People like you are the reason why I keep playing in my 40s, in a way the game wakes you up irl if you have the RIGHT relationship with it. Well said brother
This was a really good video, not just for CS but just to think about my life goals. I’m the same way when it comes to being passionate and hypercompetitive so it helps to have people like you challenge my negative thoughts and reframe them in a more positive light Keep making videos!
Fantastic video, please please make a video going over fundamentals. It’s something that everyone knows they need to improve on but there are 0 good guides out there for. I think your style could present the abstract concept very well.
Really great video and really useful discussion about a way of thinking that can be applied to many things in life. I think being able to remove that emotional investment (to a degree) is really useful in improving, regardless of how much you want to win or get good at the game. Just try and be chill and take losses and wins with grace and practice with purpose and focus. If you're trying to improve than you're only trying to be better than your former self, not every random you end up match making with yaknow? Still sucks to get dunked on by someone with an anime pfp tho that'll never change.
"We can do a lot better than the constant cycle of burning out completely, quitting for 6 months out of frustration, and coming back to do the same fuckin' thing." I went through this for 6 years with StarCraft 2, always 5-12 wins away from grandmaster (closest cs parallel would be faceit 9 or 10). This last year, I decided I wouldn't step back from frustration. I got hit with the frustration and stopped grinding games, and studied instead. My replays, of pros, pro vods. Took notes, back to it with only those in mind. About 4 months after I would've normally backed off - i got it. I've always studied my games, and better players. The only difference is the reason I was playing, and where the focus was. Having the goal of winning doesn't yield results. You win by being a better player, not by pouring more of your willpower and self worth into a given match.
I was pretty good at CS 5 years ago, but stopped playing. Picking it up again is so fucking frustrating because I know I'm fucking bad at it now compared to back then.
I really enjoyed this! I’m not in a slump (if I can brag hehe😄). Jokes aside, this was a really wholesome video. You have a real talent for motivating others, keep doing what you are doing, because you are doing awesome
I went in to learn about cs, instead this guy gave me a life lesson I wasn't expecting to get today... Now I'm sitting on my couch with that "hey, this is kinda true..." feeling xd
I’ve gone from 1 win off level 10 to almost level 8, all solo queue and a lot of teammates who tilt, toxic, tell the enemies where we are etc and a big one is no team play everyone just wants to get their avg kills up and play solo baiting and doing nothing to help win the round as a team, but apart from that what sucks the most is in game I’m just shit and idk what it is) Everything I do I get countered by accident (like when I hold an angle for 5-35 seconds and then I pull a nade out or check another angle and they peek it and I die Peekers advantage destroys me FPS drops destroy me But the worst thing is in warm up & dm im destroying people even though I spend most of the time not spraying and practicing my one taps so I don’t get into the habit to spray long range in a match and die, and then spend 10 mins or so spraying once I’ve got my aim sorted, and then I go into a game and get 8 kills its fuckin devastating 😂
What I do when it happens to me is I keep changing my sensitivity, and I don’t know why but it seem like I often start playing very well on a new sens for a while before I get used to it and become bad at it again. I don’t know what is the reason behind this and how I can fix that issue. It seems like getting a new sensi help me focusing in it and accomodate with it so I focus more maybe.
I swear to god I started playing cs2 on mid range gaming laptop barely scraping 100fps only because my friends where playing it most times so I gave it a try and now I’m saving money to buy a pc and putting in a ton of hours 😭
The problem is the awful matchmaking. I played 6 games yesterday and won all of them and 5 of them were stopms 13-0 13-1 or 13-2 no cap I have a win rate of 85%. I was Supreme in CS:GO but for some reason valve ranked me and my friends all into silver elo. we are always atleast 4 man queue
fastest way to get into tilt mode is when you played a 10 win streak and all of a sudden you cant hit shit anymore (server) and go on a losing streak of 5+ even when you do everything the same.
For me, Minecraft is the ultimate reset for my mind it lets me be more creative than the routine of playing any position on any given counterstrike map
Lose 200 elo? Imagine playing 3 matches against cheaters, losing 400+ from every single one of them. And yes, I checked the replays. It's insane how many cheaters there are in 13-20k, but that's a whole different topic. I don't get tired of the game, I get tired of losing against blatant cheaters. Faceit experience is way better.
I didn’t really watch the video yet, however I personally, don’t feel like I’m playing bad, I am hitting shots and from time to time carrying the team, but I just can’t return back to 2.5k elo, that I lost in December. I am 1.8k right. I will try to play better and improve in every aspect of the game.😊
Im bleeding elo every game in both faceit and premier i drop 30-40 kills per game and still lose. its not a "skill issue" because my job in this 5v5 game is to play my role, if i successfully stopped almost every B rush before it could develop, or got 2 kills before I died if i couldn't stop the B rush, I did my job. if im sitting on B playing my role doing my job and then almost every single round i come to find that im in a 1v5 or 1v4 because my teammates lost their aim duels then i dont know man not much i can really do there. soloq is the problem. nobody takes this game seriously anymore and you can't even complain about that because it makes you look weird or something but its the truth lol this game thrives when everyones playing to win but when half of the people in the game dont care then its basically torture
@@faurtracstv715 It was an example smartass. My point is I mean that every position I hold if I have enough impact they stay away from it and abuse other parts of the map and all teammates die before I can even do anything
Losing games doesn't mean you're slumping. Be aware of your own performance and know that unless you're in a 5 stack, you really can't control what your teammates are doing.
It's not about motivation, slumps or mindset. I've had losestreak of 7-8 games, where in 5 of them I was in top place of my team, and other 2-3 I was second in my team. And I am just losing because the game keep throwing me sandbags in my team. In last months of CSGO I was playing as Nova 1 agains GLOBALS, then lost to them and got deranked to silver. Yeah, of course my motivation and mindset is at fault, it as if with a good mindset I can find adequate teammates and enemies, not sandbags against global. Oh no, I can't because it's a random. It's unreal to rank up as solo player and that was proved by some youtubers. This game is basically sofisticated slot machine, you are constantly pulling the trigger and hope they you will get decent teammates and legit enemies.
You should try finding a premade queue. The point of the video was to show you that there are more ways than one to approach the game. If solo queue is truly that insufferable (I agree btw it sucks) either change your mentality or just don’t play it because staying where you are currently nothing will change.
You can rank up with solo q but you need to get better.you said you was gold nova in csgo?well im pretty sure theres still a ton of room for improvement.You cant control your teammates but you can control your actions,so try to bait them if theyre really that useless for some important info or kills.you can also try using the “looking to play” thing to find teammates,but I noticed that in cs2 looking to play is filled with trash players,im talking from my experience
@@christian9208 yeah facts, a lot of people focus too much on the results instead of just playing and improving at their own rate and it saps a lot of enjoyment out of the game
Your comment just proves that it is about mindset lol. There are 4 randoms on your team, 5 on the enemy. If you are better than them you will rank up over time. You're making excuses because your goal is ranking up and you're not meeting it. When you change your mindset to one of seeking self improvement, you stop caring about wins and losses and ironically, that's when you start to climb again.
You have amazing potential on RUclips. I really do believe if you keep posting quality videos like this you will make it to 10k subs by the end of the year easily, keep it up.
But your loses DO build up over time whether its in the same game or taking l after l after l. If its in the same game your forced to eco and use shit thats hard to win with have no subtantial amount of money just scraping by the entire game or you cant even stay warmed up or get into a flow because you die first thing in the round and just start losing all your 1v1s then youre ultimatley just watching and never have the oppurtunity to perform with ideal equipment. Then on the ladder, why commit yourself to getting into that one game that makes you feel good when all its done to you recently is make you wanna rip your hair out. Shit that makes you accidentily break your headset just taking it off your so mad. Game after game after game you just sit at the bottom of the scoreboard and then what, your teammates instead of trying to help just talk mad shit on you more times than not. Counter strike needs to work on their community i think. Dont get me wrong ive been toxic too, most times i just stay quiet i dont have time to yap and read other people yapping idk man cs is great but it fucking sucks sometimes
Then you play a game with a hacker on your team and at first you dont really think hes cheating but you watch and no.. this fool is 100% cheating. Im spectating him lock onto their heads and making 100% accurate calls for the entire enemy team from spawn. Like ahhh i see now why i get my ass fucking KICKED sometimes
I once read a book called "Zen and the Art of ELO Maintenance" and that's when I realized the grind is actually the destination.
Do you mean Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance?
Here after I lost 4 in a row and some lose-win situations before them, I ghess the youtube algorithm works well😂
People like you are the reason why I keep playing in my 40s, in a way
the game wakes you up irl if you have the RIGHT relationship with it. Well said brother
im 40 seconds into the video and you literally just described my whole cs experience rn
this is genuinely good life advice as well lol
I was having very bad games recently, really needed to hear this. Really good quality content. Thanks

