Noscoup CS:GO
Yuriy SheremetUnscoped shots often come in handy at close range, when there is no time to aim and the enemy is already in line of sight.
First: distance. Shooting with a noscope even at medium distances is no longer rational. To wield close - that's it.
Second: where without luck. Nousscopes are largely random.
Third and most important: positioning the sight. Yes, when you take a sniper and do not zoom, there is no scope. Although players with experience already understand where the imaginary crosshair is approximately located, it is necessary to focus on it. But wait: the second point tells us that the bullet will still fly randomly. Yes, but in CS:GO each gun has an error when fired. You can find it out using the console command: cl_weapon_debug_show_accuracy 2.
The AWP, which is logical, has the highest error when fired.
Take a look: at close distances, the spread is not very large. And the bullets will still fly closer to the center, and not to the edges. Therefore, it is necessary to feel where the center of the screen is.
A small life hack: when shooting while sitting, the error is much lower.
Fourth: confidence. A miss with the nousscope is likely to be fatal. Therefore, if you are not sure that a shot without a scope is the best solution, it is wiser to switch to a pistol or go into zoom.
Noscopes from S1mple:
The most famous highlight with noscopes is Simple's jump on Cash: he shot the first opponent in a jump, and the second one from a long distance. The moment is so cool that Valve even made graffiti.
But it's not that Simple is lucky. He gets shot like that very often, that's the point. If you follow Simpl's streams, then you know that he trains noscopes. He enters the server and tries to shoot without a scope at some points, including jumping, and looks where the bullet flies. He figured out something in the nousscopes that others don't know."
Does Simple train nousscopes? Of course he's a sniper. How does he train? Most likely, he enters the map with bots and just shoots them, being at an average distance. But the NAVI sniper devotes more time to flickshots. This is logical: in the match, this skill is used much more often.
Does Simple know something about noscopes that others don't? Perhaps Thorin exaggerated. All snipers practice unscoped shots in one way or another. This is the kind of nosescope that Monesi has flown in - this does not mean that he knows something special about them. He's just training them.
Nousscopes are random. But not one hundred percent. They can and should be trained: this way there will be more chances for a frag in the game, and you won’t have to rely only on luck.
