The Ultimate CS2 Game Sense Guide 

Thank you Wilson, I don't need the wallhacks anymore

"Imagine playing without your headphones and without your minimap"... Yuuuuh my random mates don't need to imagine this xD

This is probably one of your best videos. It has the length and the girth. Very informative and well done.

Even tho I am with 7K hours and some of the things you are saying are coming naturally to me, I must admit you made me conscious about so many mistakes in my play style. Especially the part with the "active vs inactive". I don't know why in 90% of the time I am on autopilot or I just overthink so much that I become useless baiter or saver. I just peek things or try to make myself useful by dying and giving info while fooling myself that I am useful. I must really work on that aspect of my game. I am too passive and I am too predictable which makes me easy to outplay.

really needed to hear that chat about going on auto pilot, big thanks

One of the best CS content creators. I’ve learned so much from you. You always put in so much work and I don’t know how you only have 28k subs (including me)

such a good video wilson. most creators just chalk game sense up with “play more” this will help a lot of new players

The reason why players got stuck up at lower elo because they dont watch videos like this..look at this dude's subscribers.. come on guys WilsonCS2 needs more subscribers. Lets share the video..thanks Bro for a comprehensive video..this is what i needed to improve my game..

Thank you Wilson for making this great video and also a huuuuuuge shoutout for touching the topic of minimap. Many guides don't mention the importance of minimap. It is the most useful and reliable tool in the game. There are many ways to utilize it the things i like to do with it 1. Always keep an eye on the minimap it helps you see where your teammates are playing which area is covered and what potential weaknese you have in the map 2. If your teammate die somewhere you can easily check where the enemy was using minimap 3. It will always give you correct position about the enemy even though the enemy will change his position you'll have a good idea where he might go 4. You can spam common angles using the minimap if you're smoked just bind the radar zoom for full zoom and you can get an idea where to spam using your position in the minimap. If you succeed 2 or 3 times you'll get a report 😉 and nothing feels better than enemy calling you cheater Don't forget to bind two radar sizes one for the zoomed out so you can see whats happening on the map ( you can use tab too but the scoreboard might block your vision and you might die due to timing) and the other bind for zoomed in so you can easily spam, check your position in smoke, dive down vent easily in nuke, know exactly where the bomb is etc. It will take some time to read each map but when you fully understand it you won't get killed in rotation that often

hey Wilson, I am here to send you a BIG appreciation for this video. I had been hard stuck in lvl9 to 2.1k elo for the past 5 months and frustrated for my own progress but this video help me to realized that I need to think more, I had been playing in the worse way "basically I play all my games base on my "survival instinct", first hand info, and just my aims" for my faceit. I will rewatch this video every 2 days and take notes until I had a good degree of making decent acceptable decisions in my elos. I wish to see this video sooner bro.

Have been playing and following this game and contents from RU-vidrs since 2017. I have to say, this video is right up there with some of the OG videos from warowl in terms of how informative it is. Very well structured, felt like a good lecture! Havent come across any content focusing this well on condensing game sense to tangible goals and actions. Definitely one of the videos I will recommend to friends new to the game! The part about autopilot really hits even after playing thousands of hours and realising that I could be more efficient in learning just by observing more, and not just "seeing". A very helpful video for new and old players alike IMO.😊 Cheers!

9:45 I have a minimap rule I copied from, guess what, a valorant player. If your gun CANNOT shoot, ALWAYS* look at the minimap. Knife out rotating? Minimap. Reloading your gun? Minimap. Pulling out util? Minimap. Staring at a smoke? Minimap. Second in line, not exposed to danger? Yeah, even that is minimap time If you find yourself lacking map awareness, try to build this habit whenever you play a game. You'll be surprised at how quickly you can place your team and the enemy. *Obviously there are situations where you can't shoot but should look at what's ahead of you (e.g. in between AWP shots while getting rushed). It's still a good rule of thumb.

I needed this, thank you. It reaffirms I have some correct mindsets, but also highlights my mistakes as well

Good video dude, I wish I had this when I was first starting to play. I’m glad it’s out here now for the newer players. ❤

as a guy who has played for many years I'm like lv7 face it so I'm okay at the game these vids are amazing and helping me think differently and approach the game in a different way lately thank you! good luck on the grind!

