After the new system was implemented I lost two ranks. I went down from Gold Nova master to Gold Nova II. Today, after a few troll games and some tryhard games I got back into Gold Nova III. I'm quite satisfied with that.
Do something today that your future self will be thankful for.

Im in a funny place.. I dont play alot but like if theres a long weekend I will play like 10 games in a row. So invariablly I get my eagle back.

Then I stop playing for a couple of weeks and the first game I lose I will lose it. I think Ive ranked and deranked like 3-4 times in between LE and DMG. Makes me wonder if I should just find a 5 stack and grind another streak so Im safely in the middle of the LE pike. But then RL to stronk.

It counts as a brag because I never hit Global in the old ranking system which is new SMFC. Totally counts.

finally completed my first 10 competitive matches and got ranked as Gold Nova II. Not too bad but I have a long way ahead of me!

Went from MG2 to GN4 in 3 losses. Worked my way back to MGE in 1 and a half months .

Now I feel like I've hit a wall, and most of the people playing with me are ex-LEs/ and occasionally Supremes. Any advice for improvement is appreciated. I feel like movement is the biggest issue for me, but I cant figure out how to practise movement.

Edit: Also any advice to increase my map pool - I currently only play Mirage, D2, Train, Inferno and occassionally Cache. Should I create a smurf and practise unknown maps on lower levels? I have no clue about timings and callouts on maps like overpass, cbble etc.

Practice your aim religiously. Frag your way past LE's!

Alternatively, watch your own replays and figure out reoccurring problems you are having. Are you playing certain positions poorly, are you playing well but getting outshot?

For moving I actually enjoy headshot servers. Because you cant tag someone, juking and stutter stepping shooting gets drilled really hard. Or go into aim botz, throw up the barricades and practice your shooting from cover.

I personnally really don't like headshot servers. It teaches bad habits imo, where you could have gotten a kill with a good spray.

Maybe I spray too much actually, but I've gotten pretty good at controlling my spray at all distances, which is really useful because spraying is so strong in csgo compared to tapping.

Very nice.

One thing tho, I can't help but notice that your crosshair is twitching all the time. Your sensitivity might be too high :D

Yeah. I have a buddy who is very highly ranked, and he's helped me set it everything much better and he's teaching me all sort of basic stuff.

And I do have Parkinsons ..

had a lot of time in feb. and ranked up to DMG. yay! mostly solo queue as well. don't really feel like I have hit peak yet. one more rank should be doable, my awp aim and pistol is pretty ok, though rifle aim is sometimes totally fine and then spray of fail...

time is very limited very soon again

MG1 on Asia servers now. I still magically pull the Chinese/Russian/Korean/Filipino people who force buy every round, so it`s painful yet. I speak Japanese and household Tagalog, but only the Japanese people listen. In my experience, Russians speak Russia and Chinese play muted a lot.

But last night, I pseudo-IGLd for a 5stack of me, 3 American dudes in Korea, and my Japanese friend from Osaka. We ended up coming back from a 4-11 deficit to tie 15-15 and getting curb stomped by smurfs/wallers 4-16 or something, but damn if it wasn`t the most fun I`ve had in a while playing this game.

Remember kids, good teammates > good ranks every day of the week.

And the best part? I didn`t derank!
