I would generally agree with Raider that you cant really go on esea and play nova. I will also argue people can play above their level, I found it way too stressful as at least 3 coffees required to even be in the right time zone reactions wise
and I would not attempt it again now.
If you found a nova, a lot of the time its just a free trial for a week and those codes only work once every 6 months.
I did play with one guy gn2 who could kill LEM, not just lucky kills but genuinely get maybe 15 decent kills in a normal match. Very rare people can outperform consistently that well though and his mm rank was wrong tbh
Also ESEA has put in skill matching, in theory both sides should have a lower player. They are going to change RWS to 70 ranks at some point ? Players might not want it but I think esea wants everyone to be able to be able to play not just near LEM
Don't worry, I'm crap at this game as well... I've been DMG for over 3-6 months now?
Decent rank is not LEM, I think thats putting it way too high. Anything less is a bit of a joke to a pro team I guess but thats not my definition of decent
Silver - beginner/casual
nova - amateur
MG - intermediate
Eagle+ - sub pro
Also anybody else know if the famas has been buffed lately?
I seem to be doing really well with it know conpared to a couple weeks ago.
Still suck with the galil though so I avoid that at the moment.
Famas is much better then p90 or similar. Its not changed, just a good one to learn for the money. So long as you get headshots it kills fast, its longer range. Most dont like its spray like galil but I think its easier to use then galil but not many could do 3k with it that well especially in a rush.
If we are losing I buy Famas, chest armor, decoy and its less then just 1 m4, AK will 1 shot head armour anyway and famas can be lethal enough to win. Any spare cash is more usefully spent on a smoke imo
I would never suggest jumping behind a box to get info its so risky. I've got quite a few kills against people that try it just by pure reflex with an ak/awp.
Shoulder peeking is usually a better way to get info.
I wouldnt suggest as normal but occasionally yea. Normal strafe peek would be less predictable and jumping can be an easy kill but to people passing into nova, I think its ok to bear in mind. The video clip above shows a jump
A big mistake was the really slow peek or just blatantly standing in the open waiting. Plant the bomb and people go chase kills or just stand there, best thing is peekaboo
Waste CT time, make them come over and take you out of cover dont do it for them and hopefully time runs out or you can do normal strafe peek kill. Checking very fast is a good tip as low ranks dont do this always , I was just adding that on and Ive seen every rank do it to some extent so I think its an option if not the best one.
An example, d2 b site window, you can peek tunnels exit by jumping without really exposing yourself if the angles are right.
