Sunset Deathmatch Silver 2

General gunfights. I seemed to have a hard time adjusting my mouse in this VOD's fights, as well as being generally unprepared, so I was looking for advice on that.

Also I don't know why the yap didn't show up lmao I was malding so much this VOD

Firstly I wouldn't worry too much about the raw aim, u were playing 600rr up that game

Then for the unpreparedness
Getting swung from an angle ur not looking at is a bit of an awareness issue, for example at 0:30 you could just stand a tad further back and not be exposed to "flank" as early while getting virtually the same fights on site (same thing for 1:57 where u expose urself to site while not looking there, staying a bit further back wouldve saved you here aswell)
The map awareness to get shot in the back less is gonna come over time, but shouldn't be a focus point, since positions and angles tend to be a lot less jumbled in real games

So the big part we have to work on is if someone appears somewhere close to our crosshair
id say you tend to shoot a bit early when holding (watch back the fight with chamber at 2:17 frame by frame for example) so i would try to take a bit longer to confirm the headshot, and have the reflex to start strafing after missing a bullet, cuz ur actual gunfight technique is good (take the fight with iso at 4:32 as an example and ignore the aiming part)

when swinging ur sometimes not ready for enemies to be in more obscure corners, id recommend slicing the pie a bit more for angles like the one at 1:54 and in general thinking about every spot an enemy could reasonably (obv this is different in comp and dm) be when swinging, and then preaiming for the most likely ones

I completely forgot about the concept of slicing the pie, thanks for reminding me about that! Yeah, I'll try my best to apply this stuff, thanks for taking the time to review me!

note on slicing the pie: before u slice a pie, think about the most common spots you are exposing urself to, and have each "slice" end with ur crosshair on the "head" of a common spot

#

(as opposed to what u were doing from 4:56 to 5:03 for example)

Yeah, I know what slicing the pie is, I just sometimes have trouble remembering to actually do it lol. I think it's a thing of rushing to get into a fight as soon as possible for some reason
