I'm learning the game more (I want to start playing at a competitive level) so I'm on the lookout for some good demos that demonstrate good play.
GotFrag doesn't really help me on this since they usually upload the demos with 30 frags each half, nothing else really fancy after that.
I'm usually a rifler, and play at B/Mid on D2, Banana on Inferno, Hut/Ramp on Nuke and Inside on Train (is that all you need to know?)

You should learn how to play all the spots on all maps so you will be able to rotate and cover them when a teammate dies. I think the first step is learning all the spam spots on the maps and the different spots to throw flashes to take over the sites.

SK-gaming got some really nice demos of their players. I don't really follow the pro-scene anymore so I can't recommend a demo but they're all from high-skilled players. http://www.sk-gaming.com/cs/

A good start: lessons (in demo form): http://www.csgoodies.com/gbjames-cs-1.6-lessons/view-category.html
GotFrag doesn't really help me on this since they usually upload the demos with 30 frags each half, nothing else really fancy after that. Gotfrag is a great source for HLTV demos. HLTV demos are better in general since you can follow everyone and go "in-eyes" anyway. (PoV demos do let you see rifle control better). Just search for - fnatic - mtw or noa (previous name of mtw) - mym or pgs (previous name of mym) - sk, roccat, mouz, etc etc on GotFrag's demo section. They will show a variety ways to cover your positions. Experiment to find the ones that suit your style. Remember when and where flashbags are thrown.

check hltv.org / demos . a pretty big and good archive of cs demos. and yea, get experience on the maps (maybe start playing cbble as well); get used to the positions of your teammates and common spots of opponents (pred.-shots, he and stuff). u`ll need to know the most common maps by heart, where to stand, hide, shoot, how many seconds the opponents need to reach another spot, etc.
when did u start playing cs? i've been playing for yrs already and still discover new strategies and stuff regulary. play against opponents who are better than u to see ur mistakes and their strengths

Check out Geunchul 'SOLO' Kang "Doin it Solo" on youtube or grab the full VOD from Chillside. It's some fucking ridiculous shit
oh yeah and blah blah blah you're resisting change by not switching to CSS.
*Boom* headshot

readmore.de it has every point of view/hltv demo from every other site including insider NiP/Sk.swe demos
i offer lessons on cs, i used to them off of fpstrainers.com but now I just do private ones, I'll help you out if you want, the ping difference might be a little hard though ^__^

also, watching professional players demos arent that helpful unless you know what to watch for(i can help you with that) because their movement is alot more fluent than yours along with their aiming and controls of every gun.

Steps:
1. Get a good wired internet connection (T3 would be nice) with a gaming router hopefully counter-strike has it's ports forwarded 2. Great gaming rig with soaring FPS (200+ preferablly and that is easily done with a good dual core and an 8800 gt.) 3. Great gaming mouse i recommend the G9 for these FPS games http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826104079 4. Claw hand position (look it up online) 5. Great mousepad 6. Very responsive monitor 7. and a lot of spare time i guess
most of these things will just give you big advantages over your opponent at home

dunno that any of the top players would use a G9.
Steelseries Ikari, MSI 3.0, Razer Deathadder, Logitech MX518 are the top choices atm.
But in the end you have to decide what suits you best. I don't know how well versed you are with all these config things. -noforcemparms -noforcemaccel -freq 100 are standard as launch options. Try if it feels better for you with or without the cpl mousefix (I assume you are using XP) and switch your mouserate to something above 125 hz to get better accuracy. (I'm using 1000 hz but not all mice support it)
If you are expert at all these things already, nevermind.

Read the free playbooks at gotfrag- look PoV demos on gotfrag as well and if you really want to learn more then get a premium ESEA(professional pugging system) + gotfrag account and play/read all the good shit that premium gives and you'll learn alot

1) how am i going to get T3 in australia, i am not made of money 2) you dont need 200fps to play a ten year old game, 100 fps is fine for me, thanks. 3) i already have a razerback and g9 is a crap mouse anyway 4) how is grip of the mouse going to give me an advantage? im fine holding it how i am at the moment. 5) already have a steelpad qck 6) monitor is fine

But in Europe and especcialy Sweden/Denmark its stronger then ever. (Atleast second strongest period in Sweden, maybe the old school year of SEL and Rixhack were better)

jame^s is a fucking joke.
GTR, my recommendation is to find a player with your style/position. You're simply not going to be able to emulate their consistent aim, but you can get a feel for how aggressive they are and some of the tricks they use.
Get glass maps if you can, and practice wall spamming. Any set ups you do will come down to whoever you're playing with, so you have to let your teamates know what you're doing and what you want.
After that, you just practice. I never really watched demos for anything besides strategy/tactics or to be impressed, so I'm not sure if it'll help. The best way I've found to help aim is by playing Q3 or UT2k4.

G9 is a crappy laser mouse. Get a MX518 or Razer OPTICAL mouse, depending on your preference of hand shape.
CRT is best, you want to be able to run the game at 100hz.
None of these things give you big advantages, however (besides the ping.) Anyone can adjust to shitty fps or a shitty mouse/monitor and play well/

I would recommend Zet. A very agressive and insane CW/B holder
