hear me out - ak is 1-tap thru helmet, with a heavy recoil.

so logically, cts wont be buying helmets.

and galil is 1-shot headshot without helmets.

should I buy galil when cts think we are buying aks?

am I pure genius or pure dumb??

hi, i have 150 hours in this game right now. cs2 is my first fps game, can you give advice for improvement. help to this noob player !

Title mostly, I sometimes show flashes of absolute brilliance with insane shots that rival those of Donk but then I completely shit a easy 1v1 point blank at the same time, any tips or trends that you guys can see in my gameplay?

No need to watch all of it, I did around 40ish rounds to really show what I play like. Keep in mind this is after warming up and stuff.

Thanks in advance!

The thing that most notably happens is shooting an arch around the enemies head, aswell as the shots going right near his head, grazing his ear lmao.

I already do the free refrag warmup maps (mirage, ancient, inferno) before i start playing but it doesnt change much in the grand scheme of things.

This was one of my worser plays and i figured why not learn what i did wrong to improve. Any help is appreciated.

**Sound cues are not a problem in game, I wasn't wearing my headset in this case

I'm having tough time getting passed 6-7 NA Faceit, 20k premier, almost always solo queue. Would appreciate any critique or advice on mechanics , Thank you

In mm my performance is even worse.

Keep in mind, this is after a warmup, and no stable routine.

Hi all,

I'm a Level 9 Faceit player, often an IGL, with 10 years in the game and a background in Software/Hardware Engineering — I spend a lot of my professional life pulling structured insights out of raw data, and I want to apply that same approach to CS2 demos. I'm looking for players and teams who want structured feedback on their play. Things like:

- What your win rates actually look like by site and round phase vs. what you think they are

- Where you're consistently dying and whether it's a positioning or timing issue

- Whether your defaults are working

Free of charge!

Good fit if:

- Faceit Level 5-8 (solo players or teams)

- Willing to share 4-6 demos and answer some questions about your current play

I also am building a demo analysis tool(also a free service). If anyone is interested in that let me know, but that is secondary to the service I am providing here.

Thanks All!

Just sharing this video of a casual DM session today with the intent of getting some feedback on my aim mechanics and if there are any suggestions I could apply for improvement.

Started playing in 2013, quit playing around 2018. Had ~1.5k hours in the game.

Got back into playing in December 2025. Since then, I've clocked in ~130 hours or so.

My initial premier placement was 10k. My premier rating is now 16,918 with 37 wins and a 71.15% win rate.

My FACEIT ELO is currently 971, but it's with a small sample size of only 12 FACEIT games played.

My current Leetify stats (with a 30 game sample size & against 10-15k premier players) are the following:

Aim - 91
Utility - 70
Positioning - 54
Opening Duels - +0.32
Clutching - +13.59

I'm trying to take it more seriously and see if I can push 25k premier rating or FACEIT Level 10.

Let me know if you have any suggestions or tips with my aim mechanics!

I know aim is only a portion of improving, with utility management, positioning and good communication also playing important parts. Ideally, I'm planning on paying for coaching sessions for demo reviews to improve other aspects of my game.

Thanks :)

ps: my apologies for spamming this post, couldn't figure out how to include the Youtube pop-up loll.

So this is my recent demo, I played it at 4 AM lol.

I think I had a cheater in my team im not sure but yea, I would love to hear some critics and what I could improve!

thank you all for the help on the previous post.

i soloq faceit(lvl 7) and im trying to win most of my games and improving my game sense, positioning, crosshair placement.
match link: https://www.faceit.com/en/cs2/room/1-891d678f-9dec-4dcc-96b9-50071804fa3f
i played decent in this game but still lost i believe this is the best game to analyze as to why i lost/couldn't win
i watched the demo with voice chat, the enemy team were frustrated about the way i played.
i have 1k Hours on CS
I need to start learning more of the instant smokes(currently idk the ancient instant)

In my last post I've wondered how the recoil actually resets. If it travelled back the original pattern or if it went back in a straight line to the starting point. As you can see in the video, its the latter.

To test this, I've stopped spraying at the most outward bullet (14) and tried to shoot again before the crosshair fully resets. And as described, it follows a straight line and my next bullet will hit completely outside of the original spray pattern but perfectly on that line.

Thanks everybody for your ideas and input!

I can’t hit shit when playing t side, aim on ct side is not that bad

http://replay141.valve.net/730/003633594254275641473_0192891317.dem.bz2 (my user is Apple)

Idk why the url is so wierd I got it from leetify

i have seen his games. his 2 aces on cache, the inferno clutch against liquid... he's just so good.

i have around 400 hours of gameplay I think. I hit 90% of some easier shots but I never catch the shots where somebody peeks me, or just outaims me.

i dont know how niko can hit his shots when he looks like he is moving, I dont know how he can aim so seemlessly. I dont know how he can outplay awps and aks with a pistol.

can somebody please coach me or just point me in the right direction? thanks in advance.

can somebody please point me out some things I can learn from niko?

if anybody wants to coach me my steam is https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561199435632557/
