This is from a Q&A I did on stream talking about some AIM fundamentals that pertain specifically to CS:GO. Of course a lot of viewers will watch many games and have different FPS backgrounds but I thought it would be good to go over what I feel are primary concepts for CS:GO specifically and explain what most people should be thinking about when entering aim duels. If you like this kind of content let me know, if not also let me know I figured even though its kind of raw from the stream some people can find some useful advice here as I know there are a lot of newer players in CS.

launders! I am coming here from Flashpoint Astralis vs MouseSports. I knew it would be useless to write this in Twitch chat. I want to thank you for such great casting! It is such a relive and pleasure to listen to you compared to other casters! Especially I enjoy your concrete analysis of strategy, anti-strating and also pointing out important details that are not obvious for us. We can see you are actually engaged and sharp during the matches! Your vocab is also surprisingly rich! I watched this video about aiming earlier the day it is great as well! thank you!
ah thank you so much for the comment viacheslav :) means a lot that you took the time to write me. hope you have a wonderful day :D
Man I was silver back in 2014 when I used to watch your bhopping tutorial vids, now I'm level 10 faceit. It's nice to see you're still teaching people how to play :)
oh wow, congrats man! I used to watch his swag's crosshair placement videos and such and im glad he's still doing videos like this.
damn, congrats! so happy to hear that :D
Same, or I started in 2015 as a silver 1! Now i’m at 2600 elo peek wishing to hit 3k some day
I've been sending people to steel's "How to aim better" for six years. This video is the new gold standard. Absolutely fantastic.
Ron rambo kim is right up there too. Mechanics are the fundamentals. People don't realise the importance of posture, mouse grip, etc. Just grinding out is really stupid.

@Ayush Tripathi oh bhai 😂
@@therealb888 Mouse grip? Shouldn't you play mouse grip that is natural for your hand?
I just sent my friend launders’ vid on swag’s aim
instructions unclear,
choked the Boston Major.
That whole segment about falling asleep when holding an angle versus the guy who is peeking is always 100% ready is the realest thing ever and every player is different in that regard. I cant personally hold a single angle more than 10 seconds at full alertness and when I notice that happening I try to do little jiggles with my movement and mouse to stay alert, maybe switch up the angle ever so slightly. But I dont remember to do that every single time and I end up adding needless reaction time when the guy finally comes to peek.
I think many people focus too much on just raw aim with only training aim via aim botz dm etc, you should do a bit of everything mechanics come over time naturally by playing same as game sense. Best way to get better is to not worry about specifics and just play the damn game boys :D (ofc its still useful to play stuff like dm but only dm nothing else aint it chief)
This isn't exactly true. Mechanics are probably the most important factor. Blindly grinding it out is inefficient. If you can make consistent routine with posture, grip, distance from monitor, etc you'll see improvement much faster. It's just like learning the game.
@@therealb888 I think he means purely building “raw aim” via DM and shooting bots.
Whereas most players would benefit more from learning crosshair placement, how to peek, how to hold, when to us an off angle, when/why/how to throw your utility etc.
There are things players can drill to help incorporate it into their game, but a lot of players only practice their aim alone.
This is why I never do aim maps or dm as practice, just as warmup. For practice I play execute servers
You need a balance, at the end of the day.
If we divide up types of practice into different categories, and you could only focus on one, working on raw aim / movement would probably be the best one to work on, for the fastest gains, HOWEVER if you combine those with other forms of practice, you avoid the issue of diminishing returns. Always lean towards practicing what you're worst at (not what you're good at), keep the practice varied, and you'll improve way quicker than you ever thought you could.
@@MrDucktastic Remember when Blamef killed like 10000 bots a day lol
i always been saying good aim cs is less about hitting shots, its about not missing them, and what i mean by that is that you need to hit the shots in the situations you set yourself up to win, if you win a fight you shouldnt have, thats always a nice bonus, but many people try to compensate for bad positioning with playing aim maps for hours a day, when if your positioning is good, half the work is already done
While I do agree aim is still the most imporant part of cs. Whether you like it or not, you're going to have a lot of 50/50 and disadvantaged duels in a game even if you play the other aspects of the game perfectly, and having good aim helps you win those fights.
