Shadowing Practice: kyousuke's MAJOR-WINNING Settings & Gear REVEALED - The Setup - Learn English Speaking with Video

I'm disabling controller.

Okay, why is that?

I've never seen it.

I don't know, I'm just doing this for a team.

Manager Tilt.

This is my mouthpiece.

It's QCK Heavy.

Okay, QCK Heavy.

- Bye.

Pretty thick one as well.

Yeah, I like thickness.

This is my keyboard.

G Pro, just blue click switches.

I like the way you click the switches, you just can feel it.

Okay.

That's why I'm playing like...

This is my...

This is...

HyperX V2.

Do you use in -ears for lens, obviously?

What do you use?

- Watch this.

If you have them here, it'll be great.

Oh, nice.

I don't know, it's a gift from Niko.

Niko gave me a clone.

- Nick has a beer.

- He's in the rain.

I use it.

Okay.

I will not plug it.

No, no, you don't need to plug this one.

We're in.

What about the mouse?

You have a beautiful pink one.

Superlight.

Yeah.

Have you tried the new one?

Superstrike?

No, I didn't.

You didn't try?

No. Alright.

I'm always going below. About the seating position?

Yeah.

We are on max position.

I'm playing on 71, 71 .5 cm usually height of table.

Yeah.

By the way, you just plugged everything in from the backpack.

Do you use any protective cases or you have some extra stuff when you're traveling to the land?

So for example, I saw that some people like to smash their mice and it breaks.

Do you have something extra, you know, when something like that happens?

I don't think so.

No?

No, I don't.

Also, you don't put it in like protective case like...

I usually put my mouse in the box.

That's it.

That's the most precious.

Because my manager told me like I need to take care of my skates on the mouse.

So I usually just put it in the box.

Thumbs up to the manager.

Good job.

Good job on that.

Okay.

And about the monitor position.

I'm just checking that.

My mouth is a bit, you know.

So it's laying, overhanging.

Yes, yes, yes.

Just a bit.

Is this because you...

I'm touching, you know, with my hand.

So you don't touch the edge of the table, yeah?

Yes, yes, yes.

So it doesn't scratch you or anything like that.

Yeah, yeah.

Okay, what about the monitor?

Monitor I'm just putting a bit, a bit.

You know you need to leave a gap for a monitor and ask them how to explain it.

Yeah, it makes sense.

And are you, when you're putting it like higher or down, this is comfortable for you?

Oh, okay. So it's...

I'm just doing like this, usually.

You don't have any in here.

I don't check.

Maybe Rob does, but...

If you're happy with this, it's 8 .5, by the way.

So we remember it from now.

It's randomly because we have a different height of the table as well.

I'm just checking Diak and just sit because I'm just...

When I'm going online, I'm just taking the monitor's antics of other players who are sitting before me.

Really?

Yeah, I'm just like, you know, checking is it good or no. Like for example Serato had very good monitor settings

and I took from him and I really liked it.

So we need to ask Serato what you're basically liking.

So the only thing that you're checking is the Diak and do you want to have it on premium or?

I usually have it premium.

Yeah?

100

Premium?

101

Okay.

102

After I'm going to manage 3D settings I'm just clicking restore.

103

You don't change anything there after restore?

104

I don't change anything.

105

Okay.

106

I just put here performance.

107

Performance, yeah.

108

Bye.

109

Change resolution, default resolution.

110

500 GHz I play.

111

You play 500?

112

Okay.

113

Yeah, my manager always told me I need to play 500.

114

So I just need to do it.

115

Alright.

116

This is like your manager is commanding a lot of the stuff.

117

Okay, full screen.

118

Full screen.

119

GPU.

120

Override, we put this check mark.

121

We are done with NVIDIA.

122

Okay.

123

You don't adjust colors or anything like that?

124

No, I don't do anything.

125

Okay.

126

controller.

127

Okay, why is that?

128

I've never seen it.

129

I don't know, I'm just doing this for a team.

130

The manager told you.

131

No, actually when he saw I'm doing this, he said, okay, okay, you know what you're doing.

132

Yeah.

133

After I'm going to disable overlay because I don't use it.

134

Makes sense.

135

You have no launch properties or anything?

136

No, I don't have anything.

137

I'm just disabling overlay because I can just miss buttons and do it randomly accidentally.

138

Okay, so we go in game settings, so video.

139

You just set the full screen, right?

140

No, I didn't because if you do it, you will lock it. So for presets?

141

I'm just an ATX.

