Of all the T1/T2 pros you've played with, who are your favourites to have as teammates? Who are your least favourites?

You can answer the same questions but for opponents if you want

favorite is probably zander. Some pros kinda act and look down on us random ranked guys because we obv aren't as good as guys who play as a career, but zander doesnt have an ego and is always pretty nice. He's insane too so thats nice too

worst is grim this guy genuinely trolls 7 games in a row to hit a wall clip

By worst opponent do you mean hardest to play against? Everyone is good and has good games but the ones that stand out and make me think 'this guy is different' are

Oxy - Peeking this guy is impossible you have to spray him through a smoke to kill him
Narrate - like oxy but even smarter he will also basically always win an 1v2 against you if your teammates fuck up
Tuyz - yall won't believe it but cuz he's not a huge star like oxy but this guy is so slippery. Played against him on breeze a couple times where he was viper and hes actually a fucking magician backsite B no matter what we threw at him we couldnt kill him. His movement is weird too
Eggster - hes the best yoru and its not even close

Plenty of other guys are insane too but thats just my experience, you can tell when you play with or against top pros that they're just operating on a different level from the rest of the lobby

and if you mean worst as in most unpleasant to play against:
Canezerra: He locks iso neon yoru jett every game and runs it down on you hes in your spawn pushing ct 20 secs in the round. What makes it worse is that he's insane

aim, playtime, and mental are probably the biggest things

people can just autopilot decisions that immortals would have to consciously think about because you've been in similar situations hundreds of times

After that its just about shooting and not tilting

Ranked theres not much difference because everybody is pretty good and will have good/bad games. Pro play is completely different, ive even played in shitter tournies that dont even show up on vlr and its another world completely. Im sure that even though I can keep up in ranked I wouldn't be close to my ranked performance in t1/t2/t3.

Purely ranked speaking its probably game to game consistency. These top guys like oxy zekken curry and whoever are going on crazy winstreaks dropping 25+ every game even in losses

mental wise you just gotta understand some games you're gonna do everything right and still get smoked 13-3. Just accept your gonna lose and get shit on even if you do everything right sometimes and just go next. If you're truly tilted get off for the day, even take a 1-2 day break if you need.

Aim wise I don't really get in huge slumps anymore like i did when i was newer. I just play a couple tdms then queue again. Honestly if you're above immortal ish aim slumps are more about confidence then actual aim. Play and peek to win, you can't play scared because you don't trust your aim and expect to do well

who is a pro people have the wrong perception on? who is the streamer (not currently in challengers or pro play) who you think is genuinely the best at the game? what pro do you look up to, and why?

#25

Noxy100

Frags

+

–

hard to pick one guy but curry if you count him as a streamer is probably the best. Otherwise Poppin Eggster and Roza are the next best imo

Idk if theres a guy specifically who people have the wrong perception on, but when you see people complain about stream sniping that shits a real thing they're not just malding for no reason

#26

I'd count curry as a streamer personally so that makes sense. and yeah stream sniping has been a thing in shooters forever, I've heard people make fun of pros but it's mad annoying. thanks for the response!

is reaction time something I can improve? I feel like I'm always slow to react why I lose my gunfights

#49

Frags

–

i'm not op but the answer is yes and no. no because your innate reaction time is based on genetics but yes because there are a million things that influence it. the most important factors are probably hardware (monitor refresh rate, input lag, mouse click latency, etc) and the amount/quality of your sleep.

Do u usually tap or spray? I feel like tap strafing was meta but now I see all pros spraying and mastering spray control, especially with the vandal. I'm talking mid-short range fights, for long range you tap obviously

#53

Noxy100

Frags

–

its situational, yay and to an extent aleksandar set an unrealistic standard where they never crouched or sprayed, but they were exceptions. all the best aimers in the world go for crouch sprays (sometimes, not always) these days those guys included.

As a rule, if your first bullet hits body or is really close to the target you should tap, or if you have time to reset before you get shot back

If you swing into somebody already holding you you should crouch spray, or if you really need to confim a kill quick because you're gonna get caught in a crossfire, because you're essentially full commiting to a fight at that point

This also isn't something you should be consciously thinking about when ur fighting it should be automatic, you kinda just learn it intuitively. Hope that helps. And yeah long rage you should generally tap

They're obv insane players they have trophies for a reason, idk what you want me to say LOL

Theres no one answer to how to get better mechanically, its all super personal. Some people really like aim trainers, some dm, some tdm. I personally like tdm but just do what works for you, i dont have your answer. the only tip i can really give is work on your crosshair placement and always play and swing with confidence your not gonna have a good game mechanically or otherwise if your playing scared

Alright its been like 2 hours im getting off

Alot of people are asking similar stuff so my final tips on if you wanna get better:

1 play alot
2 don't tilt
3 work on your mechanics by whatever works for you, its personal. some people love dm some people love aimlabs, i like tdm personally
4 work on your crosshair placement
5 if your super serious about ranking up don't solo q

sorry for not answering everything, you still might catch me lurking on this site from time to time

didnt play against all but here you go

zekken- he kinda owns you in a sneaky way you don't know your getting shit on until you hit tab and he's 15/7. I haven't played against his famous neon or raze though so its prob different
cryo - best awper i've ever played against and hes really good on pistols too
demon1 - good aim but he never did anything too crazy
tenz - hes only been in my game once that I know of, he was on my team and we got hard stream sniped but i could tell he was good
sinatraa - he comms, pings, actually tries and gets his so hes a good teammate, his sova def better than his raze tho his raze isn't that special
inspire - don't know i've played with or against him yet
Som - good aim but he has this crazy ability to always peek you at the worst(best for him) time idk how he does it or if he has a sixth sense but its so fucking annoying
Shanks - he really funny so when hes on ur team the vibes are up, when you play against him he doesn't do anything special if you didnt know it was him you couldn't tell it wasnt a random
Curry - good aim and knows how to get his every time. hes really good and he and tdawgg are the best ranked callers ive played with

i don't watch every game or anything like that but every time i watch less i feel like im watching the best player in the world. I remember watching a game vs navi i think and he was just fucking annihilating them on bind. Then he was 1v5ing prx on split. Idk how he did this year but hes an animal and hes my goat

best players i can name are kangkang less aspas zekken texture meteor riens chichoo leaf sayf forsaken mako tenz karon alfajer

i dont watch everything tho so maybe ill get flamed for this. Also not gonna order them but kangkang gotta be 1 rn

Regarding improvement:

Do you think people in low elo overthink or underthink aiming? Ik from experience I could do like 8 billion range bots and DMs and go 8/22 in a ranked game.
How much does equipment really matter? Is there anyone you met with a relatively subpar setup?
How do you deal with teammates who bait the rest of the team? None of the guides on YT really touch on that subject.
How often do you use aim trainers?
Which role would you say is the best at ranking up?

Regarding your radiant experience:

Which role do you enjoy playing the most?
How often did you encounter other regions' pro players during Champs last year?
Do you notice a difference in comm quality or entertainment between radiant and lower rankings?
How close are the players in radiant? I always felt that (at least in NA) everyone knows each other at that level, whether it's pros or ranked demons.
Why does everyone play Illinois or Texas?
