So after the disaster that I posted about some days ago, I was fed up with matchmaking for a bit. Today I played a match again and it made up for everything bad.

At first it looked bad, I was AGAIN paired up with four freaking Russians (what's up with that, Russia is FAR away from the very west of Germany - are there not enough Europeans queueing?). BUT they were decent players, nice (dropped when it made sense etc.) and it worked out well, we won 16 : 7. Obviously we couldn't communicate since they were only talking in Russian but I just gave them the bomb T-side and in general waited for them to make a play and then just follow along. Ended up top-fragging with a 30-bomb anyways haha, 31 : 13 in the end.

Haven't played a MM game in months, and I sucked when I last played (8 game losing streak and struggling to go even). Decided I'd try again today, and demolished the other team going 32-11. Valve must've taken pity on me and put me with the trackpad players.

Even whilst we were 12-4, somebody tried kicking a team member because he couldn't speak English.

Valve bumped peoples ranks so you might have easier opponents now at the same ranks.

Playing LEM and doing badly on Nuke and we're working ramp, the guy goes "there may be one in the corner", I go to peek him and he kills me with his CZ which is a loud gun as you guys certainly know. The next guy peeks out like 5 seconds ago, having no intention to trade the kill, gets killed with his awp and yells at me "if you're gonna bottom list at least make some calls" but he was right behind me when I got killed so he should've known he was there... There's nothing more annoying than people telling me where the guy is when I obviously heard him so wtf

How do I tell what my ingame dpi is? My mouse is set to 1800 dpi, windows setting is 6/11, and ingame sensitivity is x2.5, so I think thats 4500. Just sounds really high.

That's not how it works, DPI is a value that's relevant only to your sensor in your mouse (hardware)! It doesn't get "multiplied" by your sensitivity settings. Basically the DPI setting affects how much distance the sensor on your mouse (hardware) traveled when it was moved by an inch. Then in Windows and in your game (software), that value is taken and modified based on your Windows/ingame settings and that's your sensitivity.

So to measure/compare sensitivity you need to know the original hardware DPI AND the ingame sensitivity (windows sensitivity is assumed to be 6/11). That's why you see stuff like "400 DPI 1.3", "400 DPI 1.6" etc. on many stream FAQ sections.

1800 DPI 2.5 is extremely high in my opinion, I would suggest turning it down bit by bit and playing some aim maps/DM to get accustomed to it, then set it a bit lower again etc rinse and repeat until you feel that your aim is getting better. Of course, some people swear on high sensitivity so if that doesn't work for you then you can always go back.

Just keep lowering it bit by bit (1-200 DPI, 0.1-2 sens in game) until you get to a point where its not comfortable for you anymore and you can't handle it. Then go back up to where you can, thats your sweet spot.

No use listening to people who tell you you need 1 sens 400 DPI if you simply aren't comfortable and can't use it.

I ended up at 800/2.5 before i couldn't take it and thats way high by most peoples standards.

At 800 dpi and 3 sens you can do a 180 with a slight wrist turn, there is absolutely no reason to go above that to be honest. You gain literally nothing unless the only thing you like to do is spinning around or not hitting your shots.

But, but, but, my 250/1.3 is the best setting out there!

Just use whatever you are comfortable with. There are some pros who even use mouse acceleration! Presumably they will have to use that mouse for the rest of their lives but whatever. As long as you don't skip pixels and are fully capable of moving from pixel to pixel, you should be fine. 1800 dpi 2.5 is too high I think. You'll move like 5cm to do a 180 turn.

I've only skimmed by the last 6-7 pages but i'd figure I would comment on the general theme of the discussion for the last few.

I'd recommend not putting too much weight into the competitive MM as an indication of your personal skill.
MM while a great way to get your feet wet for competitive play - pugs (pick up games) are a good way to waste time with friends, but I feel from a practice prospective would be better spent death-matching or playing with your team.

If you've never played with or on a team for US players I would recommend ESEA for EU I would checkout the ESL.
While I can't comment on EU as much since I live in US. This part will be the hardest for any new player looking to get into competitive counter-strike - you'll run into players who are not much better then your average open player, yet will insist their way is the only way to play counter-strike and anyone who doesn't see it that way is a "noob" or a "nobody"

The number one thing to look for while searching for a team is:
Make sure the people you are playing with you enjoy - it will make things _much_ easier.
It helps if you have a practice schedule you all can agree to.
Talk it out with the members before you join, its important to check that your goals align.
You wouldn't want to join a team thats looking to be the next IEM champions when your only looking to advance the next tier of league.

As a general rule of thumb for mouse sensitivity it comes down to what your most comfortable with.
As long as you can still dodge flashes and are comfortable - I would stick with it as it will only get better the more it becomes muscle memory.

I would also recommend: -noforcemparms -noforcemaccel -noforcemspd for Launch options if that still works in go.

If anyone needs help or has a question feel free to pm me

Playing ESEA before one gets to around badge/double ak is going to be a waste of money; you're gonna get fuckin worked. Furthermore, the vast majority of players don't have the time nor motivation needed to find and play with a team, so while I can appreciate your advice insofar as not basing too much off of MM, average players aren't going to have any other choice.

I don't know where this "death match a lot to get your aim up" advice comes from. I don't feel like I can train my aim at death match at all. All I learn is spraying all the time and get shot from behind every 10-30 seconds.

It's good to play 10 mins of it to snap back into CS mouse sensitivity. Especially if you use a different mouse sensitivity for work or browsing. It's good for when you just started playing the game and can't aim. I don't know if anybody actively recommends deathmatching for hours just to practice aiming though if you haven't just started plaing the game though.

it should be teaching you crosshair placement at the very least, which is honestly one of the best things you can learn to rank up and it's the hardest thing to teach.