142

I don't use global shadow reality because if you input low you will see everything.

143

Okay.

144

Model texture detail low as well, texture quicker.

145

Duality.

146

Okay.

147

Disabled has quality.

148

And this is how you have it?

149

Yeah.

150

I also put 500 FPS max.

151

So you match it with the hertz of the monitor?

152

Yes.

153

I'm usually switching sometimes 500 to 600, but now I'm taking 500.

154

Really?

155

Interesting.

156

A lot of players are starting to enable it now.

157

I just played Disabled since CS2 came out, so I didn't change it.

158

And I like the way the game works for me.

159

Yeah, it looks like a maximum playtime.

160

After I'm going to fullscreen and it's 1280 by 960 is your resolution.

161

- Grenade binds?

162

- Yeah.

163

- "/C", "smoke", "mouse 3".

164

- "Mouse 3" is the mouse button?

165

- "Mouse 3" is...

166

- "Scroll" when you press it.

167

I'm putting...

168

I show built -in for 0.

169

It's just removing your text from the left corner.

170

You're annoyed by that a little bit?

171

Yeah.

172

I don't know how players play with it.

173

Kelo animated our card 0.

174

So they don't move, they don't distract you?

175

Yeah, because I have a test in the team who has like...

176

...spinning toilet.

177

Yeah, I saw that on Faceit as well.

178

It tilts me.

179

What about sensitivity and stuff like that?

180

Do you do that in the game or you're already...

181

I put 128.

182

By the way, in control panel, you didn't change anything at all.

183

No mouse, no changes in volume.

184

No. What about the drivers?

185

No drivers?

186

You're just plug and play kind of guy?

187

It's the way I'm playing in LAN usually.

188

I'm not changing anything.

189

Mouse sensitivity is usually different, you know?

190

Because it's very easy.

191

What about mouse hertz then?

192

Mouse hertz is 1000.

193

1000 as well?

194

Okay.

195

I'm reviewing meal hop.

196

It's just switching your guns.

197

Yes.

198

Damage prediction, do you use it online?

199

Yeah, I use always the other one.

200

I said to Nikko, he was not using it when I joined the team.

201

I said to him, he said it's very nice and he started using it alone.

202

Okay, so online you'd use predictive ragdolls, but everything else is on node.

203

Yeah, yeah.

204

In home I don't use it because I have like 40 pink and just...

205

When you shoot a headshot, you had some...

206

You had bug like when head spinning around when you hit it.

207

Yes.

208

Crosshair I usually just copy from other player, so I don't set up it here.

209

Who's your favorite player to copy from?

210

I don't know.

211

We are playing against mouse, so some of the mouse, but not searching.

212

He has some weird crosshair.

213

So you don't have lineups of grenades for specifically crosshair?

214

Like you don't need anything like that?

215

No, no, no. I'm usually not throwing my new utility, so...

216

Okay.

217

We're going to radar.

218

Yes.

219

We put this one at 25.

220

It's a kill.

221

It's just, you have, for example, when you're going door on nuke, and there is smoke, you just know where you are because you are looking to radar.

222

A lot of players are using this, especially if you're getting stuck in the smoke.

223

Yeah, stuck in the smoke and you can see where.. is there a player or no. Yeah, yeah, makes sense.

224

It's like free information that you're using thanks to the buy.

225

Okay.

226

Do you for audio, do you have some kind of a preference when it comes to...

227

No. No. You just everything is on default?

228

Yes, yes, yes.

229

Do you use default...

230

Sorry, natural?

231

Yeah.

232

I don't know, I didn't change it.

233

Never.

234

You tried?

235

No, I haven't tried it.

236

I haven't tried it.

237

Okay.

238

Actually we put the VR model.

239

Preset was 2?

240

Yeah.

241

Okay.

242

This is the default VR model that everyone uses.

243

So I use it as well.

244

When you jump into let's say aimbots or any workshop map that you prefer before the tournament,

245

obviously you don't have access to the internet on the stage.

246

So how do you warm up?

247

I'm usually going to aimbots and shoot like 500 bots.

248

500 bots?

249

5 to 1000.

250

So it's fine for me.

251

In the past I was shooting like more than a thousand and it didn't help me.

252

So I'm just shooting 500 or 1000.

253

It's fine for me.

254

That's what Manijer said.

255

And another thing is that when you warm up, do you listen to some music?

256

Like this is very important for a lot of players.

257

It depends on the tournament because sometimes I don't bring my AirPods and I don't know, forgot it.

258

And some organizations like PGL, ESL, they have Spotify in their PCs.

