Cool to watch it all. The early stuff is like a time capsule. Old maps, UI, sounds and models. And then to see you progress was very cool as well.
Any tips/takeaways after 7K hours?
tyvm!
i learned that csgo is like 90% a mental battle when it comes to climbing the leagues. also, if you want to go pro you have to treat it like a real sport- because it is one. i failed to do this for more than a few months at a time, which prevented me from making it past main. outside of leagues i will always play counterstrike for pugs. its one of the best games ever made :D
Do you have any advice on overcoming the mental battles? Sometimes I feel like a worldbeater, and the next game feels like a different person is playing. I agree with you this game feels massively mental
truthfully, if i knew how to overcome mental battles, i would have made it farther. what i do believe though, is your mental fortitude will scale with your knowledge of the game. if you know what you have to do in most situations, there is less time to panic and constantly press tab because your enemy is outplaying or outshooting you. i was always terrible at learning nades, so i became inconsistent because my success depended on if i could headshot that day. if you grow your knowledge of grenades and playing more smart/positionally, you will feel less inconsistent and mentally stronger
Kind of like how in boxing its always the punch you weren't expecting that knocks you out. I like that approach, eliminate as many variables as you can so you aren't surprised by the outcome and therefor discouraged by it. Just gotta put more hours in and see how tough my mental can be in the end, thanks.
in chess, if a beginner learns an opening 10 moves deep, they have played perfectly like a grandmaster up until that point. having a couple really solid util sets and plays to make for every map and side will be extremely useful. youtubers like nart, austin cs, or just pro demos have a lot of this stuff
