i watched a lot of cs improvement videos and this is the first time i've heard the "play one position" advice, especially the "if at lower rank, play close to mid" one. that makes so much sense. thank you
No worries, master theost impactful spot and you're golden
It's true and works. I hate swapping positions on maps. Swapping round to round is the fucking worst
"It was quite a chaotic session" lol thats a nice way to say the dude wouldnt listen lol
😂
yeah he's clearly a young lad. thats normal and pienix handled it well. he was very polite though and ready to listen. just a talkative teen its normal
like a pop flash from valorant....
Bro really didn’t think pop flashes were a thing in counter strike 😭
like despacito from tiktok
it's funny pienix just instantly reacted with "BLYAT"
Yup the guy he's training is definitely doomed. I would've ended the session right there
🤦
Would love more videos for us low ranks. Need to get the basics right.
Will do🤝
short is the strongest position in low level mirage. You can peek B, MID and hold A cross and connector. On top of that you have the ladder room so u can jump into window and peek from there and just pick apart the enemy team one by one. By far my best position. Plenty of aces and +30 kill games.
Yea the way you sold it it believe😅
IT realy ist If they dont smoke connector
You're not wrong. I think A anchor and Short personally. Short is great: you can solo B from short by listening for rushes in apps. You can still rotate to under window and hold off multiple enemies or land a molly. You have the timing on chair, and that's a tough angle for t's to take from you if you pixel it. You can peek through short and nail people going for con, even site, and you can repeek your mid or con player from short and finish off kills. It's a great position. You can just play contact on chair then go somewhere else, and you're having a huge impact, holding half the map.
A anchor is actually really interesting. It can be hard, but A anchor and con players get a lot of opportunities for fights and sometimes going where the fight is will do more for you. You just have to have good repositions, a strong hold, and the ability to win even when the economy is against you. Knowing how to play dark or palace when you're stuck with an SMG is huge.
I'd recommend avoiding mid or jungle if you're having trouble-mid really needs some good scope work and knowledge of the timings, and jungle gets awp peeked from main. Playing as a second on B can get you some free frags, if your short guy calls apps you can lurk under window, white van, or some boosts on site, and get easy 3-4ks while headshot. But if the enemy sees you playing two B and destroying their rushes they won't play there often and you'll be stuck on rotate.
10:58 W Pienix for clarifying what came first
You could see the disappointment in his reaction🥲
💪
bought your coaching almost a year ago and I think of it everytime I play to this day. The best thing i've ever done for my csgo career.
nice glazing
@@kazzz2765 Nice kock
this guy talks and interrupts more than me ... and I am talkiiiinggg a lot. Thanks for the vid pienix.
You're welcome, yea he did but it doesn't faze me
Good job man! I love the way you explain to them. I used to coach low ranks(usually kids) in 2015/2016, i did not do as good of a job as you do. Great to see
Thanks, coaching ppl is great - cool you've done it a bit
Appreciate the feedback🙏
Thanks for all the awesome content, keep it up man you are really easy to watch!
Thanks, will do!
Iam impressed ur vids are the only i got the benefit from fr ur genius at this like (coaching, playing) iam thankful for you and hope u keep working on this content ❤️🙏🏻
I appreciate that!
Great content and great explanations. I've started doing things as you say and I'm now winning more fights and rounds. Great work.
Keep it up
I’d love a video going over the different positions to play on all the maps like you did at the beginning of this video.
Yes man, incoming
you explained everything really well, I now understand how to position better in dust2
Yea man, dust2 is very complicated map - glad I made you understand it
awesome lessons man!Thank you!
Happy to be of use🥂
Dzięki za ten tip z SG. Mirage to moja najgorsza mapa. Zawsze ją banuję w premierze, bo nie umiem na niej się ustawiać. Po obejrzeniu tego filmu zacząłem robić to co poradziłeś gościowi i od razu mam lepsze wyniki. Czekam na film z nuke. Umiem na nim grać, ale wiem, że wielu nie ogarnia tej mapy i leci na pałę dworem lub ewentualnie do wentów.
Luzik, cieszę się że wychodzi🎉
Nuke wleci na pewno prędzej czy później🔐
never seen someone who had never thrown a nade in practice mode before but will pay for coaching, wild
Why not, maybe he didn't hear about practice mode
Great walkthrough!
Thanks🙏
pienix please more content like this bro!!
