The Mysterious ABC Game - Understanding Your True Skill in CS

[@TheMinivester]

From a sport psychologist perspective it's very accurate. The key to a high performance over time is acceptance but it requires a first step - registration. An athlete who learned to accept but not "registration" is prone to get the full potential out of the acceptance because he/she has not learned to registrer the emotion or thought that the situation produced. Here we need to take a step back and start to investigate the inner feelings and though-processes. In the start it can quite frustrating because the human nature is getting more and more numb to our inner feelings so it can take quite a long time in the start. Here is mindfulness a very great tool for reaching the inner surface of our self. Once we finally feel the emotion, thoughts etc. that the situation produced we can finally start to accept it. At often times the situation is external-produced and we have zero control over the situation. That's good because its way easier to accept and refocus on our game. If the feelings is caused by our own behaviour we should start analyzing our behavioral pattern and making decision that will reinforce another behaviour which is more beneficial. 1) Registrer 2) Accept 3) Refocus

STYKO: “You must stay focus on learning the correction of your weaknesses until it is trained enough to the level of unconcious competence." Thank you so much Styko, nothing but mad respect bro lml

Spot on :)

[@MrHetappi]

Crazy good content. I've heard about this concept before but you took it a step further by explaining HOW to make use of it.

[@STYKO]

Thanks, appreciate it! ^^

[@Fryslanpr0]

I watch a lot videos from (former) special forces dudes, they talk a lot about fundamentals. Basically saying "go back to your baseline and get your reps in". It made sense to me to focus on fundamentals, but now I understand how it also helps to improve things that are not part of the fundamentals, since you get more 'wiggle room' once your fundamentals are solid/more solid. I dont remember exactly where I found it, but this always helps me get in the right mindset to improve: At the highest level, your individual and team performance - your movements and actions - need to be polished, precise and specific. Your performance individually and as a team - needs to be repeatable, with the team’s performance at the forefront of your mind. When asking yourself if your performance is up the standard, can you perform in all conditions? If the answer is no, go back to baseline and get your reps in. Your ego isn’t in question, your ability to see your weakness is in question. The team deserves your best, work on the areas you need help with and don’t be afraid to slow down and ask for help. Be a pro, your team deserves it.

Great analogy, you can email me those videos, I am interested now :D (email in description)

love the video and hope to see u competing soon

[@griffenbrd]

great video. Its interesting how this constant work on self improvement neatly ties in with the perfectionism video lol

[@STYKO]

It does! 😅

[@BCMagooo]

Hey Styko love your content ♥ You say to work on your weaknesses but recently I've been working on my weaknesses which I think is mostly I play too aggressively and with less utility than I should, however whenever I try to throw more utility it seems like I play worse than when I hold w and pop flash. It feels like I just get worse and worse, should I just give up on trying to throw full utility sets in pugs? I've also been practicing more than ever, playing every day since the CS2 announcement but my aim feels worse than ever. Is this just a slump while my body/brain tries to condense all this new information to the subconscious level or should I try a new aim routine or take a break?

[@jon-noj]

Great video! Keep owning

[@STYKO]

Thanks, will do!

[@pvp4fun208]

If I want to improve should I be playing with a subconscious mind or a conscious mind were I'm actively thinking and asking myself questions before making decisions?

[@STYKO]

You will never play your best game if you have to consciously think about what you have to do. But in CSGO its insanely hard to play that way because no round is the same. Best case scenario is that you feel in the zone and you make decisions based on intuition and that leaves your brain to focus on your aim and shooting.

[@pvp4fun208]

@@STYKO so you would recommend to think consciously about what to do before the round starts and then just play with my subconscious mind and learn from the mistakes I make?

[@IKKAIWINS]

​@@pvp4fun208 Yeah, creating a plan beforehand will create a loose guideline to try and work towards during the round. It'll obv not work all the time but it helps in guiding your actions which often helps with the flow of the round from your perspective. Like early round CT aggression requires a little bit of a plan, during execution you don't wanna be thinking but just executing. As you progress from that aggression (alive ofcourse) you will have to naturally slot back into midround awareness - looking for the gaps that mightve been exposed in the meanwhile which will require a bit more of an active lookout. Doing everything based on intuition the entire time is very difficult unless you're at peak performance and even then. Think the above is an example of having a strong "B" game and something you will want to develop by understanding where you can put yourself during your rounds. DON'T autopilot, that isn't the same as intuitive play.

What I took from this video is that we are all inchworms

[@olaeadeus1996]

Biggest doubt in the cs movement is when you do a rush and you have to stop the caracter ? who do you do?

[@indigo5577]

if you're rushing with just A and D you can counterstrafe but if you're holding W, like in a chokepoint like B apps Mirage or B banana on Inferno, you can crouch and instantly be accurate All of this is assuming you have a rifle since with an SMG, you're still fully accurate

[@user-sp2yu9zt6h]

For some strange reason when I dont play on my account that has a bunch of high tier skins and instead opt in for my alt account with stock weapons I play alot better. Both accounts are very similar ranks

[@yume8666]

You probably put less pressure on yourself when playing on your alt account
