Hi Rob, great video. So if understood for the aming part I should focus on crosshair, and use the peripheral vision and unfocus for seeing the other information. I'm correct?
I can't fucking stand it, i'm taking a corner and waiting for someone like 30 seconds, and then i take a look at the map for one second and then they come in and just one shot head me...
Remous this Is why you will one day get in an accident by forgetting to check a blind spot or something. Muscle memory is good but knowing when to replace it with pure focus in both driving and games is importang
NOTES - Your screen when playing FPS games is similar to your view when driving a car. -- What's on the road in front of you is important but there are plenty of places you need to take information such as your mirrors, blind spots, traffic lights, pedestrians, etc. - The road is your crosshair and your minimap, ammo, health, and other information is everything else. You have to bounce between things depending on the situation - Your eyes can hyper-focus on a specific point to the extent that you could even see the antennas of an ant. This is useful when you need to focus on a small target - Your eyes can also widen their focus onto a broader area but isn't as focused as the hyper-focused mode. But, you get to see everything at an acceptable amount of focus. Useful for taking in multiple points of info.
regarding to the 4th point. our eyes as humans are so hyperfocused on things we see in front of us, we dont even see our nose anymore. even tho we can always see our nose, if u really look
YaNopeBaotHere You could get good at it though. Peripheral vision training can bring focus away from the center and more on the peripherals and so things that happen on the sides you notice easier, faster, and it makes the game easier to win.

I find that focusing on the enemy actually helps me more. I tried using a dark bluish crosshair that was kind of difficult to see over the background, but it actually helped my shots because I focused more on the enemy head and I subconsciously aimed at them.
That just means you have really good hand eye coordination. Some people, like myself, will focus on an enemy and because we are so focused on the target we think we are shooting at them, when in reality the dot/crosshair is actually slightly off.
@@GrogedUp yeah bro there’s no in between 😭playing apex zooted can make you a God or a complete bit. And most of the time for me it makes me a bot😂😂I’m too busy trying to understand the physics in the game. People out here flying and shit😂
a while back when i started to get good aim i started to look at the enemy and track their movements but after a while i hit a wall where my issue wasn't replicating the enemies movement, but replicating the enemies movement on the actual enemy. i found looking at my crosshair + good crosshair placement helped a lot more
I’m playing on my first team in open with the some players with experience in higher leagues, currently 2-0 and I’ve been trying to up my game. I have the aim part down and u have been helping tremendously in further developing the game sense side of my game. Thank you for the great insight
To put it simply, focus on the enemy heads but be aware where is your crosshair placed at the same time because our brain tends to react on what and where focus and see like how you flinch when you thought you are about to get hit by someone or something. Because solely focused on your crosshair alone would lead to you being shocked or unprepared when an enemy suddenly pops up or even of you react accordingly you would be aiming on the enemy's body instead of their heads resulting to higher potential of losing a lot of gunfights.
I've heard from Noted (a retired R6 pro that's obsessed with improving) that if you develop a really good peripheral vision you can focus on the crosshair and still be able to track things around it, but it requires a lot of practice with those annoying GIF images with a crosshair and some blinking circles around it.
Surely the information of this video is correct and I assume the explanations are well-thought through. However, I really struggled to get the point of the speaker's analogies. I think I opened this video with a different question in mind: "Focus your eyes on the enemy and put your crosshair over him OR focus your eyes on your crosshair and stop once the centre of the screen aligns with the target". My question wasn't quite answered by the video, which isn't a big issue. However, this video offered quite a lot of analogies without a clear cut what the conclusion is.
to be honest the muscle memory does it all and you dont really go on aligning the crosshair across the map or your enemy unless you r holding anlges and doing long range stuff
From my experience you should focus on your crosshair, if your cross placement is correct. Only time I focus on finding enemies first and then aligning my cross to them is when I entry frag site where I am actively looking on 4-5 different spots.
This is something really hard to identify in your own game-play and takes the acknowledgement that maybe you are making a mistake and the game isnt just unfair. I only picked my poor eye focus in gaming very recently. Haven't dropped the bad tendency yet but its getting better.
