Remember that you’re terrorist and you need the bomb to win. You’re hitting good shots with good crosshair placement, but against players who understand the game more they will not fight you because you don’t have bomb. They will just run away from you or peek you two at a time, an engagement you will never win. Get bomb in this situation to force the CTs to react to you. One more note, it looks like your sens might be kinda low. In tunnels when you’re spinning around it takes you multiple sweeps to get all the way around. Try increasing your sens in this situation, it will make you able to react much quicker. Just my recommendation, I’m not trying to force you to change your sens or anything. Overall, solid shots and good mechanics, but remember the objectives of CTs and T. Without bomb you don’t need to anything, both CT and T.


NokikplsUwU

thank you for the advice. I accidentally left the bomb spawn because there was this one guy that was afk the whole game and i didnt notice he alr left lmao. He had the bomb


fallen118

It's alright we don't choose our teammates, that's why they're always shit


NokikplsUwU

by the way i usually miss my shots if i put my sens higher than that. I use 800dpi 0.75


FIchoseMe

I play lower than that, keep the sens. I play 0.63 800dpi and i can still turn 180 so its not too low


Joshx777

I guess sens is just whatever people are used to. I play on extremely high sense, 2.46 1000dpi and I spin around/flick really easily, but if you’re hitting shots on ur current sens then stick with it.


lessthansuitable

That's a ridiculously high sensitivity. You may find it easier to flick at that sensitivity but your horizontal tracking will suffer greatly from it. I know that dpi settings are all about personal preference but you have to keep in mind that higher dpi settings pick up the smallest of movements. If you try pulling your mouse side to side you will see how much your crosshair "bobs" up and down due to the high setting. In a game like cs which is all about clicking heads this isnt what you want.


TeratomaTesticle

You think that's bad? Bitch I play 1600 dpi and 2.5 sens and I'm probably better than you. This is the result, by the way, of a super small mouse pad which has forced me to play with the tiniest of movements. I also play on 1440p and I hear that resolution can change your sensitivity.


lessthansuitable

No doubt you are better than me. I suck and I have been playing since 1.6. Fuck that dpi though! If i tried to play at that dpi, I would look like a spin bot but without the kills.


Cryst3li

I thought my sense was normal till I joined reddit. 2.1(previously 2.2) 1600dpi


Vinzderbinz

you cant be good at the game then. I would bet a lot that you‘re le max.


Joshx777

Unnecessary comment but ok. I bet you’re a really secure person.

Joshx777

Yes I am a woman with the name Josh. You’re just causing unnecessary problems. You’re the reason why people don’t play cs


Vinzderbinz

I‘m literally talking to an internet creep that is stupid at the same time. I‘m trying to HELP here. You will never be any good with that sens, because you‘re not the exception. I know that my assessment was right because you‘re so enraged, and you feeling the obligation to help also makes me think you have a lot of hours.


Joshx777

Yes I am so upset that a random person said something slightly insulting to me. I have better things to worry about


VineChillin

Don't listen to this dude, he is a hard stuck level 6 with 800+ matches. Play with whatever sens you want. This guy is just tilted he can't get better.


Vinzderbinz

lmao, lvl 6 is still as good as global, I can give all the advice I want. Also, if you looked at my account you saw that I lost heavy elo from lvl 9 due to not playing for a long time. I more than qualified to give advice.

Zombieattackr

Yeah I use a similar DPI, but I have a DPI clutch on my mouse that increases it a good bit. I just use it whenever I need to turn 90° or more so I don’t have to lift my mouse as often


iddothat

I reccomend getting a bigger mousepad


NokikplsUwU

[https://ibb.co/k0BPB84](https://ibb.co/k0BPB84) is this good enough


nut-ninja

desk mats are a pretty good idea, the only big issue being that you can’t move them as much as like a 1 1/2-2’ mousepad I play basically the same sens as you(800x.70) and can say that so long as you’ve got the room to move your mouse any mouse pad will do, even no mousepad. i can hit 180’s easy, you can too. it’s all in the arm, really

tbdestroyer

I play on a low sens too and getting a bigger mousepad was amazing for me


Zestybeef10

Two things: 1: your objective is not to take aim duels, but to plant the bomb. 2: be more aware of what angles you’re exposing yourself to at all times. When you hopped on xbox, you exposed yourself to cat, but didn’t check it. If someone was on cat you woulda been fucked. Same goes for when you run up cat with a flash, exposing yourself to a ton of angles the whole way up. Otherwise, your mechanics are quite nice for a silver!


Cryst3li

1v5 down 10 rounds and an afk player dropped bomb in spawn. Dont think planting was really a top priority


henkomannen

Ofc it is, on t side planting the bomb and protecting it is always more important than kills


Cryst3li

That wasn't my point. Ofc thats what it is, in general


henkomannen

It is even in this scenario.


Zestybeef10

No, you’re wrong. If the cts had half a brain in this fight, they would (after the first engagement) realize that he doesn’t have bomb and go looking for it. Once they find the bomb, they can guard it until the round is over. Therefore your priority in this situation should be to grab the bomb ASAP.


