@@desfefe Maybe not officially but I remember him saying at some point that doing that series got pointless because he was facing so many cheaters in his matches.
1. que 5man and get 3000 elo within a month 2. soloq faceit with 0 iq imbeciles and accelerate the process of balding (and maybe get 3000 elo after 3 months) you choose
Hierarchy of enemies in CS:GO for me: 1. me 2. teammates 3. enemies and the better nr 3. is or more toxic nr. 2 is, the worse nr 1. becomes. It's so frustrating to meet players who just seem to queue in order to spread toxicity, like what the f*ck are they doing with their lives? why would anyone join a match just to insult everyone? Then it's also really hard to keep up good spirits and mood in the team because most other teammates then get toxic too. Thats why I nearly only play private 10mans so everyone is known and if you're toxic you're gonna get less invites. Not the solution though good video Jeff, a lot of points I can relate to and I'm eager to see the next episode
Can’t tell you how much I appreciate you showing weaknesses and how you want to improve on them. Makes it relatable and engaging to watch. Love the video!
I don't personally know you, Jeff. But I would say you're a wholesome guy and definitely a breath of fresh air on the server. We all tilt at times, but you seem more patient than most.
Jeff put in like a 3minute clip of him ONLY whiffing at the beginning. Thinking about how many people wouldn’t do that is insane. You could say Jeff is better than 99.1% of content creators for showing us his fails. Hats off to ya
Hey bro. Following you since the begining and I just wanna say (kind of out of the blue) that I really value you as a person. I mean, I do value you as a CSGO player (^^), but I really feel like you are a good guy and I appreciate your kindess (posture check) and self awareness. Not sure about how to put this in english but, I like the way you present your introspective videos on how to improve yourself, that you try to fix yourself goals (in game, losing weight, ECL..), etc. You are playing for fun, but always trying to improve your level / game (using your brain, not just spamming games) and it "clicks" (?) me perfectly. I may be wrong but I think you are frustrated to never gave a real shot to become pro, probably cause you were afraid to not succeed. I am delighted that you are now trying to (don't lie to me Jeff, you want to see if you can match those pro dudes), and I am 100% sure that you can do that. BUT, if I may, I would like to see you succeed doing what you do best : being funny, thinking outside of the box, and trying ballsy stuff during real games ;-) That's a lot of words, probably looking like a simp right now, but you do deserve that message. So why not ?
I'm not a global, I doubt I will ever get good at tac shooters, especially with my dyspraxia. but the fact that you said "I need to stop couching" made me smile and happy as this is something I've been telling people whenever I coach. I've coached friends that have gotten higher ranks than me in games. Idk just something that made me smile. Thank you so much for this video Jeff. Remember! Aim and Slay, no spray and pray, Stand more for better posture, crouching can be the devil!
Jeff, t'es définitivement un content creator en or ! Continue ce que tu fais, amuse toi, progresse, ce que tu veux en vrai ... Parce qu'à chaque fois c'est un régal de voir tes vidéos. je ne joue plus à CSGO depuis 2016/2017 et pourtant tu es le seul youtubeur CS:GO que je continue de regarde, tant pour le contenu, les rires et le format ! Merci à toi !
I recommend to mute on faceit too, tell your teamates to do the same. I found out they stop as soon as no one is responding and then you can unmute him after a few rounds. If he is still arguing, mute, report and move one.
SoloQ MM in a nutshell: doesnt matter how many support flashes u throw ur teammates wont enter the site anyway, and then we are stuck there bout to enter the same exact way, but WITHOUT the FLASHES. CSGO went from a team game to kill hunting individually imo.
@@dariush7782 i was the one getting baited, with no support mostly, swear to god only flashes i got were Team flashes if even those🤤, and i quit cs so its just an opinion anyway
I don't remember what video it was, but in one of neoks he played a match with you in his team (it was when he played apEx), and earlier in this vid you described your playstyle becoming random and in neoks vid he said that his and his teams individual decision making and other things lost him the match. Im really glad during the course of this series we get to see you improve so much more and unlock your hidden potential as a cs player.
