1. Getting Started
Optimize Your Game Settings

• Resolution: Use 1920x1080 (Full HD) for better visibility or 1280x960 (4:3) for larger player models.
• Display Mode: Always set to Full Screen to minimize input lag.
• Graphics Settings:
• Shadows: Low (to reduce distractions).
• Texture Detail: Low/Medium (depends on your hardware).
• NVIDIA Reflex: Enabled (for lower input latency).
• Launch Options in Steam:

-novid -tickrate 128 +fps_max 0


2. Individual Skill
Aiming and Shooting

• Mouse Sensitivity:
• DPI: 400-800
• In-game Sensitivity: 1.5-2.5
• Use m_rawinput 1 to ensure accurate input.

Crosshair Settings:

• Keep it simple and easy to track. Example:

cl_crosshairsize 3
cl_crosshairgap -2
cl_crosshairthickness 1
cl_crosshairdot 0

Practice Drills

• AIM Training:
• Use aim training maps like "aim_botz."
• Warm up daily in Deathmatch or practice mode.
• Movement:
• Master counter-strafing to stop on a dime for accurate shots.
• Practice jump-peeking and jiggle peeking to bait shots.

3. Team Strategy
Communication

• Always call out enemy positions with clarity: "One mid, low HP."
• Use simple terms like "A-long," "B-tunnel," etc., to keep it efficient.

Tactical Tips

• Attack: Use coordinated utility like flashbangs and smokes to secure sites.
• Example: Smoke key chokepoints (e.g., mid doors on Dust2).
• Defense: Play crossfire setups to trade kills efficiently.

Utility Mastery

• Learn basic grenade lineups for every map:
• Smokes for blocking vision.
• Molotovs for clearing hiding spots.

4. HUD & UI
Customize for Performance

• Adjust the HUD scale to keep key info visible but unobtrusive.
• Enable damage indicators and death notices for better situational awareness.

Quick Binds for Efficiency

• Buy Binds:

bind "F1" "buy ak47; buy m4a1"
bind "F2" "buy awp"

• Jump Bind:

bind "MWHEELDOWN" "+jump"


5. Maps
Learn the Layouts

• Focus on popular maps like Dust2, Inferno, and Mirage.
• Memorize callouts for better communication with teammates.

Control the Map

• T-side: Take map control slowly with utility and teamwork.
• CT-side: Hold angles and play around defensive setups.

Final Tips

• Warm-Up Daily: 15–30 minutes of aim training can dramatically improve your consistency.
• Watch Pro Games: Study positioning, movement, and strategies from top-tier players.
• Stay Positive: Team morale is critical—encourage rather than blame.
