Just Give Me 9 Minutes, You'll Out Aim Everyone — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00What if you could actually get aim like
- 0:01the pros, win all your fights, and top
- 0:03frag every game? I mean, climbing ELO
- 0:05would be easy. But first, why do pros
- 0:07focus on their aim so much? How you
- 0:09allocate your time is the biggest
- 0:11determining factor in whether you will
- 0:12get good or become average. Naturally,
- 0:15there are better and worse ways, and
- 0:16that's why not everyone is at the
- 0:18highest ranks. It's not due to talent or
- 0:20genetics. It's how much time you're
- 0:21spending and on what. And this is
- 0:23exactly where the pros separate
- 0:25themselves from everyone else. When I
- 0:27first started taking CS seriously, I
- 0:29spent a hundreds of hours just blindly
- 0:31grinding, doing the exact same things as
- 0:33everyone else, and I was completely
- 0:35stuck being average. But once I realized
- 0:37I was practicing the wrong way and
- 0:38shifted my focus, I broke out of that
- 0:40plateau and suddenly started improving
- 0:43insanely fast. How? Aim is the answer,
- 0:46but it's not the full picture. You can
- 0:47practice CS in countless ways: spray
- 0:49control, utility, movement, game sense,
- 0:52map knowledge, and much more. So, why
- 0:54would you focus on aim? To answer this,
- 0:56we need to look at hacks. There's a
- 0:58reliable way to find out what skill is
- 1:00the most important in any game. So,
- 1:01what's the most important one for CS?
- 1:03All you have to ask is, would you rather
- 1:05have aimbot or wall hacks? In CS, it's
- 1:08an easy choice: aimbot. And that's
- 1:10exactly why pros obsess so much over
- 1:12aim, because raw mechanics can
- 1:14constantly bail you out out of bad
- 1:15situations. But the problem is that most
- 1:18players actually already over focus on
- 1:20their aim, but they're still nowhere
- 1:22near the level of pros. Why is that? Let
- 1:24me explain, and I promise this will make
- 1:26sense. Imagine you're building a house
- 1:28and you spent all your time and money
- 1:30building the most incredible, expensive
- 1:32roof possible, but you completely ignore
- 1:34the foundation and the walls. It doesn't
- 1:36matter how good that roof is. Without
- 1:38the walls to support it, the whole thing
- 1:40just crashes down. Most of you have this
- 1:42exact same backward perspective on aim,
- 1:44and it is keeping you stuck. You are
- 1:46obsessing over the roof, your aim, while
- 1:48completely ignoring the walls, your
- 1:50movement, positioning, and crosshair
- 1:52placement. Aim can effectively be
- 1:53trained in two ways: in game, through DM
- 1:56and workshop maps, or you can also use
- 1:58aim trainers. Aim trainers isolate raw
- 2:01aim with pure focus and progressive
- 2:03difficulty while in game adds the other
- 2:05game factors such as positioning or
- 2:07movement. They train the same skill but
- 2:09very differently. So, what should you
- 2:11do? When I was younger, I never trained
- 2:13my aim. I did neither of the two
- 2:15options. All I did was play ranked,
- 2:17maybe some retake servers here and
- 2:18there. The result? I never got much
- 2:20better. When starting to take the game
- 2:22more seriously though, I knew that
- 2:24something had to change if I wanted to
- 2:25actually get somewhere. So, I tried aim
- 2:27trainers, how they work, how to use
- 2:29them, and I found a lot of interesting
- 2:30things. I am an aimer at heart. I have
- 2:33over 3,000 hours in aim trainers. I
- 2:35never stop playing them, and I firmly
- 2:36believe they are the absolute best way
- 2:39to build raw aiming mechanics. But
- 2:41despite having top tier mouse control, I
- 2:43realized something important. Winning
- 2:45aim duels isn't actually just about your
- 2:47raw aim. But before we continue, a quick
- 2:49word from our sponsor. skins.com is the
- 2:51best place to buy or sell your skins
- 2:54since there are zero fees, and they also
- 2:55have peer-to-peer trading. So, the skins
- 2:57move directly from one user to another.
- 3:00They support tons of regions and offer a
- 3:01wide variety of deposit and payment
- 3:03methods to make your experience
- 3:05seamless. So, if you're interested in
- 3:06upgrading your inventory or tired of
- 3:08your old skins, don't forget to use code

- 3:11description.