Great Video! Very relatable for me! There are some minor details on wich I wouldn't agree 100% but over all I totally agree! I would add that playing solo queue is really about your personal way of playing. You mentioned that you should try to avoid tilting over your mates because you dont have control over them. I think you can do more than that. I think a good way to prevent the tilt is trying to predict their mistakes and then playing accordingly. If your mates hide on the exit of A ramp Mirage then you have to realize that and simply hold the first angle you come across in order to 1. secure at least some space (enemy might even agressivly counter peak to get intel (because nothing is happening)) and 2. not throwing your own round in an heroic attempt to clear propably a dozen angles all by yourself. In other words try to get into a carry mentality. The potential of carrying on high elo with raw aim is slim I'd say. At least for humans ;D. It is all about decision making! You have to quickly adapt to your whole strategy rapidly changing because your mates don't act accordingly.
"This is part of the game. It shouldn't be, but it is. So if it's part of the game, it means I need to improve on that as well." Very well put. Many people don't understand the impact of mental and this makes it so easy to understand.
2:59 That's actually an issue I also still have. Always duck and spray. Thing is, that was meta in 1.6 and I played it for 25.000 - 30.000 hours and it's burned into my mind. I'm 8.000 hours into CSGO and still do that. Re-Building that takes hundreds of hours actively re-learning the game and I'm just not motivated enough to do that (have other more important things to do and spend less time/energy into csgo). Btw. hope you reported that norphyte, people like him should be perma banned on faceit.
i was mid game while beginning to watch your video and you started talking about being confident and taking more duel , so i tried in my game and it work pretty well
Thank you for another great video, Jeff! I like the angle of this video, towards personal improvement and showing the toxicity. I have not played one MM game the last few days without atleast one toxic asshat tilting himself and others.
Jeff you summed up my frustrations with myself and why I can't play solo queue. I play Valorant only and while it may be a different game, I feel like everything you say here is still applicable. I thought that I'm alone with this kind of frustrations, and I would like to thank you for sharing this with your community. I will do my best to grind solo queue like how you do!
Solo quing to 10 gaceit was one of the most difficult things I've done on Cs, so many "level 3-5" brand new accounts boosting friends elo on the other team. Had at least 1 in every 2 or 3 games. Once you get past level 10 games are better balanced imo.
Nobody's tiltproof Yeff, it's amazing to see you share your struggle because I think everyone feels like this just not many people openly admit that, great video
Really great content Yeff. One thing I haven't seen and would find very interesting is mechanical evolution during these grinds: I'm thinking you could do a 10 minute aim bot "benchmark" every few weeks and see if the improvements you are making translate to a quantifiable mechanical difference. I think ELO is a great measure (instead of global elite or lvl 10), but would be very interested in something that removes the teamplay aspect, not because it isn't important, but because it introduces some randomness to your results. It would be interesting to see how much you improve your mechanics when you are trying.
i agree, sometimes in csgo, it IS really down to the mechanics. I only started to notice this myself when i started watching twitch streams of pros and saw how different it felt to watch their POV vs my demos.
The part about not tilting is, in my opinion, one of the most important things that people tend to forget. I’m happy to see that more people are understanding the role that your mental state and general thought process plays in performing better.
This video truly shows competetive games from a whole new persepctive for me. Ive basically grown up with stuff like this so im used to all the insultss and everything under the sun toxic players like this can throw at you so i dont care i've been called it all and told to do it all, and ive just realized that it exists and never really thought about how people who arent used to it like jeff might have a horrible experience because of it. Also that deagle clip at 11:55 like that flick on the second guy was nasty.
Jeff this video was absolutely incredible, it’s so entertaining and I could relate to everything you said! Really happy you’re back with quality content keep it up!
Real great video! Perfectly explaining the ego of teammates and how to keep your cool round after round; so your performance isn't affected! The only way I got 2k elo was slowing myself down, but it hard when entries sit tetris and corner! So now I call my entry plays and see if my team can work off it. NA CS is ... can you make solo entry and hold the map for your team to come close the rest.
You just summed up how to improve on anything. The problem comes from people believing they are faultless. We love to blame anyone but ourselves. Its remarkable to have the ability to self evaluate and fix faults and I wish it was more common. Even with that said we wont be perfect but wont stop trying to get better.
