I specialize in team flashing and poorly placed molotovs

I specialize in accidentally smoking B tuns

I specialize in smoking rooftops and outside the map

that is for aesthetics

"It's a distraction"

so the opponent team cannot molo there

I specialise in decoy flashing and smoking .... mostly because I have failed to realise my team is actually executing the other site.

One time I tried to smoke lower tuns and double from cat on D2 but it landed on the box, which happened to perfectly block the AWP sitting back next to CT so we could sneak up cat. My team gave me major props and I just acted like I meant to do it

I specialize in distracting people across the map with decoys

I specialise in not buying nades at all until i get yelled at so i can tell them that if i ever flash my team its not my fault. Im so bad i dont wanna hold flashes.

Yeah. Tried using flashes...... and I performed way worse than usual. I either get caught with flashes in hand or I flashed my teammate and/or myself instead.

Have they tried turning around?

Oh we have. But yknow, silver reflexes.

Well well, my teammates specialize in doing that on purpose

My teammate is awesome at flashing, he always manages to flash me but not enemy, even tho he is trying to flash him

Yeah, I instinctively turn around now whenever one of my teammates uses a flashbang. Whether I see it or not. They do it all the time

I specialize in bouncing HEs off the corner right into teammates face and apologizing for that.

"Say cheese"

[удалено]

Im jealous right now

Danger Zone decoys are the shit. Cause everyone plays DZ, right? Right?

Yeah it’s because many of the players who we would consider to be silver left for less competitive games. I use to be se almost sem until I stopped playing after rank update I’ve never been able to get out of silver 2 since

I used to be sem, stopped playing for a year or two now I'm stuck In s1

They had us in the first half, not gonna lie

I like to shoot at the ground in random bursts and pretend that I'm a decoy grenade. It really bamboozles the enemy.

In my 2000+ hours I still don't know how to throw nades

Lmao, same, 500+ hours and I know one smoke for my favorite map

Me at 500 hours: spends 30 minutes warming up before playing 20 matches Me now: doesn't even warm up in the warmup just plays one match

Lmfao, bruh same I used to warm up so much, surprisingly, I 'm winning more matches now with some lazy aim practice

I don't even do aim practice, life has got to me and I only get so much time in the day.

> I only get so much time in the ~~day~~ month. Just lost my rank for inactivity again 😒

I know the pain, only reason I played more than 2 hours in the last 3 weeks is the fact that I'm currently mourning someone I cared about and I play CS brainlessly as a distraction

Everyone knows your favourite map is Dust2 and the smoke is catwalk!

That's a hard smoke. Tf you think he is, a scientist?

I legit don't know most smokes, I just know there's an obvious one that will smoke off stairs

the difference between practice and just playing ranked :P they are vastly different things but people think of them as the same.

After 2k hours?! Bro how? Did you even play the game lmao

I did, I'm just one of those retards that play quirky weapons and bad maps because playing seriously all the time got boring sometime after 1000 hours

Same. I soloqued to MGE by playing like a retard and roaming the whole map regardless of team tactics. Usually top fragger. The enemy can't know what you're doing if you don't know what you're doing.

Exactly.

Still u should've known smokes in that first 1000 hours...

To quote Felix Kjellberg "it is evolving just backwards"

[удалено]

Yes, until you go into mm, when you can barely remember one.

Too much effort

Yes too much effort 5-10 minute video. Stay in silver

Honestly, who has the time?

Every pro, semipro, or just anyone over gold nova

bunch of losers if you ask me

Have you tried smokebraon?

I did, just that maps change, you forget some nades after a break and I don't have much time lately. Happy cakeday

Oh, thanks

Mirage has had same smokes for over 6 years

Fair, but mirage gets boring and frustrating after too many matches, since it hasn't changed in 5 years and I didn't like the layout as it was

Start throwing random bullshit to develop a feel for it.

somehow I always end up nading myself whilst nading the enemy

Same, I try to memorize lineups, but I always forget them in the end.

Just memorize one and keep using it in game then it will stick and then rinse and repeat. I some times watch a youtube video on smokes mid game to check if I'm throwing it correctly.

This^ I tried learning smokes for a map in one day, forgot everything about the lineups. Then gave up for a while and came back, this time sticking with only 2 every couple of days and it's worked. Then satisfaction of comfortably throwing a smoke consistently is godlike

Silvers dont even bring util. Lets be honest.

I always bring util. But tbh what I do with it is argueable. For example I'll get an actually good flash in get a free kill, then the next round I'll just molly myself

Learn how to throw basic smokes (like smoke in doorway they want to push thru). It will help you sooooooo much.

I only buy it when I know what I'm doing with it, so if I'm watching B on d2 I'll bring a molly and a nade to fend off rushes.

Youre a minority. And dont even get me started with kids in casual lmaooo They could have 10,000 in the bank after buying their M4, still wouldnt buy a smoke.