Funny enough, your right eye is exactly on the centre of my screen. I kept focusing on the light reflecting off it, and when you moved your head for half a second it threw me off. You were here to teach me how to focus, and you left me knowing how to make eye contact in a conversation!! Thank you :P
I never focus on my crosshair, always focus on my enemies. I'm an okay aimer but I will try to focus on my crosshair more to see if I'll improve. Thanks for sharing this information.
I think what ur doing is fine. But at a certain point it becomes fractioned. Like i mainly focus on my enemy up until im aligned with them. At that point it becomes like 80% enemy to make sure im on target, and 20% crosshair to make sure im within where im wanting to hit them As for improving i like to use aim400kg.com I zoom in to make it as big as possible and just use it to practice a bit and warm up
Wow! This video and your other videos are crammed full of great information, hope these videos become known and I'm really glad I found you on r/globaloffensive.

CAL-Admins were so bias against you on forums, never ever deserved that ban. Hope your doing well.
I actually made a test myself on this and then i got this in my recommendation feed. I got to the conclusion that i need to focus more on the enemy that my crosshair. But normally i don't think about this in matches. Aiming just happens it's not something calculated
After playing for a couple of hours I strat tilting and losing my ability to aim I think I burn my self out but I am not mentally or physically fatigued It's just that my aim starts sucking quite a lot even if I was owning before Why does this happen ? Would love to see a video about this topic or something similar to this Love ur content and good luck with the channel
Play less. I’ve played cs for 20 years and at the highest levels now I just play for fun maybe once or twice a week but the only games I play are league matches and I actually try and “get up” for those kinda games. If I play a match make or pug I don’t try and play “lazy” which effects aim as well. So my advice is try and play higher stakes games but less amount. I find I play much better when I play less because I’m much more into the game.
well, sometime it happend to me too go washyour face, play deathmatch if the game you play have. don't focus or stress to musch on the game. just take a break and play other game if you want is the bet way. I think you don't have any problems, it just happen sometime
It's one of the many interesting ways real life skills can be applied to video games. In marksmanship training or weapons training in the military you are taught to focus on your scope's reticle or front post of your rifle when you are ready to fire, but also to scan and look with peripheral vision. Constant changing between focusing in and out of targets, your reticle, and scanning your surroundings.
Thank you for your wisdom I didn’t know about this and all this time I have been focusing on my opponents but missing my shots it’s od with all my training I’ve been doing but now I realize I have to do both
BIG JoKeR hey I believe so I realized I’m playing apex and I tried this method when I looked at the enemy and then looked at my crosshair yo line up as fast as I could
Hey Ron! This was very helpful for me because i came from a game called rust (no crosshair) and i find myself losing sight of my crosshair and basically leaving it up to my sub conscious to aim for me i made it to imm 3 in val but i think this is going to make a huge difference for me thank you,
Related question: When flicking the mouse to shoot an enemy, what do you do with your eyes? Do you stay focused on the crosshair and move the crosshair to the target or do you move your eyes to the target and pull the crosshair along?
Its a reaction shot so its basically muscle memory, once you flick tho, its up to you to focus on your target or the crosshair, i tend to focus on my target.
Hmmm I Focus more on my target because I always know where my crosshair is ir was but the target can move along and that way I know how much I have to move my mouse. Hope It makes sens for you.
I never thought about it that much ever since I touched cs 1.6 when I was 7 I just learned it step by step and never really gave it an in-depth thought.
Another analogy would be like playing baseball, you keep your eyes on the ball(the enemy) and use your peripheral vision to line up and hit the ball(your crosshair) you don't stare at your baseball bat and try and to hit the ball it's the other way around
It's all about that peripheral awareness and being able to focus on your crosshair when needed.. For example if you play aim labs, gridshot is a task where you're always in that peripheral vision and never actually focusing on one dot at a time.. But if it's a precision task you have to dial in and concentrate on one dot.
aw man, this didn't answer my question. When aiming at an enemy should my focus be on my cross hair and use my peripherals on the enemy (who's behind my crosshair) or vise verse?
