Counter-Strike is a game of consistently achieving and converting advantaged situations, let me show you one simple way how that is achieved on Ancient.

have problems going silent, not talking, and/or not comming enough during fights?
comm during deathmatch until it becomes muscle memory and you no longer think about it
Thx and GGs

i wanted to be PROOF that hours, networking, and the typical NA aim path is not the only path to succeed in NA, and ive proudly excelled, nothing short of an 'accident'
i may or may not play, if u express interest: DM
We need to define positions and generic responsibilities per role. Then we slowly add various combinations, tempos, and opening picks of our defaults. Master one, then move on to the next to have a strong foundation, making any changes necessary. Failure is LEARNING.
2/9
Since the December rework of Ancient, the changes have benefited the T side. In this short 1 minute video I explain the simple concept of creating a default, giving us multiple options on how to end the round, AND the importance of manipulating rotates to your advantage.

These are everything I use to run a team (+more in my solo/team coaching review, still used from my ECL run with Brazen. I guarantee SOMETHING there will help you). I am working very hard to share my resources to the scene and help it grow. I hope you will enjoy. 🤍🫶

no hard feelings towards anyone, i appreciate whoever supported me and every single teammate i had. the experience was like no other. i love you all, this will just be a visual archive of ducky i suppose while i pursue coding + tattooing 🤍
Update: ended all tryouts as i decided to create my project called STAR Academy & I will constantly scout out hard working players whose goal is to compete in Adv+. Targeting mostly inexperienced players in Open, IM,Main. My purpose is to develop talent. DM me if youre interested

s40 rectify, made adv playoffs. we figured out a system within 2 seasons and it works, our goal is to improve each day and raise the skill floor and over time results will come, and they do
dont care what u think of me or the team, we will just keep accidenting results i guess
It's been 10 years since CS:GO
I only played matchmaking from 2013-2018
First competing in collegiate, realizing my skill level was way better than all the collegiate scene, so I moved on to ESEA to my first season
Played a few season here and there for Open & Intermediate with

Using DemoDive and CSGOLens we can easily and quickly pinpoint the scenarios we want more research on (not affiliated whatsoever, but I use these and noesis nearly daily for anything and everything). highly highly recommend

This is really sad to see, lowering the skill ceiling
no need to learn how to 'utilize spawns', which is good RNG
Tracking the economy is a skill, but if they add the exact $$ amount like valorant, its going to get easier
@NartOutHere
the overglorification of aim duels and im better is a plague
It is such a crucial skill to survive professional circuits by identifying bad decisions regardless if you win the round or the fights
i see it literally all the time, and its sad to see,bc it rlly is just that simple
I just released 3 short videos explaining how I use and implement the documents I just released for team logistics on my new youtube channel, more content is on the way of course 🙂

@kyleleleCS
personally, my only interaction with him is kyle supporting and congratulating me watching the games. seemed like a hard working teammate and really nice guy to have as a friend
Now,if you did the same default every time it makes it easy to counter, so that's why we have many starts for both CT and T side (and protocols!). Sometimes you need more players towards a side of the map or maybe you need less players, there is a balance to efficiently meet
4/9
just a tip for teams in Main and below, the IGLs are terrible, and the teams dont put the time in to play different every match. Majority of teams will run the same defaults, same strats, and even same PISTOL strats. Watch some demos, learn how you can exploit these things
okay fine. yeah i made it to ESL no aim training all brain. but i will tell you i will lose my spot and be a coach if i dont start aim training, need more impact. they are just on a whole another level. sorry to my fans.
This is "beyond a reasonable doubt", statistically the odds of a "false positive" to happen are near zero. It was near-certain pre-publishment and the staff behind ESL have now guaranteed, with 0% doubt, cheating did occur at some point. Surely in a case of a "false positive" or

Low vs High ping. The game processes worst fight possible so it downgrades u to High ping fight
Low vs Low ping feels great and responsive. Low vs High and the game ups you to as if you were high ping, resulting in inconsistent experiences

@GaiminGladiator
2-1. 16-7 Nuke, 4-16 Ancient, 16-13 Mirage. we are currently 4-2 in ECL, we are playoff contention? if Godsent gives us FFW due to roster issues i think we guarantee playoffs
if you have any questions on how to practice, structure,setup defaults/goals,rules, responsibilities,team documents, anything.feel free to ask i am an open book for spreading my knowledge to anyone and everyone. im not saying im perfect,but its gotten me pretty far pretty fast 👍
Need to do ur research, and be weary about 'too good to be true'. You should *still* go to collegiate esports as the degree FIRST, and csgo SECOND. thats why i recommend MTU, maybe St louis, and now possibly Fisher for CSGO schools. Path from amateur to T2, sure, not path to pro.

@FACEIT
match lately I am having 2 people without microphones, people going AFK or leaving the game
In CS:GO it was never this bad
Is it because my elo is lower or did something change?
I heavily urge
@FACEIT
to make a queue where a microphone is a requirement
Here are 4 different pro examples where they include these variations in their games.
I didnt get to talk about CTs playing house and leaving donut open, default theory for cheetah/cave control, conditioning 2-3 and 3-2 defaults to have strong 1-4 and 4-1 pops! next time...
9/9
For example, lets choose the best mid spawn and utilize it for the opening pick. I usually describe these as puzzle pieces or modules, where you can piece parts of the default together. ie this opening pick, then flashcrossing in phase 2, into a setpiece A split for example

i like the fact that collegiate CS is growing, but with me pretty much almost finished with my degree cant help but feel i missed it by two or so years. the most viable way of me leaving this trash state while also pursuing out of state for better opportunities
Oh by the way, I'm back to competing full time:
For atleast another year i'll go hit ECL again and see from there
For now I joined the

also won 1st for the aimlabs gridshot tournament at dreamhack atlanta,
CS players are better so had to beat the previous high score set by a val player 🙄

16-6 counter nature
x13 had ff
3-16 party astronauts
We have a simple flash in combo with a molotov behind donut, creating timings for the T side to cross into deep map control (or fighting for donut! or is it all a fake?)
Most importantly: We can see the CT reaction to this to cover the gap that was created in the defense
6/9
2022 incredibly successful year and love all the friends in CS that helped me become who i am today,ty
2023, ducky will be at his best
-continue my gym routine,also glad i quit soda
-new apartment for college
-tattoos, piercings, think the black hair is here to stay who knows

one of the most common issues I see watching demos from NA is that, simply put, there is a huge lack of EU demos being watched. T15+ Europe is nading door on overpass, and throwing proper vent drop nades on nuke
there are universal rules that just are not being done
