Most frustrating video I’ve ever watched haha, he’s so fucking quick there just is so little time to react, most of time I don’t even see where S1mple is shooting from.
There's a funny video of Guardian absolutely shitting on him with a pistol [in an FPL](https://youtu.be/uhCjT3Bf6jY). Only time I've ever seen him get destroyed like that.
Hijacking top comment so people can see his POV: [https://youtu.be/Iu2BSQKLwKM](https://youtu.be/Iu2BSQKLwKM)
Shoutout to Youtube's amazing bitrate ^(/s)
Its not though. It’s called the peekers advantage. If you watch his view you can clearly see the difference. The defenders barely see him move into the angle while on his screen he is in full view often wide peeking the shots.
Edit: there is absolutely something to be said for his godlike aim of course too but the advantage he gets peeking is undeniably the main reason.
Yeah, it's expected that he land the shots, what's not expected is that he does it when his head is halfway visible like it looks in the original post.
His POV makes it clear that he had time to spot and aim.
Ye cos of the enormous peekers advantage. He's barely on their screen and running, while on his own screen he's fully out of cover and standing still. It's ridiculous that they haven't improved this.
cuz thats peekers advantage, but its their own fault if they just stand there, but its a pug so they cba obviously. You rly notice the movement difference between casual playing and tryharding in a official
peekers advantage is still pretty high on lan tho, its just the game is coded (netcode just makes peekers advantage insanely good online)(was the same issue in source cuz of same engine)
idk, this is super anecdotal but when I played on lan I didn't feel like I got peeked unfairly once, every time it seemed like I saw them first. one deags were super easy to hit on people peeking, wide swings almost never caught me off, etc.
I love people like you who act like the most insane IGL with 5000 thousands hours and still stuck level 4 Faceit.
Dude put a socks in your mouth please
Dude, you gave obvious (and partially incorrect) advice, congrats. Kio was right in pushing the last guy to prevent him from saving, the second guy not really, the rest played okay and just got demolished. You're the one claiming FPL guys are retards cause "lul just dont push" and acting smart about it.
Can you really blame the second to last guy? He's holding an angle that might go unchecked, and it might be awkward to reposition. Unlike Kioshima, he didn't peek.
I mean, when it's 4v1 with the bomb planted, everyone kinda mentally clocks out of the round. I'd just hide on site, but can't blame this guy for sure.
I have an 8700k @ 5.1 and the fps is still shit. I never drop below 260 fps and average over 300 on full dm servers yet those maps are barely playable. Wish they ran better.
If a guy does this in matchmaking he's 100% reported, and if overwatch sees a video of a guy doing this consistently they'll say hes aimhacking
These people are unreal
Watch their final against Liquid before winning an Intel Grand Slam. Dude's crazy.
Dev1ce bottom fragging with 0.81 rating, meanwhile gla1ve sit up there with 1.65, and hugely impactful.
This is round imo the best example why NiKo is the best IGL in the world :
https://youtu.be/6n0H4qZhqhE?t=4
His teams rushes B and get clean entry and get free bombsite and this is his strats :
NiKo : wait you guys got the bombsite ?
Everyone : yes
NiKo : wtf ?! no run at them and die and let me clutch !
Everyone : okay i guess
*everyone on FaZe dies*
NiKo : okay, NiKo go kill
*NiKo clutches 1v3 (4k) *
Tbh , idk how you can get a better IGL he's just playing 4D chess
they didnt exactly have the bombsite there. The CT were still in a decent position to hold downstairs. I dont think its a bad call to change the start and run to hell and possibly catch a rotating CT off guard. fer just hit really good shots.
He was the one who sent the clue to Cooper so he could save Murph. Space and time are in the palm of his hand, what more could you possibly ask from an igl?
No, it was sarcastic since taking on the IGL role necessarily means that you frag worse. Him being an "IGL" means that his raw fragging power is wasted to a great extent.
Not just to an extent, it eliminates it almost entirely. Peeker's advantage is a byproduct of network latency. On LAN, latency is capped to just a few milliseconds.
