[@AttacMage]

[@Fyr35555]

With the yprac maps personally once I get the hang of all the common angles I change the settings to 100hp (for me) and 20% of enemy spawns with enemies using awp. That way two things happen: 1.) I get punished for bad peeks so I know which ones I am not as consistent at like peeking jungle from palace. 2.) With 20% of spawns it gets you used to implementing the mechanics at a greater speed (in reality there won't be a guy in every spot, so by having only 20% of spawns I can practice trying to clear everything out as fast as possible and only having to periodically stop at certain spots when an enemy spawns there.)

[@WilsonCS2]

Dude thats a great practice method, I'm gonna use that!

[@sm0akable]

Really smart way of doing it

[@zbastian]

Tried this (with prefire mode) and it just doesn't work for me. Fast/wide peeks simply don't work against bots with 100% accuracy, 0ms reaction time which also shoot you on the first pixel. No real person would shoot the first pixel of your elbow just to give away their position, and possibly even wiff. Maybe I'm using it wrong, or it's not for me, or I have the wrong mentality about it. But never have I left a practice map so insecure about my plays. Felt like an unfair match against giga smurfs.

[@zedolok4508]

i gonna do that, tks for sharing

[@poamsdiansoid7403]

@@zbastian That sounds like you need to practice. Keep going!

[@VukanLFC]

Something I've heard many times from great players is "Peek every angle as if you know they are there". This is mostly in regards of clearing angles. Still after thousands of hours of different CS versions I find myself clearing angles on autopilot just expecting nobody to be there...

[@WilsonCS2]

So true and such good advice. Autopilot mode has gotten me killed so many times

[@onetapandy]

Never thought about giving yourself space for maximum velocity on a wide peek, great tips!

[@WilsonCS2]

Thank you brother:)

[@valle3581]

With the Xantares peek its also important to gwt close to the corner, the closer the faster it looks from the enemys perspective

[@WilsonCS2]

Great point!! Ultimate speed

[@geniuz4093]

if the opponent is far away it wont matter and will just make you easier to kill. if youre both close to an angle yes you should get close to wall. the closer both of you are the more effective

[@valle3581]

@@geniuz4093 not really, for example when peeking long on dust with the xantarespeek when someone is holding from ct the entire Point of this Type of peek is too be close to the corner to wide peek and throw off his crosshair placement. Being out in the open is the tradeoff for that ...

[@Hasaki_YT]

Incredibly helpful video, thank you for uploading this. It hadn't even occurred to me that player movement speed could be used in a way to kill rather than purely to run.

[@WilsonCS2]

Thank you man!! :) It’s crazy that it’s not talked about much.

[@megablademe4930]

Peeker’s Advantage also comes from the fact that you expect where the opponent is and you anticipate the exact moment you are going to peek, where as getting peeket you don’t know the exact time so your reflexes aren’t going to be at 100%.

[@WilsonCS2]

HUGE aspect to it that I wish I vocalized in the vid. Great point!!!

[@valentinavazquez7724]

watching this a year later and I just wanna say thank you Wilson! Your videos are a huge help! :)

[@omarramirez8717]

Just want to add please don’t re-peek an angle after you whiffed an enemy, even if it’s in the open, ask for a flash or just stay covered, enemy has the upper hand when they know exactly where you are and they’re just going to wait for that re-peek and one tap you, re-peeking is an issue

[@XX-pq6cu]

2:12 this is also very powerful because at high ranks everyone is aiming at your head so you don't want to let them shoot it for free jiggling too far out

[@XenoghostTV]

Funny and entertaining, yet very precise explanation. Thank you for the precious knowledge, I'll definitely implement it in my CS style!

[@WilsonCS2]

[@zachanderson9279]

Honestly bro thank you for clarifying that ping plays into advantage. I play on 150+ because it’s the only option for wifi where I live… makes a lot of sense why my skill has stalled out so bad.

[@WilsonCS2]

Make sure you watch the pinned comment!! I wasn’t 100% correct in the video:)

[@philipshaffett2319]

I've never given a thumbs up faster than hearing "hot stinky dumpy wumpy" in the opening statement.

[@WilsonCS2]

😂😂 thank you brother

[@hoangduc643]

I'd say crouch peeking exposing your left has it's use in 1v1 other riflers at higher ranks as your head can be hidden behind a concealment making them harder to hit it. Of course you need to practice pre aiming so that you can run + crouch peek immediately into the desired angle without exposing your head, not that you can do it all the time but I always keep that little piece of knowledge behing my head.

[@WilsonCS2]

Good point !!

[@user-ri1bj8vu5j]

I've learned so much from your videos man thank you!

[@WilsonCS2]

[@diegodiaz__]

Another thing worth mentioning is that depending on the situation is better to wide swing an awper holding an angle than jiggle peeking

Definitely !!!

[@8ixrblx130]

The defender and attacker are actually almost, if not, on par. Situations where peekers advantage exist: - If the peeker prefires - it elimates pretty much all reaction time. - If the defender has a significant high ping and interpolation. 70ms +. - This will affect your view on the peekers deceleration. - If the peeker has a wider angle. [Geometry] - If the peeker has packet loss. If you all have less than roughly 50MS in ping, the defender will almost always have the advtange, providing they're sitting in an advantageous spot, forcing the peeker to take a bad peek.

[@alexkfridges]

High ping = more peeker advantage is a myth. Only defenders ping matters. If you have 1ms as a defender it doesn't matter if you get peeked by 200ms or 1ms, thw attackers ping is added to both players time-to-server. The defender has both their own ping plus attackers ping.

[@WilsonCS2]

Didn’t know this!!! Thanks for telling me

[@monty3854]

One of the biggest reasons for peekers advantage is timing. The peekers knows when they're going to peek and should be expecting to see the enemy. The defender holding the angle has no idea of or when someone will peek.

3:55 isnt necessarily true, its easier to hold 1 movement key at once but you dont have "less control" when youre holding down 2 at once, its just more difficult to switch 2 keys rather than 1 for a counter strafe