Incoming📨
This is what we need low elo help. 60% of cs player are here
Noted
this video was amazing, and i do play like what you said to do to be fair, i got above average aim and spray control i would say, i hold good angles, have good movement and my nades are average aat least, and even tho i can drop 30+ killls in a low rank lobby i wont rank up for some reason and its so frustrating cause i can win like 10 matches in a row and not rank up then lose like 1-2 and derank, its fucked up man... also im a bit of a wingman enjoyer cause i like that the map is cut down to 1/4th and that you dont need to rely that 4 other players do their job correct but just 1, and even then its easier cause a 1v2 is rather easier than a 1v5 but its the same for wingman, i can win a ton in a row and not rank up then lose like 2 games and derank... its so frustrating.
This video is like a breath of fresh air
Appreciate it!
Love your videos. I’m halfway through, maybe you talk about it, but hardest thing on CT is a B retake. Maybe a video on a B retake. 🤷🏻♂️
You're not wrong
B retake is hard but there's not much to be said, gotta clear angles 😉
Great vid thanks
No problem 👍
Wow u are goat keep up good work 💪
Appreciate it🙏
The best Counter-Strike videos on UA-cam, thank you for sharing your wisdom.
Let's go, implement and smash your games man
Feels like the Meta has changed, insta window smoke is so easy now, and it occours almost every round, and with the awp nerf I feel like CT’s are much stronger with 5 ar’s on mirage now. I’d love to discuss this.
in high elo in csgo people still smoked window a ton, what you do is you rotate to ticket or b depending, you can get good awp angles from market/ticket
a rifle in market/ticket isnt optimal because you're holding disadventagous angles, therefore you need an awper to hold those angles (esp ticket)
sacraficing the awp on ticket/market for a rifle is an instant loss in high elo
also the reason you dont start at ticket wiith an awp is because if they go b, by the time you reach market they'll already be holding it and will shit on you, vise versa for b but its more common to start market than it is to just run ticket
im open for feedback but this is how ive seen it go down a lot of the time
you could actually get away with 5 rifles if you gamble stack tho, but thats usually a gamble obviously
@@dirtylinny3279 +1 also nade window smoke + flash over mid gets a decent awp kills every time. If comms are good combo it with boxes molo and after the awp goes where ever.
Awp is still very strong especially with that underhand HE window to counter the insta smoke
That said I saw teams play 5 rifles and make it works so it's doable
My personal choice is AWP
@@dirtylinny3279I agree. Mirage is one of the AWP's strongest maps, don't know what people mean lol. Ticket is easily one of the best anchoring positions, with some options for repositioning, and coverage of all of the bombsite except a part exposed to con jungle and short. Yes the T's might start smoking window, but you can go jungle, ticket, peek con, peek A Ramp. So many places to have an impact, ironclad holds and advantageous peeks.
The Market on a slow timing is literally the only bad angle for it: if you get there early you can get one through apps window, if you get there late you are going to get played from both sides and there is no push where you don't get a 180 crossfire on you.
And, even if you aren't getting the kills mid with awp, you need to have the THREAT of doing so to limit the Ts and force them to expend util and give away their position. Nothing says your awper can't spam an aug through smoke at the corner either.
The AWP nerf just means that in a fight at close range where you're taking hits you're going to lose. It is still the best peeking weapon in the game, and the best at holding long angles. And the only way to reliably peek another AWPer. And one of the best clutch weapons, only let down when fighting close against multiples. Who gives a fuck about the highlight reel, it's about winning rounds.
I think he is meaning how people stand inside smokes in Valorant and throw pop flashes out of them and then peek
I was a hard stuck LEM before cs2 came out, and now I have played actively for like half a year, and now when I came back I discovered that this game has new weird rank system, and im Silver Elite in mirage lol, am i actually playing against silvers or is the ranking system more lower now? Can you explain?
Thank you!
the competitive ranking system is super scuffed rn. barely any players are out of mg2 according to google. try premier, it’s a bit better.
Separate ranks for all maps in comp, go play premiere or faceit
You make window jump look so easy. Any chance of a tutorial to jump window to ladder and window to cat?
Go check "cs2 kitchen" youtube channel. Also window to ladder is quite easy if you are even a little bit okay at movement, go on a practice server and try it
Good idea, maybe at some point - for now focus is on coaching sessions
pretty cool video 👍
Thanks
Interesting, invented the idea of smoke near stairs to go out of con, and now see this as an example of good plays. Need to watch more demos
👍
What game mode gives you a rank? I just bought premium status and want to know how get a rank.
