Road to Diamond & Cerulean

[silver lichen]

or at accuracy

from the start of the session and the end

hope it helps

[mossy bay]

This. I feel like if you aren’t putting maximum effort and focus on the scenario when attempting it, you wont improve as much. I have a bad habit of autopiloting them when it takes me forever to get the score i need. I got to stop that

[mossy bay]

same, it takes me like 2 days to get the next ranking score now per scenario. well, more accuratey it takes 2 days like one out of every 3 scenarios

where it used to take me just a couple dozen trys, or even one-shotting sometimes

doesn't mean we can't still improve, we jiust reached a spot where we actually have to start putting the practice and grind in

similar to beginner gains at the gym

[next sand]

ive made some progress 5 away now

[silver lichen]

I think you will get it before me

idk if I even play today

not the best mood

[next sand]

na, its time to stop and play some games for a while

[silver lichen]

almost there

[silver lichen]

got it

Celadon Complete

[next sand]

nice one man

[mossy bay]

wp

[spare thistle]

hell yea

cerulean next

[silver lichen]

yeah im back to tracking

trying whisphererawcontrol

not looking too bad

[silver lichen]

done for the nighty

got my avg up

got like 4 times close to the pb

only a matter of time

until I break it

[next sand]

got my first Wool, the only one i can play thou for hard

[silver lichen]

That’s crazy you so good on thet scenario

[next sand]

im cursed on this one i swear...

[silver lichen]

Just need a few more tries

[silver lichen]

warming up on the easier scenario

I'll try to get seal

im right there

[silver lichen]

yeah almost there

really close

first cerulean score

seal

[spare thistle]

youre the goat

[silver lichen]

thanks for hyping me up

the dopamine from getting the pb is definitely helping me

push for more

taking a break

not getting the consistensy that I want on "Whisphere"

my scores are going from 13k to 11k

just going to chill

maybe come back to it later

[next sand]

how does ur easier benchmark look?

[silver lichen]

after I started grinding the medium one I just stopped playing these

today played to warmup for the medium

they alright could get seal

pretty easy

but complete would take effort for sure

[next sand]

oh, i spent way more time on them

ive really wanted to get complete but these 3 have truely stumped me for now

[silver lichen]

you going to get it soon enough

[spare thistle]

any time

[next sand]

i have a strength and a clear weakness. why does tracking have to be the bane of my excistence

[silver lichen]

maybe your fps background

by that I mean

if you have a lot of hours in cod

your target switching should be

good

tracking also

you just need to work on your weakness more

[next sand]

i have lots of hours on multiple hours in a range of games

[silver lichen]

maybe you are somehow compensating

with flicking or smth like that

and your tracking just didn't need to get to the level your ts or clicking is

huge only 500 left till cerulean score

didn't take a screenshot

but a new pb

14510

[silver lichen]

taking a break

got my avg up reached 14000 multiple times

we getting close

maybe today maybe tomorrow

but I will get it

[spare thistle]

i believe

[spare thistle]

almost beat me

[silver lichen]

yeah im close

catching up

[next sand]

made good progress got 5 tracking scenerios close to Cerulean

[silver lichen]

whisphere avg went up

2 days ago the avg was 11k and not its 12.6k

getting more consistent

didin't get one score in the 14k

only one close

somewhere around 13800

[silver lichen]

I think im getting the hang of it

but going to bed

[silver lichen]

Not plating today

[next sand]

huh, i caught up on this one

[silver lichen]

add me on steam here's my friend code: 1213556855

[silver lichen]

new pb

getting close to that 15k mark

[silver lichen]

cannot get any scores above 14500

this scenario is just something else

I go from 12k to 14k and I don't get why I stay on target better

some runs and some I feel like a bot

going to upload a vod to review

haven't done it in a while

feel like I need it for real

just something missing

im so inconsistent even though im fully locked in every run

[next sand]

personally for me it feels ones have more wrist use and others arm + faster and slower strafes its random enough were u get runs u do well and other not so much, for me im playing 70cm/360 to work on my arm and matching speed better

[silver lichen]

idk im now trying not to stay on the bot 100% on the time

but when I have the easy strafes to just maximize the score on the easy ones

I think I can reach cerulean with this

definitely not the way to go to get to the higher ranks but I think for cerulean it should be enough

