Well what league is it?

And you won't be able to get "good" by then by just having people tell you what to do, You need to learn from experience.

Have you and your friends clan find a pick up game and then you can scrim with them, but also learn what to do on each map and how to do it etc...

Only way to get more experience is just to play more scrims.

I hate to say it but try getting esportsea.com for like a month and see how you like the scrimming atmosphere. ESEA servers blow and people bait a lot, but you might need it

watch demos of top euro teams. Especially old NoA, 2005 SK, NiP, mTw.dk, coL, and 3D learn how they play the spots you play and watch their setups rotations retakes nades flashes and bettr yourself. But you'll only become better through experience. Meaning you have to die a lot and learn from your mistakes.

its cal-o, there are no angles/nades or spots that are needed to play good, just out aim them and you'll win 90% of the time.

pretty much don't be stupid and let them make mistakes, and you wont lose.

Don't watch any demos. Learn the game yourself and develop your own style of play. Just Deathmatch a lot and scrim a lot. So basically.. play a lot. That's really the only way to get better.

yes but he is correct #15. I've made it to playoffs in Cal-O just by outaiming opponents and playing off picks every single round.

We'll if its cal-o, then I see what #13 is saying, Just have to out aim your opponents.

But when you get into the higher level leagues, strats is what wins you the game, since most people in the higher level of cs having pretty good aim, strats will carry them far, as long as they execute those strats...

But like mostly everyone else said if you just watch matches, maybe you AND your team could pick up a few tips or strats that could be used for the next season, But I will suggest watching some of the vids here.

Here's some matches from the CEVO season 6

Honestly, just watch demos, scrim and practice what you learn in the demos and deathmatch.

#19...

How about posting something he can understand.. But I will try to clarify on what #19 "tried" to say...

* He means to play on the CAL maps and learn the spam spots... What area's to shoot through, and when to do it.

* Play a lot of pick up games to get used to different strats and postitions either defensive or offensive

* Ask your future team to let you play with them or scrim, you will learn a lot.

* Just watch demos of other matches, you can pick up on the small things which can be used during match play.

* Become familiar with sounds, Your ears will be your biggest tool in a CS match, learning to walk or being able to hear and know exactly where the enemy is is a key factor to winning matches, so make sure you learn it..

95% of cs players move too much, just crouch in a corner and click on faces.
