- How do you get Pro Level Aim in CS:GO and Valorant? Sponsored by KovaaK's Aim Trainer, check them out here: bit.ly/WarOwlKovaaKs
Do Aim Trainers work? How do you really get good at Counter-Strike? You CAN get Better, but it requires what I call Focused Practice, which is abstracting a specific skill, repeating it over and over, and using an objective measuring system. I hope this video inspires you to get better at whatever it is you want to do in life.

It looks like KovaaK's is free to try right now on Steam, so this is the perfect time to go try and beat my score. Remember, this video is SPONSORED by KovaaKs, so try it out for yourself and see if you want to use it long term.
I have to watch more WarOwl tutorials to beat daddy WarOwl
Nice
no
I like it
epik
I really like that Warowl is also describing how you can apply this anything you are wanting to get good at. Art, music, any sort of skill, daily practice that pushes you out of your comfort zone is the best way to improve.
found u here too
@Sayantan Ghosh 😀
When you realise literally - and I mean litirally - anything can be accomplished by practice, it can change your life in a positive but also a negative way. The difference is in the way you apply this information, I recommend Mike Boyds channel for great learning experiences!
I applied this to weed. Can confirm, works perfect.
YetHe can't play the violin
Warowl is like the "cool" teacher at school. Honestly props to him for keeping his content fresh and original for years.
He looks one to one like my physics teacher
@@ludo2869 lol my physics teacher is a scrawny greek guy with waaaay too much energy xd
Well this isn’t a fresh idea but it’s still cool
@@hydral4837 It's the content and the mode of delivery that makes it different. Anyone can throw together a "I practiced for 30 days here's some graphs and the results" this was a proper presentation with a personal detailed explanation of his reasoning and it feels different than listening to someone drone on about the same topic for 10 minutes.
I agree with this comment.
DMG logic: You dont need gamesense if i train my aim for 3000hours, until i can outaim anyone
Bro i was a dmg and this is fucking accurate 🤣
I am supreme and my aim is horrible
@@Cheater24a big brain guy
**gets triple naded from behind a corner and dies instantly**
You can reach pretty high levels if you have an insane aim and really good connection to a 128tick server.
A friend of mine who's insane at quake3 arena reached a pretty high faceit level on just ~300 hours of csgo
I got shit aim so I have to compensate w/ nades + map awareness + rotations + calls lol
@TheWarOwl I think something that's worth mentioning about improvement: **everyone else is improving too*. Just because you're not climbing doesn't mean you're not making progress! If you want to climb, you need to be able and willing to grow *more** than your competition! So many people get discouraged when their practice doesn't seem to yield results and I think it's because people think that it will immediately result in climbing elo, and that's not how the system works.
Exactly. At the later ranks of any competitive game, constant practice might not yield any results before you've been at it for months. But you will get there.
In competitive FPS games even the average casual player's skill is at an insane level compared to how good the average pro's skill was at launch. (typically, I'm just thinking of how much the average R6 player is better compared to the best R6 players at launch)
@@K..C This is actually a really notable point. It's true in basically every game (with a competitive side to it) that's ever been released, but particularly in the last 5+ years. Think of games such as Fortnite, Apex Legends, Overwatch all of those and others like them have ridiculously different average playerbase skill level and variety of skill levels compared to when they first released.
Ok
I like how you point out some of the periods where you didn't practice or play since it adds some realism for the average person. Some people for whatever reason just can't afford to do it everyday so seeing progress that can fit into a realistic schedule is cool.
I was watching the Valorant video and thought you aimed better than before. I thought it was just my memory playing tricks on me though, and thought maybe I just was more judgemental the last time I watched you play. But I guess this may confirm there was some sort of an improvement.
I wanted to mention it in the video, but figured I'd wait until this video. I just want to prove that practice actually works and is something you need to do if you want to git gud at a game (or anything)
@@TheWarOwl How do I apply this to sexual intercourse.
@@Davey768 buddy you need jesus
@@Davey768 step 1: find a person with a hole
@@TheWarOwl it’s crazy seeing where this exact advice applies to other subjects eg. music, art, etc. these videos not only help me in cs but in piano practice too.
