===== General Tips =====
  - Check every corner.
  - Take Cover! Hide from multiple positions at once.
  - Sneak instead of duck! Peek around corners running.
  - Stay with your team and at the site (no "overcommit").
  - Be farther from the corner than the enemy, you'll see him earlier.
  - Practice your aim in Deathmatch or on practice maps with bots.
  - The silencer has to stay on the gun!
  - Place your crosshair on head level, not on the ground. Aim at the enemy, not on a wall.
  - Stop when shooting.
  - Throw your nades. Only buy what you use.

===== Deranking =====

[[https://downrank.net/|DownRank.net]] / [[steam://friends/joinchat/103582791435385270|Derankers Group Chat]]

==== Rules ====

  - only derank in a group with five people
    * deranking with randoms is morally reprehensible.
    * If you don't find a 5th after ~10min, at least kick the last one. You get a cooldown if you kick a lot of people.
  - ''mm_dedicated_search_maxping 150'' to broaden the search for matches
  - don't tell them you are deranking
    * especially MG ranks and higher will report you for griefing
    * don't jokingly tell them to report you either!
  - win 1-5 rounds, not more
    * you will lose the maximum points if you are "bad" but still able to win 2-3 rounds.
  - have fun while deranking!
    * __do not__ shit on your teammates for winning more than 3 rounds
  - if you go afk, type ''+forward'' in console so you don't get kicked.
    * __do not__ type ''+left'' or similar, it makes viewers get sick
