Counter Strike: Global Offensive, the quintessential shooter by Valve, continues to lead in popularity and has a community that supports it on Steam. Numerous users even go so far as to hone their talents to the point of becoming professional players, something that is achieved with years of practice and dedication... or using tape on your monitor to aim without relying on the weapon's sight.
That's right, a trend among some CS:GO players is to resort to various objects, which you can find in the comfort of your home, to gain an advantage over the competition. Using weapons and executing your targets with "no scope" seems to be the goal of these players who have perfected various techniques to achieve this objective. Below we show you several videos where this is put to the test.

The crazy "assisted sights" of Counter Strike players
TikTok has become the place to see many examples of this trend among CS:GO players. In this short video application, the account "csgogoezhack" stands out, which has now become a reference for this type of "life hacks" that have made certain players' lives easier.
In this first video, we see a quite logical solution to shoot a precise "no scope" with the AWP. Simply drawing your own crosshair with a marker, which we hope is water-soluble, on the monitor will be enough to have a pro player's K/D ratio.
In this next case, things get more... unusual. The author of this video took a very particular approach to replace the reticle with the freest part of a plastic apparatus intended for dental floss.
However, the one who takes the crown by far is the next video. Here we see how the crosshair can be replaced with a slice of lemon, and the change is for the better, even though it is not yet time to see citrus fruits in professional CS:GO competitions.
While this is fun and has made us laugh at the precision that can be achieved, we do not recommend trying to replicate the techniques seen in the videos. Especially considering that some of these methods could permanently compromise the integrity of the monitor we use.
