I would say I'm an extremely smart player. I understand the game a lot, keep track of utilities, know my call outs, hold intelligent angles, don't over-rotate, and just have a lot of game sense. Usually my timings are what allow me to win duels. I'm an extremely underwhelming player mechanically though. Very weak raw aim, not a snappy flicker with AWPs, very poor recoil control (I don't understand why muscle memory hasn't kicked in). At the end of the day if I know how to ADAD headshot pistol and I'm shooting like a Gold, I'll die like a gold. And that's what happens. I lose most duels that rely on raw reaction time, or just even ground AK vs. M4 at medium range duels.
So now at MGE (LOL still so funny to say. I did well in supreme x'D), I'm really just doing downright stupid things that challenge my motor skills. Push banana, peek an AWP, do whatever. Take fair fights rather than unfair angles in odd spots in CT sided maps like Inferno. I'm not taking advantage of things I could because I'm turning MM into an aiming duel server. I'm also just trying fun things like pop flashes for the first time since it wasn't necessary to do before.
Yeah, I've been trying to IGL in CEVO matches lately whenever I get a team that wants to work together. Played one game where 2 guys were trolling and we managed to win 3v5, probably not due to my calls, but I can believe.
Mostly just focusing on trying to get fuckers to work together on T side, doing things like flashing for each other, getting a base setup working each round, not insta-buying. Much better compared to before when I was supreme where it was usually just 2/3 guys go frag while the 2 noobs run around and distract them.
Teammates are working much better now most of the time. CT side I usually just tell people to frag and if they feel that they need to, just fall back and ask for help, no need to die if its not worth it. Better to win 16-2 with less frags for you and more rounds then to win 16-14 while frag-whoring because you just rankup slower and everyone knows mm is just the rankup grind.
