It's actually incredible. It's like these people are trying to make their kills have the least impact possible so they can say they top fragged but didn't really help their team at all.
I try to make sure I have the most impact with my kills as I can. I often times save my guns to be better off the next round and not stat pad with exits if there is a chance I die.I play for the team not for stats. Sometimes I top the scoreboard anyway but that is not the purpose of the game.
Problem is that all of this talk is a double edged sword. The trash players who have 0 impact tell themselves that they have kills so they must play well and the trash players who just cant aim for shit and die every round tell themselves that that one entry they got 6 rounds ago against a full eco was I M P A C T while it all comes back to the simple fact that trash players will always try their best to somehow explain to themselves how they arent trash.
Not entirely his fault, his teammate pushes long and says nothing, you know you can at least press your microfon key and say "guys i pushed long and there is no one here" or if you don't have a microfon then press "U" key and type "long clear"
@@thesenate8268 I said somewhere else all of the teammates were speaking a different language. So i muted them and tried to rely on my own gamesense (I realize I dont have any now lol)
in my submission I never really said that I was good, i was looking for my mistakes and expressing my concern with the fact my teammates arent as good as me (which if u see the pov on some of these players is semi true, i can link the whole game if you want). i knew i was gonna get roasted by voo and the comments but tbh thats alot better than not knowing what is wrong and how I can fix it
It's unreal, you die 5 times from getting shot by an angle your teammate was supposed to hold, and when you ask why that happens the response is "shut up noob you have 5 kills i have 20", yea good job, you got a cleanup and few exit frags on lost rounds, you still threw the free ones
I don't even play FACEIT, I just play prime MM and struggle with every game, I bottom frag almost 100 percent of the time. I have no idea what I am doing wrong
Honestly, I think he is just extremely paranoid of being pushed from everywhere. It looks like he checks every place that he could be pushed, despite sacrificing crucial positioning. He doesn't like to put himself in advantageous positions, rather, he wants to cover every part of the map he can. While his teammates were subpar in skill to him, it seems that they (not all) gained map control and held well. Luupy just never held his position which lost them a lot of rounds.
Carlos Limjoco technically, Fredrick the Second said that quote, and it’s also “He who defends everything defends nothing.” He has a few other great quotes also.
Thank you so much for letting me realize my mistakes, I will try harder on ct to improve my positioning, but I also did very good on my T side I was looking to see if I would improve that also edit: thanks everyone for the tips really does help edit again: improving already, most of the problems came from listening to music with the game volume low and not looking at my radar. I also bought faceit premium so calls shouldnt be an issue anymore edit again again: after playing 70 more games im in level 4 about to hit level 5, thanks everyone
Don't worry man. Your mechanics are decent! You need to learn rotations and realise that CS is often really boring, i.e. you sit on B and stare at the same spot for 45s. Don't run around to where you feel the action is. Try to be more aware of your radar. And if in doubt: Ask your teammates if you should rotate
I think you doing great if you're just starting. I think its better to learn how to aim and fight then learn the strats later on. No point in holding positions then you lose cuz you have no aim or you panic.
I always get a small amount of joy when someone starts flicking their knife around or hoping around for no reason and then gets their head taken off immediately.
While I think I’ve known most of what your videos talk about. They definitely help remind me to think about it during a game, to take a quick moment to think about what I’m doing, and that’s what’s been helping
Please don't forget to zoom your map out as far as it can. In settings go to radar and make sure you can see most of the map on the radar!!!!! This makes teamwork and rotations so much easier.
wait what? you still can't go out of silver with 1800 hours? I currently have 190hours(half of which I spent playing casual) and I'm silver 3 expecting to get gold nova soon.
Im a SE and DMG with about 400 hours and barely play comp, could you explain to me why buying a helm on ct os bad. Is it because ak can one tap with or without and makes it useless?
@@that1snowyguy251 exactly. Really no reason to buy helmet if you know the ts are gonna use aks. If you are having an extremely good lead and a load of cash then sure buying it might save you if they pull out their glocks
@@that1snowyguy251 You have money + a lead = buy helm If Ts won a lot of rounds (they have a good economy = they have aks and awps) and you can afford a full buy don't buy helm and buy a smoke or a kit instead
Been watching quite a few of your videos recently and OMG does it make everything click, hahaha. Explaining the game that way and that well, highlights not only positioning mistakes, bad rotates, but also more generally what's a good (and a bad) decision given a situation, and that helped us tremendously, thanks a lot! That, and managing to convince my team that if we all "have a life and can't spend time purely training" then at the very least 10 mins of warmup is less wasted time than 45m+ in a losing game, hahaha...
It's very hard to carry in CT anyways because even when you play rotation the other guys cannot hold the site for even a few seconds and doesn't even give info of footsteps, always have to retake and clutch to carry. That's why I think luupy was too overwhelmed to rotate easily and quickly - he knows other guys will die in seconds anyways
@@luupy_ I used to have the same problem lol. What works for me tho like what voo said is making sure 1 site is secure even if I have to retake the other. This makes the T side predictable on where they will go.
This is quite true, but I think there are some simple solutions. You can observe and adapt to your mates. Bait him. Let him bait you. Try to flash behind him when he is peeking if you are too far and can't play revenge. Adapt your position to him even tho the situation could be dumb at the first look. In low / mid elo, we can't say CS principles are always accurate and you have to play together and trust teammates (and yes, even if they act stupid). A dumb decision alone is dumb. 2/3 people making something dumb is a game plan :p Of course sometimes it is not enough and you just have to accept that you might lose this match. But it is never over (I have watched plenty of matches, including at a professionnal level, where a 14-1 goes to 14-16. Mental is key in any match !) and there is always room for self-improvement, before blaming teammates.
@Vee Plays yeah gotta work on sticking to sites and not getting bored as easily, definitely something that comes from a lack of just playing the game in general
I haven't played csgo in years but somehow one of your videos was recommended and after the first I've been bingeing... holy cow. Voo, if you still read comments on old videos, this is some seriously good content. While Warowl was helpful back in the day, this stuff is something else. Looks like I'm redownloading CSGO, because I'm so motivated to play after watching your content.
