How close do you guys sit to the monitor? I've been trying to get used to sitting at an arms length but i feel like I play way worse when i do tbh. I would like to be Elige but I am forced to be Yekindar

normal distance, not far and not close. Playing like YEKINDAR is objectively wrong and not effective (also not healthy)

yeah I agree. honestly I think its just a mental barrier, I play worse because I think i'll play worse because my monitor isn't touching my nose :p

Focus on your posture bro. Put the monitor where you're comfortable with.

If you sit far and you play good then never think about it, but I think for me personally I just saw some CS pros back in the day sitting close and assumed it had some merit and nowadays i'm just too used to it to feel comfortable sitting far. I do try though and i have been getting better w it

honestly its just preference, i think farther away is a better choice in terms of comfortability and calmness. but being close to the monitor is def better for focusing up and performing.

1 cm from the screen so that you can pixel aim everyone in the lobby

My eyes bug out when I am too close. Around 70 cm from the monitor

One and a half arms length away is how I do it. Straight back, straight neck. The key to maintaining your posture is to make sure that you don't start shrimping out while gaming.

Isnt playing straight uncomfortable for you? I lean forward a little bit, I feel like I am way more focused and reactive that way, also applies in other games but valorant being a game where you need to be fast I feel it a lot more

Keyboard a few cms away from the edge of the table and the monitor stand a few cms away from the top of my keyboard, basically not too close like some people in cs used to play but close enough that I can see everything clearly
