and nerves but my aim doesnt suffer. My brain grows and I read where all my opponents are.

[@zeejshh684]

[@rainyan6632]

You should've give some tips like where to push, where to smoke and moli, For example, mirage, pushing from connector against 2 player is death wish. And B short is the same

[@francis-jaycabato1855]

Oddly enough against what was stated in this video, I seem to clutch better with adrenaline. When my heart beats faster, I feel like I can concentrate better. I think faster, and I process information faster. I don't know if it's a bad thing, but it has worked out for me. For future reference, should I continue to rely on adrenaline?

[@vintovkasnipera]

Whenever I clutch, it's not my luck. Today itself, I and my UMP-45 won a 1v3 on Inferno. One was at B, one at the junction between Construction and Banana and one was at the sniper crate in Banana.

[@drenthoventure3605]

I Absolutely love your videos dude. So good and helpful! Looking forward to you streaming ;)

thanks brother, appreciate the support!!!

[@JP0748]

to be honest I use my nerves to keep my edge in a clutch, and I think it helps me a lot more, when I have emotion and want to clutch it

[@Danchoitaolao]

How about the factor of hp? You got hurt for 99 and every other enemy has about 90 hp or more... Would it be better to save than to try for a clutch?

[@user-jy4hf7fo5l]

I Don't know if you do but do you think you could make an updated video of how to stay constintant. I'm dmg and sometimes I do 11 and 1 then I play really badly after that and end up with like 22 and 24 . But then when it comes to clutching I seem to be able to maintain good control. Nice video by the way.

[@noah2222k]

You deserve way more subs

[@LongBarrel]

thanks man, appreciate the support

[@milkloverenterprises3367]

I think the reason I’m losing clutches is because I don’t know what to do. I can frag but since I’m in dumb places and doing dumb things when clutching, it makes it harder to win

[@arifahmirizali5953]

"Clutch or Kick" #WelcomeToTheSilverClub

[@Apteryx526]

In clutch moments and teammates are yelling in mic make a bind to turn and off voice enable

[@nabby119]

the first step would be to play for the win and not a potential clutch...what i mean by that, dont play a round thinking you will clutch, dont bait for a clutch, and be in the mentality of thinking that you are playing with your team for tags and round win, not for thinking you are going to be the one to clutch when teammates havent even died yet

[@useless9805]

I have been stuck in so many 1v2/1v3 and the worst thing people do is say how you got headshot from stairs. The best thing you can do is tell your teammate where the enemy was and then please shut up and let them concentrate

[@ethanvu7360]

i like how he means to suppress your instincts and say its just a game

[@mistletoe88]

good analysis, but you did not cover the situation where you're trying to clutch as the lone CT with bomb not planted. That is actually a lot harder since there is a lot about map awareness, positioning, listening for sound cues, timing the rotation and also the mind games that come into play especially since the Ts could literally be anywhere on the map and not just around the usual camping sites around the bomb.

[@lassevejlby1467]

Hello i'm a global play myself and play alot of faceit aswell and some of your videos has helped me to get even a better player! just wanna say thanks alot and keep up the great work! ;D

[@LongBarrel]

thanks bro, appreciate it! Glad I could help.

[@tiuhti__]

I always freeze up in clutches bc I'm afraid to make any noise so I just shift walk the entire time and then I don't have any time to defuse or plant.

[@TheUnreliable]

This is actually great lifa advice too!

[@reaver8338]

I feel like when I'm in clutch I always get nervous or my aim get shaky sometimes

[@reaver8338]

yeah and im trying to somehow stop doing that

[@samuraiii6434]

Reaver take deep breath , have a mindset like u hv nothing to lose , and believe u can do it, don't panic .... I have clutched thrice , with 2 1 vs 3 and 1 1v4

What should I do if i know my crosshair is too big, it's not good and I know it, but if I make it smaller I won't be able to see it?

