How to Beat ANY Surf Map

An advanced guide for CSGO Surf, CS2 Surf, and CS:S Surf, including important CS2 Surf Binds, use of replays.

Any donations are greatly appreciated and keep the channel alive!
My dream is to continue Surf content creation for the next several years, and every dollar will help me do that.

Love the guide. One thing I would add is binding noclip. Floating around the obstacles to see where you are going and more leisurely planning your route can be very helpful.

Tier 5 is actually considered a 'hard' map.. especially for the general audience watching your videos. Ill update this comment but your very first statement on tier 5 was its 'a map that isnt that hard' is really not true for the casual player. Love the video tho. I enjoy blind surfing new maps without saveloc for fun, but this is how you get so much better at difficult things in surf.. saveloc till you get each part down, then go back a save and do it from there and then do it from an even earlier spot in the map. Its the best advice you can give to a beginner or intermediate level surfer. Great vid

One thing I wanna add (and I think you've done that before aswell) is when you are practising a map (works best for linear maps but also staged maps):

you saveloc through it and when you are done, don't just start a run of the map, but go "backwards" in your savelocs, so that you are trying to reach the end from farther and farther away, until you have arrived at the start of the map again. It really speeds up the process instead of failing over and over again from the start

tier 5 is not mid tier sir. I have probs 2000 hours and still struggle with many tier 5s on 66 tick, especially tech. You are v good at the game my friend. Otherwise great vid

This Guide couldn’t have come at a better time!! I was stuck at a technical map yesterday and I said to myself ”I really need to learn savelocking!”… and Ive surfed casual on and off for years. Great stuff! Thank you! Keep up the awesome content Repster!

Love the way you explain exactly what you’re thinking in the moment. Great video

Awesome video, helped a lot!

One thing I'd like to note is for me personally, I prefer to run the map without looking at the replay first until I'm truly lost.

There're multiple instances where the parts I would fail are implanted into my brain better than looking at the replay. Helps with muscle memory for me personally.

I think your method is much better for a lot of people, but for someone with a goldfish memory like me, maybe doing this can help a little bit better since watching replays can be so lost for someone newer cause of advanced skips and the general velocity of the replay

this vids been out for a minute, but i just got back into surf after a long while, coming from tf2 to CSS, now i can saveloc and make my life alot easier, thank you my friend, all the gatekeepers making me upset

as for the turnbinds, i already have 4 different yawspeed binds... more > less

Awesome guide! Would love to see more content of you just learning maps and going through the process

Been surfing for a horrifically long time (inception of KSF) and have always struggled with mastering the very tactile pre-strafe by using turnbinds. I have taught myself how to do them by mouse movement, but find that it's imperfect and I struggle to maximize starting units to set up a good run. All this time surfing and I haven't found the right resource to learn how to change my habit to use binds for my pre-strafe. A detailed tutorial would be very helpful, most people who have tried to teach me don't have real motivation to teach like you do.

Love the content, and I really appreciate your detail.

[YouknowWho]

The way you explain everything is so good! Every little detail. Nice work

In case anyone is wondering, saveloc = save location, even though it's pronounced like 'savelock'

[didlo]

ty sm long time csgo surfer just came back to cs2 realized surf is like dead moved to css and and felt like a complete noob this'll help a lot

[BibsR]

Top tier surf content as always. Would have loved to see the full process uncut raw video. Btw just realized yt might have unsubbed me from your channel. Might be good to put a reminder for viewers to check if they got unsubbed. Keep doing your thing brother!

[mojo]

That was awesome ! It seems that your need to have a server with special mods to make it work (I mean, you cannot run it locally in offline and have those special commands).
I wonder how you would do this specifically for a surf setup.

[mercurydrive]

as someone who almost never uses savelocs and spends an hour per map to beat t3s, I'm gonna use these tips immediately

[brianipmh]

gonna have to hit you up on that coaching some time

[jakesdead]

Repster, when do you think we will be getting turnbinds for cs2? I know theres the built in +turnleft +turnright but the speeds for those are way too high.

[troywingert]

Lol you were definitely editing on that fun run. Did not pass first 5 levels first try on that

[zatarya]
