Save up and buy a Steelseries mouse pad with Steelseries mice. The difference between this and regular mice/mouse pads is like playing soccer with cleats against people in bowler shoes.

steelseries makes good stuff, but thats not always true either. you can play well on almost any setup as long as you're consistent with it. i know ppl that OWN because they get familiar with one setup/setting. this makes transition to LAN ez too, the only difference will be the monitor and minor things. (eg $20 microsoft mouse + a $20 qck + ur sens + ur res)

I still prefer my G500, not that there is really that much of a difference besides the dpi and the scroll wheel lock, and well the small on board memory for holding your settings for the mouse so you do not have to reprogram it for another computer. Ok so there is a few extra features, but on most part same mouse, just lil bit enhanced.

HAHHA! Manno, I love your rants, and I never get mad at it, or frustrated, cause MOST of the shit you say is true and good, apart from the few times I disagree with you. But even then it's all with good intentions.

When taking a site as T be sure to clear the site of hiders , I always see people run in and just run by w.o checking then 1/2 the team getting killed by some one that was in the site the whole time .
Know your strengths and weakness and play to them , if you know you have a hard time making a shot from a specific spot avoid playing it , if you cant make entry shots very well don't lead if you can then get picks .
Learn map angles it may seem you have superior angle on a corner but in reality they can see you before you can see them .
A lot of the game especially clutch and late round play doesn't solely evolve around reaction speed but knowing whats happening around the entire map , keeping map awareness and mental notes of who was last spotted where how many people are left up time left etc .. being able to do that will give you an huge advantage .
When in doubt buy 5-7 =)

If you are leading a rush on a full buy round, do it with your deagle out. The running accuracy of a deagle ensures that you can kill any CT counter rusher while continuing to run rather than relying on running spray with an ak (not very accurate) or stopping to spray, possibly blocking your teammates. If you have an smg though, its up to preference as they have great running accuracy too.

Best place to do this is the B rush, season. The deagle will give you some extra speed, and usually you can beat the CT pre-flash, allowing you to get into upper and kill the guy there.



Also, if time allows, wait to hear the call before you buy. Depending on what type of call it is and your spawn, perhaps just buying an mp5, vesthelm, and smoke grenade is best. Save some of that money for a rifle and full nades on a call that can utilize that. And of course, buying a scout/AWP on a quick rush usually isn't the greatest.

If you want to do the best possible in most situations, don't buy any guns besides ak, m4, deagle, mp5, awp. In special cases, the shotgun, p90, and scout also are excellent weapons. And if you want a cheap rifle, famas and galil can be great. But the rest of them fill the same role as ones I already mentioned, but do it worse.

I always buy my basics 1st, then buy my gun after the call is made, some of you may notice I stop for 2 secs in my calls, that's me buying. xD.

I will slowly tell people more strats I have come up with, but you gotta listen up. I think some are working great right now.

VERY important! DO NOT TALKING DURING THE FREEZE TIME!

Don't feel obligated to call complex or fancy strats if they aren't flowing. Rather than resorting to slow plays too much, consider simple splits. It seems like people build teamwork when running splits, and once you have teamwork down you can try some other things when the other team catches on to the splits.

Dont abuse the awp.....

Im just curious here, but are people actually reading these and taking any advice in this thread?

I do every night.

If a caller fails a few rounds, do not step over him, ask him between rounds or when you are dead, if you can start the next round.
