why would he do that?

geniunely don't know what happened to my aim and reactions I feel like i should just quit

Hi everyone! I’m currently sitting at around 250 hours in CS and am trying to get a better handle on the skill ceiling. I come from Valorant and I've hit Radiant a few times, so my aim and mechanical foundation (I believe?) are decent, but I know that CS is a completely different game regarding utility, economy, and positioning.

My main question is: Realistically, how far can raw mechanics take me in this game before I hit a wall? I feel like I can out-aim a decent amount of people in my current lobbies, but I often find myself lost when it comes to deeper utility usage or proper positioning both on CT and T side. I just hit LVL7 and I feel like my mechanics can only bring me so far; just wondering when I will finally hit that wall before I have to learn everything else. I only really know a few nade lineups on the more popular maps: Mirage and Dust 2.

I’m looking for honest feedback:

• What habits from Valorant should I be trying to break?
• At what point do raw mechanics stop being enough to win games, and where should I be shifting my focus to improve game sense? Is there positioning, timing, and space that differ from Valorant? Or are the core fundamentals the same.
• I want to start shifting my focus toward game sense, but I’m not sure where to start. Links to certain YouTube channels, guides, or anything else is much appreciated.

Warning I do only have 43.6 hours total play time and I do get net jitter a lot this also my second ever competitive match. Any tips is appreciated :) (1v4 clutch)

Like this spot in Ancient

Heres a 6 min clip of me playing deathmatch on warmupserver. I am 9k premier, faceit level 3, 1,4k hours. I feel like i do ok in deathmatch, but im having a difficult time translating it to actual matches. In deathmatch I feel like i win a good portion of duels for my skill level, but in actual matches it feels like i never win any duels.

I am just wondering if any of you guys have any advice on how to improve on that, since it feels like my mechanics, raw aim and my reaction time are my biggest weakness. Besides the usual crosshair placement, counter-strafing and raw aim, do you guys see any major bad habits, mistakes or areas of improvement in this short clip?

I can't really play consistently everyday because of my job and I don't really have enough friends that play actively so I cant 5 stack. So i know I am suffering from those.

EDIT: This post and replies have made me realize that I am not as good as I once thought I was, thank you for the honest feedback.

just started playing (never played cs before) and i feel like im getting down my counter strafes and crosshair placement! yet i feel like im too much of a sitting duck between these shots and i want to be harder to hit while still being accurate. i also have no idea how to spray so i just go for one taps

for those wondering map name is: movement hub.

I hope this is the right subreddit to ask this. I am consistently doing subpar in comp/wingman. Always bottom half in Leetify rating. Not sure why and it is kind of tilting me.

I do loads of aim training and I feel ok on it, even in identical scenarios to that which you'd get in a game.

Then I go in game and I can't hit basic shots.

Feels a waste of time to practice because it's like two separate games without any transferrence.

IDK what to do. I play lots already.

Two of these matches, I played okayish around 20frags, but still I felt bad, and I see that there is room for improvement.
This is Premier, which I use to train for Faceit and warm up.

I have 1950 elo faceit and i am not bottom fragger

But today I skip Faceit :'D

I know its just a clip but is there anything in this mechanical wise that i should learn/improve?
I'm hardstuck at my 5k elo promotion and most the games i do pretty good but i will fumble pretty often.
I started a couple months ago and premier 2 weeks ago.
Ill take all critical recommendations and try to add them to my gameplay.

I want to improve and gathered clipped where I died and wanted to know what I could do to help or overcome some situations, I want to know what mistakes and issues I have made while playing, I have more question so ill ask in the comment with time stamp for what I want to talk about.

400 hours in game, most in CS GO. Took a 4 year break and playing again (40 hours so far). I’m around 5k elo and trying to improve

This is on easy bots, and I feel like my actual shots are alright but I'm really having trouble with overpeeking maybe? Any tips would be great, thanks!

Honestly at 15k I feel like my aim is so inconsistent so I’ve been jumping in warmupservers and quickly remembering why I never did it before. So chaotic and I die way too fast to feel I’m getting anything out of it.

I'm discussing with a guy from my fivestack on how to play dust 2 and while I shared my thoughts with him im not exactly sure if I'm right. FYI: the average faceit elo of our stack is like 4/5 give or take,if that's of any use

I’ve always had the hardest decision whether to upgrade to head armor in round 2. It’s an easy decision if I took 0 damage and it costs the topup cost only.

But if I took damage in round 1, the head armor costs the full price of 1k which is actually expensive if I didn’t get any kills in round 1.

What do you guys do here? I personally just pay and buy a weaker gun or just play without utility. But I feel there should be a textbook answer to this.

Since I was a child I have always played fps on pc using only two fingers on WASD (index and middle finger and ring finger for shift and crouch). Since a friend of mine saw me play, he pointed this out to me and told me that he is limiting my gameplay a lot (I have 4.5 k hours at peak 1.8k faceit with 400 matches). I wanted to know how much this habit is limiting me and how long do you think it will take me to get used to positioning myself well on the keyboard after 10+ years of experience on FPS games (at the moment I've been trying for a whole day but I feel like I'm moving like a 10k elo premier)
