Been playing CS for a long time and been getting killed at the 11-13k elo lately and watching these videos made me realize that I gotta go back to the fundamentals - peeking incorrectly, not having my knife out, excuses for my own fault, and being impatient... These videos have been great. Thank you!
14:10 Fucking amen. I've learned this hard lesson coming from a cs1.6 into csgo, trying to wallbang/prefire only to basically get roasted 7/10 times.. fast forward with cs2, trying to "teach" my friends that its just not worth attempting these things because of the disadvantage it provides as a single player.. if there is a reliable setup; a bait and swap is available, guy swings the spam and you have another guy holding the push.
If this guy listens to this information and incorporates it into his gameplay he is going to be really good! Solid advice and I could also take some notes to improve my own gameplay. Thanks!
If you don't want to wait you can pay like 6$ for refrag for a month and use their crossfire/prefire modes. They are a solid replacement until Yprac comes out, but his latest update points to it being a while yet as he is waiting for the new scripting API to be released, and who knows when that will be =[
You can preidct 90% of stuff off 10% of intel, all about staying ahead of enemy mentally. You don't need to be told where they are if you know what they'll probably do after/during an engagement and get one step ahead of them. Everytime you die, ask yourself "What is the person who killed me going to do?" Then watch and analyze what they and their team actually do as you specate, don't just passively watch because you're dead. Everytime someone does something while your dead (push, frag, smoke, etc) ask yourself what is the reaction going to be? If your TM gets a frag, did they rotate immediately? Did they wait out the smoke? Did they immediately push site after getting a pick? Did they wait and watch their six? Look out for things like that and you'll learn your opponents really fast and start predicting them more easily, you'll start to see where they're vulnerable too. In solo queue it can also help you figure out your TM's skill levels, because more skilled players will peek correctly and have good crosshair placement/positioning and fast reaction time/movement regardless of ELO.
THIS. Once i figure them out AND CORRECTLY predict multiple times my teammates still dont wanna listen... nor think for themselves... example: we got 2 left on b inferno ct side and the enemy knows. They havent even tried faking rotates. So why stay b and mindlessly hold it? sometimes the only person that isnt playing like a headless chicken is just my duo lol.
amazing video. I love these breakdowns. I make the same mistakes as the guy in the demo. Very eye opening. CS2 is just more than running the game on good hardware, there are actual skills, intelligence, and strategy that goes with it.
4:20 I disagree about the jumping on the repeek. The enemy was already focused on shooting your teammate so you want the highest dps possible as soon as possible on the opponent to protect your teammate. The only thing the jump would achieve is delay the damage as the opponent wouldn't have been shooting the jumper anyways.
Usually that shaky crosshair is because he have a mousepad that doesn't anchor his aim enough or a sens that is too high. He can practice forever but if he's not comfortable with his mousepad and sens his aim will remain shaky. Low friction mousepads make me shoot like that as well.
Great stuff man! Could you maybe do a guide on how to setup a game to practice nades and wallbangs and how to place bots and other useful console commands?
What he means by bad teammates: miss shots, don't callout info, bad nades The bad teammates I get: 4-squad votekicking me for fun and calling me names on my way out
Someone needs to teach this student that his excuses are only hurting himself. It's become more common in society these days, people have an excuse for everything.
I feel like in this case it wasn’t really him making excuses as much as it was him explaining what led to the mistakes, so that that logic could be corrected and him not make those mistakes again
I am bad at game but i put a lot of money in the game and i have gloves , skins, and a butterfly and i dont know how to put properly my crosshair placement
i've been watching your coaching a lot, it helps. Just out of curiosity, how do you hop into practice session solo with unlimited nades? i've been trying using consoles but the best I can do is re-buy the nade every use
Question! I am a main awper and its where I feel most deadly, but it feels like such a commitment in solo queue. Do you even recommend I awp? Should I just rifle as much as possible for most gun rounds? Level 6 faceit.
