Do you think this applies to other FPS games Voo? I loved the video and I don't even play CSGO as I'm a console gamer. I appreciate the angle information. I found your channel while looking for info on slicing the pie. Who is the best player to watch to learn angles? Is it you and how would you apply the angles and movement stuff to open maps such as in a Battlefield V conquest game. I have looked for military stuff on how to best navigate a battlefield etc but I can't find what I'm looking for. Thanks for any help you can offer. Great attention to detail. My playstyle is moving from cover to cover trying to emulate a soldier rather than say a run and gunner with an smg jumping around shooting in COD. It would be awesome to see a video of you applying this knowledge to Battlefield V. I never really have a full team all working together covering angles with covering fire in formation etc so I am doing my best to learn the individual skills to stay alive on the Battlefield.
At around 11min you're talking about a "vy prac" where bots are stationed. I tried googling it, but couldn't find anything. Could you toss me a link to where I find these vy pracs? I'm looking on the workshop, but I've got no luck as of yet.
Don't forget a good sleep schedule, daily exercise, and a good diet. People underestimate how much the other aspects of their lives can affect their ability to learn and react in-game. Less than 7-8 hours of GOOD sleep can be as bad for your reactions and thinking as being drunk. 30 minutes of cardio (even a brisk walk) releases a large amount of BDNF, which helps massively with learning and reduces anxiety. Diet should be obvious, but if you're constantly binging on energy drinks and eating trash, then your blood sugar and caffeine levels are gonna be a rollercoaster, and your gameplay will likely be wildly inconsistent as a reflection of that. I got no sources off-hand, but they should be easy to google.
ye but look at flusha, jw, cerq and all the other pros who’re surely eating trash and probably exercising for not more than 1 minute per year haha jk obv
I have recently quit playing csgo because i wanted to focus on more productive things and also because there are no real clear guidelines on how to improve in the game.. i'm always left with so many questions unanswered.. soo i'm really excited for a video like this one, it might make me consider playing the game again :D
Every single player should see this video. I have about 4k h on cs and i swear lately the amount of people i find in lvl 10 on faceit or esea are insanely stupid clueless brain dead my level of toxicity increased by 90% not even joking, i do expect people to hold angles be patient or atleast support if i solo hold a site but NO no one knows shit. Ill spamm your video wherever i can bro it deserves to be seen like the rest of your content. Solid work
I had to add: the utility usage part... On inferno i cant understand why people waste ALL THE GODDAMN UTILITY THE FIRST 30SEC OF THE ROUND like....i play b on inferno so im sure atleast One bomb site is safe whenever i get bullied out of b by team mates who think they know better we lose b after 40 seconda into the round. People dont fucking get the concept of counterinitiation it drives me so angry.
Honestly you should try and focus a bit more on your own gameplay and mistakes instead of getting angry at others all the time. Because what does your mindset really accomplish? You are stressed out and toxic. Nobody likes to play with toxic players because they drag everybody down with them. CSGO is also about communication skills and staying calm and rational. You are allowed to get angry at others but don't let it influence you so much. You cannot change people in one round of CS and definitely not by yelling at them.
How many times you all where guarding a site confident but then somebody says "Wait a minute who is guarding A?" And then the bomb is instantly planted
have been playing since the very fist version in 1999 and i really enjoy seeing you kids playing, having fun and improving. The game lives on 20 years after its release with more emphpasis then it has ever seen by its players. therefore, i consider cs a competitive sport. It will take you hours of training to be good at it, just as in any other sport. One can feint the enemy, taunt him, outplay him, outaim him and last of all without any sense for teamplay you will never achieve anything. You can play for fun or in a league. after 20 years of discredit from the media (killer game, make people violant, etc..) the game is still around and gives so much to people of every age. it is about time that games like cs get more recognition and accepptance on the big media stage. this game is a living legend and legends never die.
