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

This is literally my favorite series for cs2 at the moment. Thank you so much for being willing to learn in the open like this. You model what it should look like to show up every day, and just focus on what you can control and get better at. It's a trait NA cs lacks a lot of, and I love to see you promoting it here.
ALSO, the amount of value that I'm getting from hearing the perspective of Pienix is incredible. He's constantly dropping gold nugget tips, or revealing new considerations I hadn't thought of previously. So a huge thank you to him as well for being a part of this. Y'all both deserve for this to pop off, and I honestly expect it to. Best of luck going forward, keep em coming! I just discovered this series this week and have so much to dig through still :)
Thanks for the thoughtful and generous comment : )
Pienix is such a great coach. I love his demeanor. He's so direct that it's borderline insulting sometimes. To me, that just really helps info stick. One thing to know what to do, another to know you need to do it to avoid being embarrassed haha.
There is a difference between constructive critisism and being toxic :D
Algorithm gods please show this great content to more people🙏
amen🎉
dude your spell worked it showed it to me
Like comment subscribe
Don’t, or I will get destroyed on overpass now
No shhhhh don't show anyone but meeee
Thanks so much for uploading these. As someone who doesn't know the maps all too well, getting info from your videos is really helping out my positioning and timing.
im so glad for u i been noticing this coaching content is gettin u better , ur play style is so good and different than it was keep going
This series is the best cs2 content I've seen
Love the demo reviews. So insightful to see what aspects of a demo a coach looks for.
Glad it was helpful!
I was waiting for this bro, as I said ! thanks for the upload, liked before watching because I know it's gonna be a banger !
love seeing you use the concepts and tricks hes telling you
haha im trying!!!
Love this series
Amazing video once again!
Overpass is probably my worst map and I’ve always felt kinda lost.
Normally I play A long and always felt like it’s not the best position, good to have this video confirm it.
I’ll be playing the same position like you did from now on :)
awesome, good luck!
On overpass i always connector agresive flash for peak
i like this content so much too ! as a cs2 enthusiast i immediately subscribe to this channel ! cannot wait for more content like this in the future !
Thank you!!!
Love these videos man
just want to thank you for uploading these videos, it's like I'm receiving coaching as well since i make lots of mistakes now (4k mmr)
you're welcome! hope they help with the grind
Very good video, very valuable, you earned a subscriber, greetings from Argentina 💯🙌🙌
Really good! Helps a ton.
In csgo i was silver elite. As a newer player I love this.
i started csgo in silver 2!
@@xboxlasagne no ya me too. I meant I was SE when they switched to CS2. Got about 500 hours. Don't practice or warm up or know line ups 😬.
What's your rank right now?
I can't stay above 4k in premier.
@@ReDsOxFaN4LiFe1 around 6.6k i believe
Hey man, thanks for your content! Keep the good work!
Thanks, will do!
Thanks I needed some tips on this map.
Great video! Had one thing in mind that I can’t see said, maybe I missed it. You could save the 400 bucks on a kit if you plan on pushing really high up early in the round like in 10:54 . Even if you get traded one-for-one or even two-for-one, the kit is really a waste of money and it’s unlikely you’ll get enough kills+ cover to fall back and make use of it later.
good point!
Ale mega kanał! Mega robota bro
I panic a lot and this helps
Algo algo algo. P.S. thank you for your vid on CSC. I’m a PFA rn and it is my favorite thing in cs period
oh sick, very happy to hear that
I'm the same! I pull the trigger too early and sometimes I crouch before shooting.
very informative video!
I just got about to critically analyse my demos and you are so much cleaner than I am (crosshair placement for sure). May I suggest you embark on a new challenge? Instead of the joke that is Premier, try grinding FaceIt? I think you're ready!
This game is so much more complex than I thought 😮
Cs would be such a great game if more ppl played with proper positioning and actually fell back or psuhed depending on the circumstances
I understand your point but it depends, games are also for fun. I play CS for fun not tryhard and was MG2 in CSGO. Actually that’s why there are gamemodes, faceit, ESEA and your own team to choose. I think the dynamic range from bad players to best in CS makes game better and fun and more competitive. Everyone can’t be good, same is in other sports, it would be boring.
@Tempo_est I also play for fun but I don't really see the joy in not using your brain and playing solo in a cooperative video game. How many times have you lost rounds with a huge advantage because the team decided not to fall back and group and just take a 1v1. Qhat I'm trying to say is there are simple things that should be common sense for a player idk the title Competitive for csgo/cs2 means nothing everyone queues it wether they want to play for fun or fun challenge it has lost its meaning gaming didn't used to be like that in the past and I think it's the zoomers.
well you can play for fun with friends too not solo. I def get your point but in other way that difference between quality has made CS(GO) popular and thats why this game exists like other sports - difference between skills. There are also sunday league in football for example. @@xXxC0nSUm3rXxX1337
actually i like the ego cs players have. Valorant players are much more cerebral and tactical and it feels boring
@bonaventuraxyz ego is fine I guess what I meant was ego to the point where you just can't see past simple mistakes or take into account diffrent possibilities.
These are gold
this series has really been helping my game thanks xbox lasagne and pienix
thank you!!