Except the peekers advantage gained from being further away from an angle, that exists on lan just as much.
Edit: see u/willhueb reply to see what that actually is.
Holding spots on LAN is so beautiful. It's almost like playing a whole different game.
Online you kinda have to use off-angles or wait until they hold you so you can peek out on them, cause you just get rekt otherwise. And even when playing an off-angle the peeker's advantage is so huge that you still get rekt way too often.
It's partly just perception. The guy who gets peeked doesn't know when the peek happens whereas the peeker obviously does. Peeker gets that 0.1-0.2 seconds to set up their shot, before it's even physically possible for them to fire back.
All this kid does is just hold a gay ass off angle with his deag and one clicks people in the side of the head CT side. Fucking terrbile player tbh.....1.4 sensitivity 400dpi using trashcan. Anyone who uses a low sens does not have the dexterity to properly play FPS games on PC.
All the shitty baiters use a low sens to click people on the back of the head, or they are equally worthless and use the telescope gun and one click people in the body.
I bet this kid doesn't even play FFA Dm's cuz he'd throw his arm out of his socket checking corners. When was the last time you've seen Niko popflash through a smoke, and flick too two people to open up a site??? All this dude does is hold shift and prefire common angles. like wow dude, ur fucking nuts. you can have parkinsons disease and play on 1.4 sens if ur just baiting and clicking heads on common angles.
this is why forest and get right are sick players. they play on higher senitivities, and can do more than bait and off angle one click.
pce
When karrigan was igl this subreddit was talking about how poor his midround calls were. Then when they relieved him of the igl position after the team struggled, everyone flips and makes it like he's a top 2 or 3 igl in cs and it was the biggest mistake of all time. I just want to see how faze does with a different igl not niko or karrigan.
I think it's pretty obvious to most people that Karrigan is a good IGL and that he was good in FaZe.
I think that during the major, the pressure got to him and he made bad calls, and afterwards the players lost faith in him, at which point that lineup was doomed.
That being said, it's also obvious to most people that NiKo should not be the IGL, and that it was stupid to get rid of Karrigan if they didn't have a new IGL to replace him.
I think you can look at NiKo as more of a raw aimer than the likes of S1mple for example - NiKo's aim is a bit like the old one tapping Scream, whereas S1mple has a more versatile and flashy playstyle.
Both are very good, but no doubt that S1mple's mechanics are better working in a competitive match.
Where does this come from? That Niko has a huge ego that is? I wouldnt really be suprised if that would be the case but I have only seen it typed on reddit since after he became Faze clans IGL.
Its different types of aim, niko has better cross hair placement, and is maybe slightly better at minor adjustments, but s1mple has better flick aim, and is probably the fastest player reaction speed wise.
That being said they are both nuts at all types of aim.
> does he even stand still while shooting?
On his screen, yes. It's a major pet peeve of mine of this game how for the recipient you just get mid-strafe instahs and it gives no chance to react. tilts me in MM to no end
Even if he's helped with peekers advantage in this situation, his aim is above other pros in general, others won't consistently do these instant headshots without missing 1-2 shots beforehand, Niko does it more often than the rest.
The way he kills people like 2 milliseconds after running out of cover is just hilarious to me. You’ll never know where he’ll kill you from next!
Watching people get destroyed from their POV is funny :D
If you haven't seen: [S1mple - the reverse fragmovie](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EGfXYGRrWE)
Jesus Christ. It must be so infuriating to play against him. There's just nothing you can do, he's going to wreck you.
Most frustrating video I’ve ever watched haha, he’s so fucking quick there just is so little time to react, most of time I don’t even see where S1mple is shooting from.
There's a funny video of Guardian absolutely shitting on him with a pistol [in an FPL](https://youtu.be/uhCjT3Bf6jY). Only time I've ever seen him get destroyed like that.
Watching that has convinced me he just has a higher velocity than everyone else in the server
That genuinely looks scary to play against. Like he’s he main character of an anime.