I personally enjoy taking an approach similar to Mike Boyd when doing Kovaaks.
For example, I've recently set myself the goal of reaching 90% accuracy on the Narrow Strafe scenario.
But since that scenario was simply too fast for me to perform deliberate actions, I edited the scenarios into different speeds.
I decreased the speed until I couldn't quite hit the 90% acc and practiced.
As I managed to hit 90% acc runs, I increased 5% on the Time Scale setting of my custom scenario.
Setting myself a good finishing line and a bunch of milestones really made a difference for my experience grinding the game.
Thanks for the great video, WarOwl :D
This sounded exactly like music practice lol. You have to play a piece at a slower speed and work your way up to the intended speed
You're such a tease with that violin. Though I completely understand as I myself am a pianist. Your early videos (especially mm academy) gave me a lot of tips and general insights, that when applied in a practice environment or mindset showed great results.
Praised be classical music lessons
Agree!
I had an epiphany about this a couple years back when I played kovaaks for a couple days and all of a sudden was actually useful in pistol rounds. I knew that if I kept at it there was an opportunity for crazy growth. Kinda got bored of shooters though, so now I practice shot packs in rocket league. Similar idea. I think sometimes practice in this way actually can be fun if you're really zoning your brain into it. It's rewarding to see yourself performing better (but it's always more fun to take those improvements into the game and dunk on people)
I'm always interested to see how much gameplay can improve with daily practice. I play with Aim Lab and some of the CSGO practice maps right now. But I probably need to vary my practice up a bit.
I do 20 minutes of training in aim_botz then I play through the yprac maps for each map I queue for. This takes around an hour so if I only have 2 or less hours I will go through my practice and not queue, instead I play deathmatch. I've been doing this for about a month and I've seen my consistency improved greatly.
this is a barebones suggestion but try to play deathmatches with the weapon you suck the most at and hit shots you find difficult, it will greatly improve you as a player all around.
@@YourLocalCafe Oooh, I'll definitely try that.
@@fritzhenderson1632 Makes sense. Thanks for the advice!
@@fritzhenderson1632 Aim Botz isn't that great.
You're totally right about separating what aspects of your game you can train with every resource you have.
I used Aim Lab for 30 straight days too, and ended up improving a lot with pistols and first shot accuracy in general. I corrected a few bad habits (I clearly had a weak side, mainly because I wasn't grabbing my mouse with even force between my fingers), and the tracking excercises really smoothened my crosshair placement when clearing angles.
It was a good experience in general. Great video!
Hey you really helped me become a better csgo player. Now usually in top half with a 1.5+ kdr. Not genius but no longer a complete nub. I am 54 btw!
DAMN warowl that little line about where true happiness lies and how we should keep challenging ourselves. It's a really great lesson. Came here for entertainment but left with wisdom
I would do anything to see WarOwl play the violin
I loved your old video about muscle memory, and I really enjoyed this one as well!! Great stuff!
Great video! The core concepts talked about here are covered in detail in the book Peak by Anders Ericsson for anyone interested. It takes the concept of "focused practice" to a whole other level.
always love your content about improvement and learning, these kinda concepts can be applied to literally everything in life
I never thought your aim was as good as you claimed, I always thought you had decent aim and outstanding game sense and that made you play well. Now I have 250 hours in kovaaks (albeit much less hours in CS than you), and I could barely even come closer to your scores. That of course in a few tries and not after 30 days, but still. Props to you man, your aim is officially crispy. BTW being top100 in ANY scenario is a pretty huge thing as some guys are purposefully hunt down scenarios to make top scores
I accept that focused training helps you improve, for it is the word of the WarOwl
this was one of the best youtube videos ever made, in relation to video game. thank you Warowl, it made my lunch very much more enjoyable
Thank you for giving your body to science for these important experiments
You are so lovely, warowl. Such good motives and lessons, with application in all areas of life. Long time watcher (like, original gun tutorial Era) and fan. Very good 👍
There are three WarOwl voices
The intro voice: "Ooh...!"
The normal voice: "Oh-" *laughter*
The "I messed up" voice: " *o h* "
In the good old days of CS:GO, I did something like this inside the game with a specific aim map, it boosted me up onto LEM from MG within a month or 2. But that's MG to LEM, but going further is much more difficult, but definitely possible! Thank you for the video!
