This was a good read from PC GAMER with some good tips. The second tip is a must.

Yeah, was good for a quick read

pretty much the best advise a pro can give people who have no idea, but i dont think its as easy as some pros put it, getting in a to a scene regardless of how good you are can be tough, hence why a lot of people tend to specialise in just one particular game.

also, you really have to blow people out of the water in a small community like australia to make it to a top 5 tier team, due to everyone knowing each other and being close friends.

i guess the best advise is, if you really enjoy it, regardless of where you are now and you want to be the best in australia one day, you have to sacrifice and dedicate your brain/body to it and it won't happen overnight, sometimes it takes a year to understand everything, then you need a team, a lot of it can come down to luck/circumstance.

for example, i could have played internationally for cod, for cs 1.6 and for css, but due to life/random events, they've all been cancelled/rejected/missed. one thing i have to say is, think about what you could look back on in a few years, if you get a chance that will be memorable, take it, don't reject it due to loyalty or achieving minor goals in the short term

also it's easy to leave room for work or personal lives/girlfriends contrary to what some people think

I've only been playing for about 3 weeks, but from just watching what "better" players do, i've noticed an increase in my KDR.

but in saying that, its better to develop my own play style instead of mimicing what other players do

rofl, clans a bit egotistical having that in banner.

My thoughts exactly. You also have to be willing to travel, being in Perth is a little more difficult.

i could have been a unicorn, but due to life/random events, they've all been cancelled/rejected/missed.

did someone actually say, gav, we want you to be a unicorn then a week later choose someone else because u said no?

you should come back to cod Iain, dobbie misses you.

hes too busy being a ****** tony