Let me just say I'm global elite and like level 6 on faceit so, I'm not to bad but I always like to improve. This video is very comprehensive and very easy to understand, probably the best video about how to improve about
@@xarzneimittel8220 start playing faceit, it's like mm but more real teamwork orientated and people are more communicative, also the levels reflect the skill a lot more than mm ranks. Did I forget nearly no cheaters? Yeah
@@aboodabulaban2867 there are a lot of sections where voo is overly wordy. He explains very clearly but talks slowly and often says the same thing many times. This is good for classroom instruction, but no as good when people can simply re-watch a video to see it again. Look, the content here is great. But you have to admit that voo could edit more for length.
Im a gold nova 4 and with that being said.... thank you dude!!! I recognized so many things I do wrong on a regular basis. This video is the Bible of CS
Thank you voo for a truely comprehensive guide of the fundementals. So many guides on youtube don't really show how all the mechanics fit together, but yours does it extremely well. Thank you for helping me understand things a bit better.
So I'm a recent noob to CS, I have lots of experience with Siege and other shooter games, but CS has a lot of different mechanics nonetheless. While probably 0 people will see this comment, I gotta say, this is a video that every person playing CS should watch, it's so beefy and good.
This is by far the most comprehensive guide on improving in CS. I've bought N0thing's Udemy course and it offers some of pros perspective on *basic* skills, but this guide completely dwarfs it. Also: *Finish your sentences please. You only use"," when you talk Pepega.*
I’ve been constantly playing on and off after putting 2 years of my life into this game for the last year now and I couldn’t bring myself to play competitive again but after seeing lots of my former teammates playing again and some encouraging words from them I’m looking to push myself to get back into it. This is a great video to watch, thanks a bunch for this 😁
I also played non stop a whole year then my highest rank was in wingman gold nova, then it got boring af and I'm looking to get better to finally make this game more enjoyable for me
I never like or subscribe anyone, I mean, it's not my "thing", but damn you deserve a like on this, really well done, took preparation and a lot of time I bet, it's complete and accurate
Thank you so much for this guide. Ive been looking for youtube guides like yours and cannot find a lot of it. Positioning, peeking, aiming and teaching it on dust 2 is perfect!
Whenever I get demoralized after a tough string of games or toxic teammates I go back to this video to reground myself. Thanks so much for all you do for us Voo :)
before watching this video I was a noob, my friends would constantly flame me for team flashing and always going negative. But with this video I finally escaped Silver Elite and made it into the big leagues. Now whenever I check my dm's it's always people asking me to hard carry them out of silver. Thank you once again voo CSGO. You have made my life better
Came back to CS after a two years break, haven't even touched a mice during this period of time. Voo's videos helped me a lot back then, and this video points out everything I forgot. Thanks a lot for your amazing work!
I liked what you said about the 90-10 situations, It brought to attention something I often subconsciously do, realizing that something should've worked and trying it again later
I can't believe I watched an hour and seventeen minute video about Gameplay Improvement, but man, it was really good, that's really valuable, thank you so much for dedicating your time to this, the real MVP!
Considering playstyle I realized that I used to be mostly a lurker on t side and passive on ct. However, nowadays people are always baiting and waiting t spawn for a decade before even considering doing something in matchmaking. I forced myself to assume the role that nobody wants to have "entry fragger". I raised my sens to 2.5 and trained for a while and now I can litteraly say that when I'm in a good day, I win and when I'm not I loose. T side depends way more on me than before.
Somehow his voice suits his face 100%. I see some youtubers who sound like a macho man but look totally different and vice versa. His voice just suits his appearance.
My tip from when I went from around s4 level to a solid gn3/4 was how I learned to play with the people I play with. I started focusing on grenades and support as I didn't need to be the one who got 30 kills every game and so hanging back letting my team play and being one of the 2 in the 2vx situation let me understand who was dead and who wasn't and why and who they killed or damaged before dying and I started getting really good at flashes and timing them with my teammates pushes. TL:DR learn how to play with your team if you have a consistent one and try to be in clutch situations to force you to be the main person without help.
Used to watch Voo CSGO to improve before I quit years ago as a consistent ESEA player and global elite. Now I'm back to find new ways to retrain my mechanics for Valorant. Thanks Voo for still being a consistent content producer! This video is golden.
