Flicking makes you BAD at aiming - do THIS instead 

Yupp

He focuses more on his own CS and coaching others in CS than he does marketing. He's really only popular among people who seek out CS improvement/coaching though because of how good he is at it. marketing isn't easy lol tell your friends

@@dustinp26 I guess its not only because of lack of marketing, but also that the majority of players are casuals that cant be bothered to watch an educational 30 min video. The target audience here are people that are interested in high level CS.

@@mastadodo Yeah, it's a combination of the two. I think his view count is low compared to how good his teaching/coaching content is, just based on my history browsing around content. It's definitely a niche category though, you're right. There are probably even faceit 10s that aren't interested in this kind of content.

​@@mastadodothis is low level cs. You probably will never get into high level cs. Just saying

What do you mean I don't do marketing xd? RU-vid posting is literally it

Idk what this meme means but I hope it's positive 😅

@@pienixcs always man🫶

Glad I could help!

It's still fine now

🥂

Exactly

@@pienixcs I think your mentality is the main thing for people to learn, about not expecting magic from teammates, getting your own info not relying on others, committing to a fight when you have a good timing or angle... It's easy to see why you got so good at the game.

Harder and only efficient in certain scenarios, most of the time adjustment is better

@@pienixcs i'll be honest i completely disagree with this statement i've played most of the fps games i get into on an extremely high lvl i played in a pro PC COD team before going into csgo and got into a semi pro cs team back in 2017 before i quit the game, i also managed to solo Masters in Apex this season with only 140 hours which is a track focused game, COD is a switch heavy game with some combination of little tracks from time to time but csgo is by far a flick heavy game, people who are good at flicking will dominate other players in most 1v1 fights even if they are taken by suprise i don't really do any tracking in csgo especially with awp since i used to never miss my flicks at all and if i missed it's an easy quick fix which would waste the same amount of time as doing the micro track to begin with. anyone who has mastered flicking should be able to flick to any location on screen within less then 100ms i personaly could do this within 60ms in my prime before my wrist injury but even after the injury i'm stil extremely consistnet at flicking but i do have every single aiming skill within the top 1% in aim trainers currently which might also count for something in relation to my flick consistency now, i have no idea how good my overall aiming was back in the day since i didn't use anything like aimlab or kovaks to track it but i was most definitely far better at csgo in every way my highest solo elo being 3.2k in 2017 and my current primer being 24k but it's only been 4 days since i started playing csgo again so i wouldn't really use my primer elo as a reference. but either way i strongly disagree with you on this.

@@pienixcs if you hit your all flicks it works all the time just get better at flicking its faster than tracking

@@n1seN there is 0 humans on entire planet that can do it

​@@n1seN Please, just go watch TenZ from Valorant vs the Bot-challenge in the training room. (On hard mode) You can exactly see, what he means, when you watch it in slowmotion. He flicks his arm on the bot, and tracks with his wrist to the head. So he kinda uses the time of the arm flick, to process where the head precisely is with his wrist. Pro's just get so good at it, that you dont realize it. Thats all he was trying to say.

Sometimes I don't remember it or the lvl changed

good point, also this person was lvl 3 and match had lvl 1-6 players

Got them now, thanks these are older recordings

Glad it was helpful!

Exactly!

Appreciate it Will!

Appreciate it!

It's not prefire it's preaim then very quick adjustment/flick

@@pienixcs Yeah, exactly! But I still don't understand how he does it so fast, even if he's scoped. You see so many AWPers holding an angle in a pro match, and he easily pre-aims them and gets the kill. Generally, peeking an AWPer like that is suicide, but he makes it work. Maybe he does it when he's on the right side of the angle, so he sees the opponent's arm before they see him

@@karim47161 He's just quick thats it

@@karim47161 Good visualization combined with top mechanics

Exactly, that's what matters!

Yes it is

Pienixcs loves smurfy🥂

True

Thanks!