The guy on B who always leaves the site when he leaves is a classic situation. You ask your teammate can you rotate I can hold, he doesn't respond so you rotate and say him, ok i rotate you hold, when you rotate he comes with you as well. And, for radar, there should be an indicator popping on screen occasioanally saying, there's a thing here showing where your teammates are, have you noticed?
He thinks himself like a simple, and rotating everywhere for frags. In reality, he's just a nova tier player. Instead of buying shotgun, he could have throw some nades at B tunnel, atleast it would do some damage.
yooo why do you have to be so harsh and disrespectful? At least he got the balls to show his mistakes and tries to get better. Unlike you who just shittalks people when you are doing most mistakes yourself.
@@maximilianwonschik1304 not really, he literally said he is better then the other players and deserves to be a higher rank, which is definetely not true
You keep saying he lacks awareness, but he’s actually perfectly aware of how to get a bunch of frags in a game without having any significant impact at all. As soon as his teammate gets a kill somewhere he just rotates to that position, because there’s potential for kills there, completely ignoring the fact that he already has a teammate playing that position and that he’s leaving the position he was playing uncovered. There is nothing that screams typical low level FaceIt player, who unjustifiably feels like he’s too good for mm, more than that.
@@miguel151420 this is probably gold nova player, I know because 50% of time I get enemies like these and we destroy them because they fall apart when you don't just mindlessly rush
@@SandwichMitGurke then he's terrible. And he shouldn't play faceit. You should only go there when you're at the LE/LEM lvl, at least. Some would even say Supreme/global
Keep up the vids man, I can see this series doing really well for you down the road. Entertaining from the roast standpoint but also valuable tips being thrown out!
Everybody is hating on him pretty bad bud the fact that he submitted the clip shows me that hes trying to improve. I just think he shouldn't be getting so much hate that's all. Love the vids btw :D
I honestly feel this pain, the amount of times I have to ankor a site on a solo faceit just because every other Russian on my team thinks there s1mple and just goes for fraggs..
Totally get your point here. Just came back to cs:go and i see this happening to me as well sometimes, when i think the party is going on A long and i dont see a single enemy on B for 5 rounds and i'm rotating to A, just to find out that they have just planted on b lol
I enjoy these videos a lot! even if I‘m not really learning a lot personally. I think a big part of elo hell is the communication. You should include the ingame calls. If his team falsely called „all lonk!!!!“ you can‘t blame a player for a rotation which loses the round.
Voo i have a few demos that where good (not cherry picked) though some people on the enemy team were using derogatory terms (N word and F*g and such) am i able to submit these for demos still? If not imma play some games tn and join up on the patreon. Good video.
This guy probably has better aim than me, and I am level 10 on Faceit, so I think he can get out of Elo hell pretty easily if he starts to think when he is playing. The way he buys gives me PTSD flashbacks from matchmaking. Although I guess there are people in Faceit level 10 who buy and play with 0 logic too, their aim is just even better :P
luupy you were like me. All aim no brain type of player. I dm’ed and aim trained most of the time but caused me so many games. Now I’m 3k elo cause I don’t focus on my aim anymore but more on the possible plays in every scenario with the highest chance if success relative to my mechanical ability. You can pull off almost every play once u have good enough aim
luupy idk i got to immo from dia 2 in 1night of grinding cause i focused more on possible plays than out aiming people. I focused more on which position was best and the possibility of escape if i frag in that situation. I focus more on what is the msot impactful position that places my team in a better spot and allows the opponents to make more mistakes. Really big jump
Ok, to be fair, I can kind of understand this. I'm not saying I'm a good player or anything, I just play casually, but when I'm playing at my main rank, LE, players tend to be very communicative so I can focus on holding my side of the map and can trust the rest of the team to do the same. When playing with my friends at a slightly lower rank, I tend to start out playing the same but develop trust issues real quick. Either the teammates just can't hold or they are playing bad positions and I end up feeling that if we are going to have a chance then I need to have as much impact as possible and rotate around. Yes that means compromising how I would like to play and honestly it ends up looking something like this. Watching this I can't help feeling like he knows how he would like to play, but the team he is on prohibits him from doing so.
A small comment regarding helmet (or lack of it) at 2:53 . I play mostly Solo Q MM, and if I can afford it on CT, i am buying helmet because usually teams are not that well coordinated like actual teams (not minding their rank), so I reather risk 350 than have the (very) small chance of being HS with a non ak. It's more of a "dont fully trust the randoms" than an actual meta decision. PS: If I were to be playing on a tournament, of course I wouldnt buy that helmet unnecesarily.
