The God Who Goes Unstretched: How a Rebellious Prodigy is Breaking the Rules of CS:GO
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 гру 2020
- Whether you’re repping 4:3, 16:10, or even 5:4, you know that you can’t call yourself an edgy, CS:GO eGamer unless you’re stretchin’ that screen.
But what initially started as a haphazard way to squeeze frames out of a crumby PC has since become a standard. One that virtually every mid-to-high-level headpopper in the whole of Global Offensive follows.
In fact, over the course of Global Offensive’s near decade-long lifespan, very few self-respecting tier-one pros would even entertain the idea of running 16:9. That is, unless you’re CS:GO’s native son - Robin "ropz" Kool.

So which res are you all repping?
1:1 is the best, hands down
1024x768 black bars
16:9
I watch more csgo demos then I actually spend time playing so 16:9 feels more natural to me as well as the default demo crosshair
4:3 black bars 640x460

Ropz is a god who lived in sadness and regret. His family didn't have much at one point and they had to sell their house or something, and then his father killed himself in shame. Ropz wished that his father had waited, because he made it and could make enough money to carry his family. I hope nothing but the best for Ropz

@@stielimusterman3066 I don't know how it is in Estonia, but in Finland it's common to have doctors prescribe you SSRI-medication for literally any reason and then leave it at that. I was talked into taking it so I would be allowed to continue onto ADHD-tests, which was the whole reason I reached out in the first place, and in my case the SSRI itself made me feel lethargic, depressed and numb. It's actually quite F'd up to feed antidepressants to someone with ADHD as these people often already struggle with lack of focus, motivation and energy.

@@raizo-ftw I'm not disagreeing with you but I have no idea what you just said
16:9 gives a better situational awareness which can be useful. Ropz even says that "I sometimes see enemies my teammates probably missed" or something along those lines.
Thanks, now I don't feel bad anymore playing 16:9 :)
4:3 doesn't make it easier to hit opponents, it's a placebo for the most part, obviously, placebo makes you play better so it's not like it's a disadvantage, and it does have it's advantages for those who do actually prefer it but in reality, the target is not larger on your mousemat, they just look larger, it makes it easier to see enemies more than shoot them.
You should
:)
Same, but to be fair in my case never really followed csgo esports so never really knew there was a 4:3 reso thing
I cant even switch to stretch cause my laptop is not provided with shit like that

I love these videos so much, keep up the awesome work!
It’s awesome seeing a legend like GTR speaking so highly and showing so much respect to ropz. So many of the old heads in any esport or traditional sport are just relentless haters on the new young superstars, especially when they do things differently.

4:3 stretched sure has an advantage when you are shooting still targets but when the enemy is running they also move faster on your screen. Probably should have mentioned this in the video when comparing pros and cons.
He plays with his face so close to the monitor that he actually plays 4:3
Stretched has been a thing since cs 1.3, the general reason was the wider player models. Fps became a reason after lcd monitors got introduced in early 2000s
I exclusively use 21:9 and I will never go back. Stretched models=faster model movement which makes them as hard to hit as beforehand. I get accused of hacking constantly by the 4:3 noobs, like it's not my fault you're still gaming like its 2008

