Hello Mr. Checkmark sir

[@badrat4448]

RIP SoloQ to Global. It was a good series but I get why you had to end it. Hopefully this will be a great follow up!

[@CabbageYe]

Why did he have to

[@re.liable]

@@CabbageYe IIRC it's something about the trust factor and matchmaking. WarOwl might've mentioned something in this vid but I haven't finished it yet

[@VanquishR]

@@CabbageYe NA MM is anywhere from brain dead to unplayable. Unfortunately, you find people who just downloaded the game (no blame on them), accidental smurfs (since ranking up is essentially impossible), and cheaters galore. It’s actually way more fun to play in EU MM with a vpn.

That inicial clutch is the dream in cs go, every one of you teamates desperate cause they died and left you on a 1v3 in a crucial round close to the end of the game and you hit the final shot and all that disapears and turn to happiness and excitment as you scream with them. Bro we love cs go

[@Remu-]

Great tips on this video! The positioning on the 1v3 situation on Inferno, filling empty positions and avoiding toxicity were the ones that really stood out. Gotta show this to my friends xD

[@maxdelayer]

Don't comment on videos often, but wow this was superb. A high high bar in quality, with the lessons learned and wisdom within the stories that the games brought out. Instant classic IMO. I really love how that B hold in the opening wasn't just a clip of fragging hard, but explaining *how* you did so, so methodically. Not in a "yes, i did this and then that and i won" but the *why* of every action you took, those tactical decisions that you made from years of experience that are why i love counter strike so much. Taking wider teamwork philosophy and applying that to games is really nice to see, I felt like I got a lot of value out of watching this.

[@OfficialAilius]

You always have such great editing in these videos, thanks for always putting little touches into the video that you don’t necessarily need to do. Things such as the music fading out when you’re flashed, and then fading back in when it wears off. It’s not unnoticed and it’s appreciated immensely

[@DrMario-]

Like the little touch of the music fading out when you get flashed. Glad to see the SoloQ series come back. I'd love to see the progress on de_amigo as well.

[@StormPT]

Can't wait for the next episode, i'll see you guys *next year.*

[@McBubba03]

Been enjoying this on Twitch for the past few months, looking forward to seeing the next episode. Also, loved the Top Gun reference at 7:25.

[@saarthakshandilya4204]

I have really high expectations for this, and I'm pretty sure Mr. WarOwl will deliver.

[@exitpath2]

The return of tutorial videos genuinely would be so great. I feel like some of the older ones are a bit out of date and for someone like me who’s trying to get back into the game after take a few years break up to date tutorials would be nice.

[@sephondranzer]

Houngagne: I am going to start focusing on getting to my peak again and I’m going to put off playing with noobs to optimize my gameplay. WarOwl: Yo Jeff that sounds like a great idea! Let’s do a Road to Faceit lvl 10 collab!! Houngagne: Soo we need to talk…

Aaah I hear the Age of Mythology soundtrack right around 5:24 ... I see you are a true man of culture Mr. Owl

[@adxo]

nice to finally see a series that i know i will still be watching on my deathbed

[@CirqueAlvis]

2:47 - 3:52 Thank you for concisely explaining game sense, because I can't really grasp as to what it is, how to gain it, or how to really understand it. I've been searching on what it actually meant because most guides just seem to throw the sentence "have good game sense" a bunch without caring enough to thoroughly explain what "game sense" is.

[@n1vo]

I think that‘s because people grasp most of it simply by putting up hours. I mean you COULD run around on empty servers, measuring all the timings and taking notes, but eventually you will learn it through thousands of rounds and just develop a feeling for it. Best way is to find some friends who are better and just play with them to learn more and listen to their advice. I think it also helps a lot to switch roles from time to time. Playing lurk gives you a good sense for rotations and timings, playing entry allows you to learn how to take space, awping gives you tools to counter other awpers, supporting teaches you to use utility well and calling just shows you the bigger picture. Playing support or caller in pugs doesn’t really work that well, though.