Matchmaking or Premiere
Yeah we definitely need a video of every map on CT and T how to have the most impact on both sides in your team.
My goal is to rank up on Faceit and because I am just lvl 3 the random lobby leader choose/ban random maps and the we get one of the new maps such as Anubis or Ancient and literally nobody of the team kwtd on this map but the enemy team randomly knows the map well and is in a stack with pre mates vs solo stack on all not know what to do. And kind of this matches go unfortunately like 4:13 or sth.
It feels bad to have gaps of knowledge of maps and from you have a lot impact on your favorite maps to you have nearly 0 impact, because you don’t know how to play on this map.
Totally understand you, hope atm you can get as much value from these live sessions as possible
I'll definitely think about creating a guide for each map and how to make impact
That would.be great@@pienixcs, a guide on how to play each bombsite/position for each map would be so useful for everyone.
Here's the guide: You have to learn one position on every site. Here's what you do. Look at every map. You need to be able to help out on either site on CT, have an angle you rather play and a dynamic you want with your teammate: mollies smokes etc, your positioning. On CT, you want to play somewhere that the T's can't just rush you, where you can fall back to a second angle for time. The T's want to trade onto site, 5 of them vs 2 of you onsite, leaving a 3v3 retake at the end. Good places to start: Mirage, Short B and Rifle Anchor on A or Con are all high impact positions. You will have huge intel advantages to help your team, and you'll get plenty of advantageous fights (Anchoring A will be hardest, but most rewarding). Ancient, you want one mid red room, 2 A 2 B. Secret to B is, stay on the CT side of site to play for time and just keep repeeking them. Don't die peeking ramp, your teamate will die trading you. You can rush cave, and rush ramp, on bad buys. Secret to A is one player anchors for long with util, the other plays deep in donut for info and to wipe rushes. Anubis, you want one a anchor, 2 mid, 2 b. You defend A from both sides of heaven and the stairs down from mid. So your friends mid should be able to rotate off your info: just throw a molly just before water A main every round and you're helping. On B, for the love of god, smoke the main gap and resmoke it. All of the angles here are good, but beware of con/ebox pushes. Apart from Overpass and Anubis, basically every map you'll be fine 2 a 1 mid 2 b, although mirage you might like 3 a 1 mid 1 b. As long as you have one angle for each site, you're golden. All you need to learn is where you want to stand. On T side, you care less about the angle, you'll go where you're needed, but you should know a smoke lineup for everywhere you want to play. Knowing at least what you'll do with your smoke and your flash.
If you do those, you'll get a huge boost. Just being more consistent and being able to cover maps that people ignore will help: remember, they play Anubis as much as you. Almost never. Just the tiniest bit of knowledge of the weird maps is huge.
what is the best way to figure out timings if your a solo player?
experience, like for example sometimes you feel something wrong when it too silent so you need to push for information, or it too chaotic in the site you hold for many round and need to stack 4 people there. Just keep playing and you figure it yourself
Rewatch your games and make note of timings, go on offline server practice mode and spawn yourself and run to the pos you wanna figure out - or dont waste your time and get coached ;P
„You were playing dumb as fuck“ 😂😂😂 polish honesty ❤
😂😂🤷
Nothing wrong playing trollmaps like Mirage and Office they are only maps i play. Never leave a site you hold when no one seen bomb. You got 40 sec to defuse and every round is 1.55. Most players have no patients. Learn where head is in most situations and clear spots on map. On Mirage you get the feeling when ekonomi is bad they orten rush b so after 2 lost rounds in a row they May rush b..but you get a feeling if you play 10h/day
🙄
10:57 i would've just gave up on him when he said that lmao
I was truly shocked
Gotta stay cool though😂
hi in smth like 7k nobody commmunicates much less call out positions in freeze time (I just passed 8k)
True
That's why they lose. Try saying hello at the start of each game, after warmup (never during, weird tradition). It encourages other people to use their mics. Even if they're not calling out, you still can, obviously it will hurt a little.
@@kalreynolds5829 that’s exactly what I do. After warmup I say hello once or twice and 99% of the time no one says anything back
What stat decides if you rank up? Kills, damage, wins?
Wins. And that's it
@@SK-zu8pw Wow... That explains so much...