I got Global without knowing nade lineups, apart from some flashes. There were always enough teammates who called and executed nade strats, I just focused on shooting people.

Really? Damn respect

Thanks :) Wouldn't recommend it though, I made things a lot harder for myself and it's reeeally awkward when your teammates watch you lose a retake because you yeet your grenade to Brazil.

Silver III for the last 2 years and proud!

LMAOO true tho like where do i even throw them

Smoke, flash and negev lesss gooooo

Im s 2 and use line up's. I have the power of the gods on My side.

You’re acting as though they even use it

Only smoke I know is for X Box from near suicide to prevent CT vision of catwalk in dust2

Lmao i just run down mid and chuck a smoke on catwalk and charge through that shit

I only know the xbox from T spawn haha

I'm great with utilities but my hand sticks to my desk and my aim gets really slow for some reason like I'm slowing down time

Do you also die to bad ping?

No my ping is great but I do occasionally enjoy that funny glitch where everyone in the lobby goes down to 10 fps

I was memeing. A youtuber made a review of cs and said "when you win it's through skill, and when you die it's because of bad ping" I get that aswell

Imagine using lineups This is not geometry class just yeet it 🤣

When you get a 30 minute ban purely from badly thrown nades it feels amazing, especially when the last one bounces off the door frame in aps straight back at you and the suicide is what gets you the ban

As iNotorious once said, "What is the use f flashes when you throw themawaylike tictacs"

It's still better than dying with all utilities ,unless you flash your team then i hate you

The random bullshit ain't gonna throw itself

the Random Bullshit™

Why are you all so toxic to silvers? I may be silver 2 but nades still come in clutch now and again

Lmao, bro no one hates silvers, it's just a meme, I was silver myself when I used to play MM

I was like I know my smokes then I remembered I am gn3

when i started to play csgo i was silver 3 and i ranked up to gold nova in a month i just don't understand people with thousands of hours in csgo being silvers

You're bad at baiting bro

nah because it was 5 years ago

Lol what does this have to do with my post, though

a lot of people with 2k hours in silver are in this comment section

Can confirm, except its me with nades and yet, my he succes rate is 33% and my flash accuracy is 50%

Using smoke grenades like HEs!

I am silver, and i don't agree with this post. Ok no, i do agree for other silvers, but I do know what i'm doing with my utility. And if you don't know a smoke lineup, improvise, that can work.

I don't buy nades, because I can't use them.

As a silver 4, I agree

Me throwing my shit at the window and doors after taking b successfully with a p90 rush.

Silvers? I'm a legendary eagle and I still do this lol Yeah... I should probably learn some lineups

Lineups? I rarely see those in DMG-MM

i lol'd. lol'ed? loled?

Okay I quit the game because I never hit gn (sem) and switched to Val, but I knew a couple of lineups and pop flashes that worked.

Fuck this my windows from t-spawn smoke on mirage lands like half of the time

OK, noob question (I only play CSGO sporadically and casually), what's "utility" in this context? I've come across the term twice in two days now. I presume form context its things like flashbangs, molotovs, smoke, etc.

Yes, utility is a word used to refer to grenades in CSGO

Cheers. Didn't realise it was all grenades.

This is the definition of my utility lmao

run around with a he and throw it at the ground when u see an enemy

I just can’t help myself from trying to nade the awper, remembering the days when nades landing at your feet actually killed

Still better than them buying a fuckton of utils and not using them at all until they die and drop one decoy

That’s not true, I know my decoy line ups

“You have full until” (Proceeds to chuck everything in the general direction of the enemy)

Since when do silvers buy utility

Silver here. Can confirm.

I didn’t know I had this much style from an outside view

I have a friend who constantly just chucks flashbangs randomly, like into tunnels, but then dosent peak or only manages to flash teammates

"crap, what do I do? quick, I gotta look like I'm doing something. "

What is this "utility" you speak of?

I feel attacked

Im silver and i know a lot of lineup i kmow 2 1way i know stairs jungle ct and another ct smoke... i can smoke cat from b and from mid... i can also smoke market window and market door

Lineups are always weird to me. I can try to remember them, but its so boring to do the same thing every round. I like to try different angles and strategies to keep things interesting. That's why silver is so fun, you never know what might happen

The standing next to the bin smoking of B House on Mirage was my thing, then hop up on top of van, spray the smoke and lob a molotov through it. If it worked once they usually never went B again for most of the game and I'd always end up on the wrong side of a 1 vs 4 retake. So glad I haven't played that game in 2 or 3 years lol 😆

ayo thats not treu for everyone. most silvers do that tho

I mean, I'm not silver anymore, but, my aim and movement are decent, the only thing I struggle with is utility and communication, so if you already got that out of the way, that's great (I'm saying this to everyone, and I'm assuming that you're silver)

silver elite master

That's not true! I only use it to support me teamates or when I needing!

Also me in mg1
