 Hey guys in this video I'll talk about why Pro 6 is so close to the monitor. First, it's mainly just to try to see clearly. I know it's annoying for the viewer to see Nick Merck's forehead all the time, but for the player it's easier to see clearly. If you aim at someone and you're sitting 4-5 feet from the monitor, it's hard to see the enemy's movement when there's a small pixel on the screen. Sitting closer could help with that, especially enemies from far distances. It's also annoying when your crosshair blocks the body of your enemy. Sitting closer again helps with that. When looking at that screen normally, it's hard to determine what movements the enemy is making. For example, if they're moving right, you can't really see that because it's hard to tell from a far distance. Even in close ranges, many pros feel more confident in their aim because it's easier to tell where the enemy is on their crosshair. They can be more sure of that and in turn, be more confident in their aim. Now is this actually beneficial? Well in some pros, yes, better visibility is a big advantage, but a lot of it is specific. For example, focusing closer makes you think that you can hit the shot. Now pros would think that because they know exactly where the enemy is. I hate it when your crosshair looks like it's on an enemy, but you miss. I tried looking close on my monitor and I did hit more far range shots better. It does come with some tradeoffs however. Like viewing the map and viewing the kill feed is kinda hard. You have to actually tilt your head, you're not looking at the full screen when you're that close to the monitor. You're only focusing to your crosshair. After a while doing this, I actually felt kinda dizzy. Although I was more focused on the game, I felt like sitting that close just didn't feel that natural and my eyes were really tired from doing that. I feel like in the long term, it's not really beneficial in terms of your health. Now pros like noted or nickmerks might have gotten used to it, but in my opinion, I don't think it's for everyone. So in conclusion, pros do it for better visibility, especially in long ranges. Now it does come with some tradeoffs, but pros aren't doing it, you should at least give it a try. And if you don't like it, just don't stick to it.