True but a lot of the top players have stellar comms. Even the game has the tagline: "Together we can do this." The top player can't win alone so they might as well be nice to the remaining four or it's gonna be a hard game. You're right that bad comms can't necessarily make me worse but in my meager 1500 hours they make everything better. Cheers.@@pienixcs
@@hattorihanzo562 I think he's communicated a good idea, badly. Good comms aren't relevant to your own performance: You need to be able to perform on your own when solo queuing. I find this is a huge problem for me, personally, because I'm a very team oriented player, I have lots of lineups, I'm willing to entry, and I can anchor a site, but I'm not the sort of guy who gets 4 kills on the a site round after round. If my team can't take advantage of my util, if they don't know how to trade off an entry, I need to make impact even when they're not helping, because otherwise I run the risk of being as useless as them. Good comms are great for team performance: But if you want to solo queue you are not always going to have them, if they are vital to you, you need to set up a squad and only play with them-I find this limits what new things you can learn personally. Some games your teammates are just not going to call and you're going to still have to manage to rotate, trade effectively off their peek when they didn't call the spot, etc. At the end of the day, unless you're willing to 5-stack every game, you are going to have to learn to perform without comms. Obviously good comms, where people communicate useful information, don't distract, and are positive is the ideal. But if you cannot perform without them, when you are forced to play without them which you will be solo queuing, you will suffer for it.
you have great knowlegde but to people you coach i suggest a few things once given feedback on a certain thing, dont be so harsh when you say it another time if it repeats in the demo another thing is the way of giving feedback is your tone of voice or the way you provide feedback, i suggest the sandwich method of saying something positive, then the actual feedback and then another positive thing, i know its a culture thing but some people might perceive you as hostile 😊 i like watching these vids and it teaches players to focus more into practical and puggy cs 😄 thanks for making these
@@pienixcsyeah keep doing what you’re doing man. Hammering students on mistakes will make sure they understand the issue. This dude saying “don’t be so mean” wouldn’t be a good teacher like you are.
Liking a lot in this vid. ...but struggling on the 'don't worry about comms' part. I guess if they arent making any attempts to have comms - you have to embrace that its not an option and move on. I've been trying to do this but its hard as a team with good comms is better. But its Solo que'in - so it is what it is
It's just that you don't get to choose whether your teammates have comms, so you have to perform with and without them. All you can do is set a good example. Say "hello" at round start, call your position, call info. Sometimes you're just going to get unlucky.
My teammates have trouble communicating all the time, but I know how to carry my own weight without them calling, I do communicate to my mates when I can though because it doesn't hurt.
Exactly, but you should still be aware without hearing the info. Comms are great but sometimes gotta deall with the game without them😅 What rank are you?
great video bro, thanks for this content, can u upload a video about nvidia settings, video settings, nvidia reflex, launch options, crosshair, etc. i love u bro thanks
Well, imo it's deeper psychological problem where they relate like that to themselves while learning new things - you know bashing yourself when you're not doing instantly good at smth - we've all been there
They're just bad players themselves. Comms are a part of the game-some people use them so badly that they make their team's overall performance worse. Some players comms are literally just a net negative. Sometimes if someone who is doing better steps in and points out "hey man, nobody ever won by tilting their teammates, lets try to build our man up instead of ripping him down", it'll help. End of the day, they're mad they're losing and lashing out at whatever is in reach. Easier to point fingers than try to find a solution, or see if you can perform better and personally turn it around.
In solo, there's kind of a verbal and nonverbal way you can communicate with your teammates to get everyone to 'flow' to the right bombsite. You can call out enemy positions and make smart plays to set your team up, or *maybe* you can have people wait for some grenades, but you won't be doing like, Ex6TenZ calls, and no one will know your team's exact shorthand. People also won't be drilled in spots and lineups in the way that you need. It's less important in solo, probably more important than the title indicates but not nearly as much as in a premade party.