I've been focusing on my counter-strafing and the way I do different peeks lately, biggest improvement I've seen in a while regarding aim and it's all keyboard mechanics
People wonder why NiKo is so good, obviously there are a lot of factors in his skill. That man can jiggle, swing, commit, wide peek, all ABSOLUTELY pixel perfectly, and imo even though there are other players with better aim on top he might even have the best keyboard control among the top players.
i think xantares is the best example of crosshair placement and clearing angles, watching his demos you’ll realise he almost jitter peaks with tiny little micro steps to clear off angles or angles they won’t be prepared for you to check, and when getting to the common angles he will swing wider, i’m not saying to wide swing every common angles but mixing it up from wide swings, jiggle peak for info then crouch swing, shoulder peak. just mixing it up as much as you can. mm be prepared to be called a cheater once you master this
Any certain demos
Im a simple man
I see launders notification i go watch
Smoothing is also a very important mechanic of CS. Not every peek is a swing. learning how to smooth corners while walking and running is very important for winning duels in all kinds of situations. Too often players set themselves up to pre-aim positions, or jiggle peek. One thing that this kind of aiming does not account for is being peeked. The ability to move and hold your crosshair away from a wall (anticipating a swing from your opponent) will help win fights on bombsites, or against players who try to catch a timing on you: a player who is waiting to swing while you pre-aim some angle in that area. Smoothing also can be very valuable to clear off-angles mid round. The nuke hut example is a perfect demonstration of this. If you jiggle peek all those small angles to clear hut, you run the risk of having a poor pre-aim. You may also jiggle onto your opponents screen, allowing them to swing on you before you can react. Smoothing can help deal with these kinds of off-angles, and keep your crosshair in a position to fight a player who may swing out from a position.
Wow
I learned from that
Fair point and well said!
Launders so based uploading during work
Crouching in silver
Pros: better weapon handling
Cons: you are more likely to get shot in the head
Yup
This actually isn't correct anymore, most upper level silvers know to aim at head height
unless you just crouch peek and let them call you cheater
@@benjaminchen4367 I regularly see MGE’s that aim at the floor. It may be a regional difference because I play on South Africa servers, but that sounds like cap to me
I don’t recommend crouching in silver because people aim lower. And you might just put your face right into their crosshair.
Ron rambo kim is right up there too. Mechanics are the fundamentals. People don't realise the importance of posture, mouse grip, etc. Just grinding out is really stupid.
Man, ever since I watched your videos, I ranked up from MG2 to LE. Really helpful. Thanks!
Glad to hear that!
Playing for like 4500 hours soon. And only in the last 500 did I focus on my own performance more: playing in a proper team, daily aim warmup routines, demo reviews, CS content consumption, looking at statistics, finding my own nades and most importantly - peaking correctly. Getting far distance and lot of speed to counter strafe narrowly. It's difficult to get your fundamentals correct during a game - but doing it for 40 hours a week does help.
Namaste Launders, your commentary is like hearing an Analyst analysing the game in real real time.
It's crazy for how many years csgo has been around and still we are lacking so much of this great content for lower tier players to learn! Keep it up Boi
I love that launders respond some of the comments, it feels like he actually cares about his community.
its true :o)
@@launders Thanks for caring.
your discussion on holding angles was eye opening. really insightful stuff thank you
very good video finally when friends asks me how this game works i just have to send a link
I've always heard them say off angle, but never really knew what that was. Cool, I learned something.
Edit: No, infarct I learned a ton. Thanks, Lau.
With the right left thing, i think you need to think about it if you know you are going to peak into an awp holding an angle. Don't crouch peak on the left side. They guy holding the angle with awp will have an easy time taking you down before you see him.
i love the youtube algorithm and how it starts recommending me videos based on other stuff i watched, was watching flashpoint on fl0ms stream and suddenly your video with styko showed up and now im here and gonna hop on your streams whenever i can, the videos are great
Wicked :) thanks mane
Great vid. Recently I've been having a problem on CT side where I gravitate to right eye peek angles only. It's a bit of an issue when the left eye is safer or it doesn't really matter because you're so close to the angle (think window on mirage). I am trying to be aware of where I'm moving and autopilot less to fix it.
Angle dominance (how far away you are from angles) is way more important than right eye peeks, everyday of the week
100%, I gotta reprogram my brain
Didn't notice I watched the entire vid, comfortable to watch content like this
Finally, I have the knowledge I need to get out of Silver I. Thanks, Launders, much appreciated. For real though, fantastic content that for some reason doesn't bore me out of my mind (not naming names).
FANTASTIC VIDEO MATE. This was extremely helpful keep these kinds of vids coming.
Great vid only thing I don't think you mentioned was peeking an angle close vs far
Coach Lau is a beast
Can you upload the VOD of just explaining things? I was waiting on the smoke grenade explaination before it cut out lol
Should i change to claw grip?
