30 minutes of wilbur, my whole morning is shot... I have to take off work to analyze this vs my demos and figure out why i haven't been recruited into liquid to replace Cadian yet.

Lol

😂😂

[@Bobthebuilder2235]

hahahahahahah this is fucking hilarious

[@redactedredacted1726]

Same 😂

[@tykers.]

"Where are you on the map" with you bouncing around the screen was awesome lol. Thanks for another banger, Wilson.

[@WilsonCS2]

Thanks Tykers:)

[@aviansays]

22:15 Guys, peeker’s advantage in the practical sense is like playing defense in sports. You have to react to the offensive player’s moves which is always harder than being the one making the move. In CS, your reaction time will almost always be slower than someone making a move beyond lag or latency or anything else. Well said, Wilson 👏

[@elfyrulais]

proactive vs reactive!

[@mrwalter1049]

That did not feel like 32mins. Shit's great! Info is good, and the jokes are funny 👍

[@WilsonCS2]

Thank you Walter:)

[@Tonyrona]

Bro your cat knows better positioning than half the 20k premiere players I see :)

[@LEBIGMAKKEE]

hahahahahahhahahahah

[@DelfinoSSBM]

Subtitles you make for the videos are underrated. Love them!

[@WilsonCS2]

I’m glad they’re helpful:)!

[@fedes.8896]

Me too❤

[@m1st87]

Wilson, you are the hero we needed but don't deserve. This is hands down the best CS guide i've seen since I started playing CS back in 2015. And boy have I watched a lot of guides... These are very important concepts that I will definitely be incorporating into my games. After practicing a ton of mechanics (spraying, movement, crosshair placement, etc.) I realized that my next challenge was positioning. I found myself poorly positioned a lot more times than I should have. But I was focusing on having more cover, being less out in the open, and working as a team, but the whole 'numbers' theory was something I just didn't think about, and it's golden. Thank you and please keep these coming!

[@WilsonCS2]

I'm so happy to hear that man, thank you the very kind comment:)

[@aviansays]

Best vid you’ve made so far, dude. Should be a requirement to watch this before pugging. Thumbs up 👍💜

[@WilsonCS2]

Thanks avian, that means a lot brother

[@Unlogikmann]

This is worth sooo much money and you just do it for free. Thank you Wilson. I have improved soo much after this video. I literally played 2 games after this video and applied when to peek and choosing the right position after showing. Also the understanding when to fight for space is really helpful. I feel like i have finally understood what to do in most situation where i was completly lost before. I absolutly stomped my last two games cause of this. Cant say more than Thank you for providing this awesome content while keeping your clear and fun way of describing stuff.

[@WilsonCS2]

That is awesome to hear!! Thank you man:)

[@blixh3ad]

Although you've said playing the game improves you more than watching videos, this kind of stuff helps me look out for the things that I need to once I get in game. This is gonna be huge for my improvements as a strategical player.

[@WilsonCS2]

Glad to hear it:)

[@TegredyFarms]

S tier TLDR guide for essentially everything you need to know about positioning and mindset.🔥 W vid brother appreciate all the hard work that went into this!

[@itGurt]

Finally got my sub with this one. Your content is great man, clear and concise. Keep em coming, my perpetual silver ass needs it!

[@WilsonCS2]

Let’s go! Thank you man:)

[@Meknassih]

This is insane value for a free video on the Internet, thanks !

[@hexdex3544]

Your mindset is incredible, bro. Keep on goin'!

[@produktiivi5972]

Cmon Wilson! Just yesterday i was furiously searching how to improve My positioning in cs2 and you seem to never dissapoint! Just hit 13k premier For The first time.Thank you. Greetings from finland!

