Been running this for 2 weeks now and I've noticed a big difference compared to other things I've tried. Significantly when it comes to consistency. Been most surprised with spray control using bots with more health on refrag, as you actually get more feedback and I realized how bad my spray was (thought I was good before, not the case)
Man your videos are so on point. You've just earned a new follower. I'm right now working through not being able to apply my aiming mechanics in-game and at the same time trying to figure out how to focus better. Thanks for the awesome content ❤ I did a small reminder recap for myself to get back to before practicing and playing. Can you double-check it makes sense? I'm very systematic with my approach, please bare with it haha. So basically there are 2 components in the shooting technique aspect of dueling: - Aiming style (Speed aka MBM vs Precise aka smooth) which do different by whether you confirm before shooting or not. It varies based on the gun you're wielding, armor and current HP - Shooting mode (spray / burst / tap). It varies based on the distance of an engagement and it seems to be the only factor? So if we try to combine it goes like that: Close range - MBM + Spray / Pistol spam Mid range - MBM (using factors above) OR Smooth aim + Bursting. Question here is whether you go for smooth aiming with AK mid-range for example with certain fights? Far range - MBM (again using factors above) OR Smooth aim + tapping. I'm a little confused because most recent videos from reputable creators (like voo) say that the shooting style also depends on whether you commit to the fight or not. Pro VODs seem to tell me that as well. And when talking about day 1 (around 15:00) you're showing various distance spraying (even for long range) which kinda contradicts the approach that you should tap for long range. Thoughts? Sorry for the wall of text 😅
Nah no worries about the wall of text, youre pretty on point with it. If I were to add anything would be the other style of shooting that I very briefly mentioned in the video which is instaflicking into a spray (and then your spray is the microadjust) - Close range can always be MBM, but your most likely better off with instaflicking into spray - Voo is absolutely right in saying your aiming style depends on if your committing or not. There are alot of factors which can go into whether a technique is right or wrong for a given situation (if you have cover/Low HP/Guns your using/Enemies HP/Committing to fight or not/Across map macro plans) Its really hard to give an exact list of when to do each, especially since some of the "correct techniques" that you can use, can sometimes be a multiple ones for a given fight (example: Mid range rifle fight, you can MBM into a tap, insta flick into a spray, or smooth aim and spray, all are every effective - As for the 15:00 minute mark, im only spraying at a distance to increase the level of difficulty during practice to strictly improve recoil control. Most in game fights I would not spray at that range.
@@samRi_cs cheers for the quick reply. It all makes sense now. The only question would be whether you would suggest using the routine and then reasonably autopiloting in-game in terms of those mechanics? So that we're basically relying on good practice, especially compound exercises where we apply all this stuff together. Or thinking proactively about those things in-game as well helped you to solve the puzzle? Just for some context: 3.5k hours CS Voltaic general benchmarks - Plat Voltaic Valorant benchmarks - Diamond 9.5k premier and I know my smokes and defaults. Basically kinda same "stuck" situation as you, but at a lower level haha. I should just be able to easily faceroll people.
Id say crossfire is your time to refine your reflexivity on when to use which technique for a given fight. And then whenever you are in game, you should pretty much be autopiloting 90% of what you do (except for things you are still in the process of learning) this should just be applied to every skill that can be improved upon, not just aim. And then when you are playing if you notice after a fight that you did the wrong technique, just recognize it as an error and keep pushin. Eventually, just like every other skill, you will no longer need to be conscious of which technique to use, it will be automatic. @@owlfury-beast
This aim training routine is so comprehensive and intelligently designed. Huge props to you for sharing this and taking the time to explain. Have you used LowGravity’s VDM training method before? I’m new to Kovaaks so I am trying it out, was curious about your thoughts on it, if any :)
I had kind of an inverse approach to building aim, I sunk most of my time into CS to build mechanics, and I'm just now discovering Kovaaks haha. I have found that Kovaaks is applicable though after 200 or so hours, you really have to dig through scenarios and understand what you're looking for, but you can find 90% of the same type of motions you'll be getting in CS, just minus the movement and recoil aspect, you're only getting the base level motions of mouse control you need in comparison to CS. I use Freeplay Mode a lot of the time and set my own personal benchmarks through different ideas I have in the moment rather than always score hunting and grinding playlists. For example, 200 targets while maintaining 70-80% accuracy or seeing how much volume I can put out within a time limit like 2min or something, and just kind of spamming out areas that feel awkward or weak. Basically using it as a volume tool to clean up the base level of mouse control. Beyond that though it's really only good to fine tune small isolated mechanics, nothing is going to beat training on something like Refrag where you can quite literally recreate the scenarios you struggle with and train them to get better.