This is the best tip video i ever saw for csgo, even though i have 1700 hours the concept of angles in a clutch with the windows tunnel and dooor example around 48 min was amazing, great vid and thank you
Deathmatch make you play agressive and careless, which isnt always best option(in matchmaking). If your enemy is reasonable good, he will punish you for that. DM is good for quick warm up, but too much DM will have negative impact on your playstyle. Also, DM drains your stamina way quicker and if you got tired, your aiming will become "lazy"(lagging behind optimal curve), which means more missed shots.
This guide is just incredible, ty. Full of high value info from begging to end, during the entire game! Hope it brought to you the deserved rewards (views, subs, $, notoriety, etc)!!!
Usually i have a hard time taking these types of videos seriously since a lot of the videos are made by ”non-pro” players. But this video seriously feels like it's full on teaching me a bit about the game that i have never thought of in my 4,1k hours of playing.
For everyone who just doesn’t take in the whole video, to make to simple to u, just play the game and every time u die question yourself how u died and how to make sure it doesn’t happen again, practice your aim and game sense by just playing the game and always have a high chin and be sure to watch videos on tips and tricks to become better. This was the best explanation but this video is amazing and deffs helped me !!
To add for crouch peaking. When you’re meeting decent players, they will most likely hold the angle at a hs level. Which means that they will have to readjust their crosshair.
In silver I would never recommend it because their crosshair placement is closer to the crotch. If you crouch peek an angle that’s a free headshot for them
I've got an IGL guide that should mostly still be up to date (at least the specific IGLing part of it is/will be). I've tried to make a dedicated IGL video a few times now but it's honestly just so varied that half of it breaks down into "well it depends...........". I'll probably try again at some point but I've tried a few times in the last several months and just haven't been happy with the outcome.
I personally think you should use your wrist for all micro adjustements and the arm should be used foor large turns and big swings if you rely only on your wrsit to play then you going into run into problems on the suggested sensitivity becuase your wrist cannot turn enough to do some movements which is why wrist is always used for aiming and the arm is used to get you close enough to the opponent.
This video has scratched an itch in my brain. I'm MG. I've spent roughly 200 hours in MM, I've recognised and been very frustrated trying to improve aspects of my game. I aspire to play against skillfull people . I don't feel I deserve to be where I am and place the blame on poor decision making rather than raw ability. I tend to have a fairly anonymous presence on the internet. I know content creators monetise these videos and i'm not sure if you actually care but this video has helped me so much I can only give a sincere and respectful 'Thank you!' A well deserved sub.
even 3 years later such a good video. i took a long break from csgo and felt like i forgot a lot of the basics and after struggling a bit i instantly felt like i was more in control of what im doing on my T sides, i didnt instantly top frag every game but it felt so much better to peek
Hey voo! Thanks for coming down and observer TGS last Saturday. Just wanted to say I wished you could've casted the match, cut you're pretty knowledgable
VOO i applaud you for doing work like this(tedious). I started playing CS from the start, but life happened, I became a local professional poker player. (full circle) Getting back into CS nowadays and watching your beautiful voice explain, Its so difficult to explain the imperfect sciences. Everyone wants answers but there are none, instead only probabilities! Cheers from Texas!
yeah I think it probably would. of course part of the problem there is that they know it's a pug and will do that thing where they do dumb stuff because they know better and it's just a pug or they have a feeling or something
I feel like I’m entering a rabbit hole, and should question the longevity of this game before investing an untold amount of hours getting better at getting better.
This game has been running strong for many years and isn't going anywhere. Especially with the partial flop of Valorant and the massive influx of new players + growing esports competitions happening, you can't go wrong getting into CS now
Wrist aiming can cause some unhealthy strain on your wrist with prolonged play in my experience. My wrist felt like it was gonna fall off last week so I've been taking a break lmao
Shit, I've been playing CS since it first appeared, like 20 years ago. Finally trying to do something about my game now that CS2 is out, and I found this. Already improved my game. Thanks for the incredible work
I'm LE and just recently started focusing on utility because i lack at it the most, something i face atm is mentioned here 38:18, thank you for this because I've been wondering about the solution.
this video is like summarizing all your videos from the past 4 years that i watch you. Its like you wanna start watching one piece but you dont want to watch all 900 episodes so you choose to watch the arc recapping movies XD awesome video!
