It's not overly difficult to adapt to the culture of CS:GO, but it does require consistent effort and practice.

I suggest checking out TheWarOwl's videos; his tutorials are helpful. Take a look at this one.
No concept... It looked so weak unless you hit someone moving directly away from you.
It's tough to switch from CS:SI to Source, especially since I've never played Source before. The feel of CS:1.6 is quite different from CS:1.4 or earlier versions, and even CS:1.6 seemed distinct from 1.5, 1.4, 1.3, 1.1, and the CS:WARP era. I moved from CS:1.6 to Go, which didn't pose much issue for me, but I'm not very competitive anymore—I stopped focusing on combat in CS and started enjoying mods since around 2005.
I first played CS 1.5-1.6 so extensively that my memory blurred the game's fundamentals. It took me around a week to adapt to its unique style, which is quite different from most shooters. After getting the hang of it and using all the FPS skills I had, I faced no problems. Recently, I managed to earn a rank—though not exceptionally high—but team-based solo games remain challenging. Curse you Halo 3!!!
I've been playing CS with folks who came after me started. Plus, I've met people from the same clan as I did, even with an admin on my servers. Lol!
Hey there! I'm just getting started with CS, but I've been playing since the early days—about 15 years ago. I’ve got some advice to share. CS:GO tends to be more unpredictable compared to other games. First, focus on honing your aim with specific weapons. - Practice your AWP, AK-47, M4 and pistols in training maps or deathmatch servers. Communication is key too; keep an eye on the chat and commands, and listen to what your teammates say. Always scan the map—especially when playing solo, it helps you track where others are. Learn the layouts and tactics of each map. If you need more help with a particular aspect, just let me know!