259

Yes.

260

You can submit your playlist before the event, right?

261

Yeah.

262

And some of them don't have it.

263

So it depends on the organization of the tournament.

264

Okay, that makes perfect sense.

265

You said, it's cringe to talk about the crosshair, right?

266

And I completely get it.

267

So you're just the guy that is kind of like vibing it out.

268

And you're copying, like, you see Nico having a good crosshair?

269

I copy Nico's hair, it's very good actually.

270

He had like, I can tell you, size one, cap minus four, I think, and thickness one point and half.

271

What about the color?

272

Is it light blue?

273

It was green, but it's like green mixed blue, I think.

274

He used that in CS :GO as well.

275

Yeah, but he's insane with his crosshair.

276

What about left hand and right hand?

277

Do you switch that?

278

No, no. Never?

279

Never.

280

So sometimes you're just not seeing enemy because of your gun model?

281

No, actually I don't think it's happened to me.

282

It didn't happen?

283

I don't remember, I was still thinking about this.

284

Okay.

285

We spoke about you don't like animated avatars.

286

Yeah.

287

But do you have, because some players are playing with just numbers up top, you want to see the avatars at all times, right?

288

No, I'm fine to see avatars.

289

I don't know.

290

I just don't like it when it's like animated out or so, it's like distracting me.

291

Yeah, because when you have numbers, you don't see HP of the teammates, you know, like underneath.

292

So it bothers some people that they are unable to tell, "Oh, my teammate is low HP, so I can adjust it." Have you ever thought about it?

293

No. No?

294

No. Because if you put avatars you see like little like thing.

295

Yeah.

296

Yeah.

297

Yeah.

298

I don't know.

299

Alright.

300

One last thing I'm gonna ask you.

301

Best tips you received or best tip you gave to someone about land.

302

Because obviously you're playing in a tournament where I mean in a team where you have Nico and you have experienced guys.

303

Have they ever told you something that Okay, I will start using it from now on.

304

Obviously your manager did a lot of poking, but other than that, some players.

305

What did they give you?

306

Actually, I don't remember any tips.

307

Like in G1, I think, is one of the most important if like self -confidence.

308

Because when I really cheering, you just need to do what you believe in.

309

So I think confidence is the most important thing.

310

Mm -hmm.

311

You can do even like stupid stuff, but it will work because you believe in.

312

That's the beauty of Counter -Strike, right?

313

Yeah.

314

Yeah.

315

If you do it together, if you do it with confidence, it will work.

316

Yeah.

317

Well, Maxim, good luck at the tournament.

318

Thank you for guiding us through your setup and how you have everything.

319

I think it's extremely valuable.

320

A lot of players are copying setup.

321

What's your thought on that?

322

If you have a lot of fans, obviously.

323

Do you think your fans should copy your setup to play like you?

324

I think as you start playing CS, they should copy settings and just to see, are they comfortable on this sensitivity or not.

325

They can just check and just the field.

326

They can copy settings from Pro if they only start the game.

327

Perfect.

328

Words to live.

329

I thank you for this.

330

Thank you.

331

And I will see you.

332

See you.

Fix Your Weak Spots: Pronunciation & Rhythm Tips

The dialogue’s relaxed pace makes it easy to focus on connected speech—how words link together in casual talk. Notice how “I don’t know” becomes “I dunno” and “What do you use?” flows as “Whaddaya use?” These small changes make speech sound more natural. Practice shadowing the video to master this rhythm—use a shadowing site to slow down the audio if needed. Pay attention to the rising intonation in questions like “Okay?” and “Yeah?” which shows curiosity. For english speaking practice, record yourself and compare it to the original—you’ll quickly spot areas to improve. Whether you’re prepping for IELTS or just want to sound more like a native, this clip is a goldmine for refining your speaking skills.

Ready to level up? Try shadowing the conversation daily—tools like shadowspeaks or shadow speech resources can help you track progress. The more you mimic the tone and flow, the more confident your English will feel.

Grammar in this video

The structures the speaker uses most, with the exact words from the video:

Structure	In the video
Conditional sentences if + clause, will/would + verb — a condition and its result	If you have them here, it'll be · if you do it, you will lock · if you input low you will see
Present perfect have/has + past participle — a past action that still matters now	I've never seen · haven't tried · have experienced
Past continuous was/were + -ing — an action in progress at a moment in the past	was not using · was shooting · was still thinking
Superlatives the -est / the most … — the top or bottom of a group	the most precious · the most important

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
