I want the community thoughts on this. Is it just me, but has Faceit gotten worse? I have been playing CS since the first mod of Half Life. Yes, even 1.6. I am in placement matches, and two of the players are mics spamming, one blocks, team damage, and leaves in the middle of the match. One player is just clue less, and a match that should have been an easy victory was a grinding muddy mess. TBH, Premier MM used to be bad, but lately, most of my teammates have gotten much more skilled, and pleasant to play with. I don't experience any hackers or cheats. It has been an overall much better experience. Why do I even bother playing faceit, when they do nothing about the shit behaviors of their player base? Is it because they don't have enough subscriptions, so they avoid banning players for toxic behavior? Perhaps you don't see to much of this at the higher levels, since many might have their reputations tarnished for their streams, or possible future FPL, and'/or pro prospects. But man, I am seriously considering just deleting faceit. It is just pure tragedy. Thoughts or personal experience? Community, why can't we start up our own community based scrim servers to play against other players, not for the elo, but to play against legit players, who actually work on their game, and wants to play with decent players, without the crap you deal with on faceit and other pugs? why?

I’m currently around 12,000 in the Premier League, and I constantly notice players taking up positions with completely exposed lines of sight and no retreat plan whatsoever. For example, they stand right in the center of Point A on the “Mirage” map or hold the “banana” on the “Inferno” map without any cover to fall back on if they come under attack. As soon as you get blinded by a flashbang or two players peek into your cover, you’re simply done for. What other minor positioning mistakes do you notice among mid-elo players that keep happening over and over again?

Hello there.

I um, realised that my counter strafing isn't consistent whenever I use a scout or deagle. There are alot of times when I could've win the duel (except if I whiff) but I hit the torso instead of head.

Is there any drills or I should just be more mindful?

Hi. been grinding faceit recently, and wanted to improve my mechanics after a downhill. I've started playing around 30-60min of pistoldm and ffa, but still feel like my aim/mechanics are not improving or barely onpar. The little improvement i have seen is my usp gameplay, but other than that none. Any recommendations? I do well and have good shots and reactions on dm but ingame it all falls apart. Just mental?

What are your resources for learning this fuck ass map and what util do I need to learn??

I just spent a ton of time learning Dust 2, now onto Mirage and I always lose. T side there are too many angles to clear on each site. CT side is better but I still have no idea where to play.

It took me like 60 wins on dust before feeling confident and idk if I can do that for every map in the pool.

I haven't even tried to play premier, just getting 100% stomped in unranked/silver comp.

I have been playing CS for many years on many different sensitivities and I've found myself in a crisis. A few weeks ago my sens got all kinds of fucked up and I've been trying to recover it and nothing feels right.

I mainly have been running 1800dpi with .35 sens. The dpi is really high but i found it best for other games on my pc so I don't really want to lower it. With .35 I find it easier to hit shots with pistols and rifles but my tracking is slower and I feel like I'm constantly having to pick up my mouse to clear angles at any kind of speed. My mouse just feels heavy too.

But even if I bump it up to .36 it feels too fast. I can flick faster but I'm overall inaccurate. It does feel better on my hand though.

I am just so frustrated and can't think straight about it. Some advice would be really helpful. I only switched a few days ago, is this just something I am going to have to get more used too?

1. If 3 CT's are in a hall, all facing the same way, some T is about to
   score 3 kills.

2. The flash that blinded you was probably thrown by your own
   team mate.

3. rush B == 'Run in totally random directions like a group
   of ants avoiding a kid with a magnifying glass. Die. Lose the round.'

4. 'COVER ME!' == 'Stand there looking stupid, watch me die, then run the
   opposite direction into my killer's teamie. Die. Lose the round'.

5. 'COVER THE BOMB!' == 'Run away from the bomb at top speed, looking for
   the remaining CT who will show up at the bombsite 15 seconds later,
   and ninja defuse the damn thing. Lose the round.

6. The best insult a 14-year-old can come up with is STILL homophobic slurs
   The rest of us have to contend with either 'Cheater', 'Camper' or
   'cheating wall-hacker aimbot AWP camper p*ssy' if we're running 3-17.

7. For every second you stand still, your chance of dying goes up 3.33%.

8. God loves the AK-47; that's why he made it so incredibly awesome. That
   also means God's a terrorist. This would explain tornadoes, hurricanes,
   floods, and earthquaks. Thus, CS helps solve one of the greatest
   theological questions of all time, 'Why do CT's suck and lose so much?'

9. AWP == 'Another Weapon (for) P*ssies'. OF course, this doesn't apply if
   you're the one holding the AWP. If you're the one holding the esteemed AWP,
   then you're a brave sniper, valiantly holding your ground, protecting your
   team at all cost. It's those pussies on the OTHER team who AWP camp and
   screw up the game's balance!

10. The truest measure of a good CS player is someone who, while running 3-17,
    still compliments the newbie who picked him off with a lucky headshot from
    a Glock.

Name: Zorrpan

At the end of last season i was around 14,5k, now im 19,8k which is the highest ive been, I definitely feel that the people around this rank are playing better than 10-15k, where i just played really aggressive and it worked out most of the time. However ive been playing a bit worse recently, i dont really know what i am doing which makes be play worse, but i assume its positioning

I have a bit more than 2k hours, reached 20k premier, around level 6 on Faceit, mostly solo queue. Lately I feel like I’ve stagnated. It feels like my mind is more focused on fixing my mistakes/improving than enjoying the game. If I lose a duel in a comp, my mind hard focuses on my mistake (bad counter-strafe, flash etc.). I also get nervous when playing comp. Like I can’t trust my intuition and just enjoy the game. I’ve also changed my settings a lot to try to find my sweet spot. I play more dm, bots, spray, maps more than the game to try to fix that. I also follow the esport scene, I would say that I even watch more podcasts about it than the actual games. I love CS but I don’t know if I actually enjoyed the game or chased the high of improving which I don’t enjoy anymore. I’m just confused and at a crossroads, trying to find some direction.

Im 10k after a big break from cs, my aim is ok, movement is decent and my utility is good on most maps. But when i solo queue or even when i have a duo i mostly get matched with non english speakers that dont coordonate dont give any info and for some reason only buy scout or deagle and peek mid every time just to die to an awp(i dont know if its just my luck but happens way to offten). Usualy this games either end on 11-13 and its very frustrating becouse i try to have fun but can not beacouse of teammates that dont even try. Is there something that i can improve to make these matches easier? Like better aim or positioning

I just payed $200 to buy a Falchion Knife | Fade (MW) and suddenly they refunded for some weird reason, they said it will take up to 14 days to recieve the money again, also I haven’t gotten any reciept e-mail or anything, did I get scammed?