Vice versa trust me, it’s the proper way. if it feels weird just keep playing and you’ll get used to it. (Watch the enemy, see the crosshair in your peripheral vision) I personally don’t do that anymore but I now look at everything at once so I can switch enemies faster, I think it just takes time training your peripheral vision to be pinpoint accurate like me with this technique.
cool, these are the exact things i compare cs to alot, a car and the nerveracking effect of it, and when focusing on ants or unfocusing making it look like the ground is slighty moving or its scattered with bugs.
For me it is that when i focus onto one Point for too long, let's say im Holding an angle, then after some time my eyes cant focus anymore and my vision gets blurry automatically. Then i have to Focus again really hard to see clear.
@@azoom962 I think it's just that i'm tired so my eyes start to lose focus. On other days when I'm not tired i can hold an angle for a solid minute lol
Also muscle memory helps. Because when you see a target and you have to look for your crosshair then make sure it's on the target, it drags out the time and also makes you less accurate. But if you can gauge the distance by muscle memory and just flick to target without having to look at crosshair, then it cuts down time to target.
Great videos man. It's been super helpful watching you stuff being that I switched from console to PC recently and needed improvement fast. Keep up the attention to detail on these.
this is a really good video and i noticed that you pretty "new" to uploading, my opinion would be to add more "on-screen" things so show what you are talking about. anyways great video keep it up.
The thing about information processing, when it comes to your speed-o-meter, after driving your own vehicles for so long, best thing about it is you can feel when you're driving speed limit, usually off by 1-3km/h but I digress
this is also a big reason why ppl in games say what your ammo is, how much health you have, etc it eases the burden you have to carry by looking yourself so the next time u get pissed at ur teammate for saying info info u can just look at remember that teammate is pretty making it so u have one less thing to look at at that point in time which in some situations can be the difference maker between winning a round and losing
When this really matters is in a gun fight and if you are shooting your gun then absolutely focus fully on the enemy and nothing else. Do not look at your crosshair. Watch the thing that's isnt in your control. The saying is eye on the ball. You focus on what u want to hit, and not what you're hitting with.
How important is sleep to cs? My sleeping schedule is really messed up, I literally do not go to bed before 2am every day and I will take a few naps during the day. And does the time that you go to sleep at matter as much as the duration of sleep you get? Great videos, keep posting please ;)
Aanszo getting a full 8 hours of sleep is the most beneficial, since you’ll be much more alert and your reaction speed will be scientifically higher than someone with say, 5 hours of sleep, etc
@@jitters6604 and what about the time I sleep? is it fine to sleep from 2am-10am or will I see an improvement if I slept from like 10pm-6am for example? been thinking about this since I played my first lan tourney 2 weeks ago and played well in my first few games but in our top8 game was sosososo tired that I couldnt focus at all, so ive been looking into getting a better stamina. Idk why i was so tired since i only played like 4 bo1s spread out in 10hours :/ kinda cost us that semi final spot
It's been researched that sleep is the single easiest and most impactful thing to increase reaction speed and mental focus. Every person requires a different amount of sleep for optimal acuity. As for the circadian rhythm (when to sleep and when to wake up), this is also different for each person, but It's good to have a consistent schedule, this way you know when you are most alert and when not.
What should you do in a situation where 2 enemies peak at the same time? Usually I panic and shoot between them.. Should I focus on at least one of 'em?