The maiun problem is definitley not trusting teamates and fear of flanking. It's a big problem when playing with randoms or in low ranks because you can be doing your job perfectly, holding an angle and then someone comes up behind you and kills you because your teamates were not holding mid
I don't even play CS:GO and I found myself wondering "why the hell is he leaving B in this situation?" multiple times right before you went on to blast him for leaving B. XD
What I've learned from these videos and smurfing and/or playing in the actual ranks: Silver: Bad mechanics, bad aim, a lot of confusion. Will sometimes miss even if you are literally not moving. Rare blinks of right ideas in the general sense. Poor execution. Lots of memes. Gold nova: Thinking when taking aim duels, counter strafing takes effort. Will kill you if you are standing still like a bot. Some team coordination can be seen, but poor execution. Easy AWP shots missed are often. Easy sprays failed. POOR INFO - Lots of tunnel vision. Will call you a hacker if you can use the deagle. Master Guardians + LE : Sloppy mechanics and aim, but will punish most major mistakes in positioning, especially with the AWP. Team coordination differs greatly from team to team ranging from trying to refrag and failing, to reasonably timed refrags. Premades will flash for each others, but generally not randoms. Some basic smoke meta develops on both CT and T side. Some failed sprays and AWP shots, but not often. Some communication on kills/deaths. Less tunnel vision. LEM, Supreme and GE: Resonable mechanics and aim, especially in GE. You WILL be punished for positioning mistakes, not just with the AWP but most weapons. Chance to see a player fail more than 10 bullets in a spray becomes rare. CT side smokes are a given. Basic (T side) full-site smoke executes are seen with randoms. Advanced site takes with premades. People will generally refrag quickly and take map control in groups. Dry peeking into AWPs becomes hard. Info pushes/flanks can be spotted. Extremely rare tunnel vision. General sense of map awareness develops. Level 7~9 faceit EU: (1550~2000 elo) Lots of practice time needed to reach this level. Accurate mechanics and aim, even with deagle. General CS default meta knowledge on almost every player, unless brain-dead with god aim. Time to kill becomes very low. Advanced teamplay forming between randoms. 5 stacks team practices with advanced smoke setups but mediocre execution and/or aim, seen in this elo. Can fully understand general PRO CS meta, but problems in applying some aspects in pugs because of lack of skill and/or TILT. LOTS OF TILT. Dry peeking into AWPs is extremely hard even for pro players. Dry peeking into rifles still EASY for pros though. Posible to reach with crisp mechanics and general gamesense, but no need for deeper understanding of meta. Utility usage becomes paramount on CT side. On T side, players have a general understanding on countering CT side AWPS with utility and trades. Level 10 faceit EU PREMIUM(3 stack max): (2001-2500 elo) Can smurf in global. Ferarri peeked insta 1 tapped by deagle becomes normal. Advanced gamesense needed. Fast refrags become normal. Less team chaos even without calls. Everyone has a good idea of what a T side default is for all maps and will also manage economy without a second thought. Randoms call for flashes and pop flash each other. Randoms help each other make plays without verbal communication (based on visual info). Post plant positions are rarely chaotic. Most players can adapt playstyle to match enemy mid game. Level 10 faceit EU PREMIUM(3 stack max): (2501-3100 elo) Dedicated CS players. Aim becomes crisp, mechanics are well practiced. A lot of players can semi-IGL and have ideas on T side attack execution. Refrags, mechanics, economy, defaults come without thinking. Focus is on taking proper aim duels and winning them, forcing map control and countering enemy CT side setups. Level 10 faceit EU PREM... 3300+ ELO Extremely practiced players. Nearing semi-pro skill level in mechanics. Can destroy lower elo lobbys with pure mechanics.
nICE read thank you man! I'd say I'm currently Level 7-9 Faceit according to your description (I play on Gamers Club, similar system to Faceit from SA), perhaps one bellow, but I've been enjoying to play as I'm improving and almost never tilt. I've been struggling with my aim, it's somewhat common for me to be making the correct plays but to get punished because I miss a spray or an easy shot. My game sense is generally good (I'd say I compensate my 'bad' aim with it), I usually make the right rotations, my communication is good and my mentality is also. My grenade knowledge is good for pugs but definitely needs improvement. One mistake I make often is not timing things correctly in some situations --- I try to open bombsites too fast or retake too slowly (sometimes I know I have the advantage on a duel but I'm too anxious to take it and end up rushing it too much), but I've been comprehending better the timings of the game and am improving. One thing I've always struggled with is consistency, some games I'm destroying and some I'm very bad, and I don't know why. I'm not a fan of DMing too much because I feel I can use better the time by actually playing the game.
i have a video suggestion for something beginners(or better) struggle in. Show us where to plant on every bomb site when you have X amount of map control and where the absolute best plants spots are in general because people that don't know maps well will usually plant in a default spot when you can plant for a better spot for free
Dropped from nova 3 god knows how long ago, got dumped into s4 when I started playing again recently. I feel like one of the hardest things to deal with is the inconsistency of skill throughout silver.
can you make a video about how to improve your "C" game in term of Elige's word C games are the games that you don't feel like you can hit your shots, how would you deal with it
I couldn’t believe my eyes for what I just watched, especially as a B player on Dust II CT (the one that never left the bomb site unless necessary). At least my guy luppy knows he’s an Elo hell though
Voo even though on a normal level buying full body armor on CT might be a mistake, in elo hell you're very likely to run into people that play whatever guns they feel like so it's not always a bad choice.
These are the kinda players that I hate the most: the kind that makes stupid decisions. Rotate out of B when your teammate calls 1 long, pushing when you have a man advantage, peeking middle and die to the awper for the fifth time, taking fight when you know the T do not have enough time to plant the bomb, not swing out to get the obvious trade, etc.
One thing that I don't understand is that I'm considered a good player amongst good players. In faceit, I'm successful. In mm (which i don't play much) im silver 3 cut i always die to bad players. I just don't expect them to do what they do and then j spec my teammates looking at knees and just spraying with a p90 and I don't understand how to play mm
i think people saying they’re in elo hell, it would help if you had their teams voice comms, not saying it would make all this guys plays make sense, but it might say a lot about when randomly hear one person on A and call full a rush everyone rotate you get to A and ‘the bomb has been planted’
Ive been trying to work on my positioning on CT. i feel like i always get demolished when holding angles(standard and off, decent with awp tho) ive been noticing i get too worried about whats going on on the other side of the map. Any advice on focusing more on my position? Is it my lack of trust in most teammates? Lol
My luck is so bad in this game. Every round I hold b they dont come not even a single player, and when i hold A enemy decides to execute on b. Should i choose which site to main and stick with it or should i be a more well rounded and be able to play decently in both sites?
You should be able to play both but generally don't swap back and forth between sites unless you have a plan with it and communicate with your team to have someone pick up your spot. You are generally better off sticking to the site you called and changing up your spots on that site unless your team is getting absolutely battered on the other site round after round, ask if you can stack the site with them.
Hi voo, I was wondering if I could just submit my clip for analysis? I know there's no such thing as elo hell, but I'm thinking that my teammates are somewhat clueless and have no sense of support.
