Ever since I started trying to get better at counter-strike, I’ve been intrigued by the idea of working with a coach. But I always felt like it wouldn’t be worth it for a lower skilled player like myself. Like won’t I just get better if I play more? Isn’t it kind of embarrassing to spend money on something I actively suck at? I’m not sure why exactly I’ve made these judgments. After all, hiring a coach or tutor is an accepted practice for novices in all sorts of hobbies and activities - so why not competitive video games? After waffling for a bit, I decided it would be easier to justify this to myself by making content out of it, so here we are.

It takes a lot of humility and courage to share these coaching sessions, I seriously admire you. Thanks for the uploads, even as a high elo faceit player I can learn some new things.
thanks, i appreciate it
Nice pfp. For a second I thought it was the moon.
@@xboxlasagne thanks should be done by your client not you
@@TheAbstracteD he is the client bro tf
The car sounds are so well edited and that is funny to me
lmao thank you for noticing
@@xboxlasagneI thought the same thing
The big reason i keep coming back for these videos is because of how blunt and factual phoenix is. doesn't sugar coat anything. Best way for me to learn!
Video barely starts and we already have the first "oh no" hahaha. Great video! Thanks for sharing all this with us.
Takes alot of courage to put your own coaching lessons, mistakes and critique out there like this and i respect it alot. I can see myself in some of the problems that you also make and helping people recognize where they make wrong is the first step to improving. So thank you for this type of content 💖
thanks for the thoughtful comment : )
@@xboxlasagne It's the least i can do (aside from dropping you a sub aswell), nah but jokes aside, i enjoy the content. Gonna be looking forward to future uploads
Of all CS content, this is absolutely my favorite. Thank you for uploading these, it's a treasure trove of information.
currently at 12k premier and love this series, awesome coach and love the commentary between you two. keep em coming! :)
woohoo nice : )
I like this series, has helped me quite a bit especially utulity wise. Thank you for making these.
Glad to hear it!
nice editing, thanks for the upload man !
2100elo on faceit here, great video bro. this vid probably one of the most important lessons when regards to movement/winning gunfights!
Another great vid! Very interesting! And I’m glad to announce to you that I’m starting with Pienix too, and the choice of the coach was because of you. So I send to you a big thank you 😘
awesome, glhf!
I really enjoy PIENIX's coaching style. I like that he really doubles down when you've done something wrong, even if you had good intentions, and will make you say why you did something and realize it was stupid. You're trying to improve objectively, so you gotta be objective. Thank you for uploading this stuff. I only played Lake WM since the mode debuted because I was sick of toxic comp and idiots back when CSGO first came out, but after watching these and being forced to play Comp (Rip lake), I genuinely think I've been doing better and actually enjoying the mode. Good luck with your journey to improve!
thank you for the thoughtful comment and shout outs to Lake
This vid video is an absolute goldmine for me as I'm doing the exact same stuff in cs2 which is the reason im bottoming, i'll surely watch the following vids as well, seems like you got a nice coach right there.
A great tip to change your crouch spray habit - change your crouch key to Alt instead of control or to a new key that is a little more awkward to use at the same time actively remind yourself to use a & d instead of crouching when spraying / bursting.
That's actually goddamn brilliant.
I feel like losing easy crouch-jump access would be problematic
@@beefwhiskers crouch jump bind fixes this
nah make it alt like they suggest. It's close enough it doesn't hinder ur ability but it won't be muscle memory @@beefwhiskers
i will try it :)
These videos help a lot because I make the same type of mistakes that this guy makes
I can relate with you with the crouch spray thing. Difficult to break this habit.
These videos are underrated
I got some tips: I’d say 99% of players develop this same habit at SOME point during the learning curve. Just saying “stop crouching” isn’t enough. Most importantly is to practice pull down because the core of crouch spray is pull down compensation. To Coach’s point, I’f you do the workshop and aim botz you will crouch less. I’ve even had to unbind crouch from space for practice. Trust me, press crouch and getting HS instead will break the habit. Alternatively I place my thumb BEHIND my space bar now instead of constantly on/over it. The thumb placement changes the subconscious reflex into an actual decision.
yeah thumb placement helped me the most. and just having the counter strafe mindset always
Even when the criticism is repetitive and harsh you are very open to it. Good watch. Keep learning! :)
Thank you!