@@AndreasHontzia and what ranks the enemys have. Say you have 10k elo and play with a 15k elo friend. Your enemys will have around 12-13k elo. In case of a win you will gain much more elo than your mate, even if he does 30kills and you do 2 kills. That's the reason people thta play together much will end up on the same rank after time even if they are not nearly equally skilled.
@@SK-zu8pw For Premier this is clear, as it is stated, what a win or a loss will change. But for the ranking of the individual maps you get no indicator, what changed after a game.
@@AndreasHontzia For CSGO I'm pretty sure that it was the same ranking system like premier in cs2 only with rank symbols instead of a number. For the cs2 individual maps it's unclear to me. Most people say it is not really working by now because all people seem to be around s3-gn4
On raw mechanics transferred from Valorant I am soloQ just under 20k premiere in CS2 but I am lost whenever I que comp... I can't play in silver lobbies. Nothing makes sense!
Eventually you want to go for a HS. Like a Valorant HS, you know
😂
that's an INTJ if I've ever seen one.
Nah man, I'm the protagonist more
My gf is this type though😂
bro i was s2 in csgo and im mg1 now in cs2
gj
Good lesson but man i dunno if this kid is retaining any of it ngl
Well everyone is retaining differently
Hopefully I made a good job making him realize stuff
I dropped from 2500elo to 1500 since cs2 release and I cant stop losing haha.
Well, the only way is up now
bro is playing mirage and has polish acccent, he must be polish
Naah, he's from US
What is elo?
Hmm?
new to the game brother
@@pienixcs
Get out of elo hell by playing the game, if you’re stuck in low elo you belong there
Agree
What I've come to realize is that the students that talk or try to reason the most are always the lowest elo players.
The better you are the more you realize how much you don't know
I do like when the players talk and asking questions because sometimes I’ll be thinking the same exact thing
Bro would not stfu and let the pro teach lmao.
;/
Bro you look like JKS
he was always talking about val, bro tf
Haha 😂
Love the vids but this kid you’re coaching is irritating to listen to
Not to me, just skip the vid - there's plenty more ppl I coached who you might enjoy watching
You can’t get out because there are no real silvers. There are people like me with thousands of hours and yeah sometimes noobs but rarely
What do you mean?
@@pienixcs I mean that without a full premate team its nearly impossible because you don’t face actual silvers
Most silvers were Gold Nova-MGE before and are stuck there
Real beginners are fucked
Its useful until you play against full stack of players with chinese alphabet as their name
😂😂😂
low ranks you just need aim
Great content Pienix, This guy kept on talking over you every time and not listening to what you saying, shame.
It doesn't bother me at all, he listened at least a bit I think
I don't even know what most of the stuff he says means lol
🤷😅
literally just use your brain. 7k elo top frag literally with no (or very quiet) audio. dont focus on killing, focus on winning. the kills will sort themselves out.
maybe play a simpler first person shooter first? like quake? got to start somewhere before you start worrying about strats and smokes and flashes.
Wait what do you mean?
He's obviously a begginer and doesn't want to sabotage this game - just use his brain won't be enough ;/
The best way to develop your brain with FPS shooter is to develop your own intuition by playing simpler games first or by slowing down your games and focusing on the simplicities of it first.
At early ranks, it can be easy to blame 'elo hell' and sometimes your team needs to be convinced to try, but also a lot of the time you can really work wonders by just getting an early round pick on a person with a simple SMG rush and falling back for the rest of the round and letting your teammates mop up, even if they're not as good as you.
Perhaps a good pointer for a complete beginner is to play slow enough to the point where you individually don't feel overwhelmed. Playing slow is not about camping site vs rushing. You can push deep behind enemy lines and still play slow. What I mean is do not force yourself to do crazy flicks, more like just hold a corner and sit there for 10 seconds, quietly. Patiently observing often gives you hints of info that can paint much larger picture. And if CS2 is too overwhelming even when you play slow, just pick up a SIMPLER game, like Quake or any older FPS. Fewer mechanics means more introspection and self-focus, learning enemy patterns rather than focusing on your own mechanics.
CS2 is deceptively simple, but in actuality it's very complex. It places too much responsibility on sole individuals so if you're a beginner you will drag a lot of others down. It is NOT a beginner game. Also, the game really empowers people with natural talent. The mechanics are definitely learnable, but you're competing with people who might've been playing FPS for 20+ years, let alone playing a Counter Strike game for 20+ years. The complexity of the game really shines when you start understanding enemy behaviors based on the first 10-20 seconds of round start.
