Learning all the different kinds of smokes and pop flashes helps a lot. I spend a lot of time learning (and forgetting) smokes/flashes because the people I play with simply don't, and it makes taking and defending sites a lot harder if you don't know how to smoke/flash.

I got called a hacker and was apparently reported for the first time today for checking corners and hiding spots. Feels good.

Last 19 bets, won only 2. And those werent even underdog. How do people win skins? I really have no fucking clue apparently. When I bet high on 70%, it's always a loss. I just can NOT seem to find the right formula.

Four weeks ago I was silver elite master. Two weeks later I made GN3. Now I'm back down to silver elite master.

Why is it so hard to be consistent in this game?

I wouldn't bet on any favored team if they're favored by 70% or more. And I wouldn't bet on underdogs unless you think that the odds for them are too low (like the odds say 25% but you think more like 35%).

I've been playing/watching this game competitively for a few weeks now and I'm really loving it a lot. Being able to approach a game from a competitive standpoint, even as a noob, is really exciting because I feel like I know exactly what kinds of questions I need to be asking in order to improve (coming as a master SC2 player). However the matchmaking is really hit-or-miss, especially since I keep getting matched with Russians that either cannot or will not speak in English when the team needs to plan something. Therefore all of the T rounds seem pretty fucked on most maps, since it's hard enough to take a site when people are randomly flashing me or running the bomb in the wrong direction (maybe that's just silver league though).

If anyone here wants to queue up together, send me PM! I'm only Silver Elite now but I think it would be way more fun playing with people who have the same improvement-oriented mindset and are willing to work together.

That's funny, i always find CT side to be the bitch to play if your team is really uncooperative. At least with T side you can follow the group to A/B and create your own plays that way.

I actually have the best success betting on 70-80%. I find that people like to pick the underdogs for the potential big win so those odds should be much higher, say 90-95.

Funny that, I can usually get by with hardly any communication on CT side. Everbody usually just defaults to a position. Though obviously if there is one guy shifting about, it can cause problems, but it's not as bad as it looks as it occasionally cancels out when the T side rushes the entire team down a side that has one more CT than expected.

T side, a lack of communication I find is more difficult, but as long as they are actively trying to win and poke a bit and retreat, it can cause a lot of confusion to the CT. Bascially, unless everyone else on the team wants to rush to a particular site, the best thing to do is to do what you feel is best and never, never, never talk shit on the mic.

Dunno man, it just doesn't seem like the odds say ANYTHING at all, I lose 80%, and I also lose on underdogs getting 29-31 rounds etc etc. I feel so cheated

I've lost around 15 dollars on those 19 bets so it's not really that bad money wise but that's basically my whole inventory. Learned the hard way that I shouldn't be betting on skins I use ^^ VP teaches me well.

welcome to csgo! here's our google docs for finding teammates, I know there's a couple EU players that can play with ya. Feel free to ask any csgo questions (don't ask me about betting).

2 things. You're over playing or you're not warming up properly/enough. Consistency comes with time and with having the right mental attitude. CS is a extremely tough game to keep focus in for a straight 30 rounds and if you don't warm up nor have your mental state ready to play, you'll fuck up

Yeah, I've been warming up with 1-3 DM games (usually playing until I feel comfortable), but that doesn't always seem to help---I'll get into a matchmaking game and I still can't hit anything. Probably true that I overplay at times, but I think part of it is that aiming in DM games is not quite the same as MM. I think I also get fixated on certain things that work and then over time forget about other important things, like keeping crosshair at headshot level.

That said, I've been having more success recently by working on my prefiring. Prefiring long A, taking shots through smoke, playing a kind of Battleships-esque guessing game about where the other players are hiding and when they're going to peek. Much easier to beat another player on the draw if you don't always wait to have vision of them.
