How to train in CS: GO

To start winning and improve your level of play for raising lvl on faceit or rank in mm, even a simple player should practice sometimes. By taking at least a little time before starting the game, you will significantly increase your skill. Let's take a look at some aspects of the game, which are not so difficult to pump, but very useful.

Shooting practice

Shooting is one of the important aspects that can become your main advantage over your rivals. It doesn't matter if you play the role of a rifler (a player who is good at AK-47, M4A1 assault rifles) or a sniper, shooting training is a must.

One of the most effective shooting drills is practice on the AIM BOTZ map. This card is as versatile as possible and easily adapts to the needs of the player. You can spawn a certain number of bots, customize their movement and location, and add certain obstacles. Set yourself a certain bar in the number of bots before the game, it can be 300/500 and so on, for each this number is individual.

However, practicing aiming on a custom custom map is one thing, but shooting on one of the competitive maps is quite another. To improve shooting in "combat" conditions, it is recommended to use prefire cards. They allow you to practice shooting in certain areas of the map. After several passes of such a map, you will be able to navigate much better in the positions of enemies and will shoot in advance at those places where opponents may be.

Try to train exactly the type of weapon with which you most often play in competitive modes (matchmaking or faceit). If your role is a Rifler, and you often play with an automatic type of device, then make it your goal to learn how to play with an AK-47 or M4A1-S/M4A4.

Plus, there are maps that you can use to train your reflexes and reactions. The most popular of these is Training_aim_csgo2. It also allows you to select several modes, each of which can be customized for yourself. On the map, you can improve the ability to put headshots in the mode when a target the size of the player's head will appear in a random place on the wall. Another of the modes is fast shooting at appearing white targets.

Also, do not forget to run around a little with pistols, be it classic or deagle/p250.

AWP

There are many subtleties and nuances that must be taken into account, because playing with a sniper rifle is different from classic weapons. This device is best trained on Deathmatch maps. Since you constantly need to move, take the right positions, and also aim and shoot correctly.

Learn spreads

The higher the level of the game, the more grenades you need to know, because no one will just go to the site and start shooting, you need to know at least the basic smokey and flash drives on the cards being played. Watch themed videos and try to remember the simplest grenades. Remember, accurate and well-timed spreading is valued in CS almost as much as good shooting.

First of all, it is worth learning how to customize the map, as this will greatly facilitate the training process due to the traces of the grenade flight, endless ammunition, as well as the uselessness of restarting the map.

Making a server for training grenades. + create config

Console commands to help you set up your server perfectly for training:

• sv_cheats 1 (allows you to use the entire pool of console commands)
• bot_kick (kicks bots off the map)
• ammo_grenade_limit_total 5 (expands the grenade limit in the inventory)
• mp_warmup_end (ends warm-up)
• mp_roundtime 60 (sets round time to maximum: 60 minutes)
• mp_freezetime 0 (time without movement after respawning: 0 seconds)
• mp_roundtime_defuse 60 (bomb defuse time: 60 minutes)
• sv_showimpacts 1 (shows where the grenade/bullet hits)
• mp_buyanywhere 1 (allows you to buy anywhere on the map)
• mp_maxmoney 60,000 (max money: $ 60,000)
• mp_startmoney 60000 (starting money: $ 60,000)
• mp_buytime 9000 (time to buy: 9000 seconds)
• sv_grenade_trajectory 1 (shows the trajectory of a grenade)
• sv_grenade_trajectory time 7 (grenade trajectory display time: 7 seconds)
• mp_restartgame 1 (restarts the server with the new settings you entered into the console)

Too lazy to enter a bunch of commands every time to just see a couple of grenades, so we will make a separate config for this, then after starting the map you will only need to enter the name of the config into the console: exec. This is done in a minute, do not be afraid.

Create a notebook with the given text:

// Server config

sv_cheats 1

bot_kick

mp_roundtime 60

mp_roundtime_defuse 60

mp_maxmoney 60000

mp_startmoney 60000

mp_freezetime 0

mp_buytime 9000

mp_buy_anywhere 1

sv_infinite_ammo 1

ammo_grenade_limit_total 4

mp_warmup_end

// Practice

sv_grenade_trajectory 1

sv_grenade_trajectory_time 10

sv_showimpacts 1

sv_showimpacts_time 7

bind “v” noclip

mp_restartgame 1

Then we save the file with the extension all files and add.cfg

And after all this, we transfer it to the folder with the Programm Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Counter-Strike Global Offensive/csgo/cfg.

Pay attention to movement

Movements to the left and to the right are called strafe, as soon as you feel when the model stops during your movement, you can shoot accurately, the more your movements are verified, the less chances your opponent has. This is a separate aspect that many players do not pay attention to, or they are simply too lazy to strafe once again in order to check the opponent and they just run straight out at him.

Watch professional games and demos

The best way to increase your understanding of the game is to watch the strongest players. Try to analyze and understand why the teams act in this or that situation, remember the timings and various subtleties. On YouTube, there are many analyzes of demos of players and teams, where understanding people analyze games.

It will not be superfluous to look through several of your past games and find critical errors (which will definitely be), pay attention to how and where you die, and not to your highlights.

Depending on your role on a particular map, it will be quite useful to watch the records of the game of pro-players playing at your points. They play this game for half their lives, devote almost all their time to it and know how best, because they have tried all possible outcomes.

Analyze and find useful moments for yourself, and most importantly, try to repeat the actions you saw in a real game.

Practice

Keep in mind that it doesn't make sense to waste a lot of time training if you don't play enough games. Most of the situations in the game are repetitive and you need experience to improve your game intelligence. In addition, you need to somewhere to consolidate the acquired skills.
