WarOwl's guides are aimed at beginners, isn't there? It's clear. Even WarOwl himself has said this when he explained his channel as a way to help newcomers start with CS. That conversation happened after the Steel incident. If you're unfamiliar, it was a significant shift from Steel to WarOwl about his latest AWP video at that time. Still, that's not the main point. What matters is that you're right. For me, the videos I enjoy most from WarOwl are now his One More Round clips—essentially a short podcast covering recent updates and his thoughts on CS. Tutorials and videos can make a huge difference, especially for advice on handling smokes, flashes, and general tips. There are countless helpful videos out there, making it tough to keep track. I usually rely on tutorials to refresh my skills. If I'm doing something wrong and can't pinpoint it, I'll look up related content to understand where I went wrong.
Keep it original, avoid copying styles. Focus on your own approach. Don’t imitate pros—make your own game. I’ve seen many players stuck in predictable patterns, like trying to mimic JW or following the same routes. It’s easier to spot trends, but staying unique is key. Use different angles and tactics. Pay attention to head movement and aim carefully. Practice tracking targets and controlling spray. Spraying too much hurts your accuracy. Stick to one style and improve gradually. Once you reach Nova or MGE, adapt by joining the right teams. Stay consistent and find what works for you.
I previously played for a long time and escaped Silver. You'll naturally discover the correct way to play. If you truly wish to leave Silver, simply memorizing strategies won't help. The only way to exit Silver is through strong aim. Strategies rarely succeed in Silver since many ignore them or refuse. Join with higher-ranked players (though some may be hesitant due to their rank). This approach not only helps you escape but also teaches you. You'll likely play alongside better players, offering a valuable learning opportunity. If you'd like to play with me, add me on Steam—my profile is listed on my forum page.
I began at Silver Elite in August last year. Currently I'm DMG, though my best rank has been LE. #1 - Practice. Practice. Practice. I aimed to play Death Match daily, even without a match, and experimented with lower sensitivities and varied settings until I felt confident. I also studied basic smokes and learned a few effective ones. A well-timed window smoke on Mirage can neutralize the AWP and allow your team to split B for an easy win. #2 - Train with teammates. Understanding team strategies is essential. Discuss common tactics with friends, especially on maps like Dust 2. You should plan how to split objectives or move between areas together. Coordinating a solid team effort is challenging at the silver level with unpredictable players. #3 - Avoid copying pros blindly. GeT_RiGhT's setup won't instantly turn you into a pro. Simply adopting ScreaM's settings won't make you a headshot machine. You must enjoy playing and adapt to your own style.
For aiming and response speeds, use DM with sound disabled or listen to music. When it comes to strategies, spots, smoke, etc., observe professional games.
I suggest you dive into the competition and finish every project. It helps you get comfortable with it. Next, try the speed challenge to boost your pace.