I actually like to chrouc and burst it makes players miss sometimes and its part of my playstyle now great video
woa that was really helpful I don't pay attention to those problems enough.
you can't fix a problem without first knowing you have one : )
man that car sound on pressing w while smg rushing was funny af !!!!!!! relatable af cause i DO that a lot toooo XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
🚗💨
best advise is to practice with deagle for aim and movement. the deagle forces you to move more agile and to sidestep in between the shots/taps instead of crouching and spraying. if you master to only one tap with deagle, you can play every other weapon aswell. so go on deathmatch server or whatever, pick the deagle, and focus to only shot if your crosshair is on the enemys head. it will take you a while at first to get decent in this case, but ego or stats doesnt matter when it comes to practice.
actual good advice
You should try a LIVE coaching game. Like he can spectate just you and help you in real time to see how you do. Good vid 👍🏻
we may end up doing this at some point! im curious to try it out.
lmao pienix sounds like a disappointed dad whenever he sees a clip of you ignoring his basics 11:47
those race car sounds 😅
Great video again. Can you share how to practice basic peak/strafe/crosshair placement training as there is no yprac maps for CS2? Pienix was mentioning there was a solution for it as you had the same challenge.
Thank you, keep up the good work.
you can check his first video on this coaching series
xD hastily jump shots a guy on heaven "Oh My God..." - Coach, very dry: "That was not a clean kill" - love the commentary
lmaooo
how to take mid: molly corner, aim at corner for 2-3 seconds. smoke deep right side. done
i would play it with two people have one cover right side and the other goes up left to pick people.
i have this reflex of spraying and crouching too and I really need to get rid of it
whats the training mod he fires up at 12:50 ? looks super useful
Great lesson. I could definitely use those aggros ingame. Btw, does he mean YPRAC maps when he said something about exercises?
Yeah, afaik yprac etc aren't possible yet because of no scripting API in CS2. So I'd love to know what solutions he speaks of

@@xboxlasagne Thank you sir!
im trying my best to get rid of this bad habit too, on dm im strafing and burst, then in comp match i do it quite a lot
Me too. Also doesn't help that my keyboard switches have super high actuation point so whenever my pinky is resting on Shift I often accidentally press CTRL as well.
Same. And somehow, maybe different tick rates idk, In DM I get HS’s left and right, perfect peeks and head snaps…
Okay, ready. Start a Premier match and I can’t get a kill. But that’s also what team I get tossed into. Sometimes I go 30-10 and then 0-9 first half…I got sidetracked and I lost my thought lol. So I’m just gonna leave it as it is xD
I think that’s because In DM, you don’t value your life, because you know you will respawn, so you take extra time to line up heads and successfully counter strafe. But in MM, you have 1 life a round, and you are subconsciously focusing on staying alive by ANY MEANS - which causes panic sprays etc - rather than worrying about getting good shot placement - which in turn, keeps you alive for longer - Maybe this is hard to understand, but when I figured this out, it boosted my gameplay in MM and faceit like crazy
@@andrewskidmore1367 excatly, fighting back efficiently is the best method for winning
gotta xantarees peek now instead of ferrari peek xD
still missing the GOAT warmup maps though (ypracs)
Years and years of fps gaming where you become super accurate while crouching has ruined CS for me. The only way ive been able to fix it has been to unbind crouch completely and assign it to a key more difficult to press
Hmm awkward…ooo I know, F11! 🤣 good luck crouching.
Edit: I just imagined trying to crouch jump onto ‘fire box’. Talk about awkward lol.
Watching this series has made me so much aware of when I'm doing things wrong
im pretty sure best T spawn can run through your mid moly and that would kill you everyround, you don't have time to throw moly smoke and flash, you need to be 2 mid to throw all this utility
yeah I mention getting punished at some point - this is what I was referring to. Luckily it never happened this game
so i thought accuracy is influenced by movement.
is this only the case when pressing W or S or in general, even by strafing?
Accuracy is always influenced by moving, but if you are strictly strafing, you can stop on a dime by pressing the opposite direction and be near-instantly accurate. This is called counter-strafing.
When moving forward or back, it's much more awkward for your fingers to press the opposite key, since it usually means moving your middle finger to the key. So holding W or S while you strafe out to engage the enemy puts you at a significant disadvantage.
I recommend searching up counter-strafing tutorials to learn more, it's an extremely important fundamental mechanic to improving at CS
Crouch spraying is my biggest problem.
Love leeching off these free coaching sessions. I’m now 9k rated bc of it
let's GOOOOOOOO
No way he nicks Pienix
Hey would be really nice if you could show your progress in ELO and if the training is resulting in an improvement :)
im not sure how exactly to incorporate this in the videos but i placed 3k in premier and am now over 8k and playing pretty well in my lobbies.
That is great progress! How many hours a week do you play? As a working parent i get barely 3-5 hours gaming squeezed in a week, wondering if getting a coach is worth it….
So crouch spraying has been preferred in 1.6, source, csgo but because subtick has ruined serverside refresh, sprays aren’t accurate/inconsistent based on the tick updates and thus is insanely rare your spray will be controlled enough to spray transfer or even anything past the first 5 bullets thus it’s better to just keep cstrafe bursting 3 shots until they fix it or dont
is there a reason you use recorded pov demos over gotv demos(set to pov)?
