I actually just mentioned this to my friends when we were talking about tilting in games. If you feel like you get insta-headshotted in a spot you usually play, just ask someone to take over and go to a more passive spot etc. Biggest shame is that people watch this, agree to it, and then forget it in their next match. Good video!
I agree, this can can actually drastically change the game if you put some thought into it, since people learn how to win by losing and going through trial and error (knowing their enemy positions, weaknesses, etc), just think before act and just use simple logic
I have to disagree with Device on that one. If you have 80% you should play overly aggressive, demand frequent drops by your teammates to work your way up the scoreboard to then blame your teammates for not having enough "impact" after you've lost the game. You should never play to win as a team in a pug. You're supposed to exploit your teammates as much as possible by demanding drops over and over again while you give nothing back. The only people whom you should lay weapons for free are the opponents, by dying an extremely stupid nonsensical death every round, which of course does not matter because the scoreboard says you are the best. The scoreboard does not care which player is playing economically in the interests of the team with the aim of winning the game. Who cares about decision making, low frag or high frag positions if you can use scientifically verified statistics used by valve(scoreboard), faceit, esea and so on to find out who is not to blame for the loss.
I feel like this "playing solo" strategy only works if you are far above the level of your teammates and opponents. As you push through the ranks in faceit and so forth, you will get to a point where the average skill level is so high, its almost impossible to win single handedly without relying on your teammates, to run simple plays, throw (minimum) utility.
I used to play cs consistently for about 5 years from 2013 to 2018. Played a few seasons competitively and went to a few LANs. Haven't touched it since really. Just want to say I wish these type of videos were around back then. This content is REALLY valuable. It's very clear to anyone who knows CS that you know your stuff. No bs. I know this is a more philosophical topic but it is very valuable to someone who wants to improve. I don't watch many cs centered channels but you have my support. This is great stuff keep it up
Gold 1 Player here: very good advice. And tbh the "Use 100% of your 80%" advice rings true for other life aspects as well. Realizing the headspace you're in and adjusting accordingly is super important
this video is a complete eye opener. I have now gotten married, had 16 kids, gotten 38 degrees and now make $100m per year after watching this video. Thank you Mr. Voocs'go
I dont know if youll remember this, but when you were still really small and trying to grow you helped me (you were LEM in MM at the time) learn and in return i gifted you a flip knife vanilla. We played a few together on Nuke & Mirage. I still always watch you and enjoy learning from you. Have a good christmas Voo -knshi
I absolutely love your videos voo because you're always on point. I'm not here to "learn" but to "abuse" your videos to help others and your videos are always exactly like they should be. I also absolutely love devices sentence with the 80%. One of the hardest thing to learn and accept as a player is to notice their own weaknesses and a big part of it is to accept the current/daily limits. Accepting that you play not as good as usually today and adapting to it is one of the key abilities to learn.
Any professional athlete (outside esports) knows that they can't be consistent 100% of the time. However, they do mitigate that by doing the things that they can actually control at that moment. If you're not fragging enough like you're used to, you can still be a great teammate by relaying information like a boss, or use utilities more frequently than to overdo things and end up in a much worse situation. The point is, you can always do something in other areas of the game; learn to adapt and recognize the situation at hand. Throw your ego out of the window 🤙
Consistency doesn't exist when you don't have a team. Your own team that knows what to do and be able to communicate. I've lost many matches because my team was not communicating at all. And some times the team was indeed communicated and relay info. Even if your the average player a good team can help you win the round
Another tip about consistency is to be very familiar with the gun mechanics and stats, you should know for instance that the AK is very inaccurate on the first shot when standing, but crouching gives it a big accuracy boost, allowing you hit hit a perfectly aimed headshot 100% of the time out to a greater range, some of the pre-aim crosshair placement examples you showed are already outside of the AK's 100% accurate range, which is actually rather small.
Consistency is a state of mind. If you feel its getting worse with csgo, try doing sports in real life. (Running, gym, real sports). Consistency in Csgo is 90% about concentration. You cant concentrate if you arent fit. And sleep, sleep is very important.
The problem for me is that I don't have A, B or C days. I have them in hours. Some games I can get a 40+ kill game and the very next I am stuck at like 15
You might be a very confidence reliant player. It's like this for me. If I have the confidence I can concentrate much better, have better reaction time and my mechanics are more like when I play FFA. If my confidence is down I have a hard time concentrating, react slower and aim far worse than I normally do in FFA for example.