I'm very glad you uploaded this video. I bought Kovaaks Aim Trainer about a year ago, but quickly lost interest in using it and just kept playing (mostly SoloQ) MM. I mean, since then I finally got from LEM to Supreme (twice) and my game sense improved alot, as you would expect, but my aim became a full on piece of shit (compared to other players in Supreme/Global). I miss so many shots and loose a lot of situations just because my aim is too slow/inaccurate. Sometimes I make crazy plays - and hit crazy shots - too but my inconsistency is frustrating me to a point where I need to change something.
So, now that I've seen this video I am going to do exactly what you did for one month. Let's see if I can get to Global for the first time ever!
How's it going?
Great video! Love the emphasis on focused practice, so many people sleep on it and think that the only way to improve is by just playing the game.

Bro, even a ful 10-min video about training is fun to watch, considering your speech skills. You really improved on the last years, and I like to see well done job. Congrats.
I already closed the tab in the end of your video and saw a frame of you with the violin. so i reopened the tab just to hear a "not gonna happen" - well played
also love the metacognition bit you offer such motivational and encouraging blip blop
I'm so glad somebody in the CS community is acknowledging aim training, and giving out actual quality information. I'm so tired of people who have never seriously committed to it telling me that aim training doesn't work and that you shouldn't ever train outside of CS. Personally I've seen so much growth mechanically in a very short period, and tbh I've it's so much easier to learn other areas of the game when you know that you can rely on your aim when things get tough.
Also I beat your WW4T score and I'm four spots ahead of you on the Flux Valorant Reflex Flick leaderboard :)))
I just don't really see what's so different about this compared to Yprac bot trainer
@@robertwhittick6427 I mean the Yprac bot trainer is fine, but afaik there's no way to track scores so you're not able to benchmark progress. That and the number of scenarios is very limited.
The violin suspense tho
my anxiety went through the roof every time he started talking again...
he blueballed us
OMG I've been using KovaaKs like for years and i'm extremely happy you used it so i can improve
I started using the uletical and Yprac maps in CSGO and its been 3 weeks already and im really noticing changes. Im training for 30 to 40 minutes a day then play one wingman and after that play a competitive on the best map i know. Its just amazing how much you can accomplish by training and staying focused. I even noticed when it's not my day and I see a dip in performance during that day so I don't play competitive and just do one or two death matches.
My absolute favorite KovaaKs warmup is Y4MZ Practical KvKs Warmup, it has minimal but necessary tracking, great small adjustment/micro-adjustments and medium adjustment clicking scenarios as well as an explanation of what specifically to focus on to improve. Overall great video for the CSGO community to see, I think, since a lot of CS player just do horizontal flicks in aimbotz or play DM for 15 minutes without thinking then hop into a game.
For how many hours do you train a day,been searching for an answer for a while but havent found anything
Do u have the sharecode?
I've been playing kovaaks for just shy of a year now, i got to grandmaster on Voltaic benchmarks, and for some forsaken reason i haven't known about consecutive tracking which is literally the scenario I've been looking for since i started playing.......... ty warowl
I don't know what it was, but I literally fired up Kovaak's again last night to put a short training session in to try and work on this a bit (I had also bought a new mouse, so this might be why). This is good content. Now I need to find your other content on in game training so I can get better.
Nice - I just have to say as someone who picked up CS GO when older, Kovaaks reaaaally helped me catch up on aim mechanics compared to players who played FPS a lot longer. I've tried several aim trainers, Kovaaks is by FAR the best.
love you so much
your vids are the best
Owl of wars, master of the content, man of no closers, your videos ALWAYS make me wanna play any fps. Playing valorant RN. You're a god.
Love your content please keep it up!!
Brendt. You are among my very few youtubers, that i religiously watch every video of. Love your stuff
Lol, loved the violin baiting :D
Yet another excellent WarOwl video
You haven't even watched it yet
The more I watch / listen to you the more of a great guy you really are
I feel like i discovered WarOwl like 7 years ago and this dude looks like he hasnt aged a minute.
