SECTION SUMMARIES

0:54 - AIMLESS CROSSHAIR PLACEMENT
Whether aiming at the floor or the sky you won’t be able to react properly if your crosshairs are naturally out of position. Always aim at head or shoulder levels - so when you see an incoming enemy, you minimize reaction time.

Quick Pro Tip:
Pay attention to changes in elevations - ramps, stairs, or boxes - as they will require you to aim higher or lower.

2:33 - WHY RUNNING AND GUNNING WON'T WORK
The best way to sh00t with high accuracy is standing still. We know, it's counter intuitive, but running or walking will deviate your firing angles. For proof, turn on "firing and movement" in the crosshairs settings, and watch how erratic your shots become. Remember: Stop, aim, and sh00t.

3:48 - NOT USING YOUR UTILITIES
Utilities don't always need to be used to attack. When forcing a site, use a spell to hold an enemy position or better yet, force them to move. As mentioned above - when they move - their aming will be off, improving your chances of of a takedown.

5:15 - NEVER "WALK" ACROSS THE MAP FOR A B0MB DEFUSE
Slow walking only exposes you to a variety of ambushes. Move efficiently and take risks as you explore the map. Every second wasted only gives the advantage to the other team.

7:19 - LEARN FROM EACH ROUND
Ever heard "Stop. Rinse. Repeat."? Yeah, don't do that. Unless your opponent's the one who keeps making the epic fail. All players have tendencies, and when playing fast, noobs will often repeat their previous actions. If you find yourself doing so, stop, find a new route - change your movement speed - or use utilities to become more unpredictable. Change it up so now YOU are forcing your opponents to have to think on their feet.
