Need some tips

Hello! I started playing cs2 a long time ago, but without prime and on competitive/wingman. Three weeks ago i started playing faceit and i had the chance to see how bad i am at this game. I learned some smokes, nades, etc. My main problem is the aim i think. Do you know some community maps to exercise prefire? Also, can someone explain to me the "crosshair placement" thing?

Seeing no improvement starting to practice and play more

I started taking CS much more seriously a few weeks ago and have been doing a routine of warmup, aimtraining etc.

I climbed from lvl 4 to lvl 7 Faceit, but recently Ive just been on a downwards spiral. Dropping 39 kills on Anubis and then the next game getting 7 kills on Anubis. I will either have a 2.5 or 0.7kd with almost no in between.

I practice a lot of aim using voltaic aimlabs but it feels like my aim is getting much worse, I lose easy duels and sometimes even miss headshots when looking at the enemy in the back of the head. Im not just not improving after doing all this training, I am getting worse.

I have lost 19 out of my last 25 Faceit games and very often being in the top 2 fraggers on the team, but I am just simply getting worse and I do now know why. I do a short warmup of killing some bots standing still, moving around and rushing me, then I do 10 minutes retake and 10 minutes DM, play faceit and afterwards I do Voltaic VDIM and killing some bots for practice in various ways.

EDIT: I might have made myself unclear and I apologize.

What I do daily is this, Warmup ~30-40 minutes -> Faceit games -> watch lost game demos -> Aim routine (Includes Aimbotz, Refrag, Aimlabs, etc)

I must be doing something wrong… what is it?

Hi all. I’m 700 hours into the game which I know is not much, but I feel like I’m sucking wind and not getting any better. I’m about 4-5k elo and think I have some problems with inconsistency. Some matches I’ll top frag with 30 kills and make tons of impact, some matches Leetify will tell me I was the worst player in the match with 8 kills. I’ve tried everything: DM warmup prior to queuing, Aim Botz tracking and headshot routines, spray control maps, Refrag.gg prefire maps, etc. I’m not sure if aim is necessarily my problem, but one thing I really struggle with is panicking when I’m in gunfights. I’ve tried to relax myself more and this helps a bit, but what else could I be doing to improve and rank up? I don’t want to be stuck in this elo forever, since I feel like In getting queued with people who don’t even want to be playing. Is the missing element time? Do I just need to play more?

What workshop map can I use in cs2 instead of Yfrac?

I'm looking for a workshop map to practice with bots. I used to use Yfrac in csgo but I don't know which one to use in cs2.

6k to 14k in about 6 weeks

What’s up all. I recently got back into CoonterStrike after a year or so break. I’ve always been on/off about this game, but recently I’ve been playing and practicing daily.

I started at 15k after my first game but reality checked me and I dropped alllll the way down to like 6k. Through persistence, practice and patience, grinded back up to 14k and I’m looking how to improve more to my goal of 20k

I signed up for refresh recently and noticed that my crosshair placement is about 2.5 degrees worse than average. I also have a bad entry percentage. I usually lose the 1v1 when peeking, being repeaked etc.

Does anyone have any methods that could help me out? Doing crossfire, pre-fire and defense mode right now on refrag

Thanks all who took time to read and give advice!

Why are my shots so inconsistent?

I feel like my cross hair is on target, and I don’t think I’m moving but my shots seem to miss at long range seemingly no matter what I do

I have a video here of it, the movement and stuff sucks coz I was trying to get a video specifically of what I was struggling with

What's wrong with my cat jump on mirage?

I've been trying to learn the cat jump from window, and can get moderately consistent with jumping out the window, but I can never land onto cat. What are the mistakes I'm making that prevent me from reaching cat?

This is the video of my failed jump

Spawn Position vs Designated site anchor

Hi, I'm a 7k elo premier rating and recently was watching some streamers playing CT site.

When me and my friends play, during CT site on D2, Mirage and Inferno, we will usually decide the players site defenders by spawn position. However, when I watch high level streamers play, they will usually decide who will anchor which site regardless of spawn position.

So my question is what is better? Spawn position or designated site anchor to decide who play which site?

How does Leetify rating work? Is it a useful metric or should I just focus on the details?

Basically I’ve had some games where my team (obviously including me) gets absolutely dominated by the enemy team and this lowers my Leetify rating. I liked looking at rating before because whether I lost or won, I could know how much impact I had on the outcome. Now that I’m between 5k and 6k, my rating went way down (obviously my opponents are better now), but every other metric (except for crosshair placement but I’m working on it) is getting better and better.

Basically my question is, can Leetify rating be something work tracking and pursuing (the higher the rating, the better I played kinda mentality) or is it better to ignore it and focus on the details like aim, hs%, trading, etc?