You should look into the way launders is doing his recent demo reviews, the way he does it offers true POV (kinda) view, it would make this series more interesting in my opinion.
I don't disagree with anything said here, but I have to give luupy a bit of credit in that I see where he's getting at. His aim is pretty good and honestly his teammates do look absolutely terrible (look at broken bros at 8:22. He has no idea what's happening). From his perspective, I can see why he'd think his teammates are holding him back. It's hard to think on this macro level when you're in game (and probably not reviewing your demos from this lens). Once he figures out how to play with/around his team, he'll be flying
I've been watching a lot of these videos but in still struggling with one thing, I find my aim is quite consistent. As long as I've warmed up my aim usually pretty crisp. But I find my self still playing really inconsistent. I go from being a 10 frag bot one game to the hard carry of the game, going upwards of 25 and 30 next. Was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to be consistent if aim isnt the issue? Edit: Just for a little context I'm currently mid rank 8, peaked on rank 9 for a few days before dropping back down.
I'd say try and find out which kinds of games you play bad, if there's a specif type of enemy team that you're not able to perform as well against I have an issue when the enemy team plays too slow and/or ultra passive for example, these are the games I know I have to concentrate a lot more to have a real positive impact
Biggest thing for low ranks to realaise, is to stop hunting kills and care so much about the score board. For instance when ur team mate gets a kill on long and witihin second the whole team is there go get more kills. Drop that mentality and u will be able to perform better in ur games.
Wonder what Luupy thought of this video lmao - some ...amazing stuff. Decent aim, peanut brain - 0 impact kills and most likely accuses teammates about not ranking up.
Brutal feedback, but hopefully it helps him. We’ve all been there and were all still learning in many ways everyday to become a better player. We’re all learning, just a matter of what.
Bad positioning works in higher ranks because people dont expect it BUT since your probably faceit level 6-7 and mg-dmg you will probably get out aimed
How to get out of the Elo hell? I think I have decent game sense. What I don't know is how to throw nice flashes and smokes. On FaceIt and normal matchmaking I most of the time get teammates who are fully unaware of their surroundings and refuse to speak English or speak at all.
I would like to say, faceit elo hell is from these ppl. No matter how good you are, when you get 4 teammates like this, every single round, you will never get higher level. But, it is only for level 1 to level 3... which is the hardest elo ever. The first time I got level4, then just need 2 days, I got to level6. Then I solo queue with 4 trollers, 10 rounds in a row, and dropped to level 2.... and never get back..
blows my mind this luupy dude is given constructive criticism yet still wants to defend himself. like how can you crave constructive criticism yet still want to convince people of why you did something wrong. there are so many great lessons to be taken away from this situation. not just for the player at hand but the audience as well. i love situations such as these. these moments remind me of the importance of dropping both my ego and pride for the sake of learning. you don't learn quickly let alone at all if you're constantly putting your pride on a pedestal.
Man don’t get me started on B players leaving their site or playing from outside of B. Every other dust2 game I’m asking why no one is in B or have to run their myself because the map Gaga’s gone quiet and B player is god knows where.
I think he bought the SWAG-7 cuz it's a cheap gun and can wreak havoc on B at close range and gives you like 600 bucks or sth for kills, high kill reward. If I have like 3500+ or more money and my team is saving and they have 1.5-2.8k, I sometimes buy an SMG/Shotgun or an upgrade pistol. And the Swag-7 would sort of suck on A, at least for long and the site. Anyway just a couple things I thought of, but I understand the criticism and video perfectly fine.
Im not a very good player (MG 1.5k Hours) but i gotta say: Holy shit dude. I mean my demos 0robably doesnt look better but this feels like Nova 1. Thanks for your amazing videos. I have one question: Did you already do a Video about how to Hold A on Dust and if not, can you pls do one?

I forgot to say this at the start, Luupy is Faceit Level 1.
I just look and wonder how is there a faceit level 1
On side note everyone feel they play good while playing, the best way to improve imo is watch some pro matches on gotv and watching own matches

It shows.
I love how you critique the players 😂😂!! Thanks for posting this video this actually does help me on gamesense and knowing map timings
It's actually incredible. It's like these people are trying to make their kills have the least impact possible so they can say they top fragged but didn't really help their team at all.
Happens when you play too much dm with very little mm experience
welcome to faceit level 1-8
true. that's what you call delusionism
I try to make sure I have the most impact with my kills as I can. I often times save my guns to be better off the next round and not stat pad with exits if there is a chance I die.I play for the team not for stats. Sometimes I top the scoreboard anyway but that is not the purpose of the game.
Problem is that all of this talk is a double edged sword. The trash players who have 0 impact tell themselves that they have kills so they must play well and the trash players who just cant aim for shit and die every round tell themselves that that one entry they got 6 rounds ago against a full eco was I M P A C T while it all comes back to the simple fact that trash players will always try their best to somehow explain to themselves how they arent trash.

Probably no better than most of the ELO hell people, but I just want to say that this series is hilarious.
This is one of the worst ELO hell players, second only to that guy that went opposite of his team and topfragged with meaningless kills

Don't worry man. Your mechanics are decent! You need to learn rotations and realise that CS is often really boring, i.e. you sit on B and stare at the same spot for 45s. Don't run around to where you feel the action is. Try to be more aware of your radar. And if in doubt: Ask your teammates if you should rotate
I think you doing great if you're just starting. I think its better to learn how to aim and fight then learn the strats later on. No point in holding positions then you lose cuz you have no aim or you panic.
Kudos for you to take the criticism. I know that if I submit mine I'll be grilled into oblivion, we learn from people like you.
I always get a small amount of joy when someone starts flicking their knife around or hoping around for no reason and then gets their head taken off immediately.
His aim is good for his level he needs to work on the brain now
lol
His aim is hella good, better than mine. Knowing Dust II, had there been 3 of him he would've won even with dumb mistakes
Dude that's actually a good roast
Wouldn't call his aim good
That was a brutal backhanded compliment
WarOwl, what a move he played!
