So what do you guys think? Will Draken find his way back to top tier CSGO? And if so, which team can you see him being picked-up by?

He's so used to flicking that when his placement is precise he just flick his shot away from the enemy

I feel like his play style could fit streaming pretty well. He’s got lots of flashy shots for highlights/montages and has bad shots that could make for good jokes/entertainment.

He doesnt whiff, he just gets CSGO'd more than anyone

if the 30 degree window is so bad, just aim 30 degrees away from the angle you want to hold, boom problem solved, sign me as a coach

Honestly a lot of those shots looked right on the money

Draken comes together with his girlfriend after a long break. He welcomes, stands in front of her and grab her hands. GF: Did you miss me? Draken: Yes. You are in my 30' window now.

I feel like he's just anticipating movement a lot of the time. Some times he gets CSGOd. And sometimes he moves as he shoots. None of it seems to be because it's not where his attention is.

The problem with draken is that just when he shoots he moves making the shot not hit. You can see it in half the speed.

the karrigan clip never gets old! *NEVER*

“How draken missed olof boost”

My teammates are like draken but they don’t hit the impressive shots.

After studying his shots frame by frame All I found was this reason : He's so used to flicking, that he flicks *away* when he's literally aiming at his opponent Solution? Practice not to flick

from "how he flicked that guy" to "how he missed this"...

Phew, allu you’re safe for now

"the girls call me big Sweden"

Ok so I think I may have cracked the code.... seeing that “Due to him wanting to see everything in his POV rather than who’s infront of him” all he has to do is move sideways in a way that is at a 31 degree angle!

I feel bad for draken, he's actually extremely talented. It's sad not to see him on a top tier team

Says everyone misses their shots time to time. Me: Uhh yes...

Reasons he whiffs: gets csgo’d, moves while shooting, flicks away when he’s about to shoot

Bruh imagine getting a PhD just to study gamers' brains.

Draken is the type of player to miss a clear shot from window but win a 1v3 with AWP and low health T side.

I remember seeing a game a few months ago of GL where in Inferno and Overpass he pulled clutches after clutches .. man, that game was second or third tier BUT what I saw in that game was an awper that would make even s1mple in best form sweat bullets.

Story of my life right here: make rare, exciting plays every now and then and whiff easy shots/sprays.

1:04 Did he just get CS:GO'd?

the Hedgehog feels this pain

It's just like how you will sometimes scope out by accident without shooting. In his case he starts to move his character before he shoots which decreases the accuracy of the shot. You can see it when he shoots, he starts to walk right as or before he takes the shot. He is doing is best to not be a sitting duck as a sniper, but sometimes doesn't keep the patience or maybe practice the coordination to wait for the shot before moving.

"Hey, sometimes your opponent is just having a really good day."

1:05 what the hell was that? I don't think it was his fault, he just got csgo'd

12:09 How long the writer for this video has been waiting to wrote this? Lmao🤣

"Hey sometimes your enemy is just having a really good day"

"WHAT IN GOD'S NAME IS THAT FROM DRAKEN? FORGET ABOUT SNAX" lmao

He feeds off confidence. When he loses it he loses his aim. If he finds his slot again he will slap kids all day long. But if that doesn't happen. Uh oh.

forget draken's hair madison's hair is amazing

remember that clip when moe was in pit and steel was spectating him, and moe missed like 10 shots on a guy that was on a side dust2.

I thought I was the only one who missed like this. For nearly 20 years now i miss shots as people peak in my front off me but in my peripheral I get perfect flicks every time. The science behind it could be extreamly interesting to learn about

0:42 most iconic whiff reaction

Man has a gorgeous smile !!.. Hope he overcomes his problem

It's like a baseball catcher having the yips where they can't throw the ball to the pitcher when they have time to think, but the can throw it to second during a steal because they don't have to think.