It depends on numerous factors and how quickly you can calculate what to do. For example if two enemies are peeking you at the same distance and one is closer to cover and the other is out in the open you should go for the guy out in the open because that will give you better odds to atleast get one frag. If you start shooting at the guy who is closer to cover and he goes behind the wall or box etc then you have to readjust to the other target. If two enemies peek you at different distances you usually want to take out the enemy closer because like before it will give you better odds of getting atleast one frag and a chance to get the second. If a rifle and an awp peek you your best bet is to go for the rifler first because there’s much higher margin of error for the rifler, that is of course if the awper misses his shot will give you a short amount of time to concentrate on just the enemy rifler before adjusting to the awp. Many other scenarios go into this kind of equation but it really all depends on how fast you process the information. In those high risk situations where you are most likely going to die I find it’s better to try and stay calm and take that extra couple milliseconds and put your aim on target instead of just trying to always go for the double kill scenario. Hope this helps I’ve only played cs for 20 years what do I know :)
I think it's more of a question of positioning. Ofc not everytime you will successful in cutting the cake but always try to only engage one enemy at a time, peak as little as possible to allow you to gather intel. If 2 then jump you you have the option of falling back to get an angle that will give you the most advantage. Always have a plan to fall back further because if you can kill one he could communicate that you was in x a place and then the other player has the advantage of using a flash or other util to flush you out to him. Use smokes and molotovs as "area denial" tools. If an enemy is pushing you and you don't want him to pop a smoke. He may still run through it but at least then you have the choice of fight him at an advantage or use the couple of seconds to reposition. Ofc this is a very passive approach that can work but will wear down the timer for sure. If you wanna be more aggressive (which you need to be T side) then you will need to stand ground and try to only engage one at a time by jiggle peaking for info then committing to a peak and pre fire. Have a teammate behind to trade any kills and thats basically CS lol. Only played a year and a bit so wadu I know XD
This is what I came to hear and agree with. I think this video over complicates a simple question. Your brain knows where the reticles are and how they bounce using peripherals sight, it's the target that is unpredictable. Edit for grammar and clarity.
@@bcd398 I learned it from playing mlb the show and being a top player in that game. Started doing it in shooters and my accuracy went up a good amount.
No, because people will spray from 50 meters away. You need to also focus on how long you hold left click, if you're bursting, tapping, control the shots. Simply looking at the target and pressing left click won't always work. And if you only focus on your target, then you can't focus on other targets or information, such as ally positioning, your health, ammo, minimap, etc. If you're talking about focusing on the opponent for a split second, then yes. I had some low-mental player tell me he couldn't ADS and look at the minimap at the same time and ragequit (obviously you won't be looking at the minimap the entire time but just glancing at it). Also, it's 5am and I'm procrastinating so I'm writing here instead.
Whenever I improve at one thing in a game I seem to sacrifice something else. I managed to get my KDR up by getting lots of kills, didn't pay enough attention to ammo and would keep running out.
just keep your crosshair to the height of head and get so used to it so you don't need to focus on crosshair , then make your focus the enviroment....pro tip TBH
My process for a stationary target: I focus on the center of the screen. If I identify a threatening motion off the center of my screen, my eyes shift to them. I then center my screen on them. I note my crosshair placement, and begin to move it in the proper direction, while focused on tracking the target with my eyes. Then once I realize I’m looking at my crosshair instead of the target I know to shoot my shot. My process for a target of constant velocity: I just get the speed they are going, I place my crosshair at head level, far enough ahead of them that I have just enough time to prepare, and when their image moves behind the crosshair that’s when I shoot the shot. Good aimers use and develop both of these and switch between them from each engagement and even sometimes between single engagements. All of this happens extremely fast
my crosshair aim is solid but i dont get kills- aim head hit somewhere else. most of the pro tutorial vids does not relate, does not click. knowing what to do and how to do is what makes you a pro and i don't know how to do the latter.
Practice counter strafing, just because your crosshair is on the head of the enemy it doesn't mean it's going straight to the head already. Also tickrate matters as sometimes while playing in 64tick even you already hit the enemy on the head with proper counter strafe it won't register.
@@xnehaha hey thank you for replying, im just a casul and now want to dig deeper in the game esp 1.6 not GO, so have some q. Do you have to counterstrafe everymovement and shoot thereafter to aim accurately and at what moment do you shoot? i read a good article on what pros get right and learned that locking on between a target with crosshair aim and movement like getting them btw a scissors lol and closing the gap and shooting at this gap within that range of motion while moving as they move too is what makes use of hitbox. about counterstrafing -some say while moving; some say after you stop and shoot thereafter. i dont know what clicks for me i don't get consistent results. I believe there is some revelation that just makes sense and just gives results i am not at that point. ( i know cs has more to do than aim at the head and expect hs like other fps genre, but where do i start with where the bullets would go, i don't know much about bullet physics) and how to perfect movement to help aim better. i dont get even how to practice it's like idk what this drills even do lol. i may sound really bad but im just not confident in what i m doing and want to do better. i get average kills but im not confident enough to even predict this should work lel!!