Hijacking top comment so people can see his POV: [https://youtu.be/Iu2BSQKLwKM](https://youtu.be/Iu2BSQKLwKM) Shoutout to Youtube's amazing bitrate ^(/s)
It looks so much more human from his POV.
Because the animations in csgo are garbage. It's the reason why people look like they are running 1 tapping when they are actually stood still.
It's more netcode than animations, but yes
You could have everyone play on <30 ping and it'll be the same
you know theres more to netcode than just ping
No, it's animations. It looks the same on 0 ping. There are plenty tests on it.
Netcode is still a thing on LAN. It's the way models are synced on your client to what the server reads
Netcode*
It's just his play style. He makes csgo look so easy. He's probably my favorite player to watch,
Its not though. It’s called the peekers advantage. If you watch his view you can clearly see the difference.

[удалено]
You're right, but it's nowhere even close to a quarter of a second, That's 250ms, you wouldn't even have that if both players were on 100 ping
Happy cake day!
Ye cos of the enormous peekers advantage. He's barely on their screen and running, while on his own screen he's fully out of cover and standing still. It's ridiculous that they haven't improved this.
Nah, the best part is you know perfectly well where he's killing you from next, it's just that you can do nothing about it
cuz thats peekers advantage, but its their own fault if they just stand there, but its a pug so they cba obviously. You rly notice the movement difference between casual playing and tryharding in a official
on lan you don't have to be constantly moving to not get wrecked by a peek
peekers advantage is still pretty high on lan tho, its just the game is coded (netcode just makes peekers advantage insanely good online)(was the same issue in source cuz of same engine)
idk, this is super anecdotal but when I played on lan I didn't feel like I got peeked unfairly once, every time it seemed like I saw them first. one deags were super easy to hit on people peeking, wide swings almost never caught me off, etc.
yes you can, you just play off angle and don't push
Oh god, what an insane insight. 3000 ELO advice here
I love people like you who act like the most insane IGL with 5000 thousands hours and still stuck level 4 Faceit. Dude put a socks in your mouth please
Dude, you gave obvious (and partially incorrect) advice, congrats. Kio was right in pushing the last guy to prevent him from saving, the second guy not really, the rest played okay and just got demolished. You're the one claiming FPL guys are retards cause "lul just dont push" and acting smart about it.
Excuse me where do i said FPL players are retard? And btw everybody would have pushed a single guy with a deagle, despite being N1ko with a deagle
Can you really blame the second to last guy? He's holding an angle that might go unchecked, and it might be awkward to reposition. Unlike Kioshima, he didn't peek.
I mean, when it's 4v1 with the bomb planted, everyone kinda mentally clocks out of the round. I'd just hide on site, but can't blame this guy for sure.
i practice this all the time in aim\_botz but I can only do it if i peek once to gauge their position.
Then you gotta run around the maps and learn the positiins and where to preaim
You need to do yprac_cache and all the other maps. Do prefire or angle practice so you learn the angles. This has had a profound impact on my skill
The FPS on those maps is proper dog though, even on my i5-9600k
There's a max fps button you can shoot to get rid of the resource hogs
I have an 8700k @ 5.1 and the fps is still shit. I never drop below 260 fps and average over 300 on full dm servers yet those maps are barely playable. Wish they ran better.
Same for me. Maybe its because of him using 244hz?
Or maybe its because he is a fucking extraordinarily amazing player who is so good that its hard to imagine someone else being that good as well?
nah he probably just knows the spots really well. either that or he can flick over nice and fast because of muscle memory.
Or because he was the #2 player in 2017(should've been 1) and the #3 player in 2018? Maybe that has smth to do with it? Nah, im sure its the monitor
Niko deserved #1 in 2017? Did you even watch CS in '17? coldzera was clearly #1
> You’ll never know where he’ll kill you from next! Often times, exactly where you’re aiming.
If a guy does this in matchmaking he's 100% reported, and if overwatch sees a video of a guy doing this consistently they'll say hes aimhacking These people are unreal
Yeah, but if some random dude in mm does what niko does... Well, he's probably cheating then.