I sort of agree, I would just put a bit more weight into the importance of using aim trainers. Whatever one being more beneficial is up to the individual and their own bottlenecks. It's hard to make blanket statements on Aim trainers VS In game routines, on which being better
@@samRi_cs 100% agree there. The journey of building mechanics is different for every player and you really can pull from just about anywhere, that's one thing I should've mentioned. I mean you've got legendary players like f0rest who just play tons of Apex Legends and Surf and dumpster folks while playing like 2.5x the avg sens at the highest levels of the game.
Shark send your refrag affiliate link you convinced me to subscribe, and get the freaking sponsor you deserve it. I've been watching a lot of cs content for a few years now and this video really hit differently. I really like how you hyper focused on improving at varied scenarii that happen only in cs and I also noticed some of these scenarii not being trained in most routines. Like the long range fights. I used to do thousands of bots in close-mid range and then jump into a game, get into a long range "finger" fight and be like "wait what I just practiced for so many hours doesn't translate at all"
Voltaic really won't help your CS aim that much because it contains all sorts of aiming styles that aren't really relevant to CS. The only kovaaks scenes you need to play for CS (at least 98% of the time) are static and dynamic clicking scenarios that focus on accuracy. Check out some of the LG56 routines for static and dynamic, and maybe include some additional small-target flicking scenarios. I hit voltaic GM and didn't really get great aim in CS until I focused in on static and dynamic scenes with small targets, and prioritized accuracy over speed. That said, 50% or more of your warmup/aim training should happen in CS and not in aim trainers. Kovaaks is always supplemental to the game you're working on, even when you're only focused on aiming. GL
I agree to an extent. Its all about an individuals own bottle necks. If they are lacking in mouse control then they need some kovakks. If they are lacking in game mechanics they need an in game routine. it all depends on ones own bottle necks and if you automatically assume one style of aim practice is better, then you are missing the point.
this is by far the best aim routine that is actually based in some rigor and understanding of training motor skills. How do you track the bot kill count tho? This would also be more efficient if you group the tasks by where they are. I get that it isn't ideal but switching between will add a ton of time
I thought about keeping similar scenarios together but I didnt like the idea of training one skill for like 20-30 mins straight. I like to keep it with some variety throughout the training to avoid boredom
@@samRi_cs that could definitely be a factor. It is just a google sheet so hopefully people know they can adapt it to their needs. But this method of training that takes inspo from kovaaks/aimlabs is a huge improvement great content underrated channel
The thing about aim training in a third party program is the vast majority of your time training should still be in game rather than in the program like kovaaks for example. As well as the issue of aiming far to fast due to aim training since you are focused on getting a higher score but can simply reset the scenario while in game you only have the one chance to hit or you die. Playing in game allows you to make those connections between aim trainers to the game and are definitely an amazing tool when used properly and should not be discounted.
I agree with you mostly, except for the part that a majority of your aim training should be within game. I hold to the view that a majority of your training should be focused on on your bottlenecks, and if you bottlenecks lie outside the game (mouse control/tracking/etc) then you should spend a majority of time training there or vice versa. Blanket statements on which being better do not apply to everyone justly
@@samRi_cs I agree with you and I was making a generalization but I find so many people spending hours playing aim trainers and then pug like 3 times a day and then wonder why they suck at the game still lol. You should obviously diagnose your issues and then fix them accordingly, its just imo most people don't know how to aim train and balance that with time in game so as a general rule of thumb its generally better to spend more time in the game than in an aim trainer. But again, that is just a generalization. (amazing in game routine btw, best I've ever seen 💯)
for the circle strafes are you counter strafing diagonals? I've never done this before.. like try to counter AS to WD? or do you just tap it and not counter?
Note that tracers aren't accurate inside cs2 so they're not good to use in order to gauge accuracy, that's why you should turn them off. tracers dont go where your bullets go.