I have a very good example of inconsistency : so I played one game with my cousin and his friends (Im level 3, he is level 10 on faceit, also a csgo coach and his pseudo is madc so obviously we had really good coordinations within the whole team) and we won the game I had around 25 kills, pretty good. Now the next day, I play alone with randoms (still level 3, but this time against player of the same level as me) and on the same map we won (wich was inferno), we ended up winning but I had 6 kills at the end. Another game I play, I get 12 kills, 12 assists and 20 deaths, we won.
Consistency is a difficult term, bad players make one good play per game and then say they have bad consistency, no you just got lucky. There’s this whole delusional idea feeding into the „elo hell myth“
Leaving this comment hopefully for the future. Right now I am LE in mm and level 5 in faceit. Right now my consistency in my games is so fragile that its upsetting, sometimes I play way better than my rank and sometimes I just do horribly. I am hoping this advice will help in the long run.
Consistency doesn't exist for me, i fluctuate too much depending on diet/sleep/ etc. etc. If I was more consistent in my day to day life I would probably be more consistent in game.
@@thebonggamer3662 your aim doesn't fluctuate thaaaat much,unless you haven't slept in 48 hours or something If you know your aim is off in a game then you should play more passive
Its Just because we are humans and evrything what we do/eat how we sleep what part of day we are playing etc impact on ours consitency. Realizing evrything that is really hard but if we would play only on evenings when we are rest enough and had a good day is not enough to rise in skill thats why we play 80% of the time our B game otherwise we would play couple of games per week
@@AdAstraLabs Not trying to argue bro, just saying that this does apply to everyone. He has a higher average skill than pretty much everyone, but he will still have days where he doesn't perform to his usual level. His average is just well above others.
My tips for performance consistency: 1. Take 2-3 rest days from the game (it helps a lot, cuz your desire for playing is bigger) 2. Rely on yourself, take risks and try to lead the team with tactics and entry frags. (if u say "orange" is better than me, you r fucked cuz you don't rely on yourself and "waiting" to be carried) 3. ALWAYS take advantage from your spawn! 4. Good sleep and water will clear you head and increase your performance! 5. DON'T overplay this game! After the 4th map, your performance will decrease! 6. If it's not your day, go and do something else, just shut down your PC ! Hope it helps, people ! 💥
Yeah, no. You’ve heard it too many times in life, “X isn’t possible because Y”, then that limit gets shattered like fragile glass, then in 10-20 years, even that limit gets demolished like a dust bunny in the wind. Humans haven’t even begun to dig in to Gaming Theory, Technique, Logic. Every player you meet will be using some wildly different approach, position. We are a few decades, a few feet, into a miles deep iceberg of an Art. Even Pianists have figured out how to *sit* in a reliably efficient position, and that art, although hundreds of years old at this point, is still relatively young.
Current I feel like there is consistent 8-10 rounds where I go without a kill. And it's just downhill after that. And it's often the later part of a half or after the 2nd pistol.
now i want to know if it is possible to still carry a game when i'm having a bad day and i'm forced to play more passively, and specifically how i'm supposed to try to do it
Has anybody tested the ''flow state'' with a schedule of good sleep and brain food plus some exercise to get optimal blood flow? Or is that too much to sacrifice for a cs player. I guess I answered my own question because it is for me. For for pros that get payed money to play, I wonder If they are strict on that sort of thing.
Of course it can. Just like in football and basketball players, cs players can, as mentioned in the video, have a good day or a bad day. All that can be accounted for based on past data. Maybe it won’t be 100% accurate every time, but, same as in mathematics and physics, a certain margin of error can be accounted for. I absolutely agree that cs can be broken down into numbers.
xd for all the unaware people, EMI is a thing. first world people have inconsistency problems because their lives are so perfect they dont work on themselves. but third world people have a different problem ;)
That's one of the ways you can spot cheaters. The people are too greedy. So they are consistent at levels even pros aren't. Never missing the critical shot never being caught with a nade always picking the 50/50 peaks perfectly. Never getting wrapped by a lerk. Always perfect. Always in the right spot. At the right time. Staring in the exact spot they need to. You see pros get caught out to bad timing all the time. Even if they smurf. And a 1 in a million game is less likely than cheating is.
yea dude improve in the short term then u can improve in the long term, i have a love hate relationship with this game im hardstuck in the god ranks of silver lol idk i try to kill ppl i can start a gunfight get the first shot or w/e but die over & over again which is annoying for damn sure
well btw pros know consistency is possible, only thing that might get in results for them is bad spawns and relationships with teammates etc, but pros are consistent thats why they are pros
"Pros are consistent thats why they are pros" they are pros because they r good players and even though they have a off game/day/tournament they are better than 99.9% of the population, s1mple is IMO the best player and he has off days all the time? Does not mean he plays bad overall/compared to others but he is not consistent to the standard of his usual gameplay.
