This video explains the concept pretty well
My experience in silver is limited to 2 placements matches, because I used to play 1.6 and got placed in AK ranks, but from those two games and what I saw on Destiny's stream I can assure you that if your aim is decent and you don't play too risky (because even at silver going 1V4 often ends up with you dying), you'll climb to AK really quickly.

The biggest thing to take from this is that always keep your crosshair at headshot level and always have your crosshair at where an enemy could potentially be. I still see people fuck this shit up, even at DMG level (where I was at one time....)

Big reason why I don't play solo queue any more. I like the idea of playing with people I know, and I've noticed that when I play with my friends I don't get shot in the back as often.

I need to solo queue more, when I queue with friends, I tend get shot in the back more...

In my experience getting shot by friendly fire seems independent of whether or not you solo queue. Mistakes happen; sometimes you react to sound subconsciously and turn and shoot before you can see the target or you are both strafing or aiming across a far target and get into each other's sights.

Unless you are talking about being shot at spawn deliberately, in which case it's rare that I've seen it happen to someone who wasn't being an asshole in chat or mike.

Okay I am pretty new to Counterstrike, silver 3, and I am always doing well regardless of the quality of my team. But there is something I would like to ask someone more experienced.

Is it me or are smoke grenades completely and utterly broken(as in powerful), along with creating unimaginable complexity. I fucking love smoke grenades and do stuff like purchase galils instead of AKs if I can't afford a smoke grenade. Is this incorrect? Am I over rating smoke grenades? I just don't have enough knowledge to make a informed decision on this, I don't really know the difference between a mediocre smoke and a good smoke(the bad ones are completely obvious the moment you throw them haha). I would highly appreciate opinions on this.

.
That said, don't focus too much on fancy smoke/flashbang throws, just learn the very basic ones and focus a lot on improving your aim and crosshair placement if you want to improve.

This comment is 100% true for anyone new reading this. Buddy of mine was DMG after 3 weeks of playing, and I've still never seen him buy a grenade, sometimes doesn't even buy armor. It's all from his aim gained from years of Sudden Attack previously. So yeah, grenades mean nothing until the top levels I've learned.

I was trying to bet some items for the first time on Navi against NIP on CSGO lounge (I have a feeling), I started trying 3 hours before the match starts. No chance though, they're completely overloaded or something.

Also, my last two games of MM (premade!) have been terrible. One game two of my teammates decide to leave midgame (and we were up 10-4 T side Nuke mind you) and the game todaywas us (1 silver 4, 2 gold nova 2, 1 single AK and 1 unranked) up against (2 gold nova 4, 2 single AK and 1 double AK). Where's the logic in that MM algorithm.

Tried to play a game because I figured servers might have unshit themselves overnight...nope. 300 ping spikes that last several rounds before going back to normal and losing because of it. Awesome.

At the moment steam seems to be dying every evening (around 18 CEST or something). Don't know if they're getting DDOS'd and whatnot but it's annoying... Also screw playing with a lower ranked friend and getting matched with awful people but versus decent people, 3 kill/round or lose \o/

Oh fucking wonderful. Navi won against NIP and I tried betting on them for THREE FUCKING HOURS before the game started and csgolounge wouldn't work. It was really good odds (70-30) too. That's it, that would've been a great start into me betting on CSGO but I'm not doing it. Too aggravating with shitty providers such as csgolounge.

Same, it kept saying "Bots are offline, please try again" "All queues are full, please try again" So frustrating even though I had a good feeling that they would win too

I'll tell you what's worked for me so far (bear in mind that I'm only GN1). Partly reworking my crosshair to be what I want, I use classic with a thin outline so I can see it against bright backgrounds---not the only option, better than the default. Then, playing an offline DM with no bots enabled and just working on countering spray patterns for the first 10-15 bullets. Get really familiar with how far off your crosshair each bullet is likely to fly, counteract that. Practice at different distances, just shooting at walls. Then play DM until you can consistently get a positive KDR with the AK and M4. Place crosshair to headshot with 1st bullet, then pull to counter spray patterns. Tinker with mouse sensitivity, precision over speed. Then just play competitive. Deselect the maps you don't want to deal with.