Solid work. Sweet vid. Sick purple combo😈🔪 👍

Thanks Wilson, your improvement videos are great. They are easy to follow and not too complex

Sua didática é excelente, adoro como vc sintetiza seus pensamentos e explique-os tão bem. Já sou jogador avançado mecanicamente, mas mesmo assim consegui melhorar muito com seus vídeos, eles sempre me ajudam reconhecer meus pontos fortes e fracos, e lembrar onde devo melhorar.

You're such a gem Wilson, I'm so glad you've kicked off in CS2. The CS community needs a guy like you. I really hope you can make a living out of this.

Very good video. One of the last things you said about making a decision is very important, I f*** hate when ppl take a kill and just keep sitting in the same spot. WTF you got a kill take the space and push forward. For all the new players watching - all of this is just the basics, there are a lot of layers on top of that, fakes on top fakes on top fakes. (for example I defusing bomb when a lot of time still left, as he said in the video the terrorist will think its just a fake, but I will stick it because he wouldn't expect it)

Man what a great video ! I have been playing CS for longer that I can even remember lol. But we tend to forget about the structure of this game we all love and play a countless amount of hours. ! Thanks for reminding us about the "advanced basics" :) I have like 4.3k hours in the game and need to be more focus on thinking, but not to much in order to improve my gameplay even more. I'll try to reflect more structurally like I should in my next games ! Take care sir !

Love the video something i do notice is even when there is no cheaters in a game of cs matchmaking a lot of players just play weird... (im 13k elo for refrence) Switching to faceit has been a big jump for me but im loving it, having all players in the game play somewhat "normal"

even tho i know most of the stuff i find your videos helpful and very informative, i also appreciate the quality, you just gained a new subscriber. Keep up the good work !

Excellent video, keep them coming . well deserved like and subscribe. Cheers

u make great videos 4 new players i appreciate it

Dude the profile pic tip is KILLER. Amazing video as always you are saving my elo

Good stuff bro, it just shows how much all kind of informations are valuable in this game. You may hit heads like crazy but without utilizing game sense you won't perform at your best.

10/10 ur way of explaining is perfect

GOD VIDEO WILSON, JUST LEARNED A LOT FROM THIS VIDEO. GOD BLESS U

what ive played around with in wingman (vertigo) is creating fake habits to throw them off so as Ts well go quiet stairs and then rush mid and repeat a couple rounds of solidifying that were only rushing and making noise for mid and shifting stairs and then do the opposite of that. that way youre revealing your playstyle round by round only sacrificing some rounds but still being aware of it

nice info bro. around two weeks im lose straight on premier mode. the point is, gamesense lost, after i watched ur video u make me want to play again and grind the skill back. thanks bro.

First video I watch of you and I really liked it! Super clear information. And valuable. Thx

I'just watched the video, rebemberd everything. Then Started a Premier match and with the things I rememberd and used while in the match, we ended up winning. Thanks Wilson!

Thank you, going on autopilot and being too much predictable is what I suffer from the most, so as I grow on that front I hope things will go well

Oh, I hate it when someone gives me a bad call and I have that gut feeling that they are wrong, but they keep pressuring me to a point where I just listen to them and we lose the round. My last match someone said "it's A, you should listen to the guy who has 3k hours" and then it was B, which I wanted to hide in and we lost the match because of a crucial gun round against ecos.

Very valuable 26min - whether you are new to CS2 or looking for a game sense reminder!

im new to CS and been looking for a vid like this, thankyou!

Great video as always Wilson!

quality content dude. thanks for sharing

Free coaching , nice thanks 🙏🏻

WILSOOON, great video, i like how to explained the concept instead of a sorta "do this, do that" philosophy.

It's a good point about making decisions. There have been times when I've been caught in that limbo of multiple options and find myself literally walking back and forth, ping ponging between decisions. Meanwhile, I'm not helping the team. If I had committed to a decision, even if it was wrong, at least there's a chance to be helpful.

One thing that helped me get my gamesense to another level is playing deathmatch without sound. Got a lot better at making quick decisions and more aware of surroundings and map... despite already having thousands of hours in the game and playing at a pretty high level.