Hm what i do is focus around the whole middle of the screen, so basically where im looking, rather than the crosshair. Always target first then when aligned, it becomes a 80% target focus and a 20% crosshair focus. And crosshair positioning left to muscle memory mostly. I sometimes use aim400kg.com to warm or sharpen up. Zoom in to make the area as big as possible.

This is easily the most useful resource for FPS gaming and aiming that I have ever seen.

I've ALWAYS wondered that, but no one ever understood what I meant, thanks a lot man
I didn't understand his point :(
We have to focus on the crosshair or the enemies? Or both?
@@sebastianojeda9498 both, naturally, to make aiming harder.

I mean u dont really need to know how to drive in order to know what to do with ur eyes, assuming uve grown up around....cars
@@Sinsanatis Lmao my guy is an amish aimer
@@raff1495 haha lmao fr
LOL I failed driving exam 4 times.... I know how to drive but I suck at parking
I never focus on my crosshair, always focus on my enemies. I'm an okay aimer but I will try to focus on my crosshair more to see if I'll improve. Thanks for sharing this information.
I think what ur doing is fine. But at a certain point it becomes fractioned. Like i mainly focus on my enemy up until im aligned with them. At that point it becomes like 80% enemy to make sure im on target, and 20% crosshair to make sure im within where im wanting to hit them
As for improving i like to use aim400kg.com
I zoom in to make it as big as possible and just use it to practice a bit and warm up

Bro. I met you first time 2000 at Babbages CPL and last time at ESWC Paris. I thought you disappeared forever.
You were always one of my fav players to watch along with cogu and SpawN.
CAL-Admins were so bias against you on forums, never ever deserved that ban.
Hope your doing well.
I actually made a test myself on this and then i got this in my recommendation feed. I got to the conclusion that i need to focus more on the enemy that my crosshair. But normally i don't think about this in matches. Aiming just happens it's not something calculated
After playing for a couple of hours I strat tilting and losing my ability to aim
I think I burn my self out but I am not mentally or physically fatigued
It's just that my aim starts sucking quite a lot even if I was owning before
Why does this happen ? Would love to see a video about this topic or something similar to this
Love ur content and good luck with the channel
You said it in your comment as soon as you lose control you lose aim stay cool ... and enjoy the game you play
Same. I thought it might be arm fatigue but its improbable.
Play less. I’ve played cs for 20 years and at the highest levels now I just play for fun maybe once or twice a week but the only games I play are league matches and I actually try and “get up” for those kinda games. If I play a match make or pug I don’t try and play “lazy” which effects aim as well. So my advice is try and play higher stakes games but less amount. I find I play much better when I play less because I’m much more into the game.
well, sometime it happend to me too
go washyour face, play deathmatch if the game you play have. don't focus or stress to musch on the game. just take a break and play other game if you want is the bet way. I think you don't have any problems, it just happen sometime
It's one of the many interesting ways real life skills can be applied to video games. In marksmanship training or weapons training in the military you are taught to focus on your scope's reticle or front post of your rifle when you are ready to fire, but also to scan and look with peripheral vision. Constant changing between focusing in and out of targets, your reticle, and scanning your surroundings.
Thank you for your wisdom I didn’t know about this and all this time I have been focusing on my opponents but missing my shots it’s od with all my training I’ve been doing but now I realize I have to do both
So u focus on the person and the crosshair so u bounce back between both?
BIG JoKeR hey I believe so I realized I’m playing apex and I tried this method when I looked at the enemy and then looked at my crosshair yo line up as fast as I could
Ima has to try that thanks
BIG JoKeR no problem come back when you done
Raged GOD does this technique work with shotguns too ima try it today
Hey Ron! This was very helpful for me because i came from a game called rust (no crosshair) and i find myself losing sight of my crosshair and basically leaving it up to my sub conscious to aim for me i made it to imm 3 in val but i think this is going to make a huge difference for me thank you,
Related question: When flicking the mouse to shoot an enemy, what do you do with your eyes? Do you stay focused on the crosshair and move the crosshair to the target or do you move your eyes to the target and pull the crosshair along?
