I find it kinda weird I play like just enough to make sure my MMR doesnt reset. And the re calibration didn't affect me at all.

I was at LE before it and Ive played maybe 20 games since and im still there. Half the LEM's and SMFC's in my lists are sitting at Double AK and MG.

Finally made it in MGE post rank nerf. I was playing in G4 and MG1 up and down for a few weeks right after nerf. Then MG1 and MG2 for a while. And lately I've been steady MG2 for at least 15 games. And the last game of yesterday I got that double AK for the first time since nerf.

I am aware I'll probably rank down, but I'll keep working on the little things to get better. I'm definately the best I've ever been right now.

I finally ranked back up to MG1 after somewhat consistently playing well with my teacher 5stack. We`re all foreigners teaching in Asia, and we all enjoy winning but they don`t practice as much as I do, so I consistently end up top 2 on the scoreboard (but whatever). So I rank up and they all leave `cause they have lives and girlfriends and are in Korea so I decide to play a few games solo.

Game 1:
I speak Japanese.
I get paired with 3 Chinese who don`t speak at all (and force up every round) and a prepubescent Taiwanese kid who speaks English fluently.
The Taiwanese kid cries and ragequits after we`re down 10-14 or something.
The Chinese guys break their silence to tell him that "we want [him] to shut the fuck up".
The Chinese dudes were bad too, but at least they didn`t cry about every little thing.
The other team was at least 80% Japanese. Thanks, Gaben.

Game 2:
Now I`m on a team of Koreans who don`t communicate at all the entire game and force buy ever round.
I`m against the 3 Chinese guys from last game and, contrary to how awful they were the game before, they completely rail us.

Probably gonna never make it out of MG1 in Asia at this rate and there doesn`t seem to be much I can do about it... ;_;

I would just go back to the shooting range (I train at: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=419404847 ) and perfect my aim. Team mates can suck but with a good aim, you can get a superior advantage at MG1.

I've been doing the shooting range for about a month now, but I don't feel its transfering well. What other things could I do to perfect my aim? I play really well on maps I find it easy to rely on my movement/placement, but on cbble, on CT statue, I feel I need that superior aim.
I feel DM ain't doing good, it's just a zergfest. Maybe casual servers, but I feel it's not that effective due to downtime :/

Go DM in Community servers. You'll get a lot more from that than from the Valve DM. Usually no downtime, FFA (so you don't spend half the time trying to avoid your teammates to find enemies) quick respawn, any weapon you'd like whatever the side, etc.

People are usually better on these maps also, and that helps pushing you to step up your aim.

Also worth trying: aim maps (my favorite is still aim_redline), I find it helps with angles and peeking. Then, practice practice practice.

What I usually like to do: community DMs, aim maps, recoil master (search that on the Workshop, truly helps with spray patterns), training aim csgo (shooting targets in quick succession).
Training aim: improves the ability to snap quickly and precisely to a target.
Recoil master: improves the ability to spray
Aim maps: trains your corner to corner duel capabilities
Community DM: trains dueling, so aim and movements combined.

If I may suggest a few:
- the BrutalCS servers (they have a lot of different modes, HSMOD, classic DM, Pistols, etc.)
- MER IL ET FOU (quality server and good opponents usually)

Don't have others on top of my head, it's good to keep a few favorited because good DM servers often tend to be full...

lol just got ranked up to silver elite 4 or whatever, still top 2 fragging, generally getting 18-25 kills depending on the map/team composition. It's annoying when you have a smurf on your team 50 bombing and taking all the kills

Nova here I come!

Thanks a lot. Those arena servers was very addicting and fun. A friend of mine who never stopped playing cs since 1.2, gave me a few as well.
Only have like 250ish hours in go, but played cs 1.1 and a year or two into 1.6. That's like 12 years ago.
About 50% of time spent in csgo have been getting my aim back up, and a lot of focus on spray. It reallly pays off when I compare to another friend of mine who are in the same spot.

Sounds like some serious MMR decay. Have fund stomping some newbies. We might even meet on MM if you keep playing it