I ship it.
what u mean?
meetasheep WarOwl is his ex
@@Armenbrine WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT? i am a little bit shocked
@@Armenbrine Wait...didnt he say it's his Father's wallet? So Warowl is his father's ex?
ill dry peek an Awper from mid with little to no utility support from my teammates
what could possibily go wrong?
ofc they are worse than me or else cheating, I can't be bad
to be fair, he did dink the enemy
well in low level plays you can actually catch one guy off guard in mid,
go close to the mid doors, wait 4 seconds and dry peek him,
surprise!
He is cheating cuz he doesn't miss!
i can just feel the physical pain voo is feeling looking at these rotations
While I think I’ve known most of what your videos talk about. They definitely help remind me to think about it during a game, to take a quick moment to think about what I’m doing, and that’s what’s been helping
Please don't forget to zoom your map out as far as it can. In settings go to radar and make sure you can see most of the map on the radar!!!!! This makes teamwork and rotations so much easier.
how to not get bullied for 1800 hours in silver
hey thats me
wait what? you still can't go out of silver with 1800 hours?
I currently have 190hours(half of which I spent playing casual) and I'm silver 3 expecting to get gold nova soon.
@@ChessCat1500 i have 800 hours and im silver elite. its just how it is sometimes
I'm over 2k hours and still can't keep global all the time, going back to supreme some times :(
Maybe you should try playing fortnite instead.
Him buying helmet every round on ct pretty much sums up his game sense
Im a SE and DMG with about 400 hours and barely play comp, could you explain to me why buying a helm on ct os bad. Is it because ak can one tap with or without and makes it useless?
@@that1snowyguy251 exactly. Really no reason to buy helmet if you know the ts are gonna use aks. If you are having an extremely good lead and a load of cash then sure buying it might save you if they pull out their glocks
@@that1snowyguy251 You have money + a lead = buy helm
If Ts won a lot of rounds (they have a good economy = they have aks and awps) and you can afford a full buy don't buy helm and buy a smoke or a kit instead
Been watching quite a few of your videos recently and OMG does it make everything click, hahaha. Explaining the game that way and that well, highlights not only positioning mistakes, bad rotates, but also more generally what's a good (and a bad) decision given a situation, and that helped us tremendously, thanks a lot! That, and managing to convince my team that if we all "have a life and can't spend time purely training" then at the very least 10 mins of warmup is less wasted time than 45m+ in a losing game, hahaha...
It's very hard to carry in CT anyways because even when you play rotation the other guys cannot hold the site for even a few seconds and doesn't even give info of footsteps, always have to retake and clutch to carry. That's why I think luupy was too overwhelmed to rotate easily and quickly - he knows other guys will die in seconds anyways
very much so, also because im a way better t player (the game hes reviewing I got 35 kills in) and the t side sort of affects my ct side
@@luupy_ I used to have the same problem lol. What works for me tho like what voo said is making sure 1 site is secure even if I have to retake the other. This makes the T side predictable on where they will go.
This is quite true, but I think there are some simple solutions. You can observe and adapt to your mates. Bait him. Let him bait you. Try to flash behind him when he is peeking if you are too far and can't play revenge. Adapt your position to him even tho the situation could be dumb at the first look. In low / mid elo, we can't say CS principles are always accurate and you have to play together and trust teammates (and yes, even if they act stupid).
A dumb decision alone is dumb. 2/3 people making something dumb is a game plan :p
Of course sometimes it is not enough and you just have to accept that you might lose this match. But it is never over (I have watched plenty of matches, including at a professionnal level, where a 14-1 goes to 14-16. Mental is key in any match !) and there is always room for self-improvement, before blaming teammates.
luupy man listen to him you suck. Your gamesense is silver lvl
@Vee Plays yeah gotta work on sticking to sites and not getting bored as easily, definitely something that comes from a lack of just playing the game in general
I haven't played csgo in years but somehow one of your videos was recommended and after the first I've been bingeing... holy cow. Voo, if you still read comments on old videos, this is some seriously good content. While Warowl was helpful back in the day, this stuff is something else. Looks like I'm redownloading CSGO, because I'm so motivated to play after watching your content.
The guy on B who always leaves the site when he leaves is a classic situation. You ask your teammate can you rotate I can hold, he doesn't respond so you rotate and say him, ok i rotate you hold, when you rotate he comes with you as well.
And, for radar, there should be an indicator popping on screen occasioanally saying, there's a thing here showing where your teammates are, have you noticed?
He thinks himself like a simple, and rotating everywhere for frags. In reality, he's just a nova tier player.
Instead of buying shotgun, he could have throw some nades at B tunnel, atleast it would do some damage.
yooo why do you have to be so harsh and disrespectful? At least he got the balls to show his mistakes and tries to get better. Unlike you who just shittalks people when you are doing most mistakes yourself.
@@maximilianwonschik1304 He's not being disrespectful? Mans just speaking the truth.
@@maximilianwonschik1304 not really, he literally said he is better then the other players and deserves to be a higher rank, which is definetely not true
@@maximilianwonschik1304 shut up dog
1:53 that's actually good tip. i think that has been one mistake i have been making too often :)
it is annoying when the team can't hold a
You keep saying he lacks awareness, but he’s actually perfectly aware of how to get a bunch of frags in a game without having any significant impact at all.
As soon as his teammate gets a kill somewhere he just rotates to that position, because there’s potential for kills there, completely ignoring the fact that he already has a teammate playing that position and that he’s leaving the position he was playing uncovered. There is nothing that screams typical low level FaceIt player, who unjustifiably feels like he’s too good for mm, more than that.