[silver lichen]

nah fuck whisphere

going to play vdim

today

Road to Diamond & Cerulean

[spare thistle]

i believe

[silver lichen]

vdim is like a breath of fresh air

something new

[mossy bay]

i agree. 100 attempts in today and only upped my score by like 200 points

my scores are all over the place too, not conistrent at all

[silver lichen]

Same that’s why I am taking a break

Going to play vdim

[silver lichen]

Getting on soon

In an hours time

[next sand]

fix ur accuracy, try get 80%, it will jump boost ur score

[silver lichen]

okey going to try

to do that

trying but its not that easy

oh yeah I did it and not even plat but diamond score

crazy jump

[spare thistle]

holy diamond

good shit

[silver lichen]

getting closer

done for the day

2 hour sesison

[spare thistle]

plat complete soon

[silver lichen]

maybe this week

[spare thistle]

i believe

[mossy bay]

once i hit Celadon in whisphere, you needc to hit Cerulean

[silver lichen]

Im good

At least for now

Vdim giving me enjoyment

[silver lichen]

Almost done with training

[silver lichen]

home going to hop on kovaaks after eating

[silver lichen]

ima try to get plat complete today

[spare thistle]

I BELIEVE

YOU GOT THIS KING

[silver lichen]

YEAH

that's the energy I need

[spare thistle]

i think i creamed my pants when i plat complete

[silver lichen]

hope it happens to me

too

[spare thistle]

what i like to hear

it will

i can feel it

the aura

[silver lichen]

its not looking good

felt like this was a decent run

and I am not even close to plat score

[spare thistle]

if you just get that acc up with the speed

ez plat

[next sand]

if u fix ur accuracy your score should go up, should be getting around 90-95% accuracy

[silver lichen]

yeah im trying

[mossy bay]

you got it

the progress is there, you'll get it

[silver lichen]

done for now

had a lot of scores that are above 1200 with 90+ accuracy

just lacking the speed now

[silver lichen]

starting my session

going to still play

ww5t until I hit the plat score

maybe im got better over night

or smth

my brain took the time to adjust

chocked hard at the end

need like 3 more

2 more

1 more

[spare thistle]

you got this

[silver lichen]

got it

[spare thistle]

LETSSS GOOOO

good shit

[mossy bay]

nice, good stuff

[silver lichen]

done for today

really happy with progress

[spare thistle]

good shit man

proud of you

[silver lichen]

[silver lichen]

nvm I lied

im finally home after the competition

just really tired

going to go to bed

[next sand]

competition what kind of competition?

[silver lichen]

track

[spare thistle]

holy goat

[spare thistle]

i believe

[next sand]

I DID IT, I DID IT

[silver lichen]

can't even image how you got that whisphere score

[next sand]

just got cerulean on everything else then did it

[silver lichen]

okey

maybe when I get bored of vdim

I'll go back to viscose

[spare thistle]

nice scores

[spare thistle]

i don’t know why but i hate this scenario

[next sand]

cause u gotta click it multiple times unlike any other scenario ever

[silver lichen]

yeah I don't like it either

I have a pasu diamond score

and I haven't hit plat before or after that score

that score is a fluke I can't

[next sand]

pasu is a strange one, its all about target reading, and pacing, treat it like linear to a extent, if u can get the read and click timing u can get threw targets so fast, doing that for 1wall5targets_pasu Reload, even when i fucked it up, got lavender nearly indigo

[silver lichen]

not a pb but my second plat score ever on pasu

[next sand]

accuracy need a little work but its a good start

[silver lichen]

yeah ik just can't be bothered to grind pasu todayh

[spare thistle]

yea it’s not fun for me because of that i think

[next sand]

gotta deal with this nemisis of mine, last saffron score

[next sand]

well...

[next sand]

that was the first attempt....

[silver lichen]

celadon comple?

[next sand]

ye, thou getting it to cerulean, 80 points off rn

[silver lichen]

Good shit

[next sand]

i couldve had cerulean and cerulean complete today but i scuffed the last 3 multiple times. mabye ill try before i head off

[silver lichen]

didn't even see that you posted it

nice progress

[silver lichen]

played for 20mins more couldn pb again

but had literally the same score 3672 and like 4 scores in the 36 hundreds

[next sand]

what i find helpful was learning the technique for easier verison and playing it on higher sens and being smooth and controlled

[silver lichen]

I'll try it tomorrow

[silver lichen]

okey I'll try your method right now

[silver lichen]

loading up kovaaks right now

going to play hard variants

of smoothbot

and whisphere

im going to try to get 10k

then go back to the medium version of the scenario

[silver lichen]

locked in fr

[silver lichen]