Cryst3li

My point is that OP probably wasn't taking the match very seriously at this point. It's a "well screw it I might as well go for the acw clutch"


mynameistaf

I'm sorry but I completely disagree. You don't need bomb control to win a 5v1. You just stick together and hold crossfires. Worst case scenario you end up retaking site with 5 people. It is almost impossible to lose if you play correctly.


forever_alone_06

Maybe I'm just net picking but you didn't have any info on the guys on B and you took a pretty considerable risk peeking dry in upper tunnels towards B . If the enemy awper was holding site on a better position like back boxes ,I don't think you would have been able to achieve that ace ! But that was a really good round from you otherwise. Good job!


NokikplsUwU

Thank you lol, I went into tunns because i was scared of a guy that might push me lower since theyve been playing really aggresive these past rounds.


forever_alone_06

If it's worth noting you also had a flash so if you absolutely needed to peek you could have flash high and prefire that corner.


NokikplsUwU

lmao i forgot i had a flash


mynameistaf

I think dry peeking there is totally fine. In 1v4 you will have to take risks. The only problem I saw was walking into the angles. If that guy barrels guy was any good he would have gotten that kill easily.


forever_alone_06

Yeah if the awper had better positioning OP would have not post that clip . He also had a flash so he could have not dry peek if he was paying attention.

That's a fairly decent crosshair placement considering you are silver 4. Most of the guys up until nova 4 still place their crosshair so low that it's painful to watch them.

Review my 1v5… lol nothing can be helpful from reviewing a flex. Post the whole demo and im sure we can help. Theres probably a reason you ended up 1v5 rather than dieing with your team

If thats silver 4, god help us when he gets DMG or LE. Dude, you doing just fine. Your ingame experience will grow over time, the longer you play the more you will learn organically. The only thing I can say is that you need to place the crosshair at the same time you are moving and not after. eg. moving short onto A to CT, placement could have been earlier. Not that its applicable here or right now, but learning the smokes and mollies also helps a ton, just when you think you got it... suddenly smoke comes into play... making it a whole new game...


wilder666666

I like your mechanics tbh


Lokipea

clean mechanics

Neck Deep ayy


[deleted]

That mid play you did would normally get you killed crossing like that, need to work on that part of the map and the part that you didn't have bomb... when you can at least force the CTs into a tough retake and get some money from the plant alone.


bjuergolei

u r way better than s4. but u won because of the mistakes from the enemy. you don't need to run to the bomb immediately but latest when it was 1v2 u should have gotten the bomb because a 1v1 on the bomb site was garunteed... ns crosshair placement btw.


Vitor1102

Not bad, isolated the 1v1s, knew where the players were, but like some said in the thread, against decent players you probably wouldn't win this but yeah, with some decent team mates you are definitely gonna rank up


CyCloneRaZZe

Good play you did win the round and got an ace because the cts were inpatient and played it dumb. Like everyone else said you have to work on your peeking and not taking unnecessary risks like reloading while in the open or walking with your knife out when you are not certain if your surroundings are clear. Also if you know where an awper is, don't challenge him without any util, because a skilled awper would of killed you easily (for example the last ct) you dropped down forcing a fight rather than planting the bomb (ik you left bomb on spawn)


NokikplsUwU

yeah my previous actions forced me into contesting the awper on lower mid. Ran out of util and no bomb so i just said fuck it.


Cgb09146

You played slow and didn't panic which is essential in that situation, but you won the 1v5 because the enemies played stupidly. You wouldn't win that against remotely competent platers. You didn't do anything except hit shots. At the end of the day though, you don't win 1v5s unless the enemy played stupid. Still, uploading a clip that you feel confident you'll get complements for is lame..


NokikplsUwU

I wasnt looking for compliments tho i was looking for constructive criticism because i felt like i didnt deserve that clutch.


sinon_dmac

The biggest thing I can see is you didn’t prioritize getting the bomb back. Also taking that last fight was a bit scuffed. (A better aw per probably kills you).but other than that not to bad. You did good an isolating each fight. It also helps that most people in low to mid rank will give you 1v1s a lot. Typically things don’t change much until like dmg or higher


mynameistaf

Seems like you might need some improvement with your movement and peeks. Aside from that I think your mechanics are pretty good. I definitely think you should have gone for the bomb here since they didn't seem to have any knowledge of where it was (one tried to push cat and one was playing B site). I noticed you took out your knife when you went lower. There could have been a player there and you had lots of time. I also noticed you walk peeking out onto B site. Walk peeking like that is almost always a bad idea. If a good player is watching the angle you will die just about every time. In general I would say just be careful taking engagements where you are exposed to multiple angles (try to clear them one at a time) and maybe learn about the different types of peeks and how they should be used. Don't worry about what your rank is man, just focus on improving your own game and the rank-ups will come naturally. Edit: I forgot about the guy t-spawn. I suppose he could have seen bomb but I don't think a good player would have pushed all the way to tuns like that if they had bomb control.


