Awp skillz

[clickityclack]

So I've been getting kind of good at awp lately, but I've been wondering what some real pros thought. I've got a pretty good flickshot, but when you jump before shooting, should you crouch? I normally always crouch, but would it take less time to just land, shoot and move? Or when its just you and someone else should you bother with crouching, or just keep moving?

dsr stfu, you buy the awp when its 3 on 3.

I basically never crouch w/ the awp. The accuracy bonus you get from crouching is not worth the time it takes to crouch. Its also the the 2nd?? heaviest weapon so in terms of mobility you need all you can get and when you crouch it often takes way too long to get back up then get to cover or pull out a Deagle.

There's almost never a need to crouch with AWP. It takes time and reduces your movement speed. It just makes you vulnerable. And there is no accuracy bonus. Standing still the AWP has perfect accuracy at any range.

And on another note, flickshots are the way to go with the AWP. I'd recommend turning off mouse acceleration so you can get it perfect almost every time. This allows your wrist movement to be the same for every shot. It takes some getting used to, but it's by far the best way to improve your AWPing.

Look up Sp00n's (from Team Audacious) frag video for a good look at some amazing and consistent flickshotting AWP action .

or as it has happened to me many times you crouch right into a headshot from someone aiming at your body.