Something similar happened to me. Whenever I choked in a situation I became known for with my friends, even when they weren't there, it put more pressure to not do it. You can see with the one on overpass when he misses his first shot he knows that's what everyone is gonna talk about and concentrate on so in his head it doesn't matter, he already lost and he kinda gives up a little

Draken is like a math professor who knows a lot of complicated problems but dosent know 2+2 lol

He represents every silver player. He's good on some days then others he de-ranks

I can relate to this bs, people call me a hacker for hitting sick flicks, wallbangs, and through smoke kills yet I somehow miss every easy shots. It's the flick muscle memory that fucks you up

"yea uh, girls call me big sweden" LMAO I DIED

I love how it’s called “irrational aim” when half of these are just the game being shitty and not rendering his shots hitting

Simple answer: he’s conditioned himself to flick , in turn he flicks when not needed. Aka muscle memory. Aka bad habits.

"Market cornered on nice hair ... groom his crosshair" .... man, you savage with the pun :(((

My theory (not that it has any more validity then anyone else’s) is that Draken has 2 big things he needs to work on to hit more shots 1. This is the biggest one. He needs to work on his strafe timing. A lot of those whiffs would’ve been hits if he wasn’t still moving when he fired. It’s actually quite a common problem midlevel awpers face. It’s just a lot less common with the best awper’s in the game since it’s normally a skill they were forced to hone a long time ago. Midlevel awper have often trained their reaction time enough that it is no faster than the average strafe. This forces the awper to have to adjust their whole way of playing to accommodate their movement. 2. Trigger discipline. Just because there is an enemy on your screen doesn’t mean you have to kill that enemy as quickly as possible. Many of those shots were shots where he had the upper hand and could’ve easily taken the time to line up his shots, but because he just tries to flick it so fast he gambled on a shot he could’ve had for free if he waited

Man i love draken, hes such a character! I hope he gets revenge for all of the drama

Draken needs to work on his counter-strafe that is it :)

I do the exact same thing with games because I flick a lot abd sometimes miss the easy shots but hit the impossible ones.

I mean the two experts pretty much summed up what a lot of us players already knew. That there are way too many angles to focus on and some players focus on the peripheral more as they are naturally more paranoid of their exposed flanks. So when an enemy comes up infront of them they tend to take a bit longer to react and are less accurate when shooting. KennyS had the same problem back around 2015 when he went like 3-23 in the finals of one of the majors. His poor performance was a major factor in them losing.

10:20 I honestly think he just got CS:GO'd

Slow it down to .25 speed and you will see that his cross hair is spot on for most if his missed shots... I dont understand how they're missing

Me moving in cs go: bullets may even hit behind me from the inaccuracy. Enemy running jumping from A doors into pit with an ak: 1 taps me..

I myself am a worse version if him. Whenever I play snipers I miss shots on people walking in straight lines, but the soldier flying at a guy halfway across the map I can hit the headshot on. Much less consistently, but it's notable.

Am i the only one wondering why the awp sounds so much cooler in these clips?

This guy is literally me in any game that involves aiming.

Draken tends to move right before he shoots, making the shots inaccurate (as if hes still stuck in the pre-nerf AWP days). He also seems to quick switch (QQ) every single time he shoots, which can be a bad habit and maybe his body is too focused on being ready to QQ rather than hitting the shot. Both things he can improve on, but only if he himself notices it.

I've experienced the same problem. When every shot is an attempted flick, you get to be nutty in difficult situations, but it also turns easy shots into nightmares.

Its weird that most AWP players have this disorder.

His muscle memory forces him to move while shooting

The incredible awper cursed to miss csgos easiest shots. Wow I’m flattered you’ve made a video about me

It like your anxiety goes Maximum and your shaking when there is a guy in front of you that didn't know you are behind him and all you have is a sniper

3 days before this video came out: *GamerLegion Disband*

1:05 wheres the bullet even go? He didn't start moving untill well after. csgo'd

Like it’s said towards the end, honesty is the best way to get better at a game. Being a halo player, I have to isolate things I’m bad at sand focus on those things individually. I like this dudes story because I hit nasty stuff sometimes but I just have times where I miss critical shots. I’m still trying to fix that problem to this day. Though it might be because of pressure. I could see Drakan being on a better team and having to think constantly about making them proud. That might get in the way of his game.

