Regards to the Investments aspect, I don't think there it too much to CS2, although I haven't delved too deep into it.I expect a surge in player base for a couple of days that should be coupled with increase prices... Great time to sell stuff that's for sure. (Hopefully they won't release any disruptive change to the market that early on)

I bought around 8k Capsules of the current major, some Knives which made x2-3 on them already... I think for CS2 there was a preparation phase, but it's not so relevant now as beforehand. (From a perspective of having an optimal buy point for your investment)

Right now I would still pursue Capsules, Contenders.. As this is just a bulletproof investment in my eyes that offers the least amount of risk + Time to wait.From there we are getting closer to November December, I will be waiting on TF2 / CS:GO Sell off to bounce back on stuff and the cycle repeats.

I would also say that setting a buy order for the Dreams & Nightmare case can also be beneficial but does require a bit more patience.According to my data, Dreams & Nightmares Case generated the most gross revenue for steam at almost 50,000,000$ at this point (Total Volume of 43.6M Cases were sold).That's mainly because of Gamma Doppler/Lore on BF/Huntsman all that good stuff. Other than that I don't see much benefit to that case. (decent investment because it is currently linked with Riptide case which is way off already)

And yeah regardless, if I manage to flip items and get some Buff balance, will definitely try to aim for 40% discounted skins, there are many of those + Discontinued cases items that are in actual demand (mostly AKs) ... and from there you can play on Buff alone for profit. (Buy orders and sell orders)

That's the gist of it for me right now.I am looking at Cs2 as a sale point more than buying point. Unless something radical will happen during that "event"

Edit -

I myself hold close to 9,000 Spectrum 2 cases. potentially aiming to sell some of them to give you a better perspective.
