Hot take: most FPS players obsess over crosshair placement and aim trainers, but the single biggest factor in whether you hit your shots is the server you're playing on.

Here's the thing — on a standard 64-tick server, you're getting position updates every 15.6ms. On 128-tick, that drops to 7.8ms. That's the difference between your headshot registering and getting traded because the server hadn't caught up yet.

I've been running premium FPS servers for a while now, and the feedback is always the same: "I didn't realize how much the server was holding me back."

If you're grinding ranked in CS2 or Valorant and still on default matchmaking servers, you're leaving performance on the table.
