@@cg6189 while astralis is actually on another level, the one fake flashbang to bait the anti-flash player to look into the second popflash has been a common tactic for a while now, even teams at ESEA Intermediate use the double flashbang technique. its not really astralis' thing
@@cg6189 then why are you so impressed by this rather simple technique by astralis? Astralis is really good yes, but double flashbangs are not the reason they are.
@@arjentromp12 Cuz I'm not? I just said Astralis is "next level cs" to a person that was impressed by a play from Astralis. I really just wanted to make a positive comment :) I'm sry, but I don't find it very socially competent to "teach" ppl who have not asked for it, especially if u don't know their experience or competence..
Thanks for this video! You highlight the important bits so well. No fluff, no nonsense. I love your work! This video proves how so much of Astralis' success on Inferno B side at least is how they play proactively. The smokes go down when absolutely necessary. Utility is coordinated. So well thought out and executed. Incredibly fun to watch.
Awesome videos, thanks for letting us understand a little bit more how cs works. Been playing cs for over 5 years, and I always learn new stuff with you. Keep up!
If you want info on how to play squeaky, just watch Hiko play Cache. He defaults squeaky on T side and has pretty much mastered it for pugs or general default play. For A site takes it becomes more specific and dependent on the strat.
When it comes to palace pros usually want to keep that position and play it for the after plant aswell as supporting with a Molly into under balc or a flash into site while one teammate clears the balcony. On ct side in scrims and pugs I can usually take an aggressive angle and kill the palace player because he doesn’t expect it with some support from my stairs player and take control of palace while the t’s push ramp which even if I don’t peek. It can slow the terrorists down a lot. It doesn’t work if the palace players expect it but it will work the first few times, and even afterwords they’ll be forced to play more passive and clear it more carefully which give you more time when you play other spots too.
YOU ARE SO GOOD AT THE GAME OMFG. I would have never noticed half the stuff you are talking about if I had watched the demo. And I consider myself a good CS player (lvl 10 Face It, played in a team for 1.5 years, went to 8 local lans, got like 100€ prize money). You must be ESEA Main IGL or ESEA Advanced player?
Also pretty sure analyst and coach are the same in CS. What do you think a coach is doing if not analyzing? Getting his team drinks and whistling when they miss a shot in dm? lmao
It is difficult to gauge skill clearly at the top level. In an older Elma video, he shows how Glaive literally runs in knife out on Inferno T side to get information. They win that round because of that. At the pro level, most players are more or less at the same skill level. We have a bias towards risky plays and multi kills and flicks. A player like device won't probably have those highlight plays or weirdly massive numbers simply because he plays well, so much so that he never really has to make mechanically sick plays or flicks. Let's face it, we all learn the basic rule of CSGO, never take on a fair fight, always get an advantage, however slight. If you manage to do so, your play will always seem "boring" and "unskilled".
*always get an advantage*. yeah im preaching that to all my gold/mge/le students but they wont listen. they decide to push a site without first getting any intel. And then they are stuck in their ranks and cry: "MM-elo hell. My teammates suck. I cant rankup bcus etc. etc. etc. any X argument." Bullsht. I carried myself onto global, always soloqueueing. Fk the enemy, fk my team and their wannabe explanation of being stuck. *I WANT to win, and I WILL win* no matter what anyone says. I give you one (1) good advice if you want to win/improve . *Understand* war. War is fought on many levels. Understand all levels and be the expert on all these levels. A good read or summary, which I personally read too is Sun Tzu, the art of war. ty for reading :>
ty for your video bro . i can send u some crraaaazy moment on faceit . imagine usp 2 last bulets, mirage for ct with bomb planted . 2 shots = 3 headshots in 0.2 seconds
Depends really, if it's 3v3 while being solo on site and you or your team has utility you can play off site still and just try to get 1 frag. That enables you 3v2 scenario with utility, even if you don't manage get a frag on T site entry, it's still alright retake when you have utility and Ts don't. But yeah inn 4v4 or if you are down 1 frag and you are solo on B site, you want to play on the site and frag out. The more people Ts have alive the harder of retake it is, because they can establish better crossfire, even if you have utility for retake as CT. Yeah, if you have advantage on frags, you want to play for retake, even more so if you have utility to spare. Even if there is lot of time on the clock, it's always good to save a piece of utility for when Ts actually execute, not only show themselves. If you got a smoke or molly and when you're playing for retake, you can not throw it at all when they execute and have it for retake. Coils is a powerful position, even when it's smoked, you can play on side of the smoke, on the coffin and ran away into it. Tips as T, it's usually better to molotov coils and smoke garden or molotov and double HE it from Half Wall. The 2nd guy, can be Oranges, CT down/boosted, on or behind fountain and behind triple. When he smokes entrence and gets a pop flash, he can even get into small pit/water to be in front of the smoke and butcher Ts when they are coming through smoke.
Probably just communicating with his team and thinking about going back to B. Starts to turn, someone gives an opinion on where the enemy could be and he turns to arch again until they are sure of what they want to do. He rotates shortly after.
@@JohnSmith-vb5ck they just rotated from B, so if you look 10-15 seconds before I think it's dupreeh who rotates from arch through mid to short, so gla1ve knows it's clear for now.
Clearly Astralis were strategically on point in that first round, but it's sloppy for a team as strong as them to let two players die when they had so much advantage.
it was more important for them to care about stopping the plant and denying any extra money for the 5th round buy, especially because they know liquid bought out. Besides, Xyp9x was using a ump and they weren't in a bad position financially, having won 5 rounds in a row.
Right having played over 40000 matches on inferno alone that first clip of them goin banana then 1 stayin, happen to me and team mates all the time one little bugger get behind that wall, with all the mollys flashes smokes be easy for one to rush up and stay behind and they "shouldnt" know about him, then what happens is he rushes out and 1 taps matey checkin banana thinking its clear. but he never checks behind that wall he just thinks that molly is doin the job, i say all the time its only easy when your cheating, then your get the die hard fans say mate ur deluded they study every ones game play and can read what there doing, yeh ok cool storey like everyone just plays like a robot and does the same thing every round or every other round. stop thinking these players are good
3:36 was so sick with the 2 flashbangs, 1 fake and 1 real

Thanks for making this kind of videos. Really shows how good astralis teamwork
It was fun to watch, Thank you Elmapuddy :D
This is so high quality content! thank you
Astralis so dynamic, taking banana, retaking banana, and playing crossfire in the site 👌
We've seen so much about B-site. Maybe sometime A-site? Although good video!
Just show any clip of Magisk inside that hell fire pit and you've got a highlight.
Watching Astralis as a former pro igl, tacticleader and coach is literally cs-porn.
Ok
I love you Elmapuddy :))

Dev1ce doesn't have to use his aim much on astralis. On fpl or when he was on dignitas / tsm he went for insane shots and had god aim.
4:27 I'm sorry, I just have to point out how bad and dumb that peek was from AZR. he had a whole hour to kill device. why is he not shooting?
he prob didnt see him or smth. idk
angles work odd in this game. if you're extremely close to an angle, the person watching that angle is gonna see you before you see them.
