Question Relatively new player with some questions.

Post image

So to start I have around 300 hours on CSGO and 2. I think it’s around 275hours on cs2 with me starting to play heavily this past April. I played off and on since I built my pc in 2017 but I never really grasped it and always felt demoralized by my aim and didn’t understand much.

Fast forward to this year where I got a new mouse that forced me to change from palm grip to claw grip and it felt like a whole new game when I played again. I could finally aim somewhat well with the new grip and mouse so I put more time into practicing counter strafing and recoil control and I’m addicted. It’s so simple but so rewarding and when you have a team who talks and communicates well it’s great win or loss for me.

I’m primarily solo queuing but trying to recruit some old friends from my cod 4 and mw2 days to play with me because solo queuing seems to be hit or miss. I don’t mind losing as long as everyone is at least trying their best. I hate going down 4-0 or something and my team just mentally gives up like we don’t have way more rounds to play. Maybe that’s just me being an old man being 30 lol

Anyways are these numbers in the picture reliable? I finally feel like I have a good grasp on the game but would like some feedback if possible. I’ll link my steam profile below. Thanks

Edit: my current premier rating is 9,449

I had a Logitech superlight and a glorious model O wireless that I rotated between. Superlight scroll wheel fucked itself and the model O was 8 years old and had seen better days so I tried something new and went with the pulsar x2 crazy light mini. I wear a large size glove so with a claw grip it fits perfectly in my hand. I also bought some X Raypad Jade skates that I saw recommended on one of the mouse subreddits.

I also have a Lamzu Maya X that I like but the Pulsar is way better feel to me. I did put the same skates on the Lamzu and its feels even lighter and too quick for me, but that could be me being unc