@@Jitliunggood aim and gamesense. Sometimes its even easier than playing against a team that plays super weird and has better aim than you. I play solo a lot. Sometimes you get bad teammates and you're f..ed, but most times you can do a lot by just concentrating and acgually trying and not tilting
@@Jitliung Yeah but you can't pick that. If you're matched against a good coordinated team you'll probably be at a huge disadvantage, that's a different situation.
Oh and when say two words at the start of a game 'Hey Guys' and someone replies with STFU!!!..... oh CS :( Chances are we loosing this one... but again thats the part to be mentally stronger and move forward
Actually galil or mac10 or both mixed in the team is the best. Works way better 2 round than ak buy. Easier spray down if ct rushed, more bullets, more money if mac10, and galil is still good next round unless u die go for ak, pick up some m4 to galils and mac10s if possible. Losing a round at that point does not matter even tho it's not ideal bc the team is rich enough to buy the next 3 rounds. Using mac10 needs some utility ofc especially if ct force but couple of smokes and flashes should do it. Also the fact that possibly losing the 2nd or 3rd round galils to ct is not nearly as bad as giving them aks that point then u can just buy ak next and top them. Also sometimes jumps are good but at least for me jumping makes him easier kill especially if there is 2 of them with pistols.
@@pienixcs Yeah but galil is way more worthy instead of ak. Also the communication is not that big deal on that level yes but he is kind of right about that they should at least call the plan like if they wanna rush a or b or contact b etc. Nothing crazy just simple little things that can make the match way easier.
@@yeayea537 i dont think he ever said they shouldnt communicate. Hes making the point at this level that you cant rely on your team to communicate so you shouldnt even think about it. Should his teammates make a plan? Sure! Will they, most likely not so why get upset or annoyed with it and let it affect your game or be an excuse for why you played poorly
you shouldnt have the bomb if you are doing this smoke. so when your teammates scrap all tactics, what is he supposed to do? give the bomb to a teammate who isnt even playing the bomb?
the guy is litterally me but I'm 5x or 20x worse. glad i saw this from my algorithm. playing in asia server, I dont expect commuicate if we communicate it will get worst because everyone is not familiar with the map location. i just trust my own guts or whatever information available i see lmao
Your knife comes out to cover long distances quickly, or in smokes or close range, you should never have your knife out when in bomb spots, knives have become more about status and due to this status people use them incorrectly. New players should put their fancy new knives away until they learn how to use them properly.
8:55 "Getting the bomb down, it's a very good decision" - but not after literally dodging the AK on the floor, when he could have just picked it up and plant to default, instead of triple. Going to triple and then CT was just unnecessary. Not taking the AK immediately after the frag was just painful to watch. It wouldn't take a second to just walk over it, or even better, pick it up from behind the box. And a coach doesn't mention any of these? 😬
It's 1v4 with no kevlar on an eco - what we're going for here is building economy
11 หลายเดือนก่อน
@@pienixcs Sure, that's the main point but default plant is faster and you can always try to get 1-2 enemies down with an AK. I just missed that drive from the play. Leaving a one-tap HS rifle laying on the ground.. 🙃 It's just.. why?
@@pienixcs Don't get me wrong, I like the coaching pretty much. 🙃 I just carved my eyes out at that specific part because it went so unnoticed. And if players don't pick up free AKs in CS then what do they do?! 😀 When everything is to maximize your chances. But maybe he was watching something important that I usually don't, so whatever. Thanks for the content btw, it helps a lot.