Any aim training routine for more trigger discipline from pienix goat ?
Great series!
Could guide talk a little more about how to "deal" or "play" with randoms? f.ex how would he play the same positions when team mates are constantly changing positions and forcing
There is no fix, only fix is to play premade
Algorithm please pick this up, I KNOW I'm not the only who hugely benefits from these. Lots of common mistakes being called out here and it is so helpful.
I wish all my teammates would see these videos before queing and getting on my team 😭
LOL same
curious if he recommends people around your level play faceit or stick with comp/prem
13:38 You were right, 2 keys make you go faster than 1 key. Don't know why the coach said 1 key..
Yeah
I also always panic when i see enemy, in aiming maps i pop heads easily, but when i play the real game, i just panic everytime i see enemy, lol.
how i play long if i'm pushing, is i'll smoke off long corner and then throw a Molotov behind the smoke and push up and get the wide angle and swing it. most of the time it works.
first kill. discipline is hard when your reactions are very fast
Looking at that shooting makes me say "wow he's literally me"
I'd say I'm not bad with clearing angles mechanically but I've got a problem when it comes to seeing enemy and trying to make micro or macro adjustment.
It's like I lack focus on enemy. Like I daydream all the time and don't pay attention. When I shoot bots it's all fine and all aim correction are precise. But when in comes to game situation my focus is always shifted. I'm losing my last shards of hope to fix that.
And through some time during game that applies also to decisions and enemy counting. It's what your coach told you on some game that if you killed man in the area you're safe to assume that there's no more people and move with more confidence. It was nuke if I recall correctly. It's like my mind gets clouded.
Someone please help me xD
Just a note. for 5:09 you forgot also to buy head armor. This could have changed the outcome of that duel
Man that intro tune is so nice, do you have it uploaded somewhere_
yep, joecs.bandcamp.com/track/5-am
also on streaming services under the same name
finally overpass S2
show this to all my tm8s so i dont have to carry so hard, theres some good info in this tho im probably gonna try those strats next overpass game
nice, gl!
waiting for dust 2
look ma i'm on tv
For the algorithm
super nice video. but i have one question does any one know what the name of the sticker on the printstrem gun is called? i would really help i any knew what is was called
stickers are 2x Smoke Criminal (scratched) and Fluxo Paris holos
how to play with scout | dont tell me to hold angle, i want the fastest peeks, falling back one line to make a trap and in late round some flickshot action
cool
intro song? very relaxing but upbeat too
joecs.bandcamp.com/track/5-am also on streaming services
Nade usage pretty good. Just lacking aim and positioning. I think just playing the game a lot will help this guy.
can you explain to me how you throw (or make short) the moly on 10:20 pls.. I try to copy the position and throw but i just can't figure it out
to be honest i'm still not hitting it every time!
11:49 Is it really too early? I mean if he just AD-peeked you, you would have shot him. If you wait for his final position he might just kill you if he doesn't wide swing.
how do you rewatch the games ?
this is a screen recording
Sorry for the noob question, but how do you practice utility? Is there a mod? I can't even find spray pattern practice mods that work. It's kind of embarrassing I've been playing this game wrong for 20 years.
Play -> Practice -> Competitive -> tick all the boxes on the left hand side of the screen (grenade camera, infinite ammo, infinite warmup), then pick your map and load in. If you want to get a little deeper with it search youtube for "practice configs" which will give you some additional options and commands.
How to download demo in cs2? I really need it
can't unless you've played on a private server or faceit
kwewll
First!
It's hard to do anything in this game because you get instakilled so you are punished for playing. That's why you want to run away.
: (
you’d think you’re watching a big youtuber
heh, maybe one day
How did you download demos?
I don't think you can right now. You should be able to record a demo yourself with the use of console commands, but the footage they used here is just a software recording.
Correct. And you can still get demos from faceit matches.
Thank you!!
Do you not play premier?
i do - this is a comp game because i was targeting overpass so i was queuing for it over and over again until i got a suitable game to review
@@xboxlasagne makes sense. It's kinda crazy how this game requires actual deliberate study and practice to be good. I've always just relied on my reaction time and game sense, and I landed at 1600 with a 20% win rate for premier. After looking at a few videos I've won several in a row. Wild.
@@donaldcedar7574 That is why most people at the top have so many thousands of hours, mechanically some people are just better but the amount of game knowledge to learn to be at the top is just insane. Mind you, if you know what you are looking for you can definitely progress much quicker than others!
How's your IGLing? ik the SAV prospect team is looking for one in S13
Everytime I start one of these videos I turn it off. His criticism is annoying as hell. Stop asking WhY yOu Do ThAt?? Learn to say, in this situation you'd benefit from...
it's actually important for me to go through the line of questioning as it helps me work my thought process. "Why did you do that?" isn't a rhetorical question it's an important step in correcting faulty decisionmaking.
your coach is not good
didn’t ask
Correction on the HE throw from trashcan: After your jump off you instantly want to strafe towards the bushes (only 'A'). This way you'll jump further, hence your nade will fly all the way past the stairs and into the room.
👍
how are you watching these demos? i thought demos are turned off
this is a recording of my screen, but you can get demos from faceit matches still