Exactly, what you called microflick i called microtracking - coz its kinda tracking since you microflick moving target

you make a good point. tracking, single-flicking and double-flicking (flick+adjustment) are all different techniques. which one you should apply depends on a few factors like distance, how good is the initial crosshair placement, whether the enemy would expect you to awp there and whether you expected the enemy or not. single-flicking is a necessity when you are desperate (e.g poor initial guess, caught off-guard, enemy too close or peeked you wide) and need to be very very quick. tracking is ideal for getting a kill when you have both good initial contact and have some time to guarantee the kill. double flicking is good if you werent initially fast or precise with aiming but have some time to adjust to secure a kill (e.g long distance). double flicking is basically tracking with poor start (not always your fault, e.g unexpected wide peek). any one of these can apply even in the same spot (e.g mirage window) depending on the circumstance you find yourself in.

@@svenjaaunes2507 In the case here, where the student is missing all of his flicks due to a lack of microadjustment, he's obviously right. Like, we can argue all day about the fundamentals of the game and peeking and flicking, but the dude is missing. He needs to adjust his movement after the flick. Additionally, overrelying on flicks, especially bad flicks like these, is a limiting factor on your playing. Eventually you'll reach players who's movement is good enough that you'll miss and they'll punish you. That's the point where having those fundamentals, and the "double flick" will get you over the line. Plus, they are transferable skills to other weapons.

@@kalreynolds5829 i agree thst flicking is a technique for desperate situations and shouldnt be utilized all the time like this student does. thats his error

@@pienixcs Thats true but still: In the intro sequence he only had to do one micro flick (his target is very close to his crosshair already), but you tell him to do flick and then another micro flick to confirm hes on target. But on those very small flicks it's counterproductive to add another target confirmation (~+200ms). You just do micro flick and you click during that small flick (just pure click timing - and it should be easy, because very small distance) What im saying is, this is not a technique error in my opinion. This is just one instance of simply (micro) aim being bad in the vod. If I watch Zywoo hold an angle with a deagle and the enemy wide swings him (past Zywoo's crosshair), Zywoo will just do one small flick to the head with no further adjustments needed. 'Beginner' myself here so just sharing *my* understanding. Please correct me if im wrong.

What?

Best viewer on god😜

He does need it for other stuff but the short jump I do 9/10 times at worst with space bar, in my mind its harder with scroll?

@@potowogreedo The short jump is somewhat forgiving indeed and is quite possible with space but to eliminate that timing factor where you could press space a little too early and your character doesn’t 2nd jump it’s always better to use scroll for such jumps. Either way, he definitely needs it if he want to get more into movement.

​@@potowogreedo space crouch mwheel jump

Yea scrolljump is a must

I don't really see Niko flicking too much tbh

@@pienixcs ok let's say former best, which was s1mple, known for his signature fast flicks. current best is m0nesy

@@ShakeITyEA it's just a bait you didn't prolly watch the vid broski

and you are one of the best players in the world?

@@ShakeITyEA so u comparing awper that needs to hit body with scope to rifler that need to hit hipfire hs? Bro play the game

😂😂😂

I mean flicks with awp are useful so go practice them

You're doing something wrong

Already gotcha in the next vid

Both good, if you're good at prefire just focus on x

1.8 400

I think you didnt get the video my man, or didnt watch it

Yea

About what bro?

Trueee

Yea pretty much its just wording

No, its an old sesh i believe hes not playing cs anymore

@@pienixcs that's sad , anyways keep up the good coaching

🤡

😆

Draken

Noo

Thanks for the tip

What do you mean?

Don’t be a jerk

@@pienixcs these players aren't flicking. their neurons are firing. i get what you mean but if you're comprehension of the game isn't there, you don't see the minor movements is all

I see ur point, most players aren’t playing mindful regarding the details of small decisions and movements, especially regarding aim, if you are a bad aimer you have to focus on small movements in the moment and really really focus on small things like microadjustments or microflicks in order to improve, if you just play in auto pilot and don’t focus on every single thing you just won’t improve

@@nathankohonen2924 I'm either misunderstanding you or you're using these words wrong. The player in the clip is definitely flicking..?

Yes and no

There is no such thing as "muscle memory"