never said he was, just said its stupid to spend so much when hes clearly brand new and even pays for your coaching too, most of what he needs to know could be found on yt for free but low level idiots will keep coming to you, good business model, i see your hustle gl@@pienixcs
Are you aware that he probably has more elo than you will ever have? You can't go much into details when you look at the mistakes the player made. Some things he said might be a bit oversimplified but they will work for a newer player
Ikr? so much flawed logic in here. Even if you're solo queue you shouldn't be just "going with your team" especially on a mid control heavy map like mirage where so many opportunities can be made by forcing the ct's timings. Many pros and higher ranked coaches even say this lol. Such a one dimensional mindset. I guess that's why this guy's hltv stats are rated poor across the board lol
He's giving beginner advice to someone who doesn't even have their crosshair placement down yet. I think it's all completely appropriate advice for this level @@majorminor8557
@@majorminor8557You only watched this one demp review of him. In case someone is missing such basics on a map it might be not that bad of an advice to ho with your team. Once he understands a bit more, he can make the "solo" lurk plays on A and B. In other demo reviews where the player played better he did go deeper in such things
@@didierno-cil He had 3750, enough for armour, helmet and ak, no util. pienixcs did point out that he likely would not need util as the enemy would not have a full buy.
@@pienixcs SMGs will most of the time be best/good enough, you get to buy util, you get more kill remard, the round does not end with an ak in CT's hands but hey don't overthing this you feel like buy ak then buy ak i could care
I hope extreme amount people watch this video and learn some basic shit... Even 2500+ ELO, you are shifting ramp to not give info and take entry on timing -> at least one teammate come elephant stepping clearly close enough for default to hear it and flashing/smoking over ramp, most times they won't even end up peeking ramp or fall back after missing 1 tap on con-player. Like if you're not going for spawn based +w kill, restricting information is easiest way to get advantage in duel (less likely pulling rotate, enemy might give you sound to best attack and higher chance of enemy losing focus over time without stimuli). I'm not as good as pienix mental so I tilt on this so much, like even calmly explain they dont understand.
Well you have good understanding of this and it can be annoying that other ppl dont get it, but yea you should have no expectations regarding your teammates - just play your best game and dont give a fuck about anything else
I was in 1v1 situation yesterday in level 7, the enemy planted on mirage in b site for market and i came from short, i fake def real quick and tried to move closer towards market while keeping my eyes on window market and the guy was actually bench but because i moved a little he missed and then i was going towards him and i had an mp9 and i tried to jump and shoot since i was right next to the bench and somehow i missed even though i saw the bullets going behind and through him and this level 7 teammate in solo q was crying "why do you jump with mp9 you lost like 50% accuracy" i swear lvl 7 knows nothing about this game...you could use tips from professionals and from coaches and it doesn't matter there's still gonna be that guy that doesn't know anything about the game but complain why someone does something even though that "something" is the right thing to do
so you are saying com is not to care? wtf you dont even know why its essential bc you have a team if you have a sp then you dont care about info from coms but ok i mean telling ppl shit is the only thing you can do right? as a slavic people they are the same trolling and dont com bc they cant communicate normally without toxic behaviour like me right now thats what i get every cs2 match even in faceit so the russian and ukrainian are all the same you give a good example xD
@@pienixcs Yeah none of the highlight stuff or other buttons do nothing and at least for me the enemies are like just sliding without running animations sometimes T posing and the guns and knives just float through the hands all the time :D
This might be an unpopular opinion, but "communication is overrated" is just wrong. Having teammates that communicate well will completely make or break the game play experience. In the context of the play that was being discussed, perhaps it was correct; but to make this a whole topic to the extent that it made the thumbnail? Nah.
Keep these up! As a level 7 pushing to 10 these help a lot, even though much of it is covering basics, I find it helps. Thanks ❤
Will do Nick ✌

Sad that YPRAC maps aren't in the workshop yet. Many reps on those maps helped my crosshair placement tremendously.

What elo is this guy? Could you introduce them at the start of the video? because he's clearly not close to lvl 10
Beginner lvl, I took that advice to latest vids ;)
Never said he's lvl 10 though what made you think that?
