    This is literally my favorite series for cs2 at the moment. Thank you so much for being willing to learn in the open like this. You model what it should look like to show up every day, and just focus on what you can control and get better at. It's a trait NA cs lacks a lot of, and I love to see you promoting it here.
    ALSO, the amount of value that I'm getting from hearing the perspective of Pienix is incredible. He's constantly dropping gold nugget tips, or revealing new considerations I hadn't thought of previously. So a huge thank you to him as well for being a part of this. Y'all both deserve for this to pop off, and I honestly expect it to. Best of luck going forward, keep em coming! I just discovered this series this week and have so much to dig through still :)

    Pienix is such a great coach. I love his demeanor. He's so direct that it's borderline insulting sometimes. To me, that just really helps info stick. One thing to know what to do, another to know you need to do it to avoid being embarrassed haha.

    Amazing video once again!
    Overpass is probably my worst map and I’ve always felt kinda lost.
    Normally I play A long and always felt like it’s not the best position, good to have this video confirm it.
    I’ll be playing the same position like you did from now on :)

    Great video! Had one thing in mind that I can’t see said, maybe I missed it. You could save the 400 bucks on a kit if you plan on pushing really high up early in the round like in 10:54 . Even if you get traded one-for-one or even two-for-one, the kit is really a waste of money and it’s unlikely you’ll get enough kills+ cover to fall back and make use of it later.

    • @Tempo_est
      @Tempo_est Рік тому

      I understand your point but it depends, games are also for fun. I play CS for fun not tryhard and was MG2 in CSGO. Actually that’s why there are gamemodes, faceit, ESEA and your own team to choose. I think the dynamic range from bad players to best in CS makes game better and fun and more competitive. Everyone can’t be good, same is in other sports, it would be boring.

    • @xXxC0nSUm3rXxX1337
      @xXxC0nSUm3rXxX1337 Рік тому

      @Tempo_est I also play for fun but I don't really see the joy in not using your brain and playing solo in a cooperative video game. How many times have you lost rounds with a huge advantage because the team decided not to fall back and group and just take a 1v1. Qhat I'm trying to say is there are simple things that should be common sense for a player idk the title Competitive for csgo/cs2 means nothing everyone queues it wether they want to play for fun or fun challenge it has lost its meaning gaming didn't used to be like that in the past and I think it's the zoomers.

    • @Tempo_est
      @Tempo_est Рік тому

      well you can play for fun with friends too not solo. I def get your point but in other way that difference between quality has made CS(GO) popular and thats why this game exists like other sports - difference between skills. There are also sunday league in football for example. @@xXxC0nSUm3rXxX1337

    Looking at that shooting makes me say "wow he's literally me"
    I'd say I'm not bad with clearing angles mechanically but I've got a problem when it comes to seeing enemy and trying to make micro or macro adjustment.
    It's like I lack focus on enemy. Like I daydream all the time and don't pay attention. When I shoot bots it's all fine and all aim correction are precise. But when in comes to game situation my focus is always shifted. I'm losing my last shards of hope to fix that.
    And through some time during game that applies also to decisions and enemy counting. It's what your coach told you on some game that if you killed man in the area you're safe to assume that there's no more people and move with more confidence. It was nuke if I recall correctly. It's like my mind gets clouded.
    Someone please help me xD

      Play -> Practice -> Competitive -> tick all the boxes on the left hand side of the screen (grenade camera, infinite ammo, infinite warmup), then pick your map and load in. If you want to get a little deeper with it search youtube for "practice configs" which will give you some additional options and commands.
