Did we talk about call-outs yet? Learn them [imgur.com] !





! Crosshair. Your crosshair should be at head-level at all times. Don't aim at the sky, don't aim at the floor. That's not where your enemies will be.





Don't pre-aim. Instead, your crosshair should "stick" to corners. Watch the following video! It will improve your aim a lot!







Don't use your speakers. Get yourself a good headset. It's easy to hear enemies if they're running (that's why you don't run if you think there might be an enemy near!). Position yourself in a way that you can clearly tell whether someone is coming from the left or right. Also get a feeling for the volume to tell if an enemy is close or further away.





Learn the recoil patterns [imgur.com] of the ak47 and m4a1. Unless you know them and know how to counter them, don't even think about spraying. Use single shots or 3-bullet bursts.





of the ak47 and m4a1. Unless you know them and know how to counter them, don't even think about spraying. Use single shots or 3-bullet bursts. You run faster with your knife out. I know this is widely known but yet it's often ignored. Switch to your knife at the beginning of a round to get to your spot, then change to your primary by pressing 2 followed by 1.





Your main weapons : p250, P2K, Glock, Ak47, M4A1, AWP.

Notice, that you won't need the p250 in pistol rounds, as your enemies are unlikely to wear armor and the default pistols should do the job.

Make sure to get yourself familiar with all weapons . Even though, the ones I mentioned are the most used ones, you will still find yourself in situations where you are carrying a different weapon!

Also get yourself familiar with the different types of grenades: HE, Flash, Smoke, Decoy, Molotov.

Especially flash grenades can be very helpful and should be bought if possible.

Armor/kevlar: As soon as you have enough money, you should definitely buy armor. Also notice, that you don't need to rebuy armor until it's under 50 points.





Different buy types:



Full-buy : Everyone buys a rifle, secondary and 2-3 grenades. You need to have enough money to do that, otherwise you have to decide between doing a half-buy or eco-round .



Half-buy : A half buy could be a shotgun (Nova, Sawed-off, Mag7) or if you have some more money a Famas or a Galil. Be aware, that you will have to win that round, otherwise you will lose the one after that as well because you won't be able to buy.



(Full-) Eco : Instead of the half-buy, you could go for a (full-) eco-round and buy nothing at all or just 1 grenade. If you're lucky you get some kills or even win the round.

Despite the outcome, you will be able to do a full-buy the next round.



One of the most fundamental tactics as a ct is stacking a bomb site.

Stacking a bomb site means that 3 people or even the whole teams goes to one bomb site. This is a very risky move but it can pay out if you're stacking the bomb site which the terrorist are attacking/rushing. Make sure to stay more or less hidden, otherwise the terrorists might notice what's happening and make a quick rotation to the empty bomb site!

So you think you're ready for Classic Competitive now?Great!I hope you know the call-outs for the important maps:Dust2, Inferno, Nuke, Train, Mirage, Cache.By knowing I mean more than knowing the two bombsites.If you can't coordinate with your team which way to go you aren't ready.