Plus he still doesnt have a closer.... like wtffffff
i dont play cs but i found lots of this information very useful and applicable to my games and hobbies. thank you
Awesome video, WarOwl has the best content out there.
im using aimlabs for like 70 hours now, i was hardstuck plat 3 in valorant. Now im bouncing between immortal 2 and 3, practise works 100% keep it up boys!
nice soon when you have beaten valorant you can start with a slick silver 2 in csgo
^or he could stick to the better game
I was just waiting for the end part, but you broke my heart again
nice, impressive growth
Seeing & hearing WarOwl play the violin is a thing that I think, I really need in my life. Do it! Just do it! Practise 40 hours every day and show us how much you can improve.
Hahaha didn't expect this crossover here
Wow just discover this guy. Love the content
I'm the same age as warowl.
So, pumped rn 🔥😎
A very good vidéo love the violent joke. You always find a good way to explain your self with a touch of humour.
that violin part was amazing, nice vid
entire sequence from 3:58 to 5:00 was the greatest tease i've ever watched in UA-cam
cant wait for the training with marines vs kovaaks comparison comes out to see which improves stats better, maybe ill finally stop being such a noob
Some good transistor music!
it's really coo that ur playing krunker, since i've been playing for 2 years now and to see a creator a I really enjoy start playing it
Warowl, I recently started learning violin, and I've been watching you not play violin for years. Also, interesting bow hold with the pinky bent backwards.
"aim trainers should be supplemental to the in-game practice"- well said. Amazing video :) as always thanks. This is the exact video I needed. Idk how but whenever I need something, Warowl makes a video about it :).
Damnit WarOwl, as someone who has been a musician for more than half my life, I was really hoping you were going to play something! I love watching musicians play, no matter the style. Well... maybe not country.
I haven't played a competitive shooter in fucking years now (for the better). I'd say a great tip for making it close to GE is have a good group of people to play with. When you all know each others playstyle (rotation times/style, positioning preference) you can really rank fast. I made Supreme with two other buddies before and it definitely helped to practice in Aim trainers and with buddies.
I'm going to be honest though, don't play competitive shooters too much. They're way too toxic and stress inducing. Breaks are healthy in a routine as well 👍🏼
will always be here for new warowl video
Focused practise for a week gave me significantly better aim a few years ago. If I have time I will try more again.
5:00 Now that's one sacraligious way to hold a bow, Brent.
Thanks for info!
Great video Mr. WarOwl
I really want to see WarOwl's violin skills now.
He blueballed us too hard, this is outrageous, it's unfair
WarOwl's finding about tracking are exactly what happens , very few CSGO players have good tracking but it's incredibly useful in CSGO too in obvious cases like you are flanking somebody you need to keep your crosshair on their head as they move along so you can kill them in the right time you want to. But also in less obvious cases having good tracking translates in game really well but as time goes on you see diminishing returns cause you have already mastered that skill so you dont need to do it every day maybe 1once every few days then once every week then 1once every month then you don't need to anymore cause it has become part of your skillset its burned in your brain.
I have a stupid amount of hours in cs, and my tracking sucked, after playing kovaaks for a few hours,
I realized, focused on, and then reinforced using my arm rather than wrist for tracking.
CS taught me that I should micro adjust with my wrist, but it also forced me into the bad habit of tracking with the wrist rather than the arm.
I went through all of this, cuz my aim sucked in the finals lol.
The violin part was brilliant!!
One of the things I'm trying to get better at is controlling my nerves and staying relaxed in a competitive game. So in that respect, playing CS is practice, because you can't get that unless you're actually in a competitive game.
new warowl video, day = good
Love that violin edging part
The violin section was gold Brent!
Its true... Im 31, built my first gaming pc december 2020... Ive been gaming on pc for a year and with focussed practice im currently diamond 2 in valorant and pushing for immortal this act... Even old guys can pick up a skill and improve at it, but it takes work...