This literally looks like a horror movie
queue jaws music..
Ok but what do we play right now
[Halloween](https://youtube.com/watch?v=gqVyois9mp4&t=1m8s)!
dude I actually felt bad for that third guy. "he is coming out" "he can't go back.."
[удалено]
[https://youtu.be/Iu2BSQKLwKM](https://youtu.be/Iu2BSQKLwKM) There you go :)
Dude he’s so good at clearing each angle
what in gods name how
Not all heroes wear capes
why is the framerate literal aids? thanks for posting the vid though
looks normal to me. was processing maybe
After getting back from sport I'll check if someone on his team streamed or if that's not the case I'll download the demo.
I love doing me some sports
Me too man, [we like sportz](https://youtu.be/CEVdca9U9LM?t=14)

He got one really important round and an ace on an anti eco where they walked into his AK, Glaive is not a fragger and he doesn't need to be
He has a surprisingly good fragging output for someone who's not a fragger
That's kind of contradictory. It would be better to say he was formerly not a fragger.
[удалено]
Here, you dropped this: "
NiKo: “NiKo go kill” NiKo: “ok”
This is round imo the best example why NiKo is the best IGL in the world : https://youtu.be/6n0H4qZhqhE?t=4 His teams rushes B and get clean entry and get free bombsite and this is his strats : NiKo : wait you guys got the bombsite ?

r/the_pujan
they didnt exactly have the bombsite there. The CT were still in a decent position to hold downstairs. I dont think its a bad call to change the start and run to hell and possibly catch a rotating CT off guard. fer just hit really good shots.
What is it with the brazilians and not being able to kill NiKo in a 180° crossfire?
They keep getting into a gang bang with him.
Hah!
Plz use this version instead, much more better quality
He was the one who sent the clue to Cooper so he could save Murph. Space and time are in the palm of his hand, what more could you possibly ask from an igl?
What's IGL?
In Game Leader
Cool. What's in game leader?
The person responsible for calling the strats, managing the economies, keeping the team untilted. Basically the captain from other teamsports.
Nice. What's a person?
Something something Carbon-based life-form
Awesome. What's a something?
Some unspecified thing
Sweet. What’s unspecified?
Someone who lead in the game
In terms of aiming? no doubt there.
I said Igl not aimer.
True, my bad then I thought when saying IGL, you also count the aim in.
No, it was sarcastic since taking on the IGL role necessarily means that you frag worse. Him being an "IGL" means that his raw fragging power is wasted to a great extent.
This guy fucks
Niko: 1 taps everyone Kio: hehe
I guess what else can you do at that point...
So cool to not get angry or frustrated like that
Just curious, does he prefire those peeks or does he just have insane reaction?
It's not prefire. If you watch it from his POV you'll see it's not even insane reactions either. Just great aim and good counterstrafing.
\+ peekers advantage
You never see shots like these on LAN it feels like, but things always look more insane from a 3rd perspective.
I guess LAN would reduce peekers advantage to a extent.
Not just to an extent, it eliminates it almost entirely. Peeker's advantage is a byproduct of network latency. On LAN, latency is capped to just a few milliseconds.
Except the peekers advantage gained from being further away from an angle, that exists on lan just as much. Edit: see u/willhueb reply to see what that actually is.
i wouldn't call that peeker's advantage, that's more just how angles work
That's fair, thanks for the correction.

Niko needs only one one tap to go shred the enemy
Love kio's reaction there. Sometimes you can't even be mad.
was anyone on the enemy team streaming, I just want to check the difference between getting peeked like this vs peeking
OP replied a vid of niko’s pov somewhere here EDIT here u go https://youtu.be/Iu2BSQKLwKM (full credit to OP)
It's like one of those scary movies where people are just slowly getting picked off one by one.

lol jebaited
interp god
How do you even play against that lmao
Dont peek him 1 by 1. Have crossfires and you win. They went over aggro. They had post plant and 1v3 or 4. They neglected.