The psychological lesson was really awesome. This was more than just a highlight! Great work!

1:05 how did that miss though really lol

Most of these players are just getting csgod, specifically awpers. At . 25 speed most of the awpers had it, there was no wiff.

He could adjust his style to plant sideways against a barrier. It's an athletic thing, happens alot, you strengthen 1 aspect of performance, in his case on the high pressure situations and you lose another great part of your ability. The easy relaxed shots.

I think you guys should make the story of ning. A player that after 2018 was considered god tier in his position, and how he collapsed post msi

His problem is how he holds his angles. Sometimes he holds it too tight and sometimes too wide. He expects his reflexes to react for him and is too focused on whats outside his crosshair. He needs to calm down and take his time to hit his shots. AWPing isn't about flicking in todays game. Make sure to line it up and don't lose your team crucial rounds.

His aim seems to be on point when he's trying to move, as is evident from all of his csgo'd moments when he's dead on and still misses. Ask him to stand still, and try to track and aim, he whiffs. Its just a fatal flaw in his game.

yeah incross trigger with 0ms delay looks just like that and that's what it is probably. Perfectly hitting flicks and missing spot on shots

Throwback to the time a guy cleaned our entire team with a P90 when I was flanking so I clutched the 1v4 with an AWP.

wooow so accurate, just clicked this video didnt care about his aiming skill but my god those hair

saw those missed shots: *omg* almost like a *bot* how can he miss that actual *me* : cant get to *lvl 5* and *le* on cs go

I mean most of the shots are literally right on the money, if you slow down the Inferno one it's pretty much unexplainable. My guy gets CSGO'd more than anyone else

If you watch it at 0.25 speed, you can see that he doesn’t really flick his shots that he misses, he just shoots at the wrong time

Looks like good aim, inconsistent movement. Most of the easy shots he missed were on target aim wise, he just moved too early and increased spread before firing

He’s good just too used to flicking, u can see him flick a little after every shot, that’s his problem Csgo also has poor bullet registration.

Imagine shooting a ball into the goalkeep only for the ball to disappear mid shot.

this is why Dev1ce is so good because he hits pretty much 99% of the easy shots and wins the rounds. Then you have Draken and these other guys who can have a sick round with 3 insane flicks but then the very next round they will whiff a shot and cost the map.

8:44 does anyone know the name of this map?

Im s1mple i see TheScore Upload i click

I have this problem even if im nowhere near his level, my easy solution is always aiming off centre whenever I want to cover an angle, that way you need to flick for every shot solving your "I know only to flick" problem. It looks really funny too and some people will call you a hacker because of it when you're using a crutch tactic to fix your terrible aim for otherwise simple shots.

I think Drakens main problem now is simply the pressure when he sees this kind of a moment coming, the hard shots hehas the confidence, but not for the easy ones (sry 4 my bad english)

The score is the best

then he jumped over to valorant lol. hope he’s thriving

Wow I have this exact problem with AWPing. Those shallow peeks and stuff I always miss because I just instinctively flick to follow the momentum. I feel you bro :(

As sadokist mentioned some 2-3 years ago,his muscle memory is so used to flicks that it became a thing for him which is really unfortunate given he’s got the talent in him.. Swedish awpers bar JW as good as they can be sometimes inconsistent. Tw1st,Draken,maikelele and Nawwk(I know he isn’t the main awper at NiP) all good but times makes questionable misses

That drawing is of a 60 degree window, just saying.

Whats the map that draken is playing on 8:44?

I understand everything. I hold an angle and look away to see if I'm being pushed, someone peaks. CSGO, Valorant, Seige, any comp shooter I play

2:11 Come on man,right in front of the kids bro!? Lmao

Imagine being an awper who can’t hold angles....

1:22 He was perfectly on the enemy if you watch closely. So how did this shot miss?

Basically me hitting every flicks and wallbangs but can't kill easy shots roffll

If I could attempt to put into words as I have this same issue with some games: "Playing Reactively, Not Proactively" Playing off of sheer anticipation, like tunnel vision, but with his periphery.