For reference, I have about 500 hours on various aim trainers. Great video very funny with useful info only part that bugged me was the part about aim training not being fun and that you just have to power through it. If you genuinely don’t think aim training is fun, try benchmarks. If those don’t hook your interest, and you still hate it after a couple weeks, you’re wasting your time. Aim training requires focused practice and if you’re not having fun you won’t be focused, you’ll be wasting your time. I love aim training. Anyone who’s successful with it finds it fun. That’s why the best aim trainer players are usually not the best in game people. They found a game they enjoy and they play it. Don’t force yourself to play kovaaks, try it give it a fair chance of a few weeks maybe a month and if you hate every minute of it, you’re wasting your time. Also a lot of people listen to music while they train, makes it more fun as well.
Fr I only have 150 hours on aimlabs but I hate when people act like it’s a choir like just don’t aim train no ones forcing you
very true
@@keenangsc8130 It’s understandable for people early into their training, say first month or two, just like other games take time to get used to. But after a bit you’ll either love it or quit. Most people who love it upgrade aim lab->kovaaks and this is usually a sign of committing to aim training. By usually I mean less than 1/4 of the time.
@@WestProter for how many hours did you train when you first started doing this
@@shadowsage6253 for beginners I’d recommend 30 minutes - 1 hour a day. However the biggest thing is playing every day so if after 15-20 minutes you’re itching to play cs go play cs. Forcing yourself to aim train will make you quit sooner. Also use vt or ra benchmarks to keep motivated
Believe it or not, but I use the same principle described by Daddy Owl in my career as software engineer. If I want to get better at my project, it's not just enough to just do the tasks that are in front of me (just playing matchmaking). If I want to get better, I need to learn dry info about programming language and all the technologies (practice, focused only on one skill at a time). That's how you get better
Another tip:
Have an routine you constantly run. Its important. And play each scenario multiple times. When you hit a plateau(dont be overhasty saying you did), switch the routine. That will train different skils and when you go back to the old scenarios you will instantly beat your highscores because you learned new skills. And make sure your routines train every poart of aim: clicktiming static and dynamic, tracking and target switching. And train efficient.
4:20 not playing the violin for so long have me anxiety. thx warowl ❤️
I practiced KovaaK's for a while, and it was brain numbingly painful. I like Osu a lot more because it's actually enjoyable to do, but Osu focuses more on timing, tracking(very generous and huge hitbox), and small instances of flicking, which is not really good for getting better. It does however, get me much more used to arm and wrist positions/motions I'm not used to doing, but KovaaK's does that anyways.
KovaaK's is like doing boring scales on a string instrument, but they're really hard scales that requires a lot of focus and effort. Osu is more of a fun game that doesn't train specific aiming aspects, they just sometimes accidently happen to be there.
I love this video. Will definitely send to people that doubt aim trainers work in game because they don’t train the right way.
Merrry christmas WarOwl!
One of the things I got told from my basketball coach was perfect practice makes perfect. If your practice the wrong way it will give you back habits
dude i FUCKING love warowl
he and only a few other youtubers (like cr1tikal) are the last ones that still have integrity AND good content. Its amazing how you keep that integrity, when you are sponsored you CLEARLY state you are sponsored and you "only upload good videos" bro all of those scrapped vids of yours are bad in your mind i bet are 100 times better than other youtubers videos just because of the integrity and honesty that comes with your videos
When I used to play CSGO actively I was in Gold 3 and I was satisfied with it. I enjoyed myself and I thought, if I just try harder I'll get opponents which also try harder. I didn't want that, I just wanted to enjoy CS as I felt like against and with people with the same mindset.
I was stuck at GN3 and then i realized i was playing with an INSANELY high sensitivity. I thought i was just at the higher end of the range but no, i was completely off the charts.
Now i face a challenge. I need to lower my sensitivity and relearn aiming. Its gonna be frustrating but im gonna have to do it. I dont want to be stuck.
@@Likexner sens doesn’t matter look at woxic his sens is insanely high
@@Likexner honestly it’s up to your preference with sens but it’s true high sensitivity is harder
@@ninjanick0815 Preference doesnt really explain anything other than the fact that you always become better at what you practice. People use "its personal preference" as a way to dismiss differences and possible inherent pros and cons of different choices. Of course preference is a thing but bad settings dont magically become as good as good settings just because you prefer them. You can get used to pretty much anything and it will become easier but that doesnt mean it will become as easy as if you were doing things a better way.