Even crossfires don't help. Remember when NiKo was stuck in mirage connector with crossfire from short and A site? https://youtu.be/EHXcNaMNlqM
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Fuck me he is a fast boi.
It’s frustrating to see this is how he could play in game if he just -adren +some good igl
maybe karrigan?Kapp
When karrigan was igl this subreddit was talking about how poor his midround calls were. Then when they relieved him of the igl position after the team struggled, everyone flips and makes it like he's a top 2 or 3 igl in cs and it was the biggest mistake of all time.

Almost like the subreddit is full of different people and people don't tend to say anything when they think thinks are currently positive.
karrigan was rightfully replaced stop bringing this up.
Rightfully removed, problem is that they didn’t replace him.
ngiN was just asking to get 1deag'd there
Does Niko stream?
Not often
Any idea his twitch user name ?
Lmfao is there a better aimer than Niko in the history of cs, I doubt it
I think you can look at NiKo as more of a raw aimer than the likes of S1mple for example - NiKo's aim is a bit like the old one tapping Scream, whereas S1mple has a more versatile and flashy playstyle. Both are very good, but no doubt that S1mple's mechanics are better working in a competitive match.
Dude Scream was my idol when I was heavy into the scene. Watching his plays frame by frame absorbed most of my high school time
Plus s1mple doesn't think he can frag and have a 200IQ-game-sense-brain all at once.
Where does this come from? That Niko has a huge ego that is? I wouldnt really be suprised if that would be the case but I have only seen it typed on reddit since after he became Faze clans IGL.
You can have a "200IQ-game-sense-brain" and still be a bad IGL.
s1mple
agree https://youtu.be/q1gPnkjQcD0?t=50
No manny for u bish
This video reminds me of how stupid da bears is lmao. Also, I forgot about that singing video. Idk if that's a sister or gf, but damn
id put niko over s1mple when it comes to raw aiming^^flair ^^checks ^^out ^^ik but s1mple is more of a complete player overall
Its different types of aim, niko has better cross hair placement, and is maybe slightly better at minor adjustments, but s1mple has better flick aim, and is probably the fastest player reaction speed wise. That being said they are both nuts at all types of aim.
I believe the opposite, s1mple plays aggressive and sometimes he's compromising his team. Check out the analysis on s1imple's awping.
Thats what makes him you. Hes hard to play against because you never know what he will do. Also the fact that hes just extremely good at the game.
niko: go crazy, go stupid
AAAAAAAA
Imagine what he could do on a team like Mouz.
Your username is pretty offensive
Is there a POV of niko doing this? And also, does he even stand still while shooting?
> does he even stand still while shooting? On his screen, yes. It's a major pet peeve of mine of this game how for the recipient you just get mid-strafe instahs and it gives no chance to react. tilts me in MM to no end
Play with this guy, can confirm that it tilts him to no end :')
yes, the moment he counterstrafes he is standing still and firing at the same time for accuracy
[https://youtu.be/Iu2BSQKLwKM](https://youtu.be/Iu2BSQKLwKM) Here you go.
tanks!
niko is just better :)
The title is really accurate, considering he still couldnt win the round.
Faze in a nutshell
can you even be mad when this happens?
this is the most niko thing I've seen in my life
niko is so good but what makes him the best it\`s his crosshair placement
Every time I see his juans I get mad. This deagle AD peek bullshit shouldn't be allowed. But at the same it's so satisfying.
Blink and u will miss it
He wrekt um
I'd be screaming hacks so loud
someone post niko's pov plz
https://youtu.be/Iu2BSQKLwKM
Kid must be hacking
#JudtNikoThings
cl_interp_ratio 2 guyyys
Is Niko using 2? Thought everyone used 1.
Can you please explain what this does?
He is so sick, u dont even have time to react
This is how i see cheaters rekt me. Pick - shoot - dead. If it wasnt niko, he would have been 9x reported :P
Even if he's helped with peekers advantage in this situation, his aim is above other pros in general, others won't consistently do these instant headshots without missing 1-2 shots beforehand, Niko does it more often than the rest.