@5 26: I would argue you would not always wish to peek from further away. mind games and predicting defender's cross-hair placement is also important. in this particular example, if the defender expects you to go for the further away peek and position's his cross-hair accordingly and you do a quick crouch peek right next to the corner, it is arguable that this strategy might be superior. it is not clear whether the time the enemy would need to kill you, in the case of him seeing you slightly later but having his cross-hair right where you stop, and thus only having to press mouse 1, will be higher as compared to the time he would need to make a kill in the case where he sees you very, very slightly earlier but he has to spend further time to readjust his cross-hair as he positioned his cross-hair expecting a different peek (all other variables are assumed to be equal in both cases). The advantage gained from the geometrically optimal peek is very small in this particular example, as the two walls are relatively close together, and hence the further away peek, may not always be the best option. In general, the net benefit of doing the geometrically optimal peek and thus making the enemy see you fractions of second later, should be weighed against any benefit gained from doing the geometrically sub-optimal peek and forcing him to adjust his cross-hair position if this was counter to his expectation. Therefore the choice of best way to peek can be dependent on the context and the specifics of the situation. Hence, it may not be correct to advise people to always peek a particular angle/area with a particular type of peek. Nevertheless, most general principles discussed with regards to peeking have sound logic behind them. Haven't watched the whole video. So can't comment on the whole thing
yeah it's not always the case, there are plenty of situations where you can peek closer to the wall but in general the idea holds true. I think in one of the takes I did clarify that but apparently not this time around. I'd say for players that need to be told to peek as far away from the wall as possible, it's likely worth saying "always" or perhaps better "almost always" because I think probably on 80-90% or more of angles it's a good idea and if you can't differentiate it's not a bad idea to just stick to the safe play.
I used to be called dumb and stupid for using aim trainers. But here I am furthering my progress in being top 1.5% in the world with 157 clicks in 30 seconds, of course there are better people than me; But I am more ambitious to become the first dynamic and most advanced versatile certified personal coach. Highly enthuastic about what I do and how I'm willing to spend time to study and learn to teach more players how to be more faster, precise, and optimal in their gameplay.
true true. I also forgot about jiggle peeking. I'm sure there's plenty of things I forgot even though I took several days to make sure that my list had as many things in my layout as possible haha
isolating angles sounds great and all but a thing in csgo is when you focus on a angle for a few seconds and look away a enemy appears and kills u instantly 90% of the time
One of the most important keys to development quickly through the Quake -like, non premium -matches, is to implement a fair storyteller in your mind after each round. You can build that up(if your awareness is high enough) by watching through these vids. Podcast of these would be great (or make to mp3 and play) on background while playing -do you have? Patience is not talked in this video, yet its the most important aspects of all development. Comment by Q2 player who didnt play anything for 10 years and now started gaming with CSGO. Still moving way too much, but game sense is building up!
I went from SE to MG2 in 2 months but now I'm hardstuck and can't improve. I've done aim trainers, killed bots, done deathmatch, watched back my gameplay, watched tutorials, and of course did a TON of competitive, but I'm still not getting any better. Skill plateaus are a pain in the ass to deal with and it would be cool if you made a video on how to get out of them
Im playing on Le with ~1000h and thought I‘d have understood the basics quite well. This video really dealed with some problems I am quite unsure about and is great for improving
With my current mousepad I can't comfortably play on 400 dpi and 2.5, so right now I've settled for 600 dpi and 2.3 sense. Thanks alot, you made me think about how to peak effectively again and the change in DPI at least gave me a performance boost. (3k/4k clutches) Your video made me rethink everything again which in this case is good. Instant sub and like.
