Pubs are definitely good practise for getting the muscle memory.
Obviously 6s is good 6s practise, but the issue is you get the opportunity to go for shots and angles way less.

Practising in 6s (scrims) to me is more about thinking if sniping right then is the right decision/if the way I position is correct. The right opportunities will come up more as you learn to make the right calls. I basically ask myself "should I snipe right now or a different offclass/scout?" every time I want to switch to it. Sometimes I decide to do it anyway against my judgement and it stills works out. So it's more about learning than kicking yourself when it doesn't go right. Also in pugs/mixes nothing matters so snipe your heart out lmao

Aim trainers aren't as good as people claim, but they're better than nothing if pubs aren't your thing. Avoid if you have better options (aka most options)

HL isn't as good as pubs imo (if your intention is to get better at 6s) because you're always thinking about spies, getting spammed w detonator, perma counter sniping, etc. In pubs, like 6s, you don't have to think about these things as much (because the players are worse. not because they're not there) and you can just chill and find out which angles work, but without the pressure of having to actually hit the shot

I do not. Maybe vouri knows. Though idk if this effect is an accidental thing or them purposefully deleting something

that could actually make sense. if you look at the demo 14 seconds into the video you can see a big missing texture on the overhealed demo. I might've confused it with the pack that has the big green overheal cross?

You'd need to find and delete those particular texture(s) from your game files, but it's possible you can get this effect too. Not sure if sv_pure cares about that

I recognize that explosion from a custom particle pack. iirc it won't work on sv_pure 2, but it looks fancy when recording demos offline. All of the explosions in that pack have a purple hue to them

I sadly don't know where to find the link (though it wouldn't be useful to you if you want to use it in regular play). But there's a couple of people on tftv that still use it for demo recording

I'm posting this because I was curious what halloween_rockettrail would look like. Sadly the particle has no end of lifespan when used as an explosion