Probably to include in-game comms?
I'm gonna disable crouching until i get This habit out of Me
Is crouching that bad if you’re not holding the whole time you’re shooting? I do have a bad habit of crouch spraying but most of the reason I started doing it in the first place was to make it harder for my opponents to hit my head, and also as a noob alternative to counter-strafing. (I still have like, less than 150 hours in game). I know if you hold crouch then it won’t take long for your opponents to move to your head but if you sprinkle in some crouching and stand back up pretty fast, strafe, crouch, repeat, then theoretically it could make you a harder target to hit, no? Couldn’t it be helpful if your aim is pretty accurate and you’re able to track pretty well?
something to consider is that at noob level you may be crouching directly into your enemies’ too-low crosshair
People do the c and spray before they understand that you can just pull the cross hair down quickly for the same effect.
Tough to break, this channel has been very helpful for my game, appreciate the videos and learning in a public way takes a lot of character so good on you.
its just a bad habit, it was decent in csgo, horrendous in cs2
I mean its always situational. Its great if you know you have an isolated 1v1 sometimes but yeah pretty much any time you are going for a multi frag its a definite no no.
@@SlayNorway Yeah there has been some adjustments from csgo to cs2, also some teething problems. The game was released way to early the beta needed to be longer.
you guys ever seen donk? he constantly crouch, release, crouch while spraying for his tripple kills xD He's kinda wipping up and down while he spray, think thats a CS2 thing which would not work in CS GO.
Something to be aware of playing mid. The counter strat to what you are doing is having a player flash over for one to push through the molly or smoke. From where you're playing and how, you'd be full blind and dead.
yeah I reference being punished at some point in the in game VC and this is what I was referring to
I dont see any problem with crouching while shooting🤷♂️
Problem is you stand still becoming an easy target. It works on a 1v1 but on 1v2 not crouching gives you a chance to run away after getting a kill.
There is a bug in CS that for 2-3 shots you are fully inaccurate when you crouch. Which also explains why its harder to frag when you crouch peek.
I am new to the game started about two weeks ago, I came over from valorant, I am 9,999k elo rn, these videos are nice because I see some of these mistakes in myself and it helps me be more self aware, but I must say you are paying for a couch I assume but you have not even looked for warm up maps??? I found them, I watched 100 RUclips videos before workshop maps got here so I could warm up, I have been trying non stop to get yprac maps to work, but you pay for a coach and don’t do research, I’m not hating I love the vids just maybe I misunderstand your commitment to improving.
As for my routine if anyone is curoious, I do it every day, even on days I’m not actually gonna play premie
1: eye warm up 10 mins
2: Aim labs 20 to warm up they eyes wrist and arm(this is practice too I am challenging my self not just chill warmup)
3: I practice my counter-strafing 15 mins ie:stoping on a dime without bouncing back, stoping exactly where I want to stop then I add shooting to it
4:surf 10-20 mins depending on what you wan get into a flow feel good serotonin… happy
5:death-match strict 1 tap only with AK or Deag 3 games (lose all happiness)
6: PREMIER (don’t overthink it, trust your mechanics and focus on the rest of the game)

@@xboxlasagnebroooo my bad I wasn’t trying to be mean I really don’t know how to communicate this. I am just trying to understand where your commitment level is, I swear I play video games man my human interaction skills are non existent
@@skrummyy6631Brother, you do warmup for over an hour? You need to take videogames less seriously 😂. Besides, coaching is vital for fast progress because other people can detect flaws that you cannot.
@@Thegamingbearz I enjoy the warmup, I don’t take it “too serious” it’s just like playing the rest of the game, it’s fun
What are the exercises he keeps mentioning?
you must do 45 pushups

maaan i completely disagree. Donk always peek sprays and i completely picked up this habit watching his videos. Different playstyles suit different people. Its not necessarily wrong. Its like the same topic of "crouch spraying is for noobs" which is completely false. Low ranks, its kind of bad because you end up getting head shotted. But is commonly done in higher ranks all the time.
Learnt a lot from this tips, shame your coach is quite arrogant and can't politely criticise.
with mps u always have to keep pressing W wtf is he talking about
oh, that was an awkward excuse that you didn't have workshop maps. They are in cs2 for a couple of weeks. xd
this was recorded a couple weeks ago and i was referring to specific maps that weren't yet available
I mean, are you not paying him ? Why is he so condescending ?
i appreciate your concern but we have a great relationship lol
crouching makes the aim straighter recoil isnt jumping around so much.
Nice video! Hey man, I made something for you! Do you have any socials where can I send it?