You are a criminally underrated channel. Your videos have taken my skill level from 1-100. Thank you so much for your videos man ❤️
Thanks to your videos I went from bottom frag and being kicked, to bottom frag where no one is unreasonably mad at me
wth is this? This is lvl 3 kind of play. Who even does that? How can you just leave the bombsite wide open? Everyone in like MG1+ knows this.
this is faceit level 1 lol
this isn't even lvl 3. It's mg1 at best guys going to faceit because "mm is broken". They can't play. At all
@@miguel151420 this is probably gold nova player, I know because 50% of time I get enemies like these and we destroy them because they fall apart when you don't just mindlessly rush
fica games11 he is mg2
@@SandwichMitGurke then he's terrible. And he shouldn't play faceit. You should only go there when you're at the LE/LEM lvl, at least. Some would even say Supreme/global
I’ve never been so frustrated while watching a video..
Keep up the vids man, I can see this series doing really well for you down the road. Entertaining from the roast standpoint but also valuable tips being thrown out!
This guy's videos are kind of crazy good, what a blessing.
"its like im watching a track and field event"
Everybody is hating on him pretty bad bud the fact that he submitted the clip shows me that hes trying to improve. I just think he shouldn't be getting so much hate that's all. Love the vids btw :D
yo your videos actually helped me alot as a silver ive been winning more games and clutching more rounds
his videos help even when you're global imo
aiko true true
Even if you're a pro
I honestly feel this pain, the amount of times I have to ankor a site on a solo faceit just because every other Russian on my team thinks there s1mple and just goes for fraggs..
i love how the sass is boiling over, voo
Taking a shot every time he says "B!"
Can I come to your funeral?
the rapid fire at the end should be the whole series tbh. that is gold.
Totally get your point here. Just came back to cs:go and i see this happening to me as well sometimes, when i think the party is going on A long and i dont see a single enemy on B for 5 rounds and i'm rotating to A, just to find out that they have just planted on b lol
I enjoy these videos a lot! even if I‘m not really learning a lot personally. I think a big part of elo hell is the communication. You should include the ingame calls. If his team falsely called „all lonk!!!!“ you can‘t blame a player for a rotation which loses the round.
Voo i have a few demos that where good (not cherry picked) though some people on the enemy team were using derogatory terms (N word and F*g and such) am i able to submit these for demos still? If not imma play some games tn and join up on the patreon. Good video.
This guy probably has better aim than me, and I am level 10 on Faceit, so I think he can get out of Elo hell pretty easily if he starts to think when he is playing. The way he buys gives me PTSD flashbacks from matchmaking. Although I guess there are people in Faceit level 10 who buy and play with 0 logic too, their aim is just even better :P
thanks bro, i really just need more experience and practice on ct. but I appreciate you complimenting my aim compared to lv 10
luupy you were like me. All aim no brain type of player. I dm’ed and aim trained most of the time but caused me so many games. Now I’m 3k elo cause I don’t focus on my aim anymore but more on the possible plays in every scenario with the highest chance if success relative to my mechanical ability. You can pull off almost every play once u have good enough aim
@@diealeisterlive how long was it to adjust to using ur brain instead of ur aim when you play?
luupy idk i got to immo from dia 2 in 1night of grinding cause i focused more on possible plays than out aiming people. I focused more on which position was best and the possibility of escape if i frag in that situation. I focus more on what is the msot impactful position that places my team in a better spot and allows the opponents to make more mistakes. Really big jump
@@diealeisterlive thanks for that, this will help a lot I presume
Ok, to be fair, I can kind of understand this. I'm not saying I'm a good player or anything, I just play casually, but when I'm playing at my main rank, LE, players tend to be very communicative so I can focus on holding my side of the map and can trust the rest of the team to do the same. When playing with my friends at a slightly lower rank, I tend to start out playing the same but develop trust issues real quick. Either the teammates just can't hold or they are playing bad positions and I end up feeling that if we are going to have a chance then I need to have as much impact as possible and rotate around. Yes that means compromising how I would like to play and honestly it ends up looking something like this. Watching this I can't help feeling like he knows how he would like to play, but the team he is on prohibits him from doing so.
A small comment regarding helmet (or lack of it) at 2:53 . I play mostly Solo Q MM, and if I can afford it on CT, i am buying helmet because usually teams are not that well coordinated like actual teams (not minding their rank), so I reather risk 350 than have the (very) small chance of being HS with a non ak. It's more of a "dont fully trust the randoms" than an actual meta decision.
PS: If I were to be playing on a tournament, of course I wouldnt buy that helmet unnecesarily.
this man positioning really gave me a headache from watching him play
The maiun problem is definitley not trusting teamates and fear of flanking. It's a big problem when playing with randoms or in low ranks because you can be doing your job perfectly, holding an angle and then someone comes up behind you and kills you because your teamates were not holding mid
How to gain ur teammates trust: instantly flashbang everyone at beginning of round
I don't even play CS:GO and I found myself wondering "why the hell is he leaving B in this situation?" multiple times right before you went on to blast him for leaving B. XD
This is now my favorite csgo video series. Thanks voo! More more more more.
What I've learned from these videos and smurfing and/or playing in the actual ranks:
Silver:
Bad mechanics, bad aim, a lot of confusion. Will sometimes miss even if you are literally not moving. Rare blinks of right ideas in the general sense. Poor execution. Lots of memes.
Gold nova:
Thinking when taking aim duels, counter strafing takes effort. Will kill you if you are standing still like a bot. Some team coordination can be seen, but poor execution. Easy AWP shots missed are often. Easy sprays failed. POOR INFO - Lots of tunnel vision. Will call you a hacker if you can use the deagle.
Master Guardians + LE :
Sloppy mechanics and aim, but will punish most major mistakes in positioning, especially with the AWP. Team coordination differs greatly from team to team ranging from trying to refrag and failing, to reasonably timed refrags. Premades will flash for each others, but generally not randoms. Some basic smoke meta develops on both CT and T side. Some failed sprays and AWP shots, but not often. Some communication on kills/deaths. Less tunnel vision.
