Mastering the Art of Surfing CS:GO Servers

Surfing in CS:GO is a deceptively simple concept: players must gracefully navigate mazes by sliding across surfaces, deftly controlling their movements in mid-air and on slopes. Armed with just a mouse and two keys — 'A' for leftward movement and 'D' for rightward – the challenge lies in harnessing Momentum and precision.

Executing Successful Slides

Achieving seamless slides hinges on a fundamental principle: direct your character against the wall adjacent to the slope when on a slope. If the slope lies on your right, press 'D'; if on your left, press 'A'. This keystroke action propels your journey forward.

Balancing with Precision

Balancing the glide necessitates careful crosshair alignment. Ensure your crosshair aligns with your desired surf direction. Misalignment can cost you Momentum or cause you to tumble.