Tbh thats preference and if you can time the flick right. Mainly about knowing how long it'll take for your cursor to be onto the person.
Its a reaction shot so its basically muscle memory, once you flick tho, its up to you to focus on your target or the crosshair, i tend to focus on my target.
Munzu flicks is reaction time watch the crosshair when the crosshair is over the enemy shoot strictly reaction time
sometimes your arms/hands are faster than your eyes.
Hmmm I Focus more on my target because I always know where my crosshair is ir was but the target can move along and that way I know how much I have to move my mouse. Hope It makes sens for you.
Great to see you making content, I loved playing source back in the day and watching CGS, how times have changed..

You're a legend, brother. Cool to see you have some content.
Thanks man :)
Another analogy would be like playing baseball, you keep your eyes on the ball(the enemy) and use your peripheral vision to line up and hit the ball(your crosshair) you don't stare at your baseball bat and try and to hit the ball it's the other way around
Your videos are incredibly valuable for semi pro and pro players - you think about things nobody does except them in such detail. Ahead of the curve!
Thank you :D
This has helped a lot thanks!
😊
Pure gamer..... Not blinking so much
haha
It's all about that peripheral awareness and being able to focus on your crosshair when needed.. For example if you play aim labs, gridshot is a task where you're always in that peripheral vision and never actually focusing on one dot at a time.. But if it's a precision task you have to dial in and concentrate on one dot.
love the fpscoach, new sub :D
Welcome :)
aw man, this didn't answer my question. When aiming at an enemy should my focus be on my cross hair and use my peripherals on the enemy (who's behind my crosshair) or vise verse?
Thats where game sense comes in. U can unlock it by playing hundreds to thousand of hours
Well if the enemy is near just focus on them and when they are far away focus on the crosshair
Vice versa trust me, it’s the proper way. if it feels weird just keep playing and you’ll get used to it. (Watch the enemy, see the crosshair in your peripheral vision)
I personally don’t do that anymore but I now look at everything at once so I can switch enemies faster, I think it just takes time training your peripheral vision to be pinpoint accurate like me with this technique.
This was actually mind blowing, beatiful, you got a subscribe for life

Nice take on it brother!! Thank you!!
cool, these are the exact things i compare cs to alot, a car and the nerveracking effect of it, and when focusing on ants or unfocusing making it look like the ground is slighty moving or its scattered with bugs.
This is a guide I’ve been looking for so long THANK YOU SO MUCH COMING FROM A SILVER :)
=D
Smart. I had the same question few days ago
Thanks for the free classes 😌
:D
For me it is that when i focus onto one Point for too long, let's say im Holding an angle, then after some time my eyes cant focus anymore and my vision gets blurry automatically. Then i have to Focus again really hard to see clear.
!!!!!!!!!!! any solution for that?
@@azoom962 I think it's just that i'm tired so my eyes start to lose focus. On other days when I'm not tired i can hold an angle for a solid minute lol
Really enjoyed your video! Found it helpful, keep up the good work :D
Thanks :)
I never realized other people did the exact same thing where you unfocus your eyes in order to observe many ants on the ground at once.
This theory Applies in a lot of fps games, It helped me improve on pubg mobile
Also muscle memory helps. Because when you see a target and you have to look for your crosshair then make sure it's on the target, it drags out the time and also makes you less accurate.
But if you can gauge the distance by muscle memory and just flick to target without having to look at crosshair, then it cuts down time to target.
Great videos man. It's been super helpful watching you stuff being that I switched from console to PC recently and needed improvement fast. Keep up the attention to detail on these.
this is a really good video and i noticed that you pretty "new" to uploading, my opinion would be to add more "on-screen" things so show what you are talking about. anyways great video keep it up.
Thanks for the tip :)
Ron Rambo Kim keep it Up more visuals Always spices up the video :)
i was actually thinking about it today and now i have the answer
thank you o much
The algorithm must be fed, for this was interesting.
