How to watch demos from facit ks go

Welcome to Lis-Skins.com. Today we'll figure out how to watch demos from Facit CS:GO. But first, let's understand what this thing is in general.

FACEIT — gaming platform that allows CS:GO players to get away from the classic Valve ranking. Here is a proprietary scoring system that allows you to more accurately determine the extent of your skill. 

Thanks to FACEIT you can:

• Play in competitive mode in 5x5 format;

• participate in various 1x1, 2x2, 5x5 tournaments;

• Raise your skill and level of play to qualify for future leagues such as FPL and FPL Challenger;

• earn special FACEIT points, which can be used to buy skins for weapons and operatives in a special store.

The FACEIT platform is completely free, but there are a few mandatory steps to get here:

• go to the official website of the platform;

• register using the link in the upper right corner of the page;

• fill in the necessary data, including nickname, full name, date of birth;

• choose, of course, CS GO as the main game;

• connect a Steam account, from which all necessary game data will be parsed;

• download and install FACEIT-antichit, otherwise nothing will work.

With the preliminary preparations are over — you can go to the heart of the matter.

Why do you need demos in CS:GO

To assess the skills of a cyber athlete, just loud words and statements

are

not enough. High-minded speeches need to be backed up with visuals, and we're not talking about screenshots that mean nothing. Every professional or semi-professional club has at least one analyst who analyzes game replays in detail, looking for mistakes, inaccuracies and various solutions to situations.

Watching replays allows you to do many things:

1. Analyze your own mistakes. For example, you are repeatedly shocked in the same place on the map, or «ingenious» point of penetration turns out to be maximally disadvantageous. You won't be able to see it from the first person, but you should switch to the enemy's camera, and the picture will immediately change dramatically. 

2. Study the strategies of opponents from the enemy team. You can take a detailed look at timings, shot points, cohesion, movement trajectory, positions, formations and more.

3. Learn about new spreads for offense and defense. Extremely useful in those cases when from «out of nowhere» comes smok or molotov, and you stand all beautiful and burning in every sense. 

4. Identify cheaters. In the demo, you can perfectly see how the first-person player's weapon moves. Was it firing through walls, or with a suspicious reproach, did he turn away from the smoke screen beforehand, did he fire into the void, and so on.

All that remains is to figure out how to pull it all off. That's what you came here for.

How to download and watch any demo from FACEIT

So, you want to carefully study someone's replay to analyze the game, skills, features of the player and other technical aspects. To do this, go to the site FACEIT, but do not forget to pre-register and log in to the platform, otherwise it will not let you in.

After that in the search box enter the nickname of the gamer you are interested in. For convenience and clarity, let's take the long-suffering Sanya S1mple.

.

Go to «stats» and scroll down until you come across the list of uploaded replays.

Click on any replay with the left button and you will be redirected to a new tab. In it you should go to «Overview» and then click «Watch demo».

.

The system will automatically offer to download the archive with the content of the replay. Save it to any folder on your PC, at least on your desktop. Note that the average weight of a full-fledged demo can reach 70-100 MB, so free up extra space if you don't have any.

After that, open the CS GO client and press Shift+F2 to open the internal player.

When trying to find the demo nothing will happen for obvious reasons — it is archived in *.GZ format. Unpack it with any archiver like Winrar or 7z. After that everything should work.

In the player you can rewind to the right moment, analyze the situation, accelerate gameplay up to x10 and stop rolling at any point, studying in detail the balance of power of the opponent. Basically, it's not hard to figure out.

It's not hard to figure out.

If you want to see only gameplay without auxiliary inscriptions, nicknames and other HUD elements, just open the developer console (~) and write the following command:

cl_draw_only_deathnotices 1

.

That's basically it.

 

How to record your own demo in the game

If you want to demonstrate

your

skills on the camera, you do not need to additionally install various software, buy a capture card and do other complex manipulations. It is enough to go to any server (preferably on the official one), and then at the beginning of the battle open the console and write the following command:

record name_demo (

the name

of

the

clip in Latin)

By this name it will be easier to search for your own demo record among the replays. Just don't use spaces.

The game will store all this mess in the Replays folder in the following path:

Disk:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\csgo\replays

The folder is created automatically as soon as you have recorded at least one demo. If it doesn't happen — then you've done something wrong.

We hope our tips will help you get a better look at certain players, or even entire teams. It is also recommended to study your own style of play in order to find mistakes, inaccuracies, illiterate movement on the map and lack of coordinated actions with your teammates. The sooner you realize this, the sooner you will reach level 10 on FACEIT and the maximum rank in CS GO itself.

Good luck, fighter.