For example, you an prefer lever action rifles and you can get very good at shooting them fast. You will be much faster than a person who never practiced it. However, that doesnt change the fact that you can never shoot as fast as someone with an AR.
My sensitivity is so ridiculously high that its capping my aiming potential. I have become very accustomed to it and i can compete with people who use normal sensitiity but only up to a certain level. No amount of preference can change the fact that its extremely hard for me to adjust my aim by a small amount if im trying to hit heads at a distance. The fact that i play on a laptop with a 15,6 inch screen also doesnt help.
The whole "just see what setting is comfortable for you" point of view also has its flaws. I did just that and my sensitivity is ridiculus as a result. I have played with the same sensitivity since the days of Source. When i first set the sensitivity, i did it in such a way that would allow me to pretty much only move my wrist. I almost dont have to move more of my hand than that. I just set it to be the same as in the single player shooters. Unfotunately, what works for single player shooters is not necessarily good for a competitive online shooter.
As a result, i have become relatively good at flicking but relatively bad at making small adjustments and my wrist gets tired quickly.
@@deezy7574 Of course it does matter. Woxic plays with a puny 2400 edpi. I play (played, my main laptop is dead now) with 10 922.
The fact that i can play with a super high sensitivity does not mean i ould be even better with a lower sens. Believe me, its very hard to make small adjustments when im trying to hit heads at a distance. The one advantage is that i can cover a wider angle with a flick but thats not that much of an advantage to justify this.
I only found out i was weird when i saw the huge sweeping motions the pros do with their arms. Up to that point, i thought it was normal to pretty much just use your wrist to aim. Its how i did it in single player shooters since forever so i set my sens in Source the same way and continued using it even in CSGO.
It sucks but im gonna have to drastically lower my sens and relearn aiming. I have hit a plateau with my aiming skills. I havent improved much at aiming for a long time while i have improved a lot in every other aspect of the game.
This was easily the most enjoyable WarOwl video i've seen in a while. Jokes were hilarious, delivery engaging, educational...just awesome. Fat Cocc Tom.
Only the WarOwl can motivate me like this ^^
An all-time great video by TheWarOwl.
Ultimately, the pleasure within whatever endeavor you undertake lies within one’s goals and expectations.
Do you play CSGO to blow off some steam with friends, in a purely recreational manner? That’s great, if one enters it with that mindset.
The focus of any self-improvement, to be effective, shouldn’t be motivated by BEING better, but by GETTING better.
Being better isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. As cycling legend Greg Lemond said of improved performances gained from training: “it doesn’t hurt any less; you just go faster”.
If you don’t find meaning in the process of getting better, it’s a fool’s errand, and there is no shame in not trying to improve - unless, of course, you bemoan how bad you are.
i still practice for cs even though i dont play the game anymore funnily
mostly cause i have nobody to play with and solo queue while a challenge just isnt fun
but i like to stay sharp just in case i would find someone to play with!
as a fellow violinist myself, id love to see you play for real :)
Practicing Kovaak's made me setup a playlist and venture further to discover more kinds of music lol.
I am 43 years old and played CS since it was a mod for Half Life (for over 20 yrs now) but haven't got any playtime the last 6 months and it looked my muscle memory got lost and even my sense could help me hitting anything in CS:GO.
So I did Eclipses YT Video again "How to find the perfect sensitivity" but this time it didn't worked for me. I am a very low sens player and something felt wrong with my aim.
So I bought Oblivity from Steam and tried to find my sensitivity back with the CS:GO Routines in it, the last few days and I think I overdid it with about 12 hours in 5 days (Just doing boring excercises) ;-) in between I also used Kovaak's with your routines (but deleted the valorant ones - because I am not a flicker with 720eDPI)
Also tried every day two or three D2 Deathmatches, looks like aim comes back- will see in about 26 days if it gets improved :) Thank you for the video and the suggestion about Kovaak's
i can not be the only person who keeps on staring at warowls neck to see when i ligns up with the gap between the noise isolators
god the violin portion killed me, specifically when you KEPT stoppingggg
War Owl really out here edging us with the violin.
Thank god someone is making a good aim training video
The day warowl actually plays the violin in a video is more awaited than some UA-camr doing a face reveal after years of YT success.
