you should link a google doc for the full nerd doc/templates, i’m someone who was once lvl 10 2500 elo but quit the game after some events in life, now i’m getting back into it, and i care a lot about all the niches such as utility, strat, and mechanics
Here is a copy for you guys. It has a decent amount of nade line ups. You can copy it and edit it for whatever things you want to work on. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nNUEF7E__xGHUxSVQyUobW8Kv2qT-XwxW38My238pmY/copy?usp=sharing
TBH the process of making the doc is what makes it stick more, try making your own doc, it'll contain the stuff you care most about, not someone else's priorities
@@populus117 True. For me, I needed to learn the nade lineups, but other people might have different skills they want to work on. The important part is working on only a few things at a time before moving on. And picking something you'll enjoy studying and implementing.
Yes! The thing most people do not realize is that a lot of toxic players project their feelings to others. Keep spreading love and respect, also to toxic players.
Being positive and keeping the positivity up is so, so huge. Even if you're losing. Nobody gets better from flaming or negativity, but a little morale boost can go a long way and who knows? It might turn the game around even. It's a great feeling.
I've solo queued to 20k+ on premier and ~8 on faceit with a 60% win rate and 1.4 kdr. at the end of the day (as much as people hate to hear it) if you can entry frag consistently, not only are you giving your team the man advantage but you're also indirectly showing them to play more confidently. practicing prefire angles and setting yourself up with mollies/smokes/flashes is key
I almost always play with a 5stack, but when games start going south for us we usually just say "we'll call it a practice round. Let's fuck around with it and try some new strats" And because our mentality changed from trying to win to experimenting and seeing what works, 1, the loss doesn't really hurt, and 2, you'd be surprised how often that turns it into a victory. The problem is sometimes that our play style is easily countered by a different one. When we go and do something totally unexpected every round that can be enough to shake things up, even if the strat is kind of dumb. On T, hiding all around the map and making a mad rush for B with 20 seconds left on the clock works way more often than it should lol
Our thought process when it comes to gaming/competitive is VERY similar. If we are going to do something, we will do it the right way. Cheers bro, this was a great vid.
It’s really nice to see contents like this coming out despite all the changes and negative stuff around the CS2 release. Pls share your nerd doc I’ll love to check it out and take it as a reference. Keep up the good work ✌️
This video is really amazing. It's rare to see the learner's side of the flood of constant cs2 guides and information. The spreadsheet is amazing man thank you for sharing.
Man this same thing happened to me. I wanted to be better in the game so I started playing it every day for a 4 week period. Now I am better at it. My goal was to go above 10k elo and I did. I started at 4,5k and work my way up. My last week I was at 8.5K and it took me 7 days to get to 10k. It was hard but I felt awesome when I did it. Now you give me so many tips on what to make better in my next 4 week of the game. I like your video and I sub to you. I can related to every single word that you said.
awesome mental to have in cs, good tips as well. this might come off as a “just get good tip” but i cant stress enough - no amount of game sense will compensate for bad mechanics in the higher levels. there comes a point with game sense in cs where most players are capable of predicting a players moves, but not everyone is capable of punishing them. id personally recommend to spend time doing prefire maps, and retake severs to improve those skills, and get used to playing independently - ESPECIALLY if you’re solo queued. awesome video for players starting in counter strike
Yeah I saw a series of training maps and exercises that use something called Yprac, but I couldn't get it set up properly. That's probably the next thing I'd like to start adding to my practice routine.
@@JROGvids i used YPracs public servers but there private customs are whacky and dont work all the time, i use refrag instead - which does cost a little bit per month, but is very helpful.
your such a cool dude man this video is going to help a lot of people struggling and the only thing i can say about you is just keep playing and getting your game sense up and that's the only way you an really progress since you have good aim, smoke lineups, crosshair placement etc. but keep going you will be such a great player
Been getting back into the game recently and have been super frustrated with myself. It’s just hard to focus on getting better when I can only get on to play one or two days a week. Thanks for tips man, great video
This is what I’m doing atm, I’m doing one map at a time spending two weeks per map trying to master it. One thing that helps is downloading pro faceit demos for the map I’m currently doing and trying to learn tiny tips and tricks that aren’t shown in guides etc
Awesome mindset, it's what I aspire to after having watched a lot of videos from overwatch coach Spilo. I still find it difficult to adhere to these principle when on a losing streak, but I take a few days off to watch a couple of replays, practice nades and dm, and then it gets better. These tips also help in real life, my SO was trying to decide between two sport clubs and we decided to go with the coach that focuses on growing its players instead of the one focusing on winning. A few things I'd advise is: don't focus on too many things at once. I'd say focus on only one item per session, like "tonight I'll stop wide peeking everything" or "tonight I'll focus on managing my economy" or "tonight I'll aim before I start shooting". You should lose a few games because of it but after sleeping over it it will be part of your gameplay and will only need to be refreshed from time to time. My second tip is : use custom server DMs instead of matchmaking DM
Congrats man. Just so you know. What you have done here, is the same recipe to be successful in any career path you choose. It’s pretty much identical steps to getting better at any topic you wana lean.