@@samRi_csidk if i could ever get used to that or not, im sure it's useful. I've been using the workshop map called recoil master to learn the patterns
oh man, this is EXACTLY what I was looking for. I am 19 points away from voltaic master. I do have solid aim in cs, but I feel like it should be even better. thing is, the cs community is plain stupid when it comes to real aim training. most high level players have their aim from playing pugs for 10k hours, not from the stupid routines they do in workshop maps... even the pros are just so stuck in the past, when it comes to how to train your aim and even what peripherals to use.
Yea, thats exactly why I made this routine. Felt like all the in game routines ive seen on youtube were just so outdated and not properly structured. Hopefully this shit helps bro. I added wayyyy more to it since making this video
@@samRi_cs do you have a follow up video? I don't know what some of the tasks mean. on day 6 "M4 Only Heavy Bots SPAM Tap Walls Dynamic Slow (250 bots) [Bot Mimic = ON]" for example
@@calmsh0t Use m4, can only tap spam, add walls to the scenario, make the bots move back and forth (dynamic), make the bots move slow, and then turn on bot mimic so it adds some randomness to their movement. And yea I do plan on possibly making a part 2 to this video, cause ive added quite a bit to it since then
How come your crosshair instantly flicks back to center? I.e. at 12:12. Usually it slowly moves back to screen center (depending on weapon/recoil/duration).
How did you pull up the refrag aimbotz as that map? When ever i try to do it, i just get an aimbotz inside vertigo/mirage/nuke etc... Clearly just a simple error by me, i just dont know what it is. timestamp: 18:36
hey bro im conflicted on whether i should use follow recoil or not. I know that follow recoil is better but i find it harder to train and actual learn the patterns. do i just thug it out and learn through this routine?\
I'm new to FPS games and I know a flick not only needs to be accurate, but also fast. If my flicks are requiring micro adjusts, what's the right way to improve? At this moment it really feels like I can only be fast or be accurate, and I'm not sure what my priorities should be when trying to improve. Should I flick slower and then speed it up over time? Should I force myself to always flick fast and get more accurate over time? Should I like do a very slow practice flick to see how much my arm, wrist, and mouse move and then try and do that same flick as fast as I can with the intent to take the shot? I want to improve, but I'm concerned that if I don't practice the right way I won't get better or I won't improve as quickly as I could.
This is a copy and paste someone sent me before about flicks: "In terms of tension: the majority of aiming should usually be done with a relaxed grip, but you need tension for moments where you need speed like with flicking. There is however a difference between applying moderate tension and applying way too much force behind your flicks. You need way less tension than necessary for a flick. Experiment around with how little tension you need to do a proper flick without tensing too much/squeezing the living hell out of your arm. This can help a bit with overall tension control but also avoid causing you to (accidentally) accelerate so much that you overshoot. In terms of speed: people often over prioritize "snappiness" over having a fast, yet controlled flick. You want to push speed, but you want to be able to push a speed that you can consistently control. Which feeds into the third point. You do not want to use counter-tension for landings. Quite often people tense up for the flick, and then tense again at the end to try to make very abrupt 100-0 speed stops, but you should see flick-landings as a smooth deceleration. You want to let the friction of the mousepad do that for you. Tense only a little for the flick, ease that tension over the course of the flick and let the mousepad do the stopping for you for a smoother landing that can be easily chained into a micro, and you also end up with a more relaxed grip. Making your flicks too snappy can cause you to be unable to apply the deceleration, given you need to apply equal counter-force to stop said harsh speed. So try to not overdo the flickspeed too much as written in point 2. If you are overflicking a lot, then either your flick is too harsh, you aren't decelerating properly (AKA you are carrying on your flick-tension for too long instead of easing it out) or a combo of both affecting each other."
@@samRi_cs I appreciate the response. If I read this correctly, you would recommend having a controlled flick (even if slow) and then with time and practice just get better at maintaining accuracy while being quicker?
that being said, I feel like 90 minutes everyday for just aim training might be overkill even for pro's. Reminds me of overtraining at the gym. I feel like reducing that volume and focusing on quality training would be better. And of course, to get good at something you should spend more time doing that thing (meaning go play more team cs). All that aside, Sam's got better aim than me so maybe he's on to something here...
I get what you're saying. I think this routine is very helpful for players who are decent and for beginners, not so much for the pros or for players who have 3k + hours. I've been playing CSGO for a few years and for some reason I only tried to have fun and not grind it like seriously. With CS2, my focus has been more serious and I'm looking to improve, so this routine is going to help me a lot. Having said that, I'm 100% with you on actually playing more MM, getting destroyed by high elo players, re-thinking your routine, learning and unlearning. It may sound corny but it's true with my case. Playing too much DM has made me impatient so I'm thinking of changing my routine.
bro my aim is improved by 50% more man. but I feel inconstant in my aim. what to do? from the first game to the second to the third. In the first game, I feel like literally a pro. also, can you give me the command for your recoil crosshair?
