The Most Difficult Challenge in Solo Queue CSGO

[@enzotansingco2199]

7:53 "Thanks for teaching me the game 8 years ago" I hope you realize how many people you helped and inspired over the years You inspired me on the "soloq to X" grind mentality. All of my current ranks across CSGO, PUBG, Valorant, Apex Legends, etc were done soloq. Congrats on getting the soloq to level 10!

"It's not the accomplishment that's fulfilling, it's the pursuit." As someone who just recently finished a book I've been writing for the past 3 years, I can confirm that truer words have never been spoken. The book may be mediocre by most standards and will never get published, but I learned so much throughout writing it. And immediately started writing another one.

[@anthonycmiller]

WarOwl’s ability to tell a story through a 10 minute video of him playing games is absolutely incredible. It’s like reading a book where you forget you’re reading and you’re just living it, that’s exactly what warowl does best with his videos.

"hey warowl thanks for teaching me the game like 8 years ago" was so wholesome or he was saying that you're old idk

[@gamingmarcus]

What a great accomplishment after all these years. I don't normally write long comments but here it goes. I've started playing CSGO just before finishing school. I had put serious hours into several games before that (including CoD) and I always felt that tickle, the desire to compete. I didn't know anything about cs going into this but I knew that the counterstrike franchise had been at the top for literal decades, and I wanted to start it off right. So I learned about the game, watched all your videos and tutorials. And they helped me massively in many aspects of life. Having a good mindset is not just important for playing good Counterstrike. Embracing challenges even if they seem impossible. Keeping your eyes on the goal, even if the grind gets hard. And even if you fail, focus on what you've learned in the process. When times got tough in university these virtues helped me keep it together. I even ended up learning Japanese and living there for a year. Just because I wanted to prove myself that I can. And it is exactly as you say. It's not the accomplishment that's fulfilling, it's the pursuit. Having a big goal to push towards can unlock a previously unfathomable potential within you. And now, going into my PhD the goal is bigger than ever. To expand the boundaries of human knowledge. And every day feels exactly right. It won't be easy but I know I'm ready. Thank you for all the years of entertainment and life lessons Mr. "Stop, Scope, Flick, Fire" (yeah I saw that comment 😀) I think it's time to restart my own grind to lvl 10.

[@KEROVSKI_]

Dear WarOwl, you probably have good teammates cause they respect you for your work. But when 75% of those same guys queue solo and meet some random guy like me, they do not act like this, they do not listen, they are toxic, doing what ever they want, playing for K/D, etc. I reached Global and 2500 elo solo q, and you need nerves of steel. I don't have nerves of steel so it was HELL for me. Glad that you took that level 10 btw. Keep grinding. My rules to get high elo solo q: 1. Everything is on you. 2. Stop blaming everyone else except yourself. You are the problem. 3. You can't be toxic. 4. Don't try to teach anyone how to play. 5. Cheaters don't exist. 6. Smurfs are good thing so you can see how bad you are (at the moment). 7. Improve, train, learn. 8. If they don't play as a team, be the best teammate. 9. Play tournaments on challenger mode (you will meet 4k+ elo players often) and you will feel how good players can be. 10. FPS games are pay to win so you need to invest in decent gaming setup. Minimum: (144hz monitor, mouse with good sensor, stable 160 fps or more) 11. If a teammate won't stop being toxic, just mute them. Save your energy.
