To be fair. It sounds like the guy was playing around 3+ hours/day (1000 bots = ~30min, 1 hr DM, 1 hrs matches, 30 min demos, then some additional amount of time on utility/movement/etc) That's quite a commitment.

I was fully hooked and deeply interested in what you had to say and I've never felt more motivated to actually take the steps like demo reviews etc to improve. I also work a full time job and you made me realize that being good at cs at the same time is possible :D Thank you so much for making this, seriously

Thanks for the love bro! All I wanted to do was share my story and inspire others to work towards their goal. Hopefully with this video and the ones to come you can get to your goal faster than I did.

I appreciate the mental health segment for those who needed it I learned that lesson the hard way, and keeping that balance is very crucial. Stepping away, even for a weekend or something at least, will be much better for your future self.

This is exactly the video I needed, I watched so many „how to get better videos“ and yours really brought my motivation up, as well as it highlighted the things I haven’t done yet. Like reviewing my faceit demos, putting dm into my daily routine, and make sure I manage my time better for that consistent 1h, even if I don’t have much time. Thanks for the vid and keep it up

Amazing video!

Great video, while I am only average at the game it's interesting to see how such little things can lead to improvement. I started around 2014 maybe 2013 gaining 1.5k hours on a macbook air. At that time I was pretty conpetitive and often played long into the nights gaining level 5 on faceit. But because I neglected a lot of things I took a step back for several years. Around 2021 is when I decided to return and by 2023 I noticed a sizeable improvement. While I dont play Faceit or matchmaking that much anymore, how I play and my general performance in the game has improved. Right now im still getting my life settled so I am still trying to return to a competitve level.

Very well put together video. Getting back into CS since quitting when CS Source dropped. Helpful to be aware of your different points. Appreciate the lack of gambling sponsorship as well.

I agree and think it has a very large impact on us as players, this is something I’m focusing on the most right now.

Prefiring and crosshair placement are one of the most important aspects of aiming in my opinion, raw aim and spray control are super important but they aren’t going to get you instant frags that can turn the 5v5 into a 5v4 and swing the round heavily in your favour at the start

@Ryderdie1

Ай бұрын

You’re absolutely right about that and I honestly share the same opinion. Perhaps I should have emphasized that more during the video. Either way, thank you for the feedback!

Good job

For gamesense ur own demos are great, but also what helped me a lot was watching youtube vids, demo reviews, mahone_cs type of channels, watching pro games and not just watching the kills but the minimap and see how and when they rotate and that kind of stuff. Ask yourself why and so on.. other than that u just have to play the game a lot and experience it for urself, but always ask urself why or what did i do wrong:)

Nice guide. I'm stuck between ~5-8k and very inconsistent, I could top frag one game but then have only 5 kills the next. I need to watch my demo's and adjust the radar as I didn't know you could see the entire map!

As someone who knew all of these steps but I just can't be bothered to do them and I accept being lower skilled, I think the most important part of this video is that these tips can apply to any skill. Just be consistent by doing something, even a bit, every day. Always focus the most on the very basics. Try to analyze your fails. And most importantly, the #1 thing, have fun. If you're patient, you will get better. If you won't be #1, then at least you had fun.