Hmmm, when it comes to aim degrading as you play throughout a session, the only couple of things I can think of could potentially be the following. - Maybe you're playing with too much tension during your sessions, and start to fatigue your arm/wrist/finger tips (Solution: Learn to obtain smoothness and low tension within your aim to avoid fatigue / Take breaks during session to let fatigue wear off / Or shorten your duration of gaming sessions) Long term goal would be to have low tension consistently when aiming, but even if you do obtain this you are still human and will need breaks, or a limit to how long you can play. - Another issue it could potentially be is degradation of mental focus (This can be pretty complicated to solve: could be potential tilt issues, lack of focus on what's important during matches, lack of breaks during sessions, too long of sessions, etc) Hope that helps, I would def be able to help more if I had more details on the issue, but those are a couple of solutions I can think of as of right now. The tension one is a pretty common issue. Heres the recoil commands, throw this in your autoexec alias +shootr "+attack;cl_crosshair_recoil true;" alias -shootr "-attack;cl_crosshair_recoil false;" bind mouse1 "+shootr" bind "2" "slot2; bind mouse1 +attack;" bind "1" "slot1; bind mouse1 +shootr;"
Pref whenever your mind is fresh and you are able to focus on improvement. Most likely your mind will be tired at the end of a gaming session to try and focus for another hour and a half so thats probably not the best time. But if thats the only time you can do it, then your better off doing it than not. Timing throughout the day doesn't really matter much though, all up the individual
@@samRi_cs First game 33-16 after first day and it felt so effortless. I've definitely been neglecting a lot of my in game mechanics because of Kovaaks grinding :P

Been running this for 2 weeks now and I've noticed a big difference compared to other things I've tried. Significantly when it comes to consistency.

Nah I never said I would share any, cause I don’t know any. But i’m sure you can find some.
hey bro im conflicted on whether i should use follow recoil or not. I know that follow recoil is better but i find it harder to train and actual learn the patterns. do i just thug it out and learn through this routine?\
Lowkey yea, thats what I did. Just had to get used to it before I started seeing the benefits
Do someone know some workshop map for AWPing so it could be instead of refrag? Like you hold and they peek you or you peek or smth like that
honestly im not sure
I'm new to FPS games and I know a flick not only needs to be accurate, but also fast.
If my flicks are requiring micro adjusts, what's the right way to improve?
At this moment it really feels like I can only be fast or be accurate, and I'm not sure what my priorities should be when trying to improve.
Should I flick slower and then speed it up over time? Should I force myself to always flick fast and get more accurate over time? Should I like do a very slow practice flick to see how much my arm, wrist, and mouse move and then try and do that same flick as fast as I can with the intent to take the shot?
I want to improve, but I'm concerned that if I don't practice the right way I won't get better or I won't improve as quickly as I could.
This is a copy and paste someone sent me before about flicks:
"In terms of tension: the majority of aiming should usually be done with a relaxed grip, but you need tension for moments where you need speed like with flicking. There is however a difference between applying moderate tension and applying way too much force behind your flicks. You need way less tension than necessary for a flick. Experiment around with how little tension you need to do a proper flick without tensing too much/squeezing the living hell out of your arm. This can help a bit with overall tension control but also avoid causing you to (accidentally) accelerate so much that you overshoot.
In terms of speed: people often over prioritize "snappiness" over having a fast, yet controlled flick. You want to push speed, but you want to be able to push a speed that you can consistently control. Which feeds into the third point.
You do not want to use counter-tension for landings. Quite often people tense up for the flick, and then tense again at the end to try to make very abrupt 100-0 speed stops, but you should see flick-landings as a smooth deceleration. You want to let the friction of the mousepad do that for you. Tense only a little for the flick, ease that tension over the course of the flick and let the mousepad do the stopping for you for a smoother landing that can be easily chained into a micro, and you also end up with a more relaxed grip.
Making your flicks too snappy can cause you to be unable to apply the deceleration, given you need to apply equal counter-force to stop said harsh speed. So try to not overdo the flickspeed too much as written in point 2. If you are overflicking a lot, then either your flick is too harsh, you aren't decelerating properly (AKA you are carrying on your flick-tension for too long instead of easing it out) or a combo of both affecting each other."