Houngoungagne, my advice if you want it, coming from someone who got to top 50 NA in Dota (I know, not the same game, but similar concepts) 1. Adapt 1 of 2 mentalities regarding comm. 1a. Mute everyone (disable chat & voice) - The effect of tilt in public matchmaking is much worse than the advantage of having comms from people who are clueless. Unless you're playing with pros the pubs often have absolutely no clue what they're talking about, no matter the rank. Even people with high rank often just grinded and are still clueless. Use your minimap for SA to make up for lack of comm, this will also act as a sort of "training weights" for when you do turn comms back on and have good teammates. 1b. Alternatively just immediately mute any trouble makers. Do not try to talk them down, it'll work once in never and will only fuel their trolling and cause you to tilt yourself too and feel hopeless. Just mute and play your best. 2. Sounds like you already are doing this, but never blame your team. They suck, that's basically just assumed, you'll get carried once in awhile but if you're trying to climb and you think you deserve to climb that means your team is worse than you. If you want to be better you have to improve yourself, never ever blame your team, blame yourself. No matter how awful they are, you could always do *something* better. 3. Watch lots of replays, of both yourself and of good players. Not necessarily just pro matches (but those are good too) because those play differently than pub matchmaking, find "pub stompers" and smurfs and watch how they play too. Good smurf replays are gold because they have learned how to excel in public matchmaking. 4. Always play to the bitter end, never surrender, never give up, it's practice for when games actually are recoverable in different circumstances. There are obviously some exceptions to this rule like if your entire team is AFK or something. Additionally, if you want to take a Chaotic Evil approach you can try some "psy ops", identify a weak player on your opponents team and instigate their side to start flaming before your side does. This will often prevent insults from starting on your own team as well. E.g. "Wow, Player A just keeps letting me have A site for free!" it shouldn't be mean, just plant the seed, their own toxicity will do the rest. Obviously a less morally just tactic, but it absolutely works.
Last game I had on faceit, team demanded I planted the bomb with no info, didn't even secure the site and of course I got killed and we lost the round. Pistol round, by the way. For a long time I've accepted that it's better to play as a team, even if it's a bad call, if you play with your team you have a better chance. But that just pissed me off when I was already frustrated, muted them and just played the rest of the round as deathmatch. I was under the impression faceit was supposed to have good players that actually care, so far it's been trash.
10:40 I always laugh my ass off when someone starts raging. I dont know, its just funny as hell seeing someone throwing away his humanity over a single situation in some online game. xD
Dude! Come for Warowl, stay for Houngoungagne! Seriously tho, both of you have such a valuable and positive and honest/humble insight into this game and people in general (what motivates, what causes internal turmoil, attitude and striving to grow and learn at every opportunity). I do not have the natural skills of either of you, but I love playing CS. Toxicity and tilt are two of the biggest barriers to a good/relaxing evening of playing and watching this vid (and others of both yours and Mr 🦉's) brings me much peace and hope for myself. Keep on bringing out the awesome content that you do. Allons sie!
Regarding the tilting team members, I would recommend finding some good gaming hubs on Faceit. For Danish people we have "Dansk 5 Mands Stack" (Danish 5 man stack) and they have clear rules. If you leave, tilt, use abusive language etc. you're banned. I know it's probably not easy in other languages, but I would urge you to try and find some like these.
Highly recommended n0ted's aim routine on Kovaaks, it is crazy hard. So hard in fact that some challenges I just skip because I am not at that skill level yet. If you get median scores on every challenge in that routine you are already an aim master.
The fact that Jeff is willing to show us where he’s messing up, then give us a solution to the problem without blaming his entire team is amazing. It’s important for these higher tier players to admit that they’re not perfect, but it’s unheard of to see them actually show us the problem. Jeff has always been able to admit his mistakes as both a player and a person, and it makes him the best CStuber (Sorry WarOwl)
Been half a year since I stopped playing cs. It’s been nice seeing how you handle the game, despite being in the top of faceit. I’ve had a lot of trouble with this, but I was nowhere near level 10. Unfortunately, I ran out of time to play the game consistently, so it looks like I’m stuck where I’m at.
