2008-01-20 07:18:00
Learn the maps Knowing the maps can give you a huge advantage over the other team. Know the angles and the timing to choke points. Also try to find creative ways to flash and smoke certain parts of the map By knowing the maps, you will also know where some good places to hide are and where some the Counter-Terrorist/Terrorist might be hiding as well.Learn the money system: Knowing or suspecting when the other team has to save or eco could help your team avoid losing a round in which the other team has only pistolsBuy as a team save as a team: You don't want to have 3 guys on your team with pistols and the other 2 with M4s Coordinate so you can all buy at the same time, save at the same time or deagle save at the same timeCrush the other teams economy: Their are a few things you can do that can help you win the money battle Obviously winning rounds is the best way to do this However you can even do some damage to the other teams economy or help your own teams economy with the things...

part 1: ways to make you a better player individually and as a team
2008-01-20 07:02:00
a few tips to make you a better css player individually and as a teamfirst off Watch Demos One thing that will help you and your team to improve is to watch demos Before a match it is always helpful to watch a demo of a top team. By doing this you can see how the pros play the CT position you would be playing and how the pros approach Terrorist side. Also after the match is over, it is also helpful to watch your own demo to see where you make mistakes and where you can improveImprove Your aim with DeathMatch Get into and play in deathmatch servers often. I would recommend doing this at least once a day I would concentrate on the AK M4 AWP deagle USP and glock However, if you have some time, it is not a bad idea to work on your MP5 TMP SCOUT i usually go for about 500 kills a day especially with the awp because cals and cpl's game config starts you out with 16kScrim often This is obvious and the best way to improve as a team. Work on your teamwork communication, and execution of str...

effective clan / team communication in scrims
2008-01-18 05:50:00
i get this question a lot now days "my team can't communicate worth tits on a boar hog. we always make wrong calls on the amount of enemy's we see. and we always end up going to the wrong bomb site and we over rotate almost always resulting in us losing the round because we didn't defuse the bomb in time." First off you should show your team the "proper" way to make calls. In my opinion the best way to make calls is to be as specific as possible where possible. well use the map de_dust2 for an example, if I hear a rush on cat I'll immediately count in my head how many I hear. If I know it is more than two people I hear rushing, I will say "at least three rushing cat." If four guys come around the corner I would say "four guys." If one or more of those guys has a deagle I'll say "some have deagles." If I'm on vent and I'm able to freely talk after I'm dead (don't try to do this at most LANs), I'll try to call the direction the players are running accurately. Like, "three t...
