CS2 is getting hard to play, what problems I have?

[@mithoko890]

one really simple tip i can give is just to play the same angles and sometimes play more passive and sometimes aggressive depending on the situation. Also learning when to go back after a kill is pretty important in higher elo, usually by getting 1 kill you secure the round, but its not always the case so it also depends a lot on the situation. But you have gotten alot better so there has definitely been good improvement, but at higher levels getting better takes longer, so just be patient.

Thanks bro, it has been getting so much harder to get a little improvement. I think I should focus on improving the utility usage and game sense. Thanks for your comment bro!

I will just give you few advices for B defending. 1. Don't waste smoke early in the round, throw it when enemy comes close. 2. 1st spawn gives close molly, 2nd spawn gives deep molly. Learn the lineups for max damage and cover. 3. After you molly, if you hear burning close, bounce the nade of the wall. If you hear burning deep banana, nade wood. 4. Don't bait your teammate. If he is fighting and controlling car, be there for him. If you wanna pull back, call it. 5. Always change positions where you play on B. 6. Learn self pop flashes. 7. Practice angles (off-angles when you defend), movement and aim. 8. Don't wide peek if there is no reason. The point of utility in banana is not just to harm your opponents, but it's also to control banana. You can smoke deep and clear it. After that, teammate can give you another smoke and you can just spot banana, resmoke when needed, while your teammate rotates towards A. When your team has 4 A, they can clear apps, attack mid or second mid, they can do much more than just wait where enemy will attack. While you learning about defending, you can use that in attack. Always check corners and angles that you would play, always expect utility that you would use, and just counter that. Very important - don't peek apps first, wait for short and long play. It's same with Palace on Mirage.

These advices are extremely helpful and easy for me to understand the meaning of it. I haven not yet learning about the spawn, and the only thing I know of it was the spawn decides which site I go in the round, I have no clue about first spawn should throw close molly etc... thanks for that advice. Yes, sometimes I bait my teammates not on purpose especially on CT side, I don't have much awareness of always covering my teammates, and I play passively on CT side, I will play aggressive sometimes depending the situation and my teammates position. I often do a wide peek if I know there is/are people there, so I can kill them possibly lol, might not a wise idea to do always. The last thing you said about thinking apps as palace on Mirage makes so much sense, extremely helpful advices bro! Thanks for your comment.

Hey, I'm watching your vids from time to time. I'm 2300 FACEIT Elo, not the best, but I know something about the game. You lack strafing and counterstrafing, movement basically. Util usage is subpar too, throwing that smoke at 1:30 on the clock when you have Banana control. I mean, you did state it's a horrible smoke, but you have to understand what nades you gotta throw when and why. Oh, and experience. You lack experience. Just play the game. Make sure to watch some pros' demos, the pros that play in your positions. It's very easy to do nowadays when you've got countless channels that upload POV demos on KZbin.

Yeah, that makes sense about the banana control. It seemed like I always give the banana control away, and I did not understand how important to have banana control. My util and game sense are bad, and I currently have no clue how to get these better, I guess I just have to keep playing this game. Thanks for you comment bro, these things are really helpful!

[@masakovske]

@@IsThisPaulYin. It's not bad to give Banana away. At some point in round you'll have to do it and play defensively from the site. But here, you HAD great Banana control but you just... went away blocking your teammate with a smoke AND there wasn't a single danger to the bombsite. The smoke came out not even useless, but harmful. Gamesense comes with experience, yeah, but you constantly have to think about what you're doing and why you're doing it

[@IsThisPaulYin.]

@@masakovske Yes, very true. Thanks for explain these things to me.

[@misterpokinjo]

you seem to play better than me on b site than myself lol, but when taking banana if u have full control try to stay there and not giv it up until u know u actually have to leave example low health, no utility or they have the exact info where you are so you can't hide, on T side in mid round try to calculate the whole game example where did ur tm saw enemy and where could they go what would they be holding or thinking

[@IsThisPaulYin.]

Yes bro, I am lacking of thinking during the middle of the game. I usually just not naturally thinking of how to make a play in a round, and I definitely should get better on that. Thanks for you comment!
