I started to watch CS in January 2021. But I launched the game for the first time in April. Before that I played CS in 2004 or 2006 in local computer club and it was 1.6. Now I have 56.6 hours (10 of them probably afk alt tab) and I can spend more time to play the game. But there are problems: 1) Watching professional CS for 2 years lead to understanding how basic acceptable level of CS must look like. How to get on the site, what minimum amount of utility needs, positions, etc. I got huge reality check not only because of teammates or opponents but me in the first place. Amount of frustration when I see what is going on in the game is incredibly high. 2) Matchmaking. Why do I see someone with 3k hours in my game? I can't hit moving target in the back because I have 50 hours and forced to play against 3k hours NiKo-wannabe oneshoting me every time he meets me. Not a problem generally, maybe it will accelerate my growth but how in Valve's plans are new players going to stay in this game after first matches? 3) Cheaters. I play Dota since 2005 and have never seen this amount of cheaters. And they are so fking shameless and don't hide at all. Just spin around with light speed giving headshots left and right. Moreover if this happens then someone from my team can tell something like "This mf turned on dirty shit. Don't worry I am gonna turn on too." The most ridiculous shit is mh/wh/aimbot in DMs!!! I can't get into CSGO players head at this point. Every time it is like art house movie from some small movie festival for cinephiles where you are watching a static scene for a 5 minutes and trying your fking best to get into deep meaning of all of this but you just can't on biological level. 4) Problem is closely related to p.2. Because I don't play with and against players with my amount of hours I rarely have a good communication with teammates. Yellow, didn't you hear him? Are you stupid? Yes I didn't, reacting to sound info is completely new game aspect for me so yes. Yellow you stupid. So I play with full mute. I don't see this as community problem it is' Valve's one. I am quite familiar with toxic environment having experience in Dota. Taking all of these into account I came to conclusion I need to play FACEIT. And here I have another problem: 5) Similar to p.2. Who is this genius decided to set level 3 for new players? I see no option for myself to get good and go on playing FACEIT. So here is my plan: - Train aim, movement, other mechanics - Choose one map to learn and play only it on FACEIT I need guides, links, references to train aim, sprays, movements, nades and angles. I downloaded AimBotz and play DMs but my progress is slow. And I can't train sprays. Gonna train movements in bhop/kz maps so I think this is not a big deal. So I need maps/services to train spray, nades and angles. Or maybe you think AimBotz is garbage and I should play only DM or you have complete guidance for every aspect. Or you know more efficient ways or ideas. I am open. And I am not gonna grind 10h/day I am young 30. y.o. talent so I have to work. I just have more spare time for next 2 months.