@@pienixcs there's different faceit levels in the thumbnails
@@bloodsN oh yea that's just a bait
then consistently bait with lvl 10 lol@@pienixcs
@@bloodsN mb 😂
how much you charge for 2 hour coaching?
metafy.gg/@pienix - here's my page, feel free to add me on discord pienix for more details
I don't understand why some people think it's okay to pick on a beginner who's still learning the game...
Well, imo it's deeper psychological problem where they relate like that to themselves while learning new things - you know bashing yourself when you're not doing instantly good at smth - we've all been there
They're just bad players themselves. Comms are a part of the game-some people use them so badly that they make their team's overall performance worse. Some players comms are literally just a net negative. Sometimes if someone who is doing better steps in and points out "hey man, nobody ever won by tilting their teammates, lets try to build our man up instead of ripping him down", it'll help.
End of the day, they're mad they're losing and lashing out at whatever is in reach. Easier to point fingers than try to find a solution, or see if you can perform better and personally turn it around.
«Why would you need communication?» bruh communication get you so far even i solo
Playing solo is very difficult because no one listens to anything, even when you ask to throw a flash, no one does.
In solo, there's kind of a verbal and nonverbal way you can communicate with your teammates to get everyone to 'flow' to the right bombsite. You can call out enemy positions and make smart plays to set your team up, or *maybe* you can have people wait for some grenades, but you won't be doing like, Ex6TenZ calls, and no one will know your team's exact shorthand. People also won't be drilled in spots and lineups in the way that you need. It's less important in solo, probably more important than the title indicates but not nearly as much as in a premade party.
solo vs solo is fine
but if im getting matched with full stack it become nightmares for me
theres no counter to fully coordinated team with basic comm
@@Jitliunggood aim and gamesense. Sometimes its even easier than playing against a team that plays super weird and has better aim than you. I play solo a lot. Sometimes you get bad teammates and you're f..ed, but most times you can do a lot by just concentrating and acgually trying and not tilting
@@Jitliung Yeah but you can't pick that. If you're matched against a good coordinated team you'll probably be at a huge disadvantage, that's a different situation.
Oh and when say two words at the start of a game 'Hey Guys' and someone replies with STFU!!!..... oh CS :(
Chances are we loosing this one... but again thats the part to be mentally stronger and move forward
Damn, sounds like a real mental challenge🥋💯
Guy has a deagle and 1500$ last round💀

Actually galil or mac10 or both mixed in the team is the best. Works way better 2 round than ak buy. Easier spray down if ct rushed, more bullets, more money if mac10, and galil is still good next round unless u die go for ak, pick up some m4 to galils and mac10s if possible. Losing a round at that point does not matter even tho it's not ideal bc the team is rich enough to buy the next 3 rounds. Using mac10 needs some utility ofc especially if ct force but couple of smokes and flashes should do it. Also the fact that possibly losing the 2nd or 3rd round galils to ct is not nearly as bad as giving them aks that point then u can just buy ak next and top them. Also sometimes jumps are good but at least for me jumping makes him easier kill especially if there is 2 of them with pistols.
mac-10 is not bad, it's just that ak-47 is better
@@pienixcs Yeah but galil is way more worthy instead of ak. Also the communication is not that big deal on that level yes but he is kind of right about that they should at least call the plan like if they wanna rush a or b or contact b etc. Nothing crazy just simple little things that can make the match way easier.
@@yeayea537 i dont think he ever said they shouldnt communicate. Hes making the point at this level that you cant rely on your team to communicate so you shouldnt even think about it. Should his teammates make a plan? Sure! Will they, most likely not so why get upset or annoyed with it and let it affect your game or be an excuse for why you played poorly
@@itGurt Still pretty weird to say any cs player on any level that communication isn't important especially if u are coaching him
@@itGurt So your logic is that if u have a problem solve it by not solving it mmkay.
I today played with teammates that just walked into my molotoves... and i have now 7 day penalization...