The thing about information processing, when it comes to your speed-o-meter, after driving your own vehicles for so long, best thing about it is you can feel when you're driving speed limit, usually off by 1-3km/h but I digress
holy shit... :P this makes so much sens
Yo
this is also a big reason why ppl in games say what your ammo is, how much health you have, etc it eases the burden you have to carry by looking yourself so the next time u get pissed at ur teammate for saying info info u can just look at remember that teammate is pretty making it so u have one less thing to look at at that point in time which in some situations can be the difference maker between winning a round and losing
Everybody gangsta till you realise that you don't even know how to use your eyes
When this really matters is in a gun fight and if you are shooting your gun then absolutely focus fully on the enemy and nothing else. Do not look at your crosshair. Watch the thing that's isnt in your control. The saying is eye on the ball. You focus on what u want to hit, and not what you're hitting with.
How important is sleep to cs? My sleeping schedule is really messed up, I literally do not go to bed before 2am every day and I will take a few naps during the day. And does the time that you go to sleep at matter as much as the duration of sleep you get? Great videos, keep posting please ;)
Aanszo getting a full 8 hours of sleep is the most beneficial, since you’ll be much more alert and your reaction speed will be scientifically higher than someone with say, 5 hours of sleep, etc
@@jitters6604 and what about the time I sleep? is it fine to sleep from 2am-10am or will I see an improvement if I slept from like 10pm-6am for example?
been thinking about this since I played my first lan tourney 2 weeks ago and played well in my first few games but in our top8 game was sosososo tired that I couldnt focus at all, so ive been looking into getting a better stamina. Idk why i was so tired since i only played like 4 bo1s spread out in 10hours :/ kinda cost us that semi final spot
@@Aanszo you should really try to sleep at 10h30 or at least 11h because its dangerous to sleep late
It's been researched that sleep is the single easiest and most impactful thing to increase reaction speed and mental focus. Every person requires a different amount of sleep for optimal acuity. As for the circadian rhythm (when to sleep and when to wake up), this is also different for each person, but It's good to have a consistent schedule, this way you know when you are most alert and when not.
good video bro. really underrated.
help how do i build a crafting rtable???/

thanks now my scout skills is approving
What should you do in a situation where 2 enemies peak at the same time? Usually I panic and shoot between them.. Should I focus on at least one of 'em?
Yes, its better to kill one enemy than try to kill both and end up killing none
Focus on one immediately or take cover!
Thanks for the advice! I really like your channel, also thank you EarZ
It depends on numerous factors and how quickly you can calculate what to do. For example if two enemies are peeking you at the same distance and one is closer to cover and the other is out in the open you should go for the guy out in the open because that will give you better odds to atleast get one frag. If you start shooting at the guy who is closer to cover and he goes behind the wall or box etc then you have to readjust to the other target. If two enemies peek you at different distances you usually want to take out the enemy closer because like before it will give you better odds of getting atleast one frag and a chance to get the second. If a rifle and an awp peek you your best bet is to go for the rifler first because there’s much higher margin of error for the rifler, that is of course if the awper misses his shot will give you a short amount of time to concentrate on just the enemy rifler before adjusting to the awp. Many other scenarios go into this kind of equation but it really all depends on how fast you process the information. In those high risk situations where you are most likely going to die I find it’s better to try and stay calm and take that extra couple milliseconds and put your aim on target instead of just trying to always go for the double kill scenario. Hope this helps I’ve only played cs for 20 years what do I know :)
I think it's more of a question of positioning. Ofc not everytime you will successful in cutting the cake but always try to only engage one enemy at a time, peak as little as possible to allow you to gather intel. If 2 then jump you you have the option of falling back to get an angle that will give you the most advantage. Always have a plan to fall back further because if you can kill one he could communicate that you was in x a place and then the other player has the advantage of using a flash or other util to flush you out to him. Use smokes and molotovs as "area denial" tools. If an enemy is pushing you and you don't want him to pop a smoke. He may still run through it but at least then you have the choice of fight him at an advantage or use the couple of seconds to reposition. Ofc this is a very passive approach that can work but will wear down the timer for sure. If you wanna be more aggressive (which you need to be T side) then you will need to stand ground and try to only engage one at a time by jiggle peaking for info then committing to a peak and pre fire. Have a teammate behind to trade any kills and thats basically CS lol. Only played a year and a bit so wadu I know XD

Tip for hitting shots: focus only on your target your brain does the rest.
