Because of this, these kills look incredibly easy, and make for a very clean round and near perfect couple of kills. With each kill, his crosshair stays planted exactly in the area he expects the next enemy to run out in, even giving himself a lot of space between the corner as he expects the player to swing out wide.

It is often that you see that good “crosshair placement” will be misinterpreted as having good “aim” or vice-versa. Crosshair placement is the art of visualizing where your opponent will be when you peek or will get peeked, allowing you place your crosshair in the most effective position possible, allowing you to make getting your kill as easy as possible without just flicking your mouse all around a bombsite. ![]() But if you aren’t privy to the importance of crosshair placement, or just need a refresher, we’ll define it here. And while this may get repetitive, it truly is one of the most vital individual mechanics one must learn to improve their game.