Do more of these they are fun to watch :)
you got 1 new loyal sub bro, quality content
Lesgoo
When holding for rotates or exists you're always thinking they could come behind u as well
I also think aim is underrated by analysts and pros alike, they say this because their experience of aimers is people in pugs who peek everything solo, but when you think about players who actually carry games (who all do have great game sense but aim is the decider) k0nfig, s1mple zywoo xantares, niko blamef etc
Aim is very Important but never sounds good on desks. While losses might come because of aim, good analysis will always try to figure out why outside of aim. Bad players see a lost duel and think one player was worse because of aim, a good player sees the same fight and try to say X should have been in a different position, if possible. Difference is both a good and bad observer can blame aim but only a good observer can find other reasons.
@@launders yeah it's not very interesting to say yeah team x was just winning their fights at the desk 😂
Can you do one for movement some day? My aim is pretty decent but my left hand sucks with the keyboard.
yes please... i have the same peoblem brother T_T :(
I started playing on a PC fairly late in my ”career” and I had trouble learning to press buttons on my keyboard. The way to learning it, at least for me, was just playing alot to get comfortable with it. Easy kz maps or just moving around on a private server.
Well this is gonna take alot of time but playing tf2 Rocket jump maps should get u more than comfortable with source movement
In community servers search ”kz” and look for ”easy level 1-3
@@debayansroad add me ill talk a lil with u: 84125444
Could you do a video on Nip's new roster now that we have seen some games :)
Can you make a video about how to Anchor properly?
this vid may help you out:

I was silver back in 2016 and I’m still silver now. Thanks for uploading anyway
Nice name tag for the knife
Don't listen to him on focusing on horizontal aim more. Yeah it's true you do more horizontal aim, but training the whole package makes the lesser parts stronger all together. People crouch shot, you have to flick, etc you aren't just moving your cursor left/right.
We love you launders!
Hey Launders do you think aimlabs is a good tool? If so which one of the tools/activity do you think is good for CS?
This should be a mandatory watch for all Newbs to the game...
Thanks coach
Launder should be charging for this type of video its really good information for any player
Happy enough hearing that! Thank you
Its been a while since I was this early too a launders video
hey lau could you do one on team comms or communication in general?
After also playing valorant holding off angles in Cs doesn't feel so effective especially the way peaks in Cs work, don't get me wrong holding clever off angles can work but its pretty hard to caught u offguard
Cuz ur a valorant knoob
@@aandersson650 faceit level 8, global, semi pro on 1.6 playing Vs team like hsbg and immortal on valorant 😂
Can we get a demo review from nuke dbl poney vs anonymo ?
mom im in a launders video for 1 and 1/2 seconds
Next gen thumbnails...xD
Bruce said: Be water.
InI say: Be Xantares. Or electronic.
And DRINK water!
I have a 100ms reaction time. No need to prefire
6:00 this is wrong, hard clearning has its place, but on silo you often dont know if they are out hut so it makes sense to clear the open aswell
It’s situational, I hope everyone understands that about CS. There are hardly any absolutes
Aim isn't everything. But it is so much easier to play and win games when you hit the shots you need to.
Prof. Lau
great outro
Hey, sometimes your opponent is just having a really good day.
Great video tho, 10/10
why didnt you answer how to defend rush as a solo player
good bideo, mr launders
18:45 yea type in the console "thirdperson" and when you look at your crossahair its at ur characters head level lol cs do be weird like that.
I wont lie, the part about preaiming confuses me, I've always kept my crosshair tracing corners in almost every situation, and its saved my ass many many times, I only preaim an angle if I am anticipating or know they are there...Is this wrong?
If you aren’t anticipating or knowing you shouldn’t bother aiming !
I see.
YOGGI, SVERGIES GODASTE YOUGHURT WWOOOOOOOOO
can you upload your practice config amigo?
based & laupilled
fair fights are for chumps i like the sneak attack
Launders is poggers
nice
banger vid
1:46 that a shift walk to crouch accuracy bug?
Hey dad
am I the only one who hates playing bad players who can't peek tightly/counter strafe?
interesting
I think you should belong to higher S tier in csgo youtuber list...
So quick
lau
Commenting for reach
Is the name of the map qk_aim_map? Can you put a pinned comment please?
qk_aim_training
7:44 I have watched too much LTT
Coach Lau come to Siege one day, there's no one like you and all the top analysis channels are Europeans with funny accents
jesus christ yoour m4 spray is nasty
Good video!
get back to work launders!
Halo !
Noti
Just buy a p90 and hold w. You are in silver anyways , who are you even kidding
the guy who said does this mean there are ON angles is so unfunny
yo crosshair too high sometimes, why would you ever wanna shoot the forehead, if you can shoot the chin and still get a headshot XD I know its a realllllyyy small thing, but it can still matter
imagine being so bored, to watch through this even though you have 4k hours and know everything from this video, im a fucking loser
who plays csgo in 2021 sir :)
people who understands the mechanics and fundamentals of this game and cannot find this type of skill ceiling in other fps games including valorant.