This is what I came to hear and agree with. I think this video over complicates a simple question. Your brain knows where the reticles are and how they bounce using peripherals sight, it's the target that is unpredictable.
Edit for grammar and clarity.
@@bcd398 I learned it from playing mlb the show and being a top player in that game. Started doing it in shooters and my accuracy went up a good amount.
No, because people will spray from 50 meters away. You need to also focus on how long you hold left click, if you're bursting, tapping, control the shots. Simply looking at the target and pressing left click won't always work. And if you only focus on your target, then you can't focus on other targets or information, such as ally positioning, your health, ammo, minimap, etc. If you're talking about focusing on the opponent for a split second, then yes.
I had some low-mental player tell me he couldn't ADS and look at the minimap at the same time and ragequit (obviously you won't be looking at the minimap the entire time but just glancing at it). Also, it's 5am and I'm procrastinating so I'm writing here instead.
Whenever I improve at one thing in a game I seem to sacrifice something else. I managed to get my KDR up by getting lots of kills, didn't pay enough attention to ammo and would keep running out.
just keep your crosshair to the height of head and get so used to it so you don't need to focus on crosshair , then make your focus the enviroment....pro tip TBH
My process for a stationary target: I focus on the center of the screen. If I identify a threatening motion off the center of my screen, my eyes shift to them. I then center my screen on them. I note my crosshair placement, and begin to move it in the proper direction, while focused on tracking the target with my eyes. Then once I realize I’m looking at my crosshair instead of the target I know to shoot my shot.
My process for a target of constant velocity: I just get the speed they are going, I place my crosshair at head level, far enough ahead of them that I have just enough time to prepare, and when their image moves behind the crosshair that’s when I shoot the shot.
Good aimers use and develop both of these and switch between them from each engagement and even sometimes between single engagements. All of this happens extremely fast
my crosshair aim is solid but i dont get kills- aim head hit somewhere else.
most of the pro tutorial vids does not relate, does not click.
knowing what to do and how to do is what makes you a pro and i don't know how to do the latter.
Practice counter strafing, just because your crosshair is on the head of the enemy it doesn't mean it's going straight to the head already. Also tickrate matters as sometimes while playing in 64tick even you already hit the enemy on the head with proper counter strafe it won't register.
@@xnehaha hey thank you for replying, im just a casul and now want to dig deeper in the game esp 1.6 not GO, so have some q.
Do you have to counterstrafe everymovement and shoot thereafter to aim accurately and at what moment do you shoot?
i read a good article on what pros get right and learned that locking on between a target with crosshair aim and movement like getting them btw a scissors lol and closing the gap and shooting at this gap within that range of motion while moving as they move too is what makes use of hitbox.
about counterstrafing -some say while moving; some say after you stop and shoot thereafter. i dont know what clicks for me i don't get consistent results. I believe there is some revelation that just makes sense and just gives results i am not at that point.
( i know cs has more to do than aim at the head and expect hs like other fps genre, but where do i start with where the bullets would go, i don't know much about bullet physics) and how to perfect movement to help aim better.
i dont get even how to practice it's like idk what this drills even do lol. i may sound really bad but im just not confident in what i m doing and want to do better. i get average kills but im not confident enough to even predict this should work lel!!
@@ramsesclviii2584 just play
Good question and good answer.
So should you prioritize focus on your crosshairs or your target when aiming?
Will Delacorte bump
Target
Will Delacorte target
I tried out not having a crosshair in OW, and I felt like I did betterz strengthened my muscle memory and focus.
Hm what i do is focus around the whole middle of the screen, so basically where im looking, rather than the crosshair. Always target first then when aligned, it becomes a 80% target focus and a 20% crosshair focus. And crosshair positioning left to muscle memory mostly.
I sometimes use aim400kg.com to warm or sharpen up. Zoom in to make the area as big as possible.
I agree with you, and the most important thing is keep practicing (like Shroud always said)