Jeff, don't forget to report toxic people, Faceit does actually care about toxic people, so, if you report them then they're gonna check the demo and give em a punish. You got this my dude!!
i feel like what you said was 100% true cs/ valorant solo q will always be mental v mental the hardest part is trying not to put ur self down on a mistake that could’ve been avoided
Honestly glad you made this video and the previous one. Because ranking up in NA is nigh impossible rn it's hard to know how skilled you are compared to the very best, which I'm sure all players think about sometimes. If you were getting shit on like you were then I definitely know I'm nowhere near that skill level 😅
Like I really want Global Elite ... But this video made it clear, that i need to work on my self, aim and not to get tiled my toxic team8s. Thanks Jeff.
First of all thank you very much for the tremendous work to create this video! It is insane that in the high elo you have this kind of toxicty as well. Thought this would be better the higher the level 😧
Actively using game time (free time, rare relaxation opportunities) to train my aim on csgo is something I'll never do. But, good luck on your tryharding. Hope it yields results and makes you happy as a result.
Hey Jeff! To deal better with your m8s you can improve your leaderships skills as well, and not just work on not getting triggered. In the last example you have showed, your own ego was getting in your way. You THINK you have a good idea with controlling apps, but you don’t have consent from your m8s. They don’t accept you as a leader. One way to do this, is to ask “does anyone have a great idea?” Or “I would suggest to control apps, because they are low on money. What do you Gus thinks? Or do you have a better idea?” In the situation with the toxic guy at dust_2: remember everyone wants to be loved. I often “defuse” situations like that by phrases like “hey yellow, you sound like a nice guy. Did you had a bad day / bad games today?” 2 good books on this topic are the 5 dysfunctions in teams, and why people need you to lead us. I normally build companies, but what I have learned there works very well in CSGO solo queue as well ;) great series, keep it up 👍🏼
Awesome video my friend, is it easy for you to tell me the link for the last training map you've played in the video (mirage) or tell me how it's called please? Thanks in advance :)
No worries bro people with mental issues will allways hate.. just keep focusing on your goals so once you reach them you will be even more happy 👍 I hope you start doing more of thous videos I really love to watch.. stay healthy meanwhile cheers
Tremendous content! And for me, a poor lvl4 and gold nove, also quite learning. I will improve by copying you! Keep it up! Penne a la arrabiata! Brocoli!
Great explanation about how you handle yourself around toxic team mates. In my opinion, it's actually applicable to other games. THanks for the valuable lesson jeff! I also learned a lot by watching you for a few years
hats off man, i am literly stucked at lvl 3 and 4 cause of me being tilted every single match, i just can not handle the ammout of low iq on 90% of my teammates, so i easily get tilted, one more to mention, most of the teamamtes act as u r their enemy, when u give a call like, last 2 a lets go b etc. good for u that u do not get tilted and still can improve, btw i go most impact in most of my games, still in somehow can not manage to win. my avg rating is 1.5 and kd is 1.7, still losing, and yes kd does not mean anything, but i have 90% of my games the most entries, trades, ud etc.. still losing.
10:27 That's the vicious cycle of Faceit. You meet people being idiots, you in turn act like an idiot. And later on you make others act like idiots. That's why I stuck with MM. Faceit players forget that it's just a game. And boy, am I glad CS2 is coming with better servers, so even less reason to play on that toxic cesspool.
i think in faceit level 6-8 is most nicest people in cs, last week i played first time with the ''big boys'' and the toxicty level was something else :DD
Damn, I needed this video a long time ago. To be honest, the main reason for me to ever attempt ranking up in CSGO was to get to a level where people would actually focus on playing the game instead of being shitheads. I quit the game years ago, but I would've had a completely different approach to it if I knew the cancer goes all the way up. Idk what it is about games like this that attracts the worst people the world has to offer. Or maybe most people are this shitty and just legitimately scared to be like this in everyday life, either way there's literally no reason not to just turn off voice chat and stay low elo.
When did you do the "Road to Global" ? If it was before the June 2021 update (when they changed Prime status from "free" to "paid"), then maybe it is worth giving another shot as after the update amount of cheaters have drastically decreased.