30mins done

don't have that much motivation but its only a matter of time

until I start to grind again

[next sand]

better to not strain urself better to play for 30 mins a day rather than 3 hours for a week and stop

[silver lichen]

yeah that's my mindset

don't want to burn out

[silver lichen]

tomorrow morning going to have time to playt

[silver lichen]

Haven’t had the time to play

Idk when i will be able maybe weekend

[mossy bay]

i decided to switch to grinding vdim for a bit so i can untilt form whisphere. I don't see you scores though, have you been grinding the intermediate vdim lists at all?

i see tree's scores

[silver lichen]

yeah I played it but the last week

just haven't had the time or motivation to play

[silver lichen]

Back on kovaaks

Last time I played it was January 26

The longest break a took since starting this progress post

[silver lichen]

eating my yogurt right now

after that I will be hopping on kovaaks to do some vdim

[silver lichen]

Not playing today spending time with the fam

[silver lichen]

Not home today

Idk if I will be able to even play today

[silver lichen]

The day before when I got home

My head was hurting so much I just went to bet at like 9pm

[next sand]

did not realise my accuracy was so bad on that one

[silver lichen]

im not the best at it also

played like 20 min on only the cluster variant got a couple times close to the pb

but still choked hard

[silver lichen]

taking the day off

[silver lichen]

good score

[silver lichen]

not playing today

[silver lichen]

Not home for a whole week

[silver lichen]

Only 4 days left until I come home

[mossy bay]

[silver lichen]

Two days in a row I feel weak

no energy to play

want to play

but can't mentally going to sleep

early

[silver lichen]

10 points of diamond need to get it

@mossy bay

@mossy bay

[spare thistle]

grind this scenario a lot and you get ez pbs

same for the other switching scenarios

the regen/smooth variants are so good

[silver lichen]

Thanks for the tip

I'll keep that in mind

[silver lichen]

@mossy bay

[silver lichen]

resting today

[silver lichen]

no pbs today played some static

static is so hard I can't

[mossy bay]

[silver lichen]

going to demolish an old pb

[next sand]

felt awkward missed more than i should have

[silver lichen]

this with 90cm?

[next sand]

ye did better this time still poor at points

this is a benchmark scenario no?

[silver lichen]

this the vdim

[next sand]

ye it is, nearly massed out the intermediate for that one

time to find the other scenario u beat me in

honestly didnt think i would on 90cm too

[mossy bay]

the vdim has a bench?

[next sand]

ye its part of the cAT benches

[silver lichen]

Bam dropping 83 is crazy even with the stat padding at the end

[mossy bay]

@spare thistle @silver lichen

[spare thistle]

[mossy bay]

[silver lichen]

something to work on

Haven't played in the past few days

Lol

[silver lichen]

He not buh

[silver lichen]

He is named "Speegy"

[next sand]

ay were tied

[spare thistle]

i need to add you

what’s your steam code

[next sand]

1068223987

[mossy bay]

sent

[spare thistle]

added you

[silver lichen]

off for today

[silver lichen]

Loading up cs2 to try out the new update

[next sand]

cs has a new update?

[silver lichen]

yeah it got really bad reviews from the community

they changed the reload system

[next sand]

in what way?

[silver lichen]

now the left over rounds when you reload disappear

a gun has like 3 mags

It doesnt show bullets

I'll send youi the patch notes

When you reload in CS2, the leftover ammo in your magazine is dumped back into an essentially endless reserve supply. And so the decision to reload has never offered significant trade-offs—in a safe position with enough time, you might reload after firing a single bullet, or half a mag, or after firing down to empty, and the rest of the round would be unaffected.

We think the decision to reload should have higher stakes, so in today's update reloading has been redesigned. Now, when you reload, you'll drop the used magazine and discard all of its remaining ammo. Instead of 'topping off' your weapon with a few bullets, a new full magazine will be taken from the reserves whenever you reload.

[next sand]

why did they do that?

[silver lichen]

idk they do whatever they want

its the lowest rated update in cs history

[next sand]

makes sense, changed something thats been a thing since game came out

[silver lichen]

yeah just started a premier game

muscle memory

isn't going to help

reloading every time when I have the chance

[next sand]

i whiffed 3 off from indigo man...

[silver lichen]

you'll get it soon

[next sand]