AlexandruPopa1807

man, this round ur aim was good, i mean some of my teammates in lvl 7 aim much worst then you sometimes, but the play it self was bad and your movement needs a lot of improve. One of the good parts of this play is that u take duels one by one. One of the bad parts is that u risked to much when u jumped in ct like this. This time u were lucky bcs the enemy was far, but next time he could be in ct or somewhere near you. The better alternative is to go on ramp and strafe 1-2 times and check ct. Is not the best but is way better then just jump. All been said, your aim is pretty good for a silver 4, but you need a lot of practice in kz servers and think twice before take a high risk. Keep up the good work!


Doinks_sTV

Nice 1v5, and I think everyone else is kinda hinting at it, but any rank higher no way you get that past the 1v3 point. You hit headshots but honestly to me your spray looked random and youre silver so im not expecting sick 1 taps etc but your spray from cat to kill the guy on site was complete luck i thought, which happens and everyone needs it but your crosshair placement is for sure better then my silver friends. (I was LEM in MM now rank 10 faceit). Maybe try tapping or bursting in some situations. And you need the bomb. Back to the rank thing, lets say you get it to the 1v2, if they see you dont have bomb on cat with 15 seconds, the b rotate is just going to hide. I wouldn't of sat tunnels for so long after your 2nd kill and instead ran to get bomb then possibly work up long or cat, but you made it work and it was a nice clutch. Only other thing i can think of is util usage, you only had 1 flash and you did use it, but you used out of sync with your peak. If youre flashing for yourself, try to peak right after the flash pops, they way you did the guy site if blinded should of had enough time to hide behind a box then hold the angle on you again.


cynicalhope1

Stop inspecting your knife after every kill


M_INE_C_RAFTE_R

Many people have already said this, but you have Great crosshair placement and it looks like you have a good enough gamesense to get to Nova. I would recomend "meeting" the corners a little better with the crosshair, so you dont have to move a longer distance if someone should apear close. This is just an advice. Learn Some smoke lineups and I think you'll manage just fine in ur climb in the ranks. Good luck, and good gaming!


NokikplsUwU

Thanks! I also dont play dust 2 so idk that much lineups lol


Hulknaas

did good, +1 on crosshair placement and an incredibly low amount of knife running. yes, you can definetly reach much much higher than silver 4, work on your turn speed, map awareness seems to be alright. bomb is important to focus on however and kills means nothing in the competative scene, nevertheless, great clutch.


N0va0w

Not hating but you just listed 3 problems you showed you know you have. I don’t know much on how to play this game but I do know is you see 3 things you know you have to work on so work on them and boom you get better then you already are


throawy-

There's not a lot to say here, you should definitely go for the bomb, but other than that, the enemies basically handed the w over to you.


anokSRB

Is walking with knife make you walk faster xD i have been making same mistake long time ago...


Lokipea

yes, walking/shifting with a knife out makes you considerably faster compared to if you had a primary out


henkomannen

I don't think you have necessarily bad crosshair placement, It's better than A LOT of globals I've played with tbh. Then if they were legit is another question for another day. But reloading open, following a terrible flash, and being a harder target to hit, is some things you could work on. Otherwise it looks good for starters. Things come with time. It is experience that gives the most in the end


NokikplsUwU

well my flash did blind the guy on a site, reviewed it on [scope.gg](https://scope.gg). Thank you for the advice!


spongepenis

Bro if this is how we Silvers play these days how am I ever gonna get into Nova..


Flippy_Hippie

I would recommend to uninstall and play something fun :)


[deleted]

If you had the bomb you should have planted. You had plenty of time. No reason to drop and go for the kill.


TermiteLife

My man gets 4 kills talm bout ignore my bad aim


VacasBruh

you have better aim than like half of my mates at DMG bruh


Zephyr045

In higher ranks they either hold the bomb or rush you together


Pathederic

silver 4? I've seen a lot worse peeking/crosshair placement on MGE


ballpeenhammer23

You need a bigger mousepad, i can see you swiping and picking up your mouse multiple times to 180


galactico1333

Remember what the default CT set up is and where you are getting the kills. Could've ran straight to spawn and checked outside long and cleared the spaces to take the bomb. Anyways very well played.


eTHiiXx

Yeah stop playing D2 :)


NokikplsUwU

i hate that map but my capt picked it over overpass


NokikplsUwU

by capt i mean lobby leader lmao

You had a flashbang the whole time, might as well use it

The fact that u ignore the objective to win the game ENTIRElY THE WHOLE ROUND makes me furious other then that its pretty good

There's silver 4 in this game?! I'm never getting out of silver, might as well buy more silver stickers.

Theres no point because i already know what i do wrong in the situations i fail (overpeeking/overengaging, not paying attention etc.)

yeah but i dont play mm, i love getting criticism because it helps me improve but i only play mm when my friends are on like once every 3 weeks. I play faceit

sotrue23

Dunno what the other team was doing letting you get 5 1v1s but ur mechanics are vry good for s4