Lightning Bolt Next to Handle

I am aware it means you're on an xp streak. I got one next to my name not long after they came out, then I ranked the xp bar again and it disappeared.

I can rank up the bar 2 or 3 times in a week, and never get my lightning bolt. How many times do you have to do it? Has anyone else had this issue?

All I have tried is checking the validity of game files. Considering maybe a reinstall? Or would I have to get the xp bar 4 times in a week to outdo myself to stay on the "streak?" Sorry if valve already answered this but I can't find it and it's been bugging me thanks.

10k Hours CS2 Player LF Serious Team – Climbing Back to Higher ELO & more!

Yo, what's up!

I'm looking for a team or players who need a +1 for a 5-stack on CS2 Faceit games & more. I’ve got a lot of experience playing with teams, and I'm fluent in English – no toxic vibes here. If you're serious, non-toxic, and at least Faceit level 8, hit me up privately!

About me:

  • Experience: 10k+ hours in CS:GO/CS2 (8k on main account, around 2-3k on others)
  • Roles: Lurker and Anchor
  • Faceit Background: Previously reached level 8/9, but I took a break, and since returning, I’ve mostly been solo-queuing, which quickly snowballed my ELO downwards. I take full responsibility for not putting in the time I used to on demos, new strats, lineups, etc. This led me to drop all the way down to level 2/3, but I've been climbing back up slowly and am currently at level 5. I’m investing more time again in watching demos, studying lineups, and improving overall. Please keep this in mind if you reach out – I’m aiming to join teams with level 8+ players, so please avoid contacting me if your team is around level 2-4.
  • Attributes: Ambitious, quick learner, ego-free, fluent in English, chill/no toxicity
  • Looking for: A permanent team or solid players to queue with regularly and work on strats

Other Notes: Always open to a conversation on Discord and down for tryouts or games to show my gameplay style, teamwork, communication, and English fluency. If you're looking for a dedicated teammate who’s serious about improving and working as a unit, I’d love to talk!

My Steam Profile – please leave a comment on my profile if you add me. Thanks!

The M4 Debate. I've been seeing a lot more pro's use the M4A4 recently.

Maybe its because I'm paying more attention when watching pro play since the major is around the corner. But I can't help but notice the large amount of A4 users compared to A1-s.

I know I cannot compare what works for me to a pro, but I just want to know why.

What to do when aimbotz doesn't feel helpful, but people in practice deathmatches like Pracc.play completely outmatch you?

I'm between the 9k - 12k range in Premiere elo (depending on luck on if I get a win streak or loss streak). I want to get better at gun fights against human opponents, but I feel like deathmatch in either Valve lobbies or Pracc.play servers isn't helping; in Valve lobbies I feel like the spawns and spawn delay are terrible resulting in more than half of the server time being wasted by either being shot in the back or shooting other players in the back. In Pracc.play servers, I feel like I'm so much worse than everyone else that I can't even practice the basics that people suggest of like, "try not shooting your opponent for a few seconds to get used to how long you actually have to kill them" since I find myself dying to someone awping before I've even reacted to them existing on my screen, or that they can track my head well enough that it just doesn't help.

I feel like warming up in aimbotz and similar workshop maps doesn't feel like it's helping me much at this point because in such a sterile and controlled environment I can counterstrafe, flick, etc. fine enough, so it feels like I'm just in an awkward in-between where I'm too out-matched in curated deathmatch servers, valve deathmatch doesn't feel time-efficient, and where it feels like I'm stagnating with aimbotz.

18+ Community (NA) w/ 10Man Servers for Newer/Learning-oriented Players

If you are:

  1. chill

  2. an adult

  3. in North America

  4. trying to get better at cs

  5. interested in meeting similar people and making friends to play with

then I have a discord community for you.

This community is generally geared at newer and lower-ranked players, but people at all skill levels are welcome. Just don't be a douche.

Back in my day, there was no matchmaking. You joined a server that said "5v5" and hoped for the best. MM is a cesspool, and learning this game is hard.

So I'm building a community for us older folks who want to play this game, but don't have the patience for queuing into jerks and five stacks while solo. Maybe we'll even make some friends along the way.

The nature of this community will likely change a lot over time, but as of today the goal is to have 10-30 people who can behave respectfully towards one another and play some 10-mans, and maybe queue some Faceit together. More than happy to have troll matches that are just screwing around, but I'm posting on this sub in search of people who actively want to get better at the game as well.

If you are super skilled/experienced and want to join in more of a teaching/helping capacity or just to meet chill people to play with, you are more than welcome as well.

Reply or DM me for an invite!
