Also, I've noticed some are actual FFA deathmatch servers which let you team kill as well, and I'd say to avoid those. Too chaotic.
Yes you can have proper crosshair placement playing dms but when there are 18 people in the server most of the time you won't get much done. The whole point of dm'ing is to try to play without sound and focus on reaction times, flicks and long distance aiming. Its a bit counter productive if you're cautiously running around with sound and focusing on crosshair placement.
Threads about aim come up a lot on ESEA forums and most of the responses involve "dm to 100 kills with ak, m4, awp every day" or "dm for 1-2 hrs a day", but everyone that suggests this has terrible stats and doesn't understand how to properly improve.

Playing dm does help at the start especially. You don't learn how to control your recoil or counter-strafing just by thinking you can do it. The point of DM is to throw you in a lot of situations without downtime so that you can experiment the first. You learn the most doing that by concentrating on exactly what you want to train (ie tapping, 2shot, 3shot, full spray) and only do that, or you can just yolo it and take every situation as they come. Regardless, it does help at the start. It wont do you any good for your gamesense, and little for your crosshair placement, altho you can force yourself to follow walls with your crosshair, say on dust2 DM.
You shouldnt do that all day tho. I treat it as warmup personnally now.

I agree that dm'ing is the way to go if you just got the game, but once you somewhat have the recoil and basic fundamentals down, you hit a point where you have to actually focus on the important things to get better. At that point it makes sense to warm up for 15 mins in a dm but my posts are generally focused on letting people know that dm'ing for hours every day is the most pointless thing you can do if you want to get better.
There are people that literally only deathmatch and complain about being stuck in low ranks when they probably play a few hours worth of matchmaking a week and spend the rest on aim training.

Yeah only dm wouldn't accomplish much once you've got aim/recoil down to a certain point aside from maintaining the muscle memory. Rest is playing in actual situations to gain that game sense you can only really get by playing competitive a lot. Watching some pro streams and pro games help too.

Dm is annoying when you have less than 8/9 people against you... and theres usually only 1/2 good players so if youre not bad you get lazy fast instead of being on edge :-( wish i could aim in competitive the way i do in dm though... cant help it people are better you cant play the same.

I've been playing the 1v1 arena maps which are pretty fun and good warm up for me. Also just any competitive map with 18-24 people so you have plenty of targets and make sure it's not a map that gives 16000.

Seems like a lot of people are ridiculous in dms but not so much in competitive, which is another reason why i absolutely hate dming.

Aim is half the game. You also need game sense so you know where people are.

Just takes a few more weeks for the cases to pay it off.

Wasn't GO 75% last sale? I swear I got it for less than 4 €. Still havn't played it but installed it now. Googling for a guide now to get my config ready.

Yeah it was, last year 75% off. This summer sale is a joke.

Gnah, I don't find what I'm looking for. I'm certain in this thread was a really good video with just 4 commands to adjust. Aligning server pings for example. Can anybody help me?

This what you're talking about?

setting rates doesnt really matter if you only play Valve servers (they cap it at 64 ticks anyways). If you play on 128 tick servers, then you'll need to change your rates.
