r/LearnCSGO

I have 1440p 180hz screen and i'm playing on 16:9 1080p res. I know most people and pro's play on 4:3 stretched res. I tried 4:3, and even though models are bigger i feel like everything is just so much faster and claustrophobic .

i dont know,maybe if 4:3 streched is better i will get used to it.

Hi,

Just getting back/new to CS2 only have 100hrs on the game, just been watching YouTube videos and TikTok’s on warmups, aim training etc etc. I did stumble across a YouTube video some one promoting Refrag, was very interested as someone who is particularly newer to CS.

For context I peaked Diamond 3 in valorant, but recently realized how shitty riot games as a whole is, now I’m transitioning to CS2, even the 5-6 hours I played recently, I by far been enjoying it way more despite how bad I am.

Just wanted some insight on if Refrag would help me tremendously with aim training, warmups, lineups, exercises etc.

*Was thinking about the Comp tier for the 6month subscription or the Player 6months subscription.

Any insight or testimonies would help a lot!

Cheers!

So i used to play CSGO pretty often 7-8 years ago then stopped playing 2 years later with 2k hours

I do think I was pretty good but I never really got a high rank to prove it since I always just 5 manned with my friends and messed around in comp (3 of them were lvl 10s)

But now I've started playing again recently and have racked up around 200 hours and got faceit lvl 9 (although id say im much worse than I used to be) and I've always wanted to have good aim

I've watched players like nocries and donk and I dont even compare to being as good as them at all and I guess I shouldn't expect to since they're the best of the best but I want to at least be like 3-4k elo faceit

And now comes my sens, I've seen all these players with their sens and mine is comparatively quite high at 800 dpi 1.92 sens (1536 EDPI)

And would lowering my sens close to these pros help? I've used this sens for as long as I could remember and I would convert my sens in every game to match this

Right now I aim by instead of smoothly pre-aiming around corners i constantly flick to the corner im peeking which I dont really see any pros do

I do move my mouse using my wrist and my wrist only so I feel like being lower sens may be a problem (especially since even now my hand still bumps into my keyboard although I will be getting an 80% keyboard soon)

Basically do u think It would be worth it to lower my sens to try and make my aim better? My whole goal is just to make my aim better and would it deteriorate my years of muscle memory with this sens

Hello!

Im a diamond valorant player and want to move to CS2

Is the cheating part still that bad and do i need faceit?

Why you have ranks per map?

Thanks!

Hi all,

I am ~2y into my first full time job out of college. My role is 100% travel and as such I do not have living expenses. I make $95k base and ~$17k in tax-free per diem to cover meal expenses and such.

Since I started full time work I have been maxing out 401k and HSA, just getting started on a Roth IRA. My current balances are as follows, respectively: $43,000, $9,500, $2,000. Most of my net pay (after retirement contribution, expenses) has been going back towards debt. I am proud to have paid off my debt, and now I want to prioritize building up a solid emergency fund and saving up for a down payment on a house (~3 year timeline). In retrospect, I should have been doing this all along and am fortunate to have not needed an emergency fund (yet).

I am wondering whether it is advisable cut back on 401k contributions to build up an emergency fund more rapidly. My YTD contributions are nearly enough to meet full employer match already for this year. I would likely cut contributions from 25% to 10% or so, saving whatever is left of the 15% difference after taxes.

I am in an awesome spot to start stashing away money due to the nature of my job. I would appreciate any tips you all can offer. Happy to provide any more information as necessary.

My goals:

$10,000 emergency fund (savings account / HYSA, ASAP)

$80,000 down payment fund (HYSA, or conservative taxable brokerage)

I'm trying to try 4:3 stretched for the first time 1280x960 and things like text and lines look blurry and its bugging me. It does not look this bad when I watch youtube videos or streams of people playing in 4:3. The crosshair lines have a very annoying blur to them and so does any text. Especially the frame/network counter in the top right

Evening,

I want to get good (above average) at CS2. I have always loved the game, but I just suck at it, imo. How do I get better, and what are the things I need to get better at. What are the basic things I need to improve? How do I improve my aim and always hit heads? How do I actually counter-strafe, and many more.

All help is appreciated. Thanks!

My friends when they found out about my setting of 3.2 sens and 2500 dpi (asus ceberus) lately have been telling me it was an "insane" settup. Is that true? When i tried out their setting at 1.6 and below with 1000 and 1500 dpi, it was abysmal and I cant imagine anyone playing with it, you would need an entire table to even turn 90 degree much less 360

For reference, I'm level 7 faceit with around 700 hours. I've put so much effort into this game constantly, playing usually 3-4 hours a day. I usually train for around 30-45 minutes and queue faceit with a 3-stack the rest of the time. I just don't get why I have been playing so badly. I don't understand if it's a mentality thing or mechanics or game sense, but I just feel like my work isn't paying off at all, and it is frustrating to the point where I think about quitting at times. I know it seems like I'm just babying, but I really just don't understand why I am playing so badly, and I'm more confused than anything else. If you have ever felt a plateau/regression like this, please give me any pointers that helped you get out of it. Thanks

hello,

weeks ago I wrote here about my difficulties improving at the game especially on the mechanics side of things. I received many helpful answers and especially one from someone who offered me a free coaching session to check more in detail what was wrong with my training routine as well as a demo review. It helped me a lot, as I wrote this post I was referring to may leetify aim score as an indicator of current form - although it's imperfect I think it still is a great tool to evaluate said form.

I began practicing new simple exercices and couple weeks later I went to 55 avg. aim score to quickly almost 80.. I was feeling the game once again, and could clearly tell that I was playing way better like I should be, and it turned out that my mechanics weren't bad in the first place, I just had to rearrange some things in my routine, focus more on kill confirmation, and maybe adjust a few things on my setup. I even managed to rank up to level 10.

And suddenly I started playing like total shit again ! since last week, maybe a bit more, I just can manage to play a proper game like 1 time out of 15. I ranked down to level 8 and I think most game I have like 10 kills. Aim score went down to 55. My counter strafes are shit. My decision making is terrible. Crosshair placement still good but somehow I can't hit my shots. And I think most importantly even if I do my best to stay calm, it's kinda obvious that I'm very tilted.

I'm trying to be the most honest with myself here and I think I am burnt out from playing the game, which I still want to play because I like it so much, I'm sure you guys can understand this feeling. But I find enjoyment in this game when I play well - even if the game is lost, if I know I played well I still consider I had fun.

So basically I'm writing this post to discuss a few points

• if you ever found yourself in this situation in the past, how did you get over it ?
• are mental resets a thing ? if so how do you achieve it ?
• how do you deal / prevent being tilted ?

Thanks for reading !

I've been trying to figure out how to set a jump throw bind, i've watched like 4 tutorials and not a single one has worked

Did anybody experience really bad performance once you got above a certain elo? And were there any changes you made to get better push higher?

I solo q my way from 2k to 16k prem. I’d say since I broke 15k I’ve just been bottom fragging and feel like I belong back in 3k elo. It’s got me questioning sensitivity, crosshair, play slow play fast? Hold angles? Peek? Idk
