Taking a break in CS to watch demos only

How does, say, taking a whole summer break of watching demos effect you in CS? =P



Seeing as I'll be gone pretty much the whole summer and won't be able to play CS, I thought it'd be interesting to watch demos of a couple of players (3-4) the WHOLE entire summer LOL



Would it actually hurt me or help? About average of 1-2 demos per day would be good.

Both. You'll learn new spots, spams, probably be able to make better in-game decisions... but your aim, reaction time, etc will be thrown way off.

watching demos can refine your game...but your going to actually have to play to get better

You will learn as much your ready to learn.



Pen and paper and your good to go.

pretty much what henchman said.



and try to have a notepad with you, since you won't be able to apply them in-game right away. i tend to forget a lot of things i see in demos unless i have a notepad or i use them in-game a few times right after.

you have to implement each thing you learn as you go. you cant just learn it all then expect to be amazing. you have to take a concept and practice it a lot then move onto the next one. i promise you will not be great if you take that long of a break just to learn. doesn't work that way. it works like building blocks.



hope that helps.

Ohh okay, I see. Thanks for the replies guys, and also as for pali, it's just that I CAN'T play for that long anyway, so I might as well just watch demos and try to learn a couple of things here and there.



Thanks to everyone though :)