[@huanm2676]

Everytime I try to clutch, my heat gets pumped up and focused more on the game. Is it normal

[@TheAudreyT]

this happened to me yesterday, I was losing the game hard and I was last alive to a full team of awps on the enemies I found a spot in my spawn hid and I heard them coming so I threw a smoke at a corner to make it seem like I was hiding in the smoke and I am playing the MC version of this and the teams are of 8 and 2 of the enemies died I saw them go and spray into the smoke and I waited a second and I killed 3 of them with my ak then I killed another 2 with my P250 and I had one left and I was fully out of ammo I ran around as he tried to awp and deagle me I reloaded and I shot him and I won a 6v1 clutch.

[@ulyssessait]

longbarrel, are u playing on 1920x1080? or only for recording purpose?

[@LongBarrel]

yep, I play 1920x1080

[@ulyssessait]

LongBarrel im still undecided btween stretch n blckbar.. but seeing u doing HS in full HD makes me feel trying fullHD.. huhuu

[@LongBarrel]

***** 200-300

[@LongBarrel]

it all depends on your graphics card, obviously playing on low settings and a low resolution will boost your fps but it won't be too much as csgo is a cpu heavy game and not gpu.

[@hydra_aa1753]

zuzurino monitors don't support high fps anyway 60hz -cap 120 75hz-cap 150 144hz-cap 200 if you don't choose to cap gl but the screen will feel heavy and it will not move as freely also it will actually feel smother when capped because the monitor can't support it so it will start trying to keep up with frames when it's capped it can keep a up and will perform better

[@uorundertakerofroblox9671]

Well my first clutch (I just wanna say) was with I guess 4 CT players and myself alone with AWP. I was on the bombsite B planted the bomb. I wish I could have recorded it (it was casual)

what button do you use for toggle voice_enable?

[@pavelnikiforov4294]

[@rishavraychaudhury5799]

i once clutched a totally lost match because the dude who threw a molotov was very close and he threw the molly and it bounced right off me and he hadnt reloaded his M4A1 when he had got it.

[@smellymewi]

Sometimes, I have been placed in these 2 vs 1 or 3 vs 1 situation and I have no idea where they are. However, my team just keep silence and tell me to do it by myself. I attempt to clutch it but failed. Next round, I got kicked.

[@GenericInternetter]

Controlling Your Nerves: *B R E A T H E !* Without noticing it, people tend to hold their breath in difficult situations and this causes them to get reckless after a few seconds because their brain is reacting to a lack of oxygen. It's a mild version of the panic feeling you get when you hold your breath underwater for a long time. I don't remember the exact technique, but US Navy Seals have a specific breathing skill that they use in combat situations that enables them to remain calm and focused. If I remember correctly, you fill your lungs with a big sharp breath, hold it for a just few seconds, then let go of the breath and let your breathing happen naturally. Every time I do this before a difficult situation I perform better; This applies in everything, not just CS:GO. _TLDR: TAKE A BIG SHARP BREATH BEFORE YOU CLUTCH. NEVER HOLD YOUR BREATH._

[@IncompYT]

Gotta make the video past the 10:00 mark for that sweet ad revenue :^)

[@adidas4785]

Whenever its a 1 v 1 I tell my team to be quiet, that way you hear footsteps, you can concentrate, and you won't be aggrivated

[@rasmustikka1505]

I'm in my opinion I'm good at clutching I've got like 1v4s so often nowadays I feel like my aim is better when I'm clutching. Maybe It's just like because everyone is quiet . I've noticed that I play much much better on SoloQ matches than with premade. I guess it's because I'm not as nervous to clutch when it's soloQ than playing with friends because I just feel that my friends will get like mad on me if I fail.

[@vorieds2458]

Do you do 1 on 1 training?

[@ozcarplayz1656]

I remember my last comp on the last round. We had a lead of like 10 rounds, and i had an awp and went mid with a friend, Everyone dies(but noone in the enamy team) and i can't aim for shit. But the i pick off 3 guys mid and start heading to b. I feelt my heart beating like crazy. But then i remember Warowls video about annexiaty(or something like that) and that you should let yourself make a mistake, adn i remember this vid, about being calm. So i think, where could they be, i see i have like 15 sec, so i just jump and plant the bomb. As luck whould have it, the guy standing short shot, but missed, if he woulda not shot, he whould kill me, but i pick him off, and head to mid. My heart is soon gonna jump out of my chest, i try staying calm, and it working, i feelt good, confident. And the last guy just runs into my sights and BAM! u know the rest.