LEM, Supreme and GE:
Resonable mechanics and aim, especially in GE. You WILL be punished for positioning mistakes, not just with the AWP but most weapons. Chance to see a player fail more than 10 bullets in a spray becomes rare. CT side smokes are a given. Basic (T side) full-site smoke executes are seen with randoms. Advanced site takes with premades. People will generally refrag quickly and take map control in groups. Dry peeking into AWPs becomes hard. Info pushes/flanks can be spotted. Extremely rare tunnel vision. General sense of map awareness develops.
Level 7~9 faceit EU: (1550~2000 elo)
Lots of practice time needed to reach this level. Accurate mechanics and aim, even with deagle. General CS default meta knowledge on almost every player, unless brain-dead with god aim. Time to kill becomes very low. Advanced teamplay forming between randoms. 5 stacks team practices with advanced smoke setups but mediocre execution and/or aim, seen in this elo. Can fully understand general PRO CS meta, but problems in applying some aspects in pugs because of lack of skill and/or TILT. LOTS OF TILT. Dry peeking into AWPs is extremely hard even for pro players. Dry peeking into rifles still EASY for pros though. Posible to reach with crisp mechanics and general gamesense, but no need for deeper understanding of meta. Utility usage becomes paramount on CT side. On T side, players have a general understanding on countering CT side AWPS with utility and trades.
Level 10 faceit EU PREMIUM(3 stack max): (2001-2500 elo)
Can smurf in global. Ferarri peeked insta 1 tapped by deagle becomes normal. Advanced gamesense needed. Fast refrags become normal. Less team chaos even without calls. Everyone has a good idea of what a T side default is for all maps and will also manage economy without a second thought. Randoms call for flashes and pop flash each other. Randoms help each other make plays without verbal communication (based on visual info). Post plant positions are rarely chaotic. Most players can adapt playstyle to match enemy mid game.
Level 10 faceit EU PREMIUM(3 stack max): (2501-3100 elo)
Dedicated CS players. Aim becomes crisp, mechanics are well practiced. A lot of players can semi-IGL and have ideas on T side attack execution. Refrags, mechanics, economy, defaults come without thinking. Focus is on taking proper aim duels and winning them, forcing map control and countering enemy CT side setups.
Level 10 faceit EU PREM... 3300+ ELO
Extremely practiced players. Nearing semi-pro skill level in mechanics. Can destroy lower elo lobbys with pure mechanics.
nICE read thank you man! I'd say I'm currently Level 7-9 Faceit according to your description (I play on Gamers Club, similar system to Faceit from SA), perhaps one bellow, but I've been enjoying to play as I'm improving and almost never tilt. I've been struggling with my aim, it's somewhat common for me to be making the correct plays but to get punished because I miss a spray or an easy shot. My game sense is generally good (I'd say I compensate my 'bad' aim with it), I usually make the right rotations, my communication is good and my mentality is also. My grenade knowledge is good for pugs but definitely needs improvement. One mistake I make often is not timing things correctly in some situations --- I try to open bombsites too fast or retake too slowly (sometimes I know I have the advantage on a duel but I'm too anxious to take it and end up rushing it too much), but I've been comprehending better the timings of the game and am improving. One thing I've always struggled with is consistency, some games I'm destroying and some I'm very bad, and I don't know why. I'm not a fan of DMing too much because I feel I can use better the time by actually playing the game.
This was much better than the last time. Serious roast without cringy forced jokes
The gameplay was cringe inducing enough he didn't wanna overload all of us.
@@TimWetherspoon hahahha
i have a video suggestion for something beginners(or better) struggle in. Show us where to plant on every bomb site when you have X amount of map control and where the absolute best plants spots are in general because people that don't know maps well will usually plant in a default spot when you can plant for a better spot for free
Dropped from nova 3 god knows how long ago, got dumped into s4 when I started playing again recently. I feel like one of the hardest things to deal with is the inconsistency of skill throughout silver.
can you make a video about how to improve your "C" game in term of Elige's word C games are the games that you don't feel like you can hit your shots, how would you deal with it
Relax play support
9:58 😂
10:54 Voo's Frustration is so funny
I have a question... if you play on bombmaps like dust as ct... is it important to play all time the same spot or doesent matter?
Love the elo hell videos, keep it up
I couldn’t believe my eyes for what I just watched, especially as a B player on Dust II CT (the one that never left the bomb site unless necessary). At least my guy luppy knows he’s an Elo hell though
Voo even though on a normal level buying full body armor on CT might be a mistake, in elo hell you're very likely to run into people that play whatever guns they feel like so it's not always a bad choice.
Is a demo review only 1 game or multiple?
These are the kinda players that I hate the most: the kind that makes stupid decisions. Rotate out of B when your teammate calls 1 long, pushing when you have a man advantage, peeking middle and die to the awper for the fifth time, taking fight when you know the T do not have enough time to plant the bomb, not swing out to get the obvious trade, etc.
One thing that I don't understand is that I'm considered a good player amongst good players. In faceit, I'm successful. In mm (which i don't play much) im silver 3 cut i always die to bad players. I just don't expect them to do what they do and then j spec my teammates looking at knees and just spraying with a p90 and I don't understand how to play mm
I used to be a crappy silver, now I’m on a 10+ win streak and still haven’t ranked up
TRUE win 10 dont rank, lose 1-2 and lose all the elo you gained from winning 10 and winstreak is reset
i think people saying they’re in elo hell, it would help if you had their teams voice comms, not saying it would make all this guys plays make sense, but it might say a lot about when randomly hear one person on A and call full a rush everyone rotate you get to A and ‘the bomb has been planted’
Ive been trying to work on my positioning on CT. i feel like i always get demolished when holding angles(standard and off, decent with awp tho) ive been noticing i get too worried about whats going on on the other side of the map. Any advice on focusing more on my position? Is it my lack of trust in most teammates? Lol
if bomb hasn't been spotted then don't rotate. If bomb is mid, don't rotate. If bomb is on the opposite site, rotate!