- 3:12How well you set up the fight completely
- 3:14determines your odds of winning it. A
- 3:16bad fight setup basically guarantees a
- 3:18lost duel even if you have 3,000 hours
- 3:21in KovaaK's. I realized I had a lot of
- 3:23untapped potential on the server. I had
- 3:25to bridge the gap between my raw
- 3:26mechanics and actual CS, and that meant
- 3:29translating that mouse control into
- 3:31in-game aim things like mastering
- 3:33crosshair placement and getting the true
- 3:35feel for how enemies swing. To figure
- 3:36this out, I looked at the pros. How do
- 3:38they set up their aim for success? The
- 3:40basic things are like angle advantage
- 3:42and perfect crosshair placement. But
- 3:44there was one specific skill I noticed
- 3:46that most people completely ignore.
- 3:48Understanding exactly when to hold an
- 3:50angle and actively peek. This might
- 3:52sound trivial, but trust me, it's not. I
- 3:54neglected this for way too long,
- 3:56constantly peeking everything because I
- 3:58thought an aggressive style fit my aim
- 4:00the best. But in reality, it was a
- 4:02massive gap in my gameplay. The reason
- 4:04this is so important comes down to
- 4:06timing. If you get caught mid strafe
- 4:08with your pants off when an enemy swings
- 4:10you, your chances of winning that fight
- 4:12already drop. But, is this all you need
- 4:14to know to aim max? No, far from it.
- 4:16But, setting up your aim for success is
- 4:18the very first step to building that
- 4:20foundation. But, the fight setup is just
- 4:22the base of that foundation. The next
- 4:24part
- 4:25>> [music]
- 4:25>> is mastering the single most important
- 4:27aiming skill in CS, which are micro
- 4:29corrections. Throughout the whole time I
- 4:31spent aim training, I saw a lot of
- 4:33people making mistakes that caused them
- 4:34hundreds of hours of wasted time. So,
- 4:37let me tell you what to actually do. If
- 4:38you have half-decent crosshair
- 4:40placement, your goal is to put your
- 4:41crosshair as close to the enemy as
- 4:43possible before the fight even starts.
- 4:45Because of this, most of your actual aim
- 4:47duels happen within a small area around
- 4:49the center of your screen. When you get
- 4:51into a duel, or when someone swings your
- 4:53angle, they're only going to move few
- 4:55steps left or right. And [music] winning
- 4:56that fight comes down to having flawless
- 4:58micro corrections. Fix that, and your
- 5:01aim will instantly feel sharper. But,
- 5:02here is the trap that most people fall
- 5:04into. They grind micro scenarios all
- 5:06day, but they completely neglect the
- 5:08hidden backbones of aiming. Things like
- 5:11click timing. Click timing is hard to
- 5:12explain because it's not a dedicated
- 5:14scenario you can just easily spam in an
- 5:16aim trainer. It's an underlying skill.
- 5:19It's basically having the instinct for
- 5:21the exact time you're supposed to click.
- 5:23This is incredibly important, especially
- 5:25when holding angles. If you have perfect
- 5:27crosshair placement, and an enemy wide
- 5:29swings you, you rarely even need to
- 5:30micro. You just need good click timing
- 5:33to shoot exactly when the enemy crosses
- 5:35your [music] crosshair. If you just
- 5:36focus on moving your mouse fast, but
- 5:38neglect the rest, your mechanics [music]
- 5:40will never actually translate. But,
- 5:42knowing what to practice is only part of
- 5:44the equation. You also need to know
- 5:46exactly how to practice it, and which
- 5:48scenarios work. Train like the pros, aim
- 5:51like the pros. I never actually answered
- 5:53why pros have such good aim. So, let's
- 5:55get to it. It's because they spend their
- 5:57time on the right things. First off,
- 5:59most of them have played CS, or other
- 6:01games, their whole lives, and previous
- 6:03experience helps a lot. But, when I
- 6:05started pro routine, I found that they
- 6:06lack massive amount of hours in DM's.