Happened to me before, not fun :/
you shouldnt have the bomb if you are doing this smoke. so when your teammates scrap all tactics, what is he supposed to do? give the bomb to a teammate who isnt even playing the bomb?
Just leave bomb top mid
the guy is litterally me but I'm 5x or 20x worse. glad i saw this from my algorithm. playing in asia server, I dont expect commuicate if we communicate it will get worst because everyone is not familiar with the map location. i just trust my own guts or whatever information available i see lmao
Yea exactly sometimes you gotta be aware of what's going on without hearing info
thanks bra
Your knife comes out to cover long distances quickly, or in smokes or close range, you should never have your knife out when in bomb spots, knives have become more about status and due to this status people use them incorrectly. New players should put their fancy new knives away until they learn how to use them properly.
I mean, in general having a knife out is not a big adventage 😂
Beginner player with a Howl and Butterfly Doppler? O_O
Yup🤭
Well, we don't know what the coaching costs :)
Is this really lvl 10 gameplay?
Yes
8:55 "Getting the bomb down, it's a very good decision" - but not after literally dodging the AK on the floor, when he could have just picked it up and plant to default, instead of triple. Going to triple and then CT was just unnecessary. Not taking the AK immediately after the frag was just painful to watch. It wouldn't take a second to just walk over it, or even better, pick it up from behind the box. And a coach doesn't mention any of these? 😬
It's 1v4 with no kevlar on an eco - what we're going for here is building economy
@@pienixcs Sure, that's the main point but default plant is faster and you can always try to get 1-2 enemies down with an AK. I just missed that drive from the play. Leaving a one-tap HS rifle laying on the ground.. 🙃 It's just.. why?
Picking it up is not a bad idea - obviously@
@@pienixcs Don't get me wrong, I like the coaching pretty much. 🙃 I just carved my eyes out at that specific part because it went so unnoticed. And if players don't pick up free AKs in CS then what do they do?! 😀 When everything is to maximize your chances. But maybe he was watching something important that I usually don't, so whatever. Thanks for the content btw, it helps a lot.
some people have more money than sense, all these skins for a game where you don't comprehend even the most basic ideas
He's not earning money by playing CS brother :) It's like being mad at ppl driving ferrari coz they're not professional drivers - makes no sense 🤣
never said he was, just said its stupid to spend so much when hes clearly brand new and even pays for your coaching too, most of what he needs to know could be found on yt for free but low level idiots will keep coming to you, good business model, i see your hustle gl@@pienixcs
the next gold nova who think he is a cs trainer 😂
Are you aware that he probably has more elo than you will ever have?
You can't go much into details when you look at the mistakes the player made. Some things he said might be a bit oversimplified but they will work for a newer player
I'm not even nova, not playing MM unfortunately :/
@@pienixcs "unfortunately" 😂
yeah
Comment for the algo, great vid
Lessgo 🔥 appreciate 🙏
Whats ur elo? I dont agree with a lot of stuff you said, doesnt seem like your that high
Pretty sure 4k. He has an HLTV page I think that says something
Ikr? so much flawed logic in here. Even if you're solo queue you shouldn't be just "going with your team" especially on a mid control heavy map like mirage where so many opportunities can be made by forcing the ct's timings. Many pros and higher ranked coaches even say this lol. Such a one dimensional mindset. I guess that's why this guy's hltv stats are rated poor across the board lol
He's giving beginner advice to someone who doesn't even have their crosshair placement down yet. I think it's all completely appropriate advice for this level @@majorminor8557
@@majorminor8557You only watched this one demp review of him. In case someone is missing such basics on a map it might be not that bad of an advice to ho with your team. Once he understands a bit more, he can make the "solo" lurk plays on A and B. In other demo reviews where the player played better he did go deeper in such things
Adding that he didn't even tell him to only go with his team. He said it is one good option.
ak round 2 ? why
Why not?