@@samRi_cs I appreciate the response.
If I read this correctly, you would recommend having a controlled flick (even if slow) and then with time and practice just get better at maintaining accuracy while being quicker?
Exactly right. Shouldn't necessary be slow slow, but it should be controlled and over time you will pick up speed@@Vic-tz3gl
bro i am 2400 elo on faceit eu but its even hard for me ( i always had bad aim but i didnt think my aim sucks this much).
youll get there cuh
that being said, I feel like 90 minutes everyday for just aim training might be overkill even for pro's. Reminds me of overtraining at the gym. I feel like reducing that volume and focusing on quality training would be better. And of course, to get good at something you should spend more time doing that thing (meaning go play more team cs). All that aside, Sam's got better aim than me so maybe he's on to something here...
I get what you're saying. I think this routine is very helpful for players who are decent and for beginners, not so much for the pros or for players who have 3k + hours. I've been playing CSGO for a few years and for some reason I only tried to have fun and not grind it like seriously.
With CS2, my focus has been more serious and I'm looking to improve, so this routine is going to help me a lot. Having said that, I'm 100% with you on actually playing more MM, getting destroyed by high elo players, re-thinking your routine, learning and unlearning. It may sound corny but it's true with my case. Playing too much DM has made me impatient so I'm thinking of changing my routine.
Haircut looking clean
ty boss, had to chop the flow.
bro my aim is improved by 50% more man. but I feel inconstant in my aim. what to do? from the first game to the second to the third. In the first game, I feel like literally a pro. also, can you give me the command for your recoil crosshair?
Hmmm, when it comes to aim degrading as you play throughout a session, the only couple of things I can think of could potentially be the following.
- Maybe you're playing with too much tension during your sessions, and start to fatigue your arm/wrist/finger tips
(Solution: Learn to obtain smoothness and low tension within your aim to avoid fatigue / Take breaks during session to let fatigue wear off / Or shorten your duration of gaming sessions) Long term goal would be to have low tension consistently when aiming, but even if you do obtain this you are still human and will need breaks, or a limit to how long you can play.
- Another issue it could potentially be is degradation of mental focus (This can be pretty complicated to solve: could be potential tilt issues, lack of focus on what's important during matches, lack of breaks during sessions, too long of sessions, etc)
Hope that helps, I would def be able to help more if I had more details on the issue, but those are a couple of solutions I can think of as of right now. The tension one is a pretty common issue.
Heres the recoil commands, throw this in your autoexec
alias +shootr "+attack;cl_crosshair_recoil true;"
alias -shootr "-attack;cl_crosshair_recoil false;"
bind mouse1 "+shootr"
bind "2" "slot2; bind mouse1 +attack;"
bind "1" "slot1; bind mouse1 +shootr;"
@@samRi_cs bro that's exactly what I wanted in the first issue , thanx man
@@ELctra572 happy to help bro
when should i run these routines? at the end of a gaming sesh/before bed?
Pref whenever your mind is fresh and you are able to focus on improvement. Most likely your mind will be tired at the end of a gaming session to try and focus for another hour and a half so thats probably not the best time. But if thats the only time you can do it, then your better off doing it than not. Timing throughout the day doesn't really matter much though, all up the individual
thanks for the reply, keep up the good work!@@samRi_cs
U go to schereville YMCA?
yes lmao
This is great. Ty :D
Happy to help bro
@@samRi_cs First game 33-16 after first day and it felt so effortless. I've definitely been neglecting a lot of my in game mechanics because of Kovaaks grinding :P
Hell mfn yea. Good shit dude. LMK how it goes for you after grinding it for a while@@Kempie1
Love you daddy - Meatwire

where tf have you been
hey sam what is the kovaaks benchmark you are playing?
Voltaic (ua-cam.com/video/EXveEI2Otgk/v-deo.html)
Can you share your kovaaks routine or make an online playlist?
Downloaded it and just been doing warowls CS playlist.
This is the current routine im running on kovakks (ua-cam.com/video/mbW01a6Ws1c/v-deo.html)
here from ESEA forums

ight screw it I'm tired of being a hardstuck lvl 6 will do the whole routine( with Kovakk) and update in a month 🫡
hell yea mf, lmk how it goes