This video and commentary really boosted my motivation not just for Cs but in general. Thx subbed and liked. I'm looking forward for more videos from you.
First few moments of the final thoughts were huge for me, I already watch counter strike related content when I'm not playing the game and I do honestly feel like I learn a lot from watching said content, overall great points good video very cool
This was a great video, I'm definitely not as good a player as you but I try my best to support my teammates when I can and just generally try to have a good time playing. It's huge how much being nice and supportive to teammates is for general enjoyment IMO.
this is great video for new players,well done, just adding 2 tips play retake servers cause you will learn a lot from it, also once yprac maps are released get those and practice pre-firing angles,
I got into my first cs2 game today. Top fragged. Led a team to victory and started a small cult in a streamers stream on the enemy team. My name in the game was "Guy" so people keep telling him "He was that guy". Issue is. I have mad respect for the bro streaming. He had mad awps. Bro was getting that snipe every other second on my team, but with each of us being so in sync for absolutely no reason considering how stupid the whole team was? I mean just color me impressed. We those idiots that's gonna start a group or team and take it to the top man. I didn't think I would enjoy cs2 half as much as I enjoyed csgo, but turns out they got some good fixes and people seem to be cheating so much less. It was an actual banger of a game. I was waiting for this for so long honestly. Years of playing with cheaters and bots and finally I can show my strength where it counts in the game. I genuinely didn't see myself getting back into the game, but after that first premier match? "Yeah, I'm thinkin I'm back." -John Wick (Quote from Jack Reacher idk)
I feel like I could gush for the rest of my life about how good the game turned out. I have no idea why people are upset, but I'm certainly not. Not sure what happened or why the cheaters vanished from what I could tell, but I finally feel like my skill is actually worth something to people now in the game. Sometimes you just want to feel like you're good at what you do man and when I played today for the first time in so long sense csgo stopped. I felt like everything I did was worth it. Am I worth a top spot? Probably not and I'd never claim to be. But right now and in this moment. I'm going to feel absolutely great about myself. And I think that's okay. I love the game so far. I love how well I play. I enjoy everything. Much love to this channel. Much love to all content creators. You make the world a better place probably.
@@Inklersblatant cheating died because of vac bans 5% of players soft cheat for sure. If you think someone is sus go in replay mode. I only seen it twice with my own eyes but it’s enough to know it’s not jus people raging.
great video man! it's awesome to see someone as hungry about the game as you are. I started playing CS back in Feb of this year and it has quickly consumed my life and became my favorite game. I have a couple of friends I play with and nothing beats the team play in this game. If you're ever on the lookout for a squad to play with, full of people who love the game as much as you I'd totally be down to play! keep up the great work!
I got to 16.5k premiere while only playing 20 hours a week because of work. The best advise would be treat your opponents with respect in regards to their aim. Always take the easy fights like off angles, blinded enemies and utilities. Aiming wise, focus on crosshair placement and practice microshot on aimlabs. Also you can create your own smoke line ups on each map and just have your team drop you extra smokes. It’s good to find a line up where you can throw 2-3 smokes from 1 position. I have some in my youtube channel.
Yo, this has been my mentality since coming back to cs, minus the spreadsheet, but similar in practice. I’ve caught myself getting frustrated recently with people because it ducks that others don’t put in this work and I forget it’s a game lol. I just want you to know that this is the greatest video in all of cs2 right now and I’m glad you posted it because it’s inspiring me to work even harder than I am and to be a better positive force for my team and my friends. Thank you. Also, add DarthMenno I’d love to play with you.
@@GuraGuraSSJ for real though, that was a bad reply on my part and I’m sorry for responding to you that way. I actually am in therapy and I wish more people could have access to it whether it’s financial burdens, mental models or ideologies that conflict with the idea of it. I wish everyone could. I hope you are doing well and I’m sorry if I said something that hurt you. We all need healing bro.
This is me currently. Been playing about a week now, since hiatus for about 2 years. I've almost forgot how to play this game. I play premier and started with 7k rating, now im 10k. I took 3 days to improve myself again, watching tons of 'coached' youtube video, and train myself again on the important nades of all the maps.
I just saw this video at my homepage and my first thought was something like meh I don’t want to watch this but man I’m glad I did. I started playing again a week ago and I’m kind of rusty but now you reassured me that I want to get back in the game. I mean the way you said things is so inspirational and not just for CS but for everyday life and other hobbies too. This is a great example of content that is entartaining but also it gives something extra to a person. Keep up the good work!
Hey, im a faceit lvl 10 and wasnt sure how to progress onwards now, starting to lose some more games trying to change things up too much and doubting if that was the right way to continue improving, youre video was exactly what i needed! Love it dude, keep up the great work.
holy crap! you got a talent! this could be on of the best CS channels in modern times, the style, info, and deliver is great! can't wait for more if you ever get more time and energy to do so! Appreciated either way!
Thanks for giving my channel a chance. I am currently working on the next video that's a bit more broad than just CS. But I hope it's still very helpful.