Not sure i like the way you want the game to be played, but you are entertaining to listen too :)
I thought this was an actual player for FURIA eSports.
My luck is so bad in this game. Every round I hold b they dont come not even a single player, and when i hold A enemy decides to execute on b.
Should i choose which site to main and stick with it or should i be a more well rounded and be able to play decently in both sites?
You should be able to play both but generally don't swap back and forth between sites unless you have a plan with it and communicate with your team to have someone pick up your spot. You are generally better off sticking to the site you called and changing up your spots on that site unless your team is getting absolutely battered on the other site round after round, ask if you can stack the site with them.
@@mennahj thanks
Bro thank u so much,your tutorial videos help me a lot,also:begginer,intermediate,advanced,pro vidos :D
Hahah this made me laugh so hard. Cant imagine what you would say about my footage lmao xD
Hi voo, I was wondering if I could just submit my clip for analysis? I know there's no such thing as elo hell, but I'm thinking that my teammates are somewhat clueless and have no sense of support.
so funny man , its your best work yet
I lost it about as bad as you did in the last 2 minutes😂😂😂 here is your sub
Good example of someone being a better mechanical aimer than everyone else in their rank but also being braindead in awareness as well
I love you Voo. I learned so much
Yesterday I had a match where my friend and I ( silver 2-4) played against a 4 player team of guardians. I mean how does that even happen?
You should look into the way launders is doing his recent demo reviews, the way he does it offers true POV (kinda) view, it would make this series more interesting in my opinion.
I don't disagree with anything said here, but I have to give luupy a bit of credit in that I see where he's getting at. His aim is pretty good and honestly his teammates do look absolutely terrible (look at broken bros at 8:22. He has no idea what's happening). From his perspective, I can see why he'd think his teammates are holding him back. It's hard to think on this macro level when you're in game (and probably not reviewing your demos from this lens). Once he figures out how to play with/around his team, he'll be flying
Nice pic of the WarOwl there!
I've been watching a lot of these videos but in still struggling with one thing, I find my aim is quite consistent. As long as I've warmed up my aim usually pretty crisp. But I find my self still playing really inconsistent. I go from being a 10 frag bot one game to the hard carry of the game, going upwards of 25 and 30 next. Was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to be consistent if aim isnt the issue?
Edit: Just for a little context I'm currently mid rank 8, peaked on rank 9 for a few days before dropping back down.
I'd say try and find out which kinds of games you play bad, if there's a specif type of enemy team that you're not able to perform as well against
I have an issue when the enemy team plays too slow and/or ultra passive for example, these are the games I know I have to concentrate a lot more to have a real positive impact
This is absolutely one of Voo’s funniest videos 🤣
A *is fine
Long *is fine
Mid *looks clear
Luupi on B *leaves and goes CT
Luupi on CT *sees smokes and mollies on B
Luupi *surprised Pikachu face
At which cs level are you considered "decent" ?
Biggest thing for low ranks to realaise, is to stop hunting kills and care so much about the score board. For instance when ur team mate gets a kill on long and witihin second the whole team is there go get more kills. Drop that mentality and u will be able to perform better in ur games.
Wonder what Luupy thought of this video lmao - some ...amazing stuff.
Decent aim, peanut brain - 0 impact kills and most likely accuses teammates about not ranking up.
So the first round shown in the video, he bought a shotgun, armor, and a deagle?
This doesn’t look like midget boxing.....
Brutal feedback, but hopefully it helps him. We’ve all been there and were all still learning in many ways everyday to become a better player. We’re all learning, just a matter of what.
Serious question voo tho? What kinda geh money is that? You live in wakanda?
he lives in canada dumb dumb
just realized it was joke dumb dumb
Bad positioning works in higher ranks because people dont expect it BUT since your probably faceit level 6-7 and mg-dmg you will probably get out aimed
How to get out of the Elo hell? I think I have decent game sense. What I don't know is how to throw nice flashes and smokes. On FaceIt and normal matchmaking I most of the time get teammates who are fully unaware of their surroundings and refuse to speak English or speak at all.
laughed my ass off watching this in 1.5x hahahahahaha. the end is just perfect.
I would like to say, faceit elo hell is from these ppl. No matter how good you are, when you get 4 teammates like this, every single round, you will never get higher level.
But, it is only for level 1 to level 3... which is the hardest elo ever.
The first time I got level4, then just need 2 days, I got to level6. Then I solo queue with 4 trollers, 10 rounds in a row, and dropped to level 2.... and never get back..
13:18 - 14:40 i love this man
blows my mind this luupy dude is given constructive criticism yet still wants to defend himself. like how can you crave constructive criticism yet still want to convince people of why you did something wrong. there are so many great lessons to be taken away from this situation. not just for the player at hand but the audience as well. i love situations such as these. these moments remind me of the importance of dropping both my ego and pride for the sake of learning. you don't learn quickly let alone at all if you're constantly putting your pride on a pedestal.
Man don’t get me started on B players leaving their site or playing from outside of B. Every other dust2 game I’m asking why no one is in B or have to run their myself because the map Gaga’s gone quiet and B player is god knows where.
I realy love your videos, you inspire me to make my own content, one love. ❤️❤️❤️
I think he bought the SWAG-7 cuz it's a cheap gun and can wreak havoc on B at close range and gives you like 600 bucks or sth for kills, high kill reward. If I have like 3500+ or more money and my team is saving and they have 1.5-2.8k, I sometimes buy an SMG/Shotgun or an upgrade pistol. And the Swag-7 would sort of suck on A, at least for long and the site. Anyway just a couple things I thought of, but I understand the criticism and video perfectly fine.
Im not a very good player (MG 1.5k Hours) but i gotta say: Holy shit dude. I mean my demos 0robably doesnt look better but this feels like Nova 1. Thanks for your amazing videos.
I have one question: Did you already do a Video about how to Hold A on Dust and if not, can you pls do one?
wooah what happened? so many subs all of a sudden and a sponsor? wow!!