[@WilsonCS2]

Let’s go!!:) hello back to Finland ;)

[@w.m.433]

Thank you, super helpful video. Especially the rotation part clicked for me

[@WilsonCS2]

Winnie!! Thank you so much for the dono brother. I’m glad it was helpful:)

Great video, glad to see you tackled this topic

[@WilsonCS2]

Thank you jamerz:)

[@southfb]

I love your thumbnails Wil, they are pretty funny 😂

[@julianwuerzler]

Thanks for that one Wilson, please keep up the work, we really appreciate it

[@WilsonCS2]

No problem:)

[@adrians3372]

Very cool video! What would definitely be really cool for a lot of people and what I personally would find pretty nice, is if you let Pienix do a demo analysis of you. That would be super exciting, definitely for you too.

[@WilsonCS2]

Thank you! I actually had Cojomo review one of my demos on stream. You can find it in the live tab on my channel. Making a video out of a review would also be super cool

[@adrians3372]

@@WilsonCS2 I will watch it. Yeah that would be cool. And i wanna see it from Pienix too. Maybe you order one^^ And we cann see it. Keep up the good work.

[@noc2697]

About the "Only rotate when you see the bomb" is a advice for anchors, not rotators even though there are some situations that would be wise to "over rotate" :D

[@ky4encetv463]

im returning to cs and learned a bunch of smokes yesterday, and watching this today also added some things to think about.

[@WilsonCS2]

Awesome!:)

[@shalebrown1616]

This is your best guide imo, really well done clear presentation and thorough explaining nice job

[@WilsonCS2]

Thank you man:)

[@The_Albino_Dino]

Last time I was this fast to a Wilson video it was cs go

[@kennaee]

Great video! I am sure it will help many who are figuring the game out.

[@WilsonCS2]

Thanks dawg!

[@g2avityhitz]

this shit is so good - even the things i already know are presented so well it's a wonderful viewing experience.

[@WilsonCS2]

Glad to hear it, thank you:)

[@biblesilvercorner]

great one!!!

[@snipingfox2784]

Would you ever consider making map specific videos? Like the main maps with common smokes and callouts or whatever basic info on the map is. I just started cs2 after not playing csgo for over 2 years and even then all I did was community servers so I don’t know much anymore. Anyways thanks for all the great videos!

[@samster978]

Thanks for timestamps

[@kubo888]

Great video man. Now i need every random i will meet in premier to see this.

[@gustavkollingnystrm2002]

i need this thank you

[@FifineTed]

Micro positioning could really help players that don't possess great aim and to win duels. Macro postioning is more about reading the game.(From a 3000hour guy with bad aims)

[@kirans1626]

another banger, wilson!

[@WilsonCS2]

I appreciate that brother!:)

[@twin_fantasy]

I wish I could beam this info into my friend's brains. Love your stuff Wilson!!!

Hi. what kind of program/site/application do you use to do this? like 11:26

What to do when i have like 10-15 games as solo/duo, but i get every time 1afk or leaver and 1 like bronze players, its like 3v5 every game.... (11k-14k elo games). Do i need change any settings for normal players? :) :) secret option in menu to play with normal team ?

[@iiMaGinENation]

Bro, post a video!! Lmao, I just got back into cs2 because of your videos but I'm out of content just sitting here checking every day to see if you posted something

[@dpinsy]

You have a criminally low subscriber count. Great vid👍🏽

[@WilsonCS2]

Thanks brother:)

[@amusetech]

This video, for a low ELO player, is such a tremendous value! S1mple can go and be sad with his "training" program.

[@ste4lthcs]

First buddy boyos!!! And finally time to improve my weakest point, positioning has been the reason I die too many times, Wilson the mind reader!!!

You are QUICK stealth!!!

Wilson with that mental hospital escapee amnesia drip 🗿

[@maxzett]

Are u playing 16:10? I'm thinking about going back to 16:10 but with a 3 monitor setup using those "non native" resolutions is just so damn ugly to use. Stuff shifts like crazy and it just feels weird.

[@WilsonCS2]

I use 4:3! But yeah, it can cause a lot of weirdness when alt tabbing and launching

Don't you dare say the CEO stinks, he pays your salary Wilburman

Valve should upgrade the map grease pencil to be viewed by everyone in the team instead of just you. I swear, matches would be of higher quality with this feature.

Faceit helps avoid those pesky hackers but ya they are an annoying part of the game
