CS:GO pros play on low resolutions because it can help boost frame rates, making the game run smoother, especially on not-so-high-end PCs. Another reason is that lower resolutions can make enemies appear larger on the screen, potentially making them easier to spot and hit. It's also a bit of a habit or preference that comes from older versions of Counter-Strike, where high resolution monitors weren't as common or affordable.

Lower resolutions can reduce distractions, making it easier to focus on the essentials. It's less about the graphics and more about the performance and competitive edge.

It's all placebo, honestly. Playing on low res doesn't magically make you a pro. It's more about comfort and what you're used to. I've seen beasts playing on max settings and still dominate.

They do it for the FPS boost, obviously. Higher FPS = smoother gameplay = better aim. Plus, some are just used to it from the old days.
