This is something I´ve noticed after I switched to much lower sensitivity. I miss the freedom of having high sens, as Launders says: You have more freedom to look around you and to feel "safer" in a way. But to be honest, I feel safer in a way knowing that I will commit to this angle without worrying too much about the flanks or behind me. It relieves me of the pressure of having to cover multiple angles at once and it also forces me to play on info more. My AWP flicks are way better as well, even though I am not the regular AWPer among the people I play with. I would recommend lower sensitivity to anyone who seem to struggle with their mechanics and aim. You need a big mousepad as well. My last argument for lower sensitivity is that your muscles and physical movement becomes easier to remember. If you need to micro adjust all the time (in sprays for example), then your brain will not register a steady pattern. But if you run on low sens, the patterns of which you move your hands or pull down your mouse in sprays will be more cemented and logical for your brain to remember. This is purely an opinion, but I really think lowering your sensitivity can up your game tons.
I just increased my sense to flick at angles faster cause my mousepad is small, gonna go back to low sen cause i noticed after this that i am distracted easily
at 20:45, he's aiming at that lamp because if someone crosses in front of it, the light disappears from the smoke and you know that someone just tried to jump into window through the smoke.
There's something really tranquil and relaxing about these deeeemo reviews. I really like the concept because it makes it so much easier to appreciate just how much calculation goes into what just one particular player is doing. Also, I just love seeing the aesthetics of all the different styles in the game. Loving the daily uploads btw
FUN FACT ABOUT FAZE: over the last 3 months-ish, Rain is the highest HLTV rated player in CT side pistol, while Broky is highest HLTV rated player in T side pistol.
broky had so many glock clutches, its insane. An rain.. What a pistol beast. He can play literally every pistol in the game and turn around a round by himself. Lately a bit less, so I hope they can activate him more by giving him more agressive tasks and set him up more.
@@niigu "turn around a round by himself" Somehow this part triggered a flashback of rains inferno 1v3 with p250 just running through the smoke I think in arch and insta headshotting all three.
Sup Lau. Just wanted to say how much I appreciate these demo reviews. Seeing a full half/match from these guys instead of just highlights really helps me understand where and how I can improve myself as a player. I've recently dropped my sense from 800dpi 4 to 2 since I noticed (thanks to your extra info) that pros generally play low sens and it was a huge game changer to my mouse mechanics. Maybe a request I'd make is if you could review the Mythic v Liquid or Chaos demo? It was interesting to see the difference in raw ability but it would also be nice to hear your perspective on how Mythic was outplayed regarding utility and positioning. Thanks a million! Can't wait for another demo.
@@Tapport Yeah I guessed it had to do with that. When I got a big mouse pad I lower mine. Before it was like yours I think, maybe higher. High sens is fun tho
I've played cs for about 7 years now and I found your channel a couple of weeks ago, I just want to thank you for the way you analise and look at the game, I started enjoying cs so much more ever since I started trying to look at the game the same way you do, amazing channel keep up the awesome work, defenitly one of my favorite casters too, much love
Not gonna lie even if niko doesn't have the best stats he is more impactful than many top pros, he has most opening kills in every tournament and guy dont bait/last player so gets traded most of times
4:09 English Major here, you not only used congeal properly, but you used it beautifully, and it was a better and more accurate verb to use than reinforce. Congeal is often used to describe things that are combined slowly or through the process of cooling or sitting. So it was perfect to use when describing the development of being passively aware of the angles that people hold. I know you're a caster and pay attention to your verbage, and just want you to know that this guy appreciates your vocabulary. Love your videos man
PLEASE do more Nico POV's. This is helping so much in relation to timing, thought process, crosshair placement, peaks and effective protocols. Thanks a ton. Hope to contribute more to my team with this
Just wanna say that I mega appreciate that you copy the resolution of the players whose demos you're reviewing every time. Such a nice little touch that I feel like barely anyone does when breaking down demos, especially since so many top players play in 4:3
17:58 i saw this fight from TeSeS' perspective when I watched the stream and thought that he got absolutely deleted. Looks way easier from Niko's perspective.
Good crosshair placement and click timing are so huge. If you can 1tap people without having to always flick its a such an advantage. It may seem counterintuitive but getting frags with the least movement of your mouse is faster and more optimal
Yeah a lot of duels in CS look like that, it's kinda weird. One guy can see all of you and you can barely see them, so you just die before you can even get a bullet off pretty much.
People forget how important the keyboard is for aiming. Niko’s keyboard movement and precision is just as impressive as his mouse movement and precision
Earlier when you asked if we liked the webcam, I said I'd like it if you didn't add it. After watching a bunch of these with the webcam, I can say I was wrong. I really like having it, it makes it feel more personal. I feel like I'm getting coached up by Launders, which is dope. Keep on pumping these out man, I love them!