Men Ropz is such a model. I just love him. Hope the best for him.
I swear that Dimitri can make anything sound exciting by his writing and delivery
I know he's saying 16:9 but I hear 69
It makes sense that someone is having success with a more standard resolution. If you think about it, stretched, mechanically, is the equivalent of having a lower horizontal sensitivity, instead it seems more natural to us because of warped perspective. A shot doesn't get easier, necessarily. I'd even go as far as to say a good reason a lot of these players do it is well, they're used to it.
Amazing content man!
The reason stretched res seems to improve your aim is because it alters your X by Y sensitivity. It makes the mouse move faster in the X axis than the Y axis. Since we move the mouse right to left more easily than up and down (because of how our arms/wrists work), we are more likely to make over/under corrections when moving the mouse on the Y axis. Using a stretched res effectively lowers your sensitivity on the Y axis, and since we know lowering your sensitivity allows you to make more precise corrections, it stands to reason that this would improve your aim in a game like CS:GO where there are not a lot of vertical elements (another reason people dislike Nuke). This is not true of other shooters like quake, unreal, TF2, Overwatch etc, because those shooters require more vertical mouse movement.
yea i am wondering why the didnt include anything about this.
Really missed opportunity
Stretched does not alter your sens at all. It just makes it feel altered. You're still moving your mouse the same distance as in native res. You just misunderstand.
Thank you for saying that at the end of the day those are your settings and you do whatever you want with them. It always lowkey annoys me when people obsess about pros' settings; they get their chrossahirs, their sensitivities, their resolutions, graphical settings... why? It's cool if you want to experiment and see what works best for you (and some people can never find the right crosshair too) but ultimately you should be setting everything yourself. You choose the sensitivity that works best for you (plus mouse weight makes a difference so just blindly copying is dumb), you get your graphics the way you can get most fps for most visibility and readability, and the resolution that suits you. I've always been rocking full hd just because of the field of view, I am obsessed with seeing as much as it's possible because in a game so heavily focused on information it's good to see the most you can. Sure, stretched makes the targets fatter and honestly it makes holding tight angles with an AWP a lot easier and that's about the only good thing I see about it; in the cons section you have sensitivity that will feel off as you'll move faster vertically and slower horizontally, less FOV and CS has relatively low FOV anyway, and I find it hard to see people that have the very tips of their heads exposed like standing in CT on dust2 shooting at short A entrance - it's almost as if you see 1 pixel of their heads on stretched and 3 pixels on full hd. So yeah, 3 cons for 1 pro is not enough to justify 4:3 for me. On 16:9 I have the exact opposite, 3 pros to 1 con, FOV is the biggest seller; I have seen too many people lose a round or just die because someone with 16:9 crept up on their 4:3 ass and they didnlt get a chance to react.
tl;dr set your own settings instead of copying others, play what suits you and not what other people think is best.
Pro player: Plays the game like every casual
Everyone: HOW DOES HE DO IT? WHAT A CHAMPION!
in 16:9 the models move slower so it can actually be easier to hit sometimes and you also get a better overview. however it is worse when shooting at long distances
Dimitri is the best theScoreEsports reporter ! so lovely to watch !
I play 21:9 and there have been hundreds of time where I've saved a team mate from death. We clutched on mirage the other day bc I could see a ct rotating t spawn to mid while my team mate was holding it... Won us the game!!!
I also play on a 21:9 monitor but 16:10 stretched on it
@@dominikf.5100 Same, i actually think that pros should start considering to use 21:9 monitors.
Shout out to people playing with dem unstretched black bars ;_;
Or using a 4:3 monitor
Psychos
basically had to. on mirage, 4:3 black bars would run 30-40fps compared to 20-30fps at 4:3 20-30fps :( what a potato
I have 4:3 black bars cause i was used to the 1.6 low res
I use 5:4 1280x1024 stretched and 1920x1080p, If you change res while playing will seem very weird but 1 to 2 days max, you can adapt to any res, the game seems more smooth, ( not motion blur or other filters) but seems that you move faster, the characters look fat the sprays really seem easy, but that just depends of what your sense is and personally I can move a lot better in stretched, but 1080p just seems 👌🏻👌🏻
I also use the same sense in both res 0.9 in game no raw input and 1600dpi with no filters 😁
The guy with the vertical is built different and straight up vibing honestly
Me, an intellectual, playing on non wide-screen monitor on 800x600
Ropz, the one and only that pops heads on native.
I've always played in 16:9 and never had problems in poppin those heads. Since ropz joined mouz, I've been a big fan of him and finally I can be happy that I have a good player whose settings are similar to mine.

@@Fleischgewordener_Sterbehelfer 16:10 is closer to 16:9 than to 16:12 (same as 4:3)
Damn, Get_RiGhT is really good in this commentary piece like his opinion is really great and the eloquency in his delivery is excellent. He could have a great career in this field.
In recent ESL One when KennyS missed gla1ve in connector on overpass is a good example for the disadvantage of 4:3
There's like tens - if not hundreds - of examples of these. The thing, though, is that either you're just used to 4:3 stretched as a pro player and since you get paid for playing the game at a high level, you can't afford to "experiment" and potentially be bad and sabotage your career.
The random idiots who use 4:3 stretched because they hear that pro players use it etc and then play MM or Faceit or whatever are just braindead apes, and they won't look at the evidence of pro players missing enemies and realize 4:3 is bad, because the fact they use 4:3 purely because of another person means their brains are wired to be sheep instead of think about things objectively and on their own merits anwyay.
There is no "objective" way that moving your mouse onto an enemy is somehow better on 4:3. Enemies will be bigger, sure, but I have never, ever had issues with seeing and aiming onto enemies with 16:9, and I used to play 4:3 stretched for a little bit. It's a different feel, but just different, not better in any way, and visibility is an issue for 4:3.

The problem of stretched Res is we all had been through a phase that we need to do anything to improve even if it's changing everything in your game from crosshair and sens to Res and audio
But after one got used to stretched res, it feels so weird when changing it back so people naturally just stuck to it
Lol so I guess everyone forgot about shroud or something? He played 16:9 I believe
Shroud was never as good as Ropz.

@@danielsan2397 shroud in his prime was nuts
Every one thinks shroud is some god like player. He might be good in streaming and playing casual. But true legends are born in pro scene. And shroud got crushed in pro arena.
The fact that the game slows down helps me in pistol rounds for example, where everybody is moving. The higher fov also helps a lot. It also feel a lot smoother to move around. For me at least 16:9 is better, and i played 4:3 for 1000 hours or so.

shroud who was rocking 16:9 before ropz was even well know is getting only mentioned on the side...but ropz is the one pro using it...
12:07 The models *LOOK* bigger. Nothing changes in the game itself. It's like having bad vision. You see things blurry, others don't. But the world is the same.
have people just forgot about the legend himself Braxton swag peirce
ropz' crosshair placement is so good
Tried the stretch screen before, does not suit me. I prefer native.
For the amount of pixel stretched, the pixel travels faster as well. Hence I can't hit the "faster" moving target when camping as sniper.
Conclusion : Still depends on your aiming capability. If you can aim, any reso is fine.
