I used to wrist aim but once I switched to arm aiming I realized that it’s how you’re supposed to do it. 2000 hours in counter strike and pretty much instantly I doubled my skill. Watch some videos on it it’s truly amazing
u should just hold ur mouse as comfy as you feel... this types of videos makes ppl hold their mouses in a way that some ppl find awkward, Its really stupid try to copy some pro's grip.
i use high sens in windows like 1200-2000 so my hand can rest while I'm not playing. Sensitivity is important, but you should also consider your hand health, many pro players need wrist and shoulder surgery because they don't really think and just want results, very low sens can provide better control but can be bad for you long term, I mean if your goal is to be one the best you need to be able to play without pain. For all these reasons I always gravitated towards higher sensitivity. It's not really a thing you notice when you're 16, but when you are 25 you start to notice the strain low sens can cause over time. Some exercises and generally not playing for 5-8 hours straight can prevent that completely though.
What if what you want acknowledgement from the playerbase that you are a "good player" who is passionate? What if the game may be your only source of validation and to lose the game is to lose the respect of not just your friends, but your worth, your credibility and the respect earned? I am sorry if I sound like I am overthinking but what if losing could have a lot of implications?
Can you make a video about donk cs grip it seems very unique and from the picture itself its hard to recreate. I think alot of people would like such video. Thanks anyway for your great content!
Hey I'm not too much of an FPS gamer and I don't know if you read comments but I'd love for you to dive into broader aspects of competitive gaming I really enjoyed your previous video on toxic gamers & flow state. I myself am a higher ranking League of Legends player and I find your videos very insightful/useful. Thanks!
Great interview! Echoing the comments for including chapters where possible. Makes it at lot easier to consume, especially when going back to relisten to certain answers
i was close to buying an artisan after my zowie gsr became pretty slow, but 100€+ for a mousepad is just straight up ridicoulus. tried the ice thing from glorious which developed slow spots real quick. then just said "f it" and checked what donk, niko and co are using and most use steelseries qck? the large version was only 16eu or so, so i gave it a try and its just straight up awesome. no need for a 120€ mousepad when the 16€ one does an amazing job.
@@iCantEditBro first of all, do not come with 31cm mousepads plz, since its for high sens/ small desk players only. the cheapest XL hyate otsu currently in germany is 98€ (according to price comparison sites), while im not even sure if hyate otsu is the pad i wanted or another artisan. so even if i would go with the cheapest hyate otsu here in germany, 54€ for a small pad is still ridicoulus af. you can grab a used logitech g pro x superlight and new switches (ttc gold 80M) + tiger ice v2 dot skates for less money, given you have a soldering iron and the necessary skill. you could even throw an encoder (ttc silver) and still be cheaper. also, there are reasons that pros, who can afford like every pc shit and need to optimise their stuff to win even more money, go with steelseries qck. its not just replaceability, since those guys who earn 20k/month alone can buy 2-3 at once easily.
@@iCantEditBro will make the answer shorter this time. the cheapest hayate otsu costs 53€ here in germany, for a 31cm pad, which is obv too small. the cheapes hayate otsu XL here is around 98€. in both cases its still ridicoulus af, if the like one of the best pads just costs 16€.... plz dont delete again, ron... be fair
Everything in this video echos what I learned/did at physical therapy after overworking and damaging my wrists/forearm tendons from training/playing too much. I have to use these exercises daily now because the injury is permanent (I don't have hope that it's reversible). So definitely get in the habit of doing the exercises and stretches if you're going to pursue competitive FPS. Thanks so much for posting this video.
glad pros have put an input on it because despite at all you need good sportsmanship, and since pros are seen and watched by millions of people when they're competing. they have to professional or at least have composure. no one likes negative energy, obviously.
Really amazing video! I myself got tenosynovitis in my right wrist a few months back from gaming too intensively, and I still have it, so this video is incredibly helpful for me
My hand does extended back like flank very limited extension and my thumb is very looser lees mobility hard to grip thumb sticks or mouse w i play claw to
For me, after taking a long break from gaming then getting back into it I've noticed pain in my hand, but on my keyboard hand. The balls of my hand, pad of my thumb and in between the finger joints felt like they were on fire and theyre still pretty tender to the touch even after taking a break for weeks. But I never had any problems with my mouse hand besides pain from death gripping to the point it melts the sides of the mouse lol
