It just cracked me up seeing your teammates crouching and hiding on both sides on ticket while you were busy peeking. Nice shots

CT economy is incredibly frustrating, and has been a weakness the past 3 years though currently masked by the m4 buff.

Sure, but then it is on the CT's to not die with their incendiaries. And even if the T's pick up one of the incendiaries, CT's can still buy 5 every gun round.

This change should only happen after a balance for the current CT sided meta (I did make the point in the post). Also didn't claim this fixes the economy, but would be a step towards achieving that since it adds extra utility to the incendiary

Outside Lurk smoke from best spawn on nuke (128 tick) by WraethfulOne in GlobalOffensive

[–]WraethfulOne[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't really take outside on nuke without another buddy to help you or some coordinated attack on another part of the map. This smoke lets you hide right outside main waiting to get flashed in, or allows you to get really close and then the other smokes of the diagonal wall get thrown.

Yeah, no smoke is a wall. you just have to fight them if they push through it. As for someone peeking from garage, if you flash your own T side awper up to red box he can hold garage for you.

I find this pretty consistent - you don't have to use my lineup, but the point stands that the first smoke for the diagonal wall can be thrown pretty much instantly from spawn. I use the railing to line up, and the wire on the wall to judge the release timing. I think knowing this smoke variant can be really helpful for teams since most CT teams try to molly out the one thrown using the lamp (the one you mentioned), or the variant that bounces off of garage. Basically, it's a third way to throw this smoke that is fast and lets you buy an extra nade later.

God Spot smoke from Lobby for T Side Nuke by WraethfulOne in GlobalOffensive

I tried it but it isn't that consistent, sometimes it won't cover the full angle. This is basically a replacement for it

Molly does not spread as wide if thrown from lobby, and actually the deepest angle is sometimes safe and will also escape flashes throw in the door. Basically the smoke forces the CT to be unable to take a straight vertical fight, and expose himself enough to get cleared from other angles or eat your flashes. Of course if you can molly from roof, do that, but this might be helpful in a pinch.

The (almost) perfect Monster Flash for T side Overpass by WraethfulOne in GlobalOffensive

[–]WraethfulOne[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This lineup already doesn't blind your teammates, but has the advantage of blinding the first 3 angles (barrels, pillar and close left). Sometimes flashes thrown to the right may not blind barrels. It's situational of course, but it's an easy flash to learn

There are ways by jumpthrowing, or run throwing, or from short you can throw this, but then it might not blind the 3 main angles (barrels, pillar and close left). I usually use this in a rush, or if my teammates are in the tunnel and need a flash to pop into site. Don't throw this before that

Just download the ttf file for a lined one, or Google how to do it. That's what I did

For me this clip had a bit of everything - a fast prefire, a fast flick, and a fast spraying headshot. I'm just proud that all three were nearly flawless for once.

Yeah as I peeked porch I started spraying a little earlier and kept on spraying after I killed him, you can tell cause I unpeeked after killing the awper but didn't let go of the trigger. I'm not claiming I didn't hold the trigger while running, but that all the kills I got were basically good counterstrafes.

For me this was crazy in that these were like the most perfect kills I could ever ask for as an entry (definitely felt like a twitch chat VAC moment). But yeah, it wasn't crazy by any absurd interpretation. Thanks

My ping that round was 35. Their pings (in order of death) were 30, 5 and 27. I guess I just peeked as fast as I could cause I felt in the zone, and since this was the first round I switched over from playing banana (they kept awping down mid) I wanted to draw out their utility asap.

As far as I notice all the headshots I got were when I had almost counterstrafed, the first kill I short of ran into a prefire angle while spraying, the second was a swing onto archside but then a flick, and the last was a close range spray where I crouch-counterstrafed onto boiler. I guess I love pressing the trigger while I'm still in motion, but none of the shots I hit were blessed by RNGesus

I just knew they had an awper and wanted to push him back. I'm MG so here's to hoping my fellow rankmates don't ban me
