Shox has been making great strats videos on youtube, but they're in french. Glad NV is killing it.

Also, I'm still very much a noob, but I was wondering if other people did what I do. I'm slowly ranking up, now GNmaster, and what i do everytime is tell myself "i need to get to gn2 before 40 wins", "i need to get to gn3 before 60 wins", etc. I wonder how many wins it will take me before i make it to a decent rank, soloqueueing.

It's best to just ignore ranks and focus on improving. It most likely ruins your enjoyment because if you're not winning your going to be worried about either deranking, or a loss making you have to win X amount of games more and that might put you over that goal.

Also, solo queue is shit so good luck. Even at eagle people don't even know what a smoke grenade is, I'm guessing at Nova people don't even know how to use WASD.

I also made goals for myself, I remember I wanted to get to MG by 50 and so on. Eventually, I got to DMG at 76 wins, but I've stopped now since I'm not really into comp. However, if you're soloq it really comes down to luck. There's only so much you can do, so it's just best to focus on improving. Honestly, I didn't even really notice the change in skill from Novas and MGs. Only thing I really noticed was better aim and that's about it. Players don't know smokes, have bad positioning, don't play the clock, and etc. Most of the time players are just like lets all just tec9 rush B!

So yeah, I'd just recommend focusing on your game and improving, then the rank will come naturally.

Also, there's a lack of rainbow avatars in this thread :^) Gaf is so nice and colorful but this thread is boring.

Next few days should be interesting for me, when it comes to CS. I started playing around two months ago, living in DC. I'm moving back to Paris tomorrow. I wonder if the legend that the talent pool is higher in Europe at all ranks holds true. I fully expect communication to be a bitch, and to wish I only had American teammates...

I don't believe it. Yes, at the pro levels it's quite obvious EU>NA, however I believe this has more to do with the way EU treats esports in general. In NA, esports has a stigma and it's not seen as something of value, plus all the drama doesn't help.

However when it comes down to the average player base EU=NA.

Anyone got any recommendations for maps or gametypes to practice aiming and/or spraying, getting kinda tired of deathmatch.

Just do what I always recommend. Sorry for bad formatting on mobile
1. Download aim_redline
2. Load up bot deathmatch (Google if no idea how)
3. Practice while jamming to sweet jams
4. Become good

I'm in sick form at the moment, hitting 30+ kills every single game in the last 10 maps.
It's terrifying, I know It can all be taken from me by some random russian "teammate" yelling "HOMAGAD, plis uninstall" and tilting me for a week.
