You forgot level 0. The one where everyone stacks A site and people forget to go B and then B site gets rushed by T. This happens a few times until people realize it and finally send maybe like one guy B.
Voo, the production of your videos has intensely improved in the last months. When you started I remember most of your videos being just walking around an empty map explaining extremely situational stuff without much visual help, but lately videos like this are insanely good and taught me a lot of things! Thanks for sticking with video making and improving your craft :D
Great video once again. Slight side note: I do see a lot of people just walking out of palace at faceit lvl 10, just because most pug teams focus so heavily on Mid. I often play solo A as a CT and get caught a lot from palace sadly. Sometimes they just climb down the ladder and shoot you in the back. Even after 3 lost rounds due to palaces pushes and no mid pressence, the connector / A-Player give prio to mid.
CSGO Silver is a mysterious rank in the entirety of gaming. You will find absolute idiots, 9y/o kids, 69 y/o boomers, godlike players, cheaters and people who got lost 420 years ago
@@tickshot yes trust me.some silvers are really stuck and they are actually really good players. People think they are smurfs but they are not. My friend is stuck in silver for lots of years and he plays good so sometimes enemy calls him smurf, but he isnt. He did not wanted this
@@cyprian4869 everyone either speaks russian and english, communications are that much of an issue. also my times playing on NA even in LE/Supreme have been much easier than eu
Professional moves there really will help us to improve in the game. Think about it, when tabsen was pushing the connector to try and attempt to kill Niko, he failed, but it was all like a chess game lol.
14:30 is this not a thing people think of? If I'm AWPing mid, I always thinking about going to the site rather than staying in market because it get so cluttered if there's even two players there, so if I stay there and the next guy comes in we're just going to bump in to each other and I'll inevitably get triggered by it.
The skin of the medic saved me once actually because of the nonexistent Hitbox of the backpack. It was in a 1v1 Situation on Inferno, with me having an M4 and the enemy playing an awp. I was able to get the bomb on A, with the enemy on long. After killing the bombcarryer I hide behind the box to libary hearing him scoping. When I thought he should come around, i moved. While moving, he jumped on the box and shoot at me. The bullet went straigth through the backpack and I got the round :D
Sick video :) Could you do a video of 4 different lvls of how to take a certain position as a T? And how to hold it as a ct. In lower leves, I find they it's super easy to take, say short B on Overpass. But on higger lvls they molly it and flash, doubble push ect.
Honestly this just left me wanting more, I have a 20% win rate in mirage out of 10 games, but I still don't feel comfortable playing it after watching this. Just felt like there was lots you didn't cover.
Lol same, mirage is my worst map, I'm just in a constant state of indecision and I struggle holding mid and being an A defender as a CT. And on T side, I know about a bajillion smokes and flashes but it's that situation where I wish I could throw them all myself instead of asking a team mate to throw a B short/window smoke and then getting shot in the back as they either fuck it up or don't know it
@@omster_ exactly, I know the smokes, flashes, mollies, when to smoke ramp or apps, but otherwise just not how to play the map, where to position, rotate, etc. And solo Qing doesn't help either.
Bruh, why are you even watching guide videos if you have barely played cs. Enjoy it and embrace being a noob for a couple hundred hours and learn by playing before learning any of this stuff.
Great video, thanks always for your content! Would you consider doing a video on Zywoo? It’s said he has some of the best gamesense in the scene and I’d love to see you breakdown his game style and how Zywoo approaches the game. Perhaps going even further by adding a new series on your channel here that breaks down individual professional’s game style? Thanks!
I’m very new to CSGO (I did play 1.6 in like 2005 but I was 12) and your videos have been immensely helpful. I was worried to play comp because I don’t want to make my teammates mad because I make stupid plays sometimes. With your help I’ve learned a lot about utility usage which is something I can very easily help my team with. I have pretty good aim and with lots of practice I am getting much better at recoil control while spraying. I pretty much stick to Inferno because it’s the most familiar to me from 1.6 (dust is very familiar but is a broken map imo). This video makes me want to get a few games of Mirage in today. Thanks for the ever insightful videos. Hopefully I will be out of Silver eventually but I have to say, it’s a very fitting skill group for me right now.