Anecdotal experience: I've coached a struggling UK female player for around 3-4 years up from silver rank to Legendary Eagle, always blamed PC or other teammates, etc.. However she played EVERYDAY even during college, and that certainly grows some thinking skills over time. I've always tried to prove a point that mechanical skill is not important even when I play with 150-200 ping from California in London servers. I would say just casually enjoying the gameplay is most important. I regularly play with low ELO people on a daily casual basis, but played only Global Elite matchmaking for an extended time, too.
@@retagainezI don't agree
Mechanical skills is the most important skill
And playing other games won't make you better at CS so just throw yourself into the chaos and figure things along the way
I would argue you overwhelmed him with way too many small techniques. He needs to learn how to walk first before he starts using common smoke or flashbang positions. He is literally saying his movement is really bad, its way more important to pick up on his feedback he's giving you.
Teaching fundamentals can be done with a structure. Maybe choosing less complex games where movement doesn't affect aiming but its part of the gameplay, or maybe just focusing on playing on a retakes server, or a surf server, or maybe just a private server where you can create a set of common scenarios with small lessons in between them all. It would be best to ask HIM what he thinks he could learn, and if that's not immediately available, the first goal would be to discover what you should first work on with him. It is very expensive to coach somebody like this, but repetition is key. If your friend plays with the same teammate for years and years, especially a better skilled one, they will easily pick up on your own patterns and learn how to extrapolate your game sense onto the enemy's behaviors. Most people's gameplay converges towards a singular common style.
@@retagainez but that's only demo review part - we did work on the basics dw ;)
Way to many cheaters playing this game.
Well it's ez to cheat
imo: If you can't get to at the very very least LEM in match making, it's because you have senior citizen reaction times, and storm trooper aim. Someone with moderate to "good" aim should be able to make it to LEM without having to study the game. Some might even argue this for ALL of MM up to global.
Yeah imo you’re wrong
@@Lol-qf4rtno he's absolutely right i got to Lem 3 years ago without knowing a single smoke just raw aim, and my aim was no where near how it is right now
@@giovannivandereecken5133 tbh years ago, in csgo MM, it felt like only 5 stacks would use util and other than that, barely any. I would practically never get flashed for example, and i got up to LEM. More recent csgo and cs2, It seems like people are watching more youtube or wahetver and know more util and can think for themselves, across the ranks. I also have been baited by people who "aim" well constantly and just silently rage because the obvious answer from them is "you just suck shut the fuck up *n word*"
Beyond wrong
@@bloxer9563 to be fair, my comment implies that once I hit LEM shit changed, and I started getting full blind moments I never had before
your mirage ct talking is complete bs ! we can disguss if u want
sure thing, just link your faceit profile or steam profile (set the same nickname as here for authenticity) so we can all see who's talking
Then i'll happily discuss anything you think is bs
Really annoying that this fucking guy keeps talking over you. When people who know nothing about something im good at talk over me while i explain it i get so irritated.
I couldnt get through the vid because of it not your fault

Pro tip for the silver breathe through your nose and stop talking so much omg
🙏
pienix, you are a good player, but you are not a good teacher for the masses. Teaching Silvers is waste of your time.
It's not, I love to teach silvers
Who tf plays on mirage bruh. Easily thw worst map in the map pool. I insta kick the map
It's most popular pug map so many ppl like it trust
Buy top tier hardware, pay a professional to configure your system for least latency, buy top tier peripherals, get a boosting service, get a shitload of skins so people dont report you for smurfing and assume youre legit because no poorman would risk 20k inventory, find friends with similar setting, realize the game is pay to win, filled with cheaters and smurfs, and that your chances of playing on at least semi pro level are close to 0 and you wont get revenue out of the game. Then, try to become a streamer, quit because nobody watches you, and after X years of not achieving anything significant in the game, attempt being a coach.
Ez.

Denialists. Denialists everywhere.
or we can play the game for fun and enjoy improving. you wrote a whole paragraph just to project your toxic feelings
"Projection is a form of defense in which unwanted feelings are displaced onto another person, where they then appear as a threat from the external world. A common form of projection occurs when an individual, threatened by his own angry feelings, accuses another of harbouring hostile thoughts."