@@pienixcs no helmets, big trouble if you lose it
@@didierno-cil Wait what do you mean if you lose it? If you buy smth else how does it mean less trouble?
@@didierno-cil He had 3750, enough for armour, helmet and ak, no util. pienixcs did point out that he likely would not need util as the enemy would not have a full buy.
@@pienixcs SMGs will most of the time be best/good enough, you get to buy util, you get more kill remard, the round does not end with an ak in CT's hands
but hey don't overthing this you feel like buy ak then buy ak i could care
I hope extreme amount people watch this video and learn some basic shit... Even 2500+ ELO, you are shifting ramp to not give info and take entry on timing -> at least one teammate come elephant stepping clearly close enough for default to hear it and flashing/smoking over ramp, most times they won't even end up peeking ramp or fall back after missing 1 tap on con-player. Like if you're not going for spawn based +w kill, restricting information is easiest way to get advantage in duel (less likely pulling rotate, enemy might give you sound to best attack and higher chance of enemy losing focus over time without stimuli). I'm not as good as pienix mental so I tilt on this so much, like even calmly explain they dont understand.
Well you have good understanding of this and it can be annoying that other ppl dont get it, but yea you should have no expectations regarding your teammates - just play your best game and dont give a fuck about anything else
Crosshair oh my lord
😂
Hes just gotta get more reps in, hes hurting on the basics
Agreed
Guess to high mouse sense.
Not really, just shaky hands
I was in 1v1 situation yesterday in level 7, the enemy planted on mirage in b site for market and i came from short, i fake def real quick and tried to move closer towards market while keeping my eyes on window market and the guy was actually bench but because i moved a little he missed and then i was going towards him and i had an mp9 and i tried to jump and shoot since i was right next to the bench and somehow i missed even though i saw the bullets going behind and through him and this level 7 teammate in solo q was crying "why do you jump with mp9 you lost like 50% accuracy" i swear lvl 7 knows nothing about this game...you could use tips from professionals and from coaches and it doesn't matter there's still gonna be that guy that doesn't know anything about the game but complain why someone does something even though that "something" is the right thing to do
I mean, he was right - you're not supposed to jump with mp9 my man
so you are saying com is not to care? wtf you dont even know why its essential bc you have a team if you have a sp then you dont care about info from coms but ok i mean telling ppl shit is the only thing you can do right? as a slavic people they are the same trolling and dont com bc they cant communicate normally without toxic behaviour like me right now thats what i get every cs2 match even in faceit so the russian and ukrainian are all the same you give a good example xD
Yea man totally - communication in CS is so useless that's exactly what I meant
Basically you need to work on everything LOL.
Well, sometimes it be like that
Respectfully, you look nothing like I expected lol.
What do you mean haha
man the cs2 demos are so broken xd
Still are lol
@@pienixcs Yeah none of the highlight stuff or other buttons do nothing and at least for me the enemies are like just sliding without running animations sometimes T posing and the guns and knives just float through the hands all the time :D
why does this guy have skins if hes missing the most basic skills in cs
Why not?
He's put his time into other things apart from CS and got the money
Now he's just chillin in CS flexing on them broke boys
This might be an unpopular opinion, but "communication is overrated" is just wrong. Having teammates that communicate well will completely make or break the game play experience.
In the context of the play that was being discussed, perhaps it was correct; but to make this a whole topic to the extent that it made the thumbnail? Nah.
Dude it's a clickbait obviously😅
all skins no wins
Rather that than no skins no wins😂
I AM BAD AT THIS GAME BUT NOT AS BAD AS THAT GUY WTF
He's not bad for the amount of time he has in the game
all them skins and no skill…
Why does it matter? He's beginner learning how to play - let the man enjoy his skins :)
im not sure you can teach common sense, keep trying though i guess. You honestly play like most silvers i see.

Why did bro look at me like that at 14:26 made me blush 🥹🤣🤣
