When Is a Counter-Strike Player Good?
I participated in a Counter-Strike tournament with a few coworkers during April. Not that I’m particularly good at the game11 I only played very casually back in the 1.6 days, peaked at the dmg rank in cs:go and 14,000 in cs2. This puts me somewhere near the 50th percentile worldwide, i.e. as average as they come. but I was the least bad fifth player they could scrape together. Although my coworkers are better players than I am, we ended up being one of the worst teams in the tournament. However! We did improve a lot from the start to the end, and that’s the more important thing in my book.
One of the things we used to help us improve was the Leetify website. The reason is they have a 2D match viewer, where we could upload our games and look at how we played and spot mistakes as well as things that worked well.
They also have something they call the Leetify rating, which attempts to capture how good a player is. This is difficult buisness, so it’s time for a quick diversion into what Counter-Strike is.