I swear that CS is 50% about game iq and 50% aiming. Good Vid!

Sometimes I am kind of lost where I should be going, thanks for your video :)

I would add that knowing the economy of the opposite team also helps to predict what they gonna do. If they are eco or force buy PM, they will probably rush straight toward one of the sites so you should prepare your anti-rush.

Best cs2 streamer/youtuber NA no comp

15:00 omg that's so smart (also obvious I know, I'm just stupid) I just turned the pictures off because I often count enemies alive wrong for some reason, tried remembering the names but if one does remember the pictures they can easily tell by just looking up, also I tried to read enemies as a team lately, but ofc it makes more sense indiviudaly

thanks bro i needed this my game sense was 0 until i saw this

Wow this video is awesome, great content Wilson!

Your cs2 content is mindblowing. Thank you.

nice video as always :)

Thanks bro watching from doha Qatar

You couldn't even say vertigo is the best map without almost laughing haha Your videos are great, funny how I started watching not long after you started making videos

Finally someone who loves Vertigo

the beginning -- very nasty well done 👏🏻

Great video from the main man Wilson. 🤙

Really nice video and knowlege

Your best video so far 👌🏻

"just play the game" doesn't apply to some people because it's possible to play without paying much attention to what happens in a game. i noticed i had this problem because i cared too much about my rank, and too little on the process of improving. now the game looks very different that i am noticing what happens in a game, which is more fun than what it used to be; just running around to get a kill and wait in boredom for the round to end

Goddamn this video is godsend

wilson and voo are the goats, wish my teamates watched you

"The monkey needs to talk to you" felt like a threat

Huge video, man...thanks a lot.

Wilson is an absolute BEASTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Great video!

lets go another bangerr!

14:49 I’ve never thought about that, ion think it’s only for Ancient tho that feels universal

Beautiful video

Who is this handsome Wilson guy with this fresh looking cut, who's also giving out free CS knowledge?

I can smell my opponents through the screen now, thank you Wilson 🙏

we sploinging to that video fr

another banger as usual

goated vid

This is a great video and all, but how do you implement this information when playing against people that do the most unexpected shit every round

Looking good dude

Fantastic video

Subbed

If you're interested in CS2, I highly recommend watching this video. It's not your typical video about positioning, aim, pre-aim, movement, or tactics. The video is well edited and definitely worth watching. If you love the game and play it with friends or a team, it's a must-watch and I suggest commenting on it with your teammates. :)

Biiiig video mr wilbert.

Could someone tell me what's covered in the book 'The Fundamentals of Counter Strike 2' that's available on Amazon? I've heard it delves deeply into the strategy and psychology behind the game. I'm curious to know if it also covers team tactics and how to improve individual performance. Has anyone had the chance to take a look? I'm thinking about buying it and wanted to know if it's worth it.

Behavior I’ve learned from playing too much mm: If the enemy is a five stack, 80-90% of the time they will nade stack on pistol round Inferno so just wait a bit for them to waste their until then push.

Great Video

What is the setting of yr in-game radar, thank you!

Now if only Wilson could teach me how to read a book

It's NA defaults for sure, because in EU there's for example only 1 guy holding A site.

"anime profile pic guy" yeah, that really narrows it down for cs players

Great video. I disagree with the part where you'd assume it's a fake or not, because pros don't fake.

Did anyone told you before how much you look like Synyster Gates (A7X Guitarist)? 😁

can u show ur vdo setting and view model

bro is spitting

Any advice for Solo-Premier players is always a big deal, thanks! The comparison of low/high ELO defaults is very interesting. As a proud 3k I can confirm the mirage A stack lol!

one thing i saw in a video that someone said is to use your REAL LIFE BRAIN. for cs. not your cs brain. analyze a situation and figure out how to overcome it. just like you would do at work, school, etc

I know that you know that they know that you know that I know that you should watch all of Wilson’s videos.

La cabra señores 🐐

Wilson, why did you leave Forrest Gump in the Scene Cast Away. You was the Volleyball.

Bum Bap Bing, Wilson Shows us how to win

Ehat is your sens in cs2

AleksiB prepping his knife rn. If u know, u know.

Every time i glance at my minimap for one nanosecond i get wide swinged and die
