Three Steps to Get Started
- Practice aim first: Spend 15 minutes on Workshop aim maps (aim_botz) for flicks and tracking, then warm up in deathmatch.
- Learn the economy: Remember the basic rhythm of “lose pistol round → force buy or save on round two.”
- Learn the maps: For each map, master 3 common smokes and 2 flashes — enough for most situations.