@@betterhansin Ya know europe is a big place with lots of languages right? I’d call it fence bc thats what it is, I can see why its called jail just never heard it before
I just played mirage... One guy gave up and left and 2 others team killed me and were throwing while insulting everyone in the game for "having no life"...so glad broken fang is free now it's just great.
I am avoiding broken fang since I can only play mirage and dust lol. I used to play on cache and inferno but that’s from my silver days so I’m gonna get rekt if I try to do it now
Just noticed one thing you don't take into account is your teammates telling you where they saw enemies and how many, and the guy looking at the minimap and seeing where the players are. Also playing "correct" in mm isn't always good because your teammates can let you down
In low Ranks they smokes and molo ramp / palace so early cuz there is no meta , they just run out A or B in the beginning of the round , so you want atleast to stop that rush before u get in a position
10:42 they cant have 2b 1mid 1a at a 3v4 cuz the mid guy has to worry about connector, short AND someone boosting window, all of the above spots have to be watched all the time
I think the molly is often wasted at A ramp at the start of each round by the CT's. First person to site can often smoke A ramp straight away and beat the T's even with the T's best spawn. If they push out after then a molly can be thrown infront and quite often its the easiest hold ever with a smoke and a molly on the other side. Molly's saved for "more obvious" pushes are always the best line of defence, especially on Mirage since T's use most of their smokes in the inevitable push and have nothing left to extinguish the molly.
How did you get to recreate that round BIG messed up by missing the shot on Niko? I noticed the "bot Niko" getting killed to simulate how the play should've been. Great video!
@Tee Wzla You don't know any of that because you have not seen any of his demos and you said he plays like a nova 2 lmao. If you're a nova 2 and top fragging consistently in MG means you should be higher than gn2. Sure he may have mistakes but he can clearly hold his own in MG games if he is top fragging.
@Tee Wzla The problem is that you're assuming without any context as if people who say they are stuck in a rank only go for exit frags. GN2 to MG1 is a 3 rank difference, if you can top frag even when getting only exit frags in a game full of people with ranks 3 above yours then you deserve to be at least 1 or 2 ranks higher than your current rank. Top fragging with only exit frags is harder than it sounds, you have to get your positioning perfect every round and be prepared to 1v(how many are coming at you, usually 2 or more if they are decent players) so you can't kill all of them even if they are unprepared which in mg1 they probably are. I don't understand what's with people like you just assuming things left and right thinking they are right because their favorite youtuber voocsgo said it.
voo I live in vancouver (play mostly on US WEST), is there anything i can do about imbalanced matchmaking games? if i queue alone i get random ranks on both teams and the game devolves to a frag hunt on bad players pushing nonsensically, if i queue with my friends we stomp every game and it's no fun. im currently MGE, what can i do to find enjoyable games? i figure you might have thoughts on this as i understand you live in the same region as me.
Heya, i'm a bit late and i'm not from the USA lmao but i recommend you to play on Faceit or ESEA if you're not doing it, in many senses, it's better and there's less cheaters over there :D
these videos are really helpful! i have about 100 hours in the game right now and im afraid to play ranked incase i get gold or something but after watching all these i might give it a go
I think its kinda weird that you put lvl 5 in intermediate and global into advanced. I dont know if this is different in NA but in eu most people who are "average" globals are around lvl 5-6 so they either should be advanced aswell or global should be intermediate
Voo what's happened to the road to global? It's taking a while and no new content on the series, are you still stuck in DMG? Surely with your knowledge and skills you must be SMFC by now? Whe can we expect the next video in the series?
Not at all, using molly on A ramp and a nade is very effective to stop rushes, and the flashbang is an early allow to peek mid. Obviously, don't do it all of the rounds
@@YuGoXDD i mean there's just 500 levels of CS so trying to put it into 4 categories is never going to be all that effective. if advanced is faceit 10+ then intermediate would have to be like 6-10 and beginner would have to literally be up until nearly global. it's a struggle.
