1. Get your hardware sorted
If you want to compete on an even playing field, the last thing you want is a dated rig or sloppy internet connection holding you back.
2. Find a team you get along with [BSK] =P
Sometimes in life we’re all thrown into a situation where we have to work with people we aren’t so fond of. But there’s no doubting that getting on with your team mates is going to make things a whole lot easier down the line. In fact, it might even be better to pick friendly souls with potential to improve than switching in the cream of the crop without knowing them well. Playing with people you get along with will make you enjoy the game much more, and undoubtedly be more likely to stick together.
3. Practice your tactics in the best environments
If you’re considering competitive Counter-Strike, the chances are you’ll already spend a fair number of hours playing the game. But practicing in the right environments is key to your continual improvement. Deathmatch servers are a good place to start
4. Watch demos of other players
Practice might make perfect, but there are numerous intricacies to Counter-Strike play that you may be able to pick up from others. Watching demo videos of other players is a great way to assess their mad skills without fear of being gunned down if you take too long to stop and stare.
5. Forget the rest, play against the best
It’s always nice to win, so it might be tempting to select weaker opponents for practice matches. But this can be counter-productive. Unless you’re playing at the highest level you’re capable of, there’s not a great deal of compulsion to improve – and certainly less you can take away from both victories and defeats.
6. Communication is key [ventrilo]
As with all team-based games, but perhaps even more so with Counter-Strike, it’s important to be in good contact with your team mates throughout a match. A lack of communication can be the difference between a decisive victory and an embarrassing, crushing defeat, so talking to each other is tremendously important.
7. Embrace the community spirit
You might be tempted to pour all your spare hours into improving your game, but there’s more to being a professional Counter-Strike player than simply playing Counter-Strike. Your team could consist of the best players in the world, but if no one knows who you are, you’re probably going to end up going nowhere fast. Playing an active role in your country’s Counter-Strike community means that there is more general interest, which means there will be more tournaments and therefore more oppotunities to practice in competitions and under pressure.
Sorry for the giant post ; )