As someone who doesn't play Counter Strike, I can confidently say I'll be applying many of these learning methods to my main game moving forward. I play Overwatch for anyone curious.
realize im starting ti do the same thing, my aim and gameplay mechanics are decent and i get some good games but i need to start learning more smokes and tactics. I realized theres a lot on common with how you described it and how i did it as well, lots of similarities. Only about 110 hours in
Strong man keep it up like this and u will play with the most toxic mates and cheaters in 20k plus elo. But at least still better than those bot lobbys for sure
You're putting more effort into this than most people put into their full-time job! Amazing stuff, hope you're this great at everything and prosper in life
Brother my youtube algorithm brought me to you for a reason. I am on the same journey a month later; I think it'd be an amazing learning experience if I could just que up with you and learn from you for a couple of matches. LMK man!
Best skill is to have is recognize your mistakes and learn from them any situation. It will get you better really fast. From my experience i was a high elo LOL player so i have some things down, but the voice disabled is just something i dont wanna change. I gave it a try tho, but after 10-20 matches i decieded i have better informations by myself than fake "ITS B ITS B" then the other team rallying on A ...xdd I gave it another chance in my recent matches (according to premier its top 15-10% player,) so i tought it got better but it didnt. So if you are a solo player and your teammates get you angry so fast just play with voice disabled, you will not really lose anything especially in low elo, only 1/10 match you would've get some real information instead of toxicity.
Top % premier is a pretty bad way to see how good players are in an elo. I've seen a lot of trash 19-23k that play like lvl 3 faceit and 19k above is top 4% already. I'd say it's better for you to just have comms on but still have enough awareness to see whether the comms are right. This will definitely improve your map awareness in the long run as well as your decision making skills ingame.
I appreciate this video, there's so many helpful tips about self improvement which is something I've recently decided to do. The only problem I have is that I wish there would be a guide on how to verbally coordinate and improve morale on a team as a girl.... I often feel like my opinion and thoughts are invalid and will be rejected just because I'm female. This makes it hard in games when I want to say something that might improve the situation but I hold back instead for fear of backlash and torment. I love the game and I won't stop playing because of some comments from unkind players but now that I've reached a point in my (unprofessional) cs career where I want to advance, I am afraid I will just have to take the extra losses because I don't know how to navigate through this wall. So, if anyone has any ideas on how to deal with the sexist players, please let me know :D many thanks!
Yeah that’s a tough one. You want to communicate and be helpful to the team but you sometimes have a bunch of idiots who just immediately start attacking you. If someone seems hopeless and just wants to verbally attack you, just mute them. Focus on yourself and don’t let losers bring you down for wanting to play a game you enjoy. Hopefully you find a consistent group to play with who will respect your efforts. Best of luck on your journey!
I had a guy ranked 2k in my 14k game last week drop 28 kills. I think variances between matches is mostly this dog shit ranking system. I am climbing though, it's not impossible. Good tips in this video, going to implement this into my game play. Thanks!!
Wow what a full circle moment! I totally watched your Ibuki guides while learning SFV. That was my first traditional fighting game and the character I picked the whole time I played. Nice to see ya again outside of the discord!
@@JROGvids no way lol, now that i see your name i remember the fps discussion we had. Thats some major full circle moment, me and someone else started playing Counterstrike 2 and he linked this video :o Now i can learn from you :D
I know you mentioned in the video that you aspire to become the best solo queue player so that you can adapt to any role to assist your team. However, I believe that sometimes this may not be the optimal course of action. For instance, when you're carrying games, it's often better to play in a way that maximizes your gameplay rather than trying to fill a role that may not have as much impact as playing the way you prefer. While it's important to be aware of line-ups and follow your teammates calls, if you're top fragging, you shouldn't be the one carrying the bomb and handling other tasks like that. With that said, I think the approach you're taking is the best way to improve in every role and maybe in the long run being consistent in everyrole. Great video, and keep up the good work!
For sure. I think if you’re looking to climb fast, being an entry fragger is probably the way to go. You are forcing yourself to take more fights and are the one opening up sites and map control. I was interested in becoming a well rounded player and focused on a lot of different things over that period.
I’ve been grinding a few other games since then while I was on vacation. I’m a much higher rating now in WoW arenas, hit master rank in Street Fighter 6, and started learning Tekken 8. Went to a few tournaments for fighting games too. I’ll return to CS2 though. I like competitive games.
@@JROGvids Im playing tekken aswell, trying to learn combos with Jun right now. Not too good in fighting games but trying to get better, only games im good at are fps games
I mean yes, you are tryhard, but that’s how life works as well. If you trust yourself, the process, and you put some real effort into becoming better at something, you eventually obtain results. Loved this video and I hope your ambition of becoming better lives up your goals.
Pls, dude start being that channel that is posting "X cs tips in X minutes" or is explaining some tactics and mechanisms in cs2. You have great voice, diction and you do not have to be a pro player to explain those things to people, if you was doing one special routine but you are still not great it's even better than just a pro player explaining that thing because we can learn it with you (if you know what I mean) Please keep this channel cs2 theme, you do have a holy BIG potential and I am sure you can succeed ❤