Would love to watch a t side niko's pov! Also, loving the format, the brief introduction, the webcam etc, I hadn't watched any of your videos for a while now and you improved a lot!
shoutouts to you launders for making these indepth videos you guys really have done great things for this game & csgo wouldn't be the same without the people casting it, making content, trying to help the community become better smarter players, i used to hate this game i was so bad at it but watching people like voo, thewarowl, anomaly, nadeking, machine, lau, spun, scrawny, etc i said to myself wow these people are passionate about their craft let me see how i can improve so after being stuck in silver for what seems like a century i have finally hit gold & i plan on climbing the ranks but also really working on improving more & more as a player
Unsure about the duel at 17:20, I think TeSeS actually has the advantage there as he is further away from the corner allowing him to see him first despite being left handed peek. Love the vids though mate, especially the ones focusing on mechanics of top players. More on niko honestly :D
@@allbrosdjay Honestly, Teses was so far away from the wall the right vs left doesn't really apply, its only if you are at similar distances afaik. Yeah TeSeS definitely outplayed him here
I feel like people over exaggerate the advantage of a left eye peek vs the distance you are peeking from a wall. If you peek close to a wall and your opponent is far away from it, he will be able to see your shoulder way before you see him. I would 100% say that the FIRST thing you need to look for in an engagment is the distance each player has from the wall that is being peeked from, THEN you take into consideration the left/right-eye peek. This is the timestamp i am refering to: th-cam.com/video/gEPUSbWKlqQ/w-d-xo.html
Yes agreed, can we see Nikos T side he’s a beast. And I saw his interview today after the game against vitality and he’s abs right. When faze plays scared they’re gonna lose, when faze plays aggressive they win.
i see your niko being top 5 players but i'll raise you swag what a god he could do everything & his playstyle was unbelievable, what an upredictable player he could have really shaped csgo if he didn't get banned from these events him & stewie together would have been insane for sure
Actually, the prosettings page is wrong about Niko's resolution. He's using 1152x864 stretched. Or something like that. Anyways, thanks for this awesome video. It really helps me to improve
Here they were confident, but the problem is like said by many igls, faze doesn't have any unique strats, they rely on defaults to much and star power, this is inconsistent,
I think they do that setup is either a counter from some demos they've watched or a counter to anti eco since they wanna focus on the site itself instead of searching for info and potentially giving off kills. I feel like it's the kind of strat that relies on skills and less info
personality i think dpi matters more than sensi, i was playing 2.0 sensi with 1200 dpi but was missing shots, few months ago i read a thread why dpi should be low like 400/800, and 400 was the best for me and its a major change in my stats.
The thing about NiKo is that he barely puts himself in 1v1 situation whenever he does not have to, his aim is GOD-tier and can be in par with some of the best aimers of the world. He is for me the perfect definition of perfection. You can put him in any position and he'll be a top 5 (ATLEAST) player in the world, he can also become a top 5 awper, pistol player and rifler if he wants to because of how phenomenal he is.
I just thought of something. How about doing a video on games that has just been played? Would be cool to tune in to a specific player after you just saw it live. I think it would help the viewer too because we'd already know the result and be invested in the game ect. :)
Hey launders, love the vod reviews. Could I request one on in my opinion one of the greatest, most consistent players of all time, Device? Thanks again!
Can you please explain me the concept you're talking about at 17:30? I've heard it so many times, I just can't wrap my head around it and I don't know how to use it to my advantage.. I've heard you mention it when holding a smoke as well, I can't remember which video though, teses one maybe?

Made my morning with this comment thanks man 🥰
I have strong reason to believe that Niko is the type of guy who never grew out of the phase where we all wore Nike elite socks and neon Nike hoodies.
Bosnians xD
4:19 the word you were looking for was "cement".
Great video!
I think he's getting back into form and the last couple of games he's been showing up a lot more
Because he changed his res to 1152, he always changes res and sens thats why his aim is scuffed sometimes
Not gonna lie even if niko doesn't have the best stats he is more impactful than many top pros, he has most opening kills in every tournament and guy dont bait/last player so gets traded most of times
@@alexrubanov264 I know that's what I meant like when he changed back to 1024 he was a god for a week and then plateud, probs happening again now
Niko and Xantares are my two favorite players for crosshair placement when peaking in the game they just are so perfect at it...
Sadly one is a smart consistent player one is not

Thanks for doing these videos. I don’t think people are out there doing it like this and it’s super informative. Keep up the great work.

Also you mentioning the mindset of watching demos is such a GOLD tidbit of information that everyone who wants to be good at cs needs to know.