[@CirqueAlvis]

@@n1vo Yeah, I think I've been playing the wrong gamemode that's why I can't get good game sense xD, I only play Deathmatch and rarely play the actual gamemode which is Pubs or Competitive. I'll encourage some of my friends to play some CS pubs since most of them play casual/ranked Valorant, and one of them is actually good and guides me when to eco or what location/angle to play because most of the time I just go guns-a-blazin'. I'll try out the roles you said, and try to practice all of it. Thank you for the advice!

[@HYPNOS101]

The horrors of SOLOQ! They never leave me.

[@teyposantiener]

I love the SFM bits in the transitions, and it's so goofy that the playermodels and animations are release cs, that and the player positions not lining up 😂

[@unusualkmc]

I literally just reached level 10 soloq a week ago. Took me 1100 matches. My total hours in csgo was around 2300.

[@VanquishR]

Damn, I’ve got the same hours but I shy away from faceit a lot. I’m still stuck around lvl 3 cuz I can’t commit to playing consistently (or well tbh). I’ve got like 100 matches total lol and my elo stays net neutral.

[@BxPanda7]

I literally gave up on that, I'd rather soloq mm because I can't get out of faceit lvl 4 solo even though I top frag pretty much every single game, my teammates are mostly toxic russians who play like gold nova's and can't communicate, the low level faceit elo is more broken and random then US mm rankings.

Hey Brent, how are you doing today?

[@Crzynoob]

[@nnerd]

Might be my favorite video of your so far; I loved the story telling and overall it was informative and fun to watch!

[@ripwallet3318]

I've been watching your vids since middle school and I'm a junior in college now. The references to your old tutorials hit different... I know you're kinda meming on it, but you've seriously contributed a lot. I ended up getting to immortal (at one point even high immo, somehow) in Valorant a year ago, and that all stemmed from your tutorials back in the CS days. I had to move on from gaming a few months ago (even got a Mac for CS, and so now I'm also unable to game lol) because of college, but I will always cherish the fun times!

[@RideAfterMidnight]

Very glad this series is going on. So many people have the idea that WarOwl is only good for MM and doesn't have valid advice for faceit. Keen to keep watching this series!

[@shadowstorm9787]

Literally been sitting on the same advice you gave about teamplay for a few months before this thinking about it, using it, telling others, etc. And wondering why nobody knows about it (in every team game, not just CSGO). Then you posted this. THANK YOU FOR SHOWING ME I AM NOT ALONE IN THIS

[@wouterschuurbiers7167]

Maaaaaan WarOwl your choice of music in your videos is just always insane. I am sure youve put that AOE track in to bring people back to their youths :D

[@4_epvp334]

I started solo queeing Faceit a little over two weeks ago to try and get better at the game, my aim has improved but its such a hard task to do. IF youre going to play faceit i recomend a whole team, or atleast a friend or 2, i dont have any friends who play faceit so im gonna have to keep playing alone, this is gonna be an exciting series

[@roznaczygestosc]

I have a really tough time this week in csgo. I bottom frag every game (despite the fact that I practise my aim 2 hours a day and often utility and retakes as well). SoloQ videos have always helped me in developing good and positive mindset, I hope this video will do the same thing. The problem I'm having is my brain, I just feel that I can't play this game, in the last 5 games I died 10 times while holding a grenade, that hurts + I don't take risks if I don't have utility and since it's soloQ I have basically only flash, flash, smoke and molly, nothing more, because teammates don't want to use them often. Oh, and I remember watching the last game live :D

[@dakkitoto3467]

You need to watch "mfknbruno" on youtube, great videos that will probably help you a ton:D

[@tappajaav]

You might be burnt out and don't even realize it. Sometimes less is more. Try taking a break or at least reducing your aim pracc to say two 15 min sessions a day. Learn few lineups for grenades, that will massively help you and your team. You can entry many sites relatively well with just 1 players' grenades.

[@roznaczygestosc]

@@tappajaav I didnt do what you say, but somehow after 1 week of 2-3 hour practice I started playing the best cs I've ever played and Im close to ranking up to lvl 5 faceit and supreme :D But if it wasnt a case I would have done a break.