- 6:09Why? Because if you want to get good at
- 6:11a specific skill, aim duels in this
- 6:12case, you need to practice that against
- 6:15good players. In realizing this, I knew
- 6:17I needed to use DM to bridge the gap
- 6:19between my raw aim and in-game aim. I
- 6:21didn't completely drop everything to
- 6:23only play DM all day though, but I made
- 6:25sure it was a highly focused part of my
- 6:27play time. The beauty of playing DM is
- 6:29that you train all of the aspects around
- 6:31aim duels that aim trainers can't.
- 6:34Counter-strafing, reading the player
- 6:36movement, and isolating angles with
- 6:38crosshair placement. [music] So,
- 6:39naturally, this has to be the core part
- 6:41of your routine. But before moving
- 6:42further, I want to give you a challenge
- 6:44that helped me. Over the next month, I
- 6:46want you to get 500 kills in DM every
- 6:48single day. Focus on taking clean fights
- 6:51and maintaining good technique for those
- 6:53500 kills. So, what else is missing? Why
- 6:56can someone spend hundreds of hours in
- 6:58aim trainers and get zero results in
- 7:00game? It comes down to bad routines and
- 7:02practicing the wrong way. Is aim
- 7:04training strictly necessary? No. Most CS
- 7:07pros build their mechanics over tens of
- 7:09thousands of hours purely in game. But
- 7:11for those of us who want to optimize and
- 7:14get as good as possible in the least
- 7:16amount of time, aim training is the
- 7:18ultimate shortcut to isolate and perfect
- 7:20your aim. That obsession led me to
- 7:22figure out how to actually make aim
- 7:24training transfer to the server. By
- 7:26spending the majority of your time on
- 7:27micro corrections and flicking, you
- 7:29already solve a huge part of the
- 7:31problem. But you also need to train your
- 7:33muscle groups correctly. While 90% of
- 7:35your actual duels are tiny adjustments
- 7:37relying mostly on your wrist and
- 7:39fingertips, completely neglecting your
- 7:41arm is a huge mistake. You still need
- 7:43your arm for flicks and other vital
- 7:45movements. So, if you train only your
- 7:47wrist, your mechanics will fall apart
- 7:49the second a fight forces you out of
- 7:51that micro correction radius. The secret
- 7:53is training the entire arm, but still
- 7:55heavily prioritizing your wrist and
- 7:57fingertips, since that is what actually
- 7:59wins the majority of your duels. The
- 8:01problem is knowing exactly what to play.
- 8:04So, I took the guesswork out for you.
- 8:06From my time aim training, I will custom
- 8:08playlist specifically for micro
- 8:10adjustments and flicking, which I've put
- 8:12in the description. These scenarios
- 8:14focus on the exact skills you need in
- 8:15the game. But here's the absolute golden
- 8:17rule, if you want this to actually work,
- 8:19aim training should never take up more
- 8:21than 10 to 20% of your total play time.
- 8:24Aim trainers are a supplement, not a
- 8:26replacement for the game. Use the
- 8:28playlist in the description to isolate
- 8:30and sharpen your aim and spend the other
- 8:32portion of your time playing the actual
- 8:34game. After combining optimized aim
- 8:36training with focus death matches, my
- 8:38mechanics were sharp. But to truly
- 8:40elevate my gameplay, there was one final
- 8:42thing, and that is developing my own aim
- 8:44style. What even is aim style? In CS,
- 8:47there isn't just one correct way to move
- 8:49your mouse. All that really matters at
- 8:50the end of the day is your time to kill.
- 8:52If you can kill your enemy before they
- 8:54can kill you, your technique works. If
- 8:56you look at the absolute best players in
- 8:58the world, you see completely different
- 9:00approaches. Think about a player like
- 9:02Zywoo or Donk. Their aim is incredibly
- 9:04smooth, relying heavily on perfect
- 9:06crosshair placement calm micro
- 9:08adjustments. Then look at someone like
- 9:10NiKo or Monsey, who have much more
- 9:12aggressive, snappy, and movement-heavy
- 9:14style. They are all top-tier players,
- 9:16but their mechanics look completely
- 9:18different. What I'm trying to say is
- 9:20that you shouldn't just blindly copy a
- 9:21pro's exact aiming style, and you have
- 9:23to find out what actually works for you.
- 9:25Let's say you have insanely fast flicks,
- 9:27then you can maybe lean into an
- 9:28aggressive style. So, play to your
- 9:30strengths and practice your weaknesses,
- 9:32and you will finally develop your own
- 9:34way of aim like Zywoo.
