Counter-Strike: Global Offensive v5 "Who the fuck is Sergei?"

[Awaken90125]

[QUOTE=Derposaurus;47927212]C9 is on fire, cache is probably their best map (and they 16-10'd Nihilum on it less than a week ago), and they just beat Nihilum on Inferno less than an hour ago. C9 is also top of FaceIt league, while Nihilum is near the bottom, so C9 has more at stake here. I'd say its safe but it's still a BO1.[/QUOTE]

Yeah the BO1 part is the hard part

Fuck it, just put down a $4 bet and will max relax EnvyUs vs HR

Thanks to the new update, I can't play competitive cs:go with many of my friends who only occationally play cs:go now :(

[blazingfly]

So I checked my reaction time and it's always high 200s, like, 280.. 270, sometimes 300+

This kind of leads me to believe that any more aim training stuff is going to be pointless because at the base of it my reaction times are too slow to be competitive.

Would anyone else mind checking their reaction time and post their rank?

I'm pretty sure the faster your reaction time the higher the rank, on average.

At MGE rank. I did this while really wired though. I'd expect what Kiwi got on a normal day. (It says 6 of 5 because I accidentally clicked twice on the last one and had to do it again)

For improvements, check [url=https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/1usjdb/how_can_someone_effectively_improve_their/]this reddit post[/url] for some tips

Edit: After using Aimbooster for about 20 minutes, I already feel more confident on my snapping to target skills. Of course I'd have to translate it to CS:GO sensitivity but the foundation is there.

I feel like the skill gap has gone down now that I've hit DMG, I've won 8 matches straight....

Lots of weird matches too, just got of a nuke match were we went 12-3 at half-time then somehow ended 16-10 with second place on the enemy team being 20 kills behind first place on their team.

Also had a match where my team decided to just 100% fuck around, we convinced the CT side to take three of us "hostage". We crab walked through bombsite A on nuke outside then to their spawn with four of their guys just looking at us.

DMG is a weird rank.

Taking time to edit clips again. I did some stupid deagle shots.

Today my Benq xl2411z monitor arrived and I discovered my lappy's display ports are for the integrated graphics and not my 680m. Woo.

Haven't built a rig for 7 years so I said why the hell not. spending 1k USD to run my 300$ monitor. saved money though by using my old corsair psu. I might kiss the UPS guy when he delivers.

All of this for CS:GO streaming of course :D

What are pro reaction times? Sub 180?

[Altimor]

[QUOTE=litestrike;47928396]What are pro reaction times? Sub 180?[/QUOTE]

200+ for the few I've heard of, it's not a major factor.

[Rob3k]

So apperently, my matches aren't showing up in the match tab of my demos.

[QUOTE=litestrike;47928396]What are pro reaction times? Sub 180?[/QUOTE]

It's less reaction time more game knowledge. From knowing when to peek, when to reload, when to throw nades... etc.

[Ogris]

[QUOTE=litestrike;47928396]What are pro reaction times? Sub 180?[/QUOTE]

Doesn't get right have like ~300?

Unless you're an AWPer reaction time is mostly irrelevant, it's about who picks the better fight.

[ColdAsRice]

yep, stupid demos aren't there

oh yeah, just played a game with three other facepunchers, I camped b site inferno for the last 4 rounds with an autosniper magdumping and the t's literally ran into my stream of bullets every single time. No smoke, no flash. The salt and stupidity at MG1 is real

[gk99]

Had a good comp game. Ranked to MG1 after it, got trashtalked at the beginning of the match when we got into a 10-round losing streak, trashtalked them at the end when we won 16-14.

Keep in mind, I wasn't even going to laugh at them until they started getting pissy because one of us had an auto they couldn't counter.

I was > 200ms a few years ago, reaction time is one of the slower things to improve but it is possible. Proper nutrition affects your mental performance as much as your physical performance too.

[krail]

I'm sceptical that seeing a screen go from red to green translates that well seeing a guy come around a corner in cs

ie pros may have much better reaction time in-game than according to any kind of general reaction time test

If you're watching a narrow angle it should be similar, but yeah sound and movement reactions are different and usually faster.

This in addition to the fact humans react to things in the corner of their view and physical/aural sensations faster than looking at something and reacting.

Not for everyone, my reaction time is slightly worse and a lot less consistent in my peripheral vision.

I hope it entices people to actually give a shit when they analyze Overwatch cases.

When do you usually get Overwatch access? I'm sitting on 92 competitive wins now ranked G4 ~ MG1

I'm pretty sure it's 150 wins, but I don't really remember.

256ms avg - LEM

I personally don't think it's something you should care that much. Like I normally read everywhere, unless you are an AWPer it's not that meaningful.
