Gold 2 Deathmatch [PEARL]

[cedar elk]

I've gotten out of the brink of Silver 3 recently and just peaked Gold 3 but fell down to Gold 2 0rr, I linked my tracker, I know I've played an absurd amount lately and don't plan on playing any more games the rest of this act and just focusing on studying pro players and playing deathmatch and working on mechanics/game sense/timing. Next act I'll be limiting to only sentinel (mostly Cypher) and stop filling. I feel like part of my problem is due to my internet and teleporting during fights and jitteriness and "wide-swinging" angles that I never swung due to my internet (1:43, 3:34), and jitteriness when moving my mouse but I feel like I'm coping so I want a fresh pair of eyes. Also I have a bad knife-out habit in deathmatch, sorry for whoever has to see that.

I think I'm going to submit a competitive game VOD once I get back into playing since I think I have significantly worse game sense and awareness rather than my mechanics

Are you using raw accel? It seems like you're struggling to make micro-adjustments.

[cedar elk]

where can I see if I have it on?

i searched it up and it looks like something downloadable but I haven't messed around with anything except for my mouse software and turned on rawinputbuffer

i struggle with microadjustment a lot and it's gotten worse with the deadzone drills because i end up trying to strafe onto their head instead of moving my mouse

im doing the voltaic aimlabs playlist for that idk if it's useful though

@toxic parrot i saw that you reviewed someone else's deathmatch, if you don't mind could you please give me some pointers?

(it wouldn't let me send the message for some reason)

@cedar elk

(comfortable meaning 85-90%)

[cedar elk]

yea its 100% my problem i haven't done the deadzone bot drills as much as i should in deathmatch it feels like everyone strafes so i end up strafing onto their head anyways and not moving my mouse but its not really like that in ranked lol

thank you!

[toxic parrot]

anytime!
