Which skills are the most important according to pro players If you’re going to learn you might as well learn from the best, right? Who do you think will be the best teacher in the world? Finish the phrase: “No-one but…”. You probably know already who we are talking about but anyway, but do you want to play a guessing game? We give you quotes about this player, and you yell out the response. Aaron ‘AZR’ Ward: It’s obvious that he’s incredibly talented. He also plays aggressively. He’s just got big balls! He’s capable of winning any duel.” Duncan “Thorin” Shields: “He is worthy of greater respect than anyone in the history of CS:GO, probably. He is the best CS:GO player in the world but miraculously he isn’t losing motivation still even though his team is not getting to the top. What spirit!” Olof “olofmeister” Kajbjer Gustafsson: “He is fantastical at shooting from any weapon. And you get the impression he plays every day without breaks. I think that kind of philosophy works for all top players.” Epitácio “TACO” de Melo: “I think he works really hard. From what I know and heard, he works a lot. He is very skilled in terms of gaming and trains all the time.   Håvard “rain” Nygaard: “I think he was the first top-team player that had 10 000 hours game time long before anyone else did.” S1mple doesn’t need to be introduced. This is a guy with a dark past, which included switching a lot of teams (LAN DODGERS, A-Gaming, Courage Gaming, HellRaisers, Flipside3 Tactics, Evolution, Team Liquid, and even Worst Players) a ban from ESL for 2 (3, we think) years for cheating, and humiliating tweets aimed at other players. Also, this is someone who found a way to leave the dark past behind and to become decent – both walking the walk and talking the talk. How? Navi recently created a few waves, stating they would hire a psychologist to improve team communication. Looks like it helped. The first player to achieve the 1000+ difference between kills and deaths, owner of 4 MVP awards in one year (at StarSeries S4 without even winning), then getting the 5th MVP award at ESL One Cologne, winner of the “Moment of the Year” nomination, according to ESPN Esports Awards, “Player of the Year” at Stockholm International Esports Awards, “Pro esports player of the Year on PC” at Esports Awards 2018, and of all of these events:
  1. ESL One New York 2016
  2. DreamHack Winter 2017
  3. StarLadder & i-League StarSeries Season
  4. Dreamhack Masters Marseille 2018
  5. StarSeries & i-League CS: GO Season 5
  6. CS: GO Asia Championships 2018
  7. ESL One Cologne 2018
  8. BLAST Pro Series Copenhagen 2018
  9. StarSeries & i-League CS: GO Season 7.
The list of S1mple’s achievements, of course, would take up the whole article so we won’t quote it word for word. And you most likely know it all already. What you want is how to get as good as him. In the end, he was mere mortal someday too. All professionals got to where they are now by following certain rules. Try following them too! Maybe it won’t teleport you to Mount Olympus of pro players at a press of a button but you will start following the same path as them. Isn’t that cool? We think it’s cool. So, the question you keep hearing: how to get good at CS:GO (life, sport, career, money, etc). We’ll give you principles that will get you results across all these niches. Just remember – this is not an exhaustive list. #1 Read There are books on CS:GO, believe it or not. If you’re just starting off and Googling texts on sites written by unverified people you may not get top quality/reliable content. Look for good authors and good manuals. There are things you may not know yet. We know people who after all these years still don’t know Glock has a Burst Mode. #2 Watch videos It sounds banal but you won’t get there without watching stuff, live and recorded. You should learn from books but there is stuff in videos that you won’t find in books. Don’t forget, however,  that they should be from a reliable, quality source. And don’t watch everything ever. Choose concentrated stuff that focuses on the most important moments and saves time. We definitely recommend TheWarOwl. #3 Train a lot. You know about the 10 000 war owls threshold? It’s quite s1mple. Ok, no more CS:GO references. You know about the 10 000 hours threshold? It’s quite simple. In order to become a professional (piano player, games, carpentry, physics, whatever), you need to get 10 000 hours of practice. Don’t listen to people who’ll tell you that you can become a champion only through practice or only through theory. That will never happen. The most valuable advice we can give you is: hard work is 99 times more important than talent. Again: Håvard “rain” Nygaard: “I think he was the first top-team player that had 10 000 hours game time long before anyone else did.” #4 Learn English Look how good he is. It may not be fair but the best content today comes from the US through movies, books, podcasts, and so on from the US. Plus, statistically, those who speak the language has a much greater chance of getting a good job. We’ll give it to you straight: those American manuals are actually awesome. And we don’t think anyone has translated them so they are kind of exclusive. They are the source of Force your friends don’t know about (maybe even s1mple doesn’t know about these yet). #5 Consider getting a psychologist Learn from S1mple in this interview: “After the Major, we discussed what we’re going to do next and we told ourselves that we can still play better because we saw our result at the Major. We didn’t practice a lot before the Major, but we saw that we’re capable of going to the finals. We want to try to stick together more and practice more. Now we’re trying to get a new system with B1ad3 and we’ll try to get new people into our team, a dietologist, and a psychologist as well. We just want to see what’s going to happen when we are at 100% preparation and work that we’re going to put in in the next month.” The next advice logically follows from the previous one. #5 Be humble Also dubious advice, you might say. Winners write the history. But to be honest, humility does make people look good. Teamwork is what enables winning large-scale. And your partners don’t deserve your bad attitude.   Here’s our advice: next time someone really annoys you, hold that thought, remember the moment and after hours go to the fitness center. Take it all out on the punchbag. We’ve unpressed quite a few UFC coaches that way in our time. It sounds slightly unconventional. But that is the recipe for glorious victories: go to the psychologist with your problems, to the gym with a bad mood, to the library when you can’t find a way out, and only bring the best of you to your partner. Ciao!