Keep making videos!
This is really great content - powerful message, impressive production and engaging narration (voice and style).
lmao
bro I like you perspective. This video is helpful of me and of course for a lot dude out there, thank man!
This was really good quality video, keep making these types I for sure will be watching;)

Thanks this help me a lot !

Oh I hear that Aphex Twin in the back niiiiiice 🔥
I’m not even in a slump, I watch the vid because i am genuinely enjoying the content you create! Keep it up :)
Really interesting video with something not many content creators talk about
awesome vid man

keep up with the content, great job

Everything I do I get countered by accident (like when I hold an angle for 5-35 seconds and then I pull a nade out or check another angle and they peek it and I die
Peekers advantage destroys me
FPS drops destroy me
But the worst thing is in warm up & dm im destroying people even though I spend most of the time not spraying and practicing my one taps so I don’t get into the habit to spray long range in a match and die, and then spend 10 mins or so spraying once I’ve got my aim sorted, and then I go into a game and get 8 kills its fuckin devastating 😂
banger of video

Ppl, get this person the recognition they deserve.
Sometimes I am the mvp with sick clutches and other times the bottom fragger
I. Am currently experiencing a time where I just had 110 adr losing 13-1. Trash matchmaking puts 46% win rate 900 game players on my team
I swear to god I started playing cs2 on mid range gaming laptop barely scraping 100fps only because my friends where playing it most times so I gave it a try and now I’m saving money to buy a pc and putting in a ton of hours 😭

I’m in a slump because every other game has a hacker on the enemy team
so people at higher elo than you just got lucky? stop coping bro not everyone is a cheater they’re just not bad at the game
damn...and here I thought it was because of the smurfs and hacks XD
Everyone= -200 elo in one night Me= -4.5k Elo in 2 days
Lose 200 elo? Imagine playing 3 matches against cheaters, losing 400+ from every single one of them.

Then don't play on B? Play on more important roles (for example on mirage it's mid player)

can you do a video with your settings?
Ye
Losing games doesn't mean you're slumping. Be aware of your own performance and know that unless you're in a 5 stack, you really can't control what your teammates are doing.
It's because nearly every elo has cheaters.
The thing you just said in this video is not about cs2 right?
Losing 200elo a night? Try 2000 a night rookie😆
he is talking about faceit, premier doesnt count if you’re talking competitively
The real reason: VAC = Valve Allows Cheats
If you ever played in global in csgo it was 10x worse than it is now
@@lret2070 you are wrong..this is the WORST it has EVER been
@@St0RM33 Statistics on that? or are you just getting your head tapped in your silver games and cant handle it LOL
