1:40 there is also the option to jiggle before the flash pops. The majority of the time your opponent will commit to a spray and tank the flash making them an easy frag on the repeek. If they aren't spraying then peek as the flash pops
i watched the first four minutes of this video and the power of the flash has caused me to become faceit level 10 just by proxy. i cannot thank you enough mr. wilson
No joke even though i knew i could; it just took someone saying "hey you can middle click flashes to flash for yourself easily." which really stepped up my game. it's taken me an embarrassing amount of play time to stop playing the game on hard mode (dry peeking everything), and actually put a smidgeon of effort into basic util. with this you've provided me a few more ideas, and encouragement to fail forward instead of failing by not even trying at most opportunities. Thank you Willifordson of the cs2 the 3rd, for your exceptional videos.
Thanks! Been playing since 1.6 but as I got older I got too lazy to learn the "new" mechanics of csgo and cs2. This is a good compilation of what I need.
Thank you so much man!! I really appreciate that. And I’m glad the video was helpful:) even csgo to cs2 has been somewhat difficult for me to adjust to so I can’t imagine 1.6 to cs2
I never really used middle click flashes cause I was worried people would hear the pin being pulled, but then I realized I’m not good enough to play people who can hear that and turn around in time
Good thing to add is that throwing more flashes will make you better at throwing flashes. Like you will be familiar with the distance and timing on peaks, etc.
Man this one is such a banger Wilson. I have never thought of Flashbangs as a tool to force someone to make the decision to turn or not. I normally just think of it as full blind then or nothing. Will be using Bank and swing regularly now
Hi Wil. I want to correct you at 8:50. At that spot and some others you cán throw a self pop using left click, as long as you take a step back while you do it. If I don’t need to be silent I prefer this method, it feels smoother and the flash can reach a bit higher.
Ahhh nice, I didn’t think about that! I’ve always opted for middle click instead of step back left click, but it would def be worth experimenting with then a bit more
Ah, the good ol' bank n' swing. I like to use that one. Aiming high when throwing right click rush flash is something I'll need to incorporate into my gameplay. Good info in this video, !Wilbert
Another thing with flashes is adding in movement (not much is needed, forward, then backward movement is a good start for making middle button flashes even more OP), and it'll make the flash tumble more in the air and can mess up the enemy timing dodging it. Also, varying the amount of right click on a left click hold and also adding movement and varying the pitch in height before you throw allows for a lot of changes as well but maintains a relatively normal looking trajectory whilst also making the flash slow down for part of its flight. Hope this helps. Great guide! Cheers man :)
I like to use middle click for flashes but I have recently started experimenting with using a mechanic where you can throw flashes between the middle click and short throw or long throw. I believe that if someone masters this technique they could throw effective pop flashes anywhere and anytime they wish
Great stuff in here! One thing I've struggled with while playing around in training with flashes is that while i can see where they go, i have a lot of trouble knowing if that flash actually flashed the person holding the angle (especially in cases where it's over a big wall or something). Any tips for figuring out if the flashes I'm playing around with are actually doing what i think they are?
Good point man! You can type in your console: bind [insert key here] sv_rethrow_last_grenade. If you throw a flash in a practice map, you can then go to the CT position you’re wanting to flash and then press the bind to see if the flash would actually blind that spot!
hi goober! I feel like it's a common idea that you feel like the chance that throwing a flash (or any util in some situations) is a net negative is too high compared to just having your gun up. Which means that people are scared to throw them. Just like me. Or they just completely forget the flash is in their pocket. I do that, too :D
Hahah yeah, I think people have gotten caught with flashes a few too many times and then start to just not throw them. Similar to looking at the minimap. But I think that’s kind of a skill in of itself that needs to be developed
Regarding running jumping right clicking flashes, I agree with your points, but I'm sure people are gonna point out that the angle could've been way further upwards to make it not go that far in front of you.
We gotta end the year with a vert 9-16 Edit: since he said he forgot what vert 9-16 was all it was was a vertigo game where he was tryharding and his teammates just does not want to even play anymore. after all the sweating he ended up losing 9-16
I think right click only is underhand. I don't use that one so idk though. Holding down right click and tapping left click, iirc, will do an overhand throw that goes further than a right click only.
I use reactable flashes all the time the problem is that the dude I’m trying to flash stares at it the entire time and get the headshot and I’m here telling him you dumbaxx is staring at the flash and he acts like he has 200 iq
Thank you for watching my video!
Please join my Discord, it's a pretty epic place to be: discord.gg/wilsoncs2
I became so good at flashing from this video I am no longer allowed within 50 feet of the local high school
Insane
Lol hahah

100000% I was kicking myself for not throwing that in

I’m super happy to hear that. No problem brother:)
I shall no longer throw goober flashes anymore. good vid bro, we want more!!!
Yippie!!
I'm faceit level 8 pushing for 9 and I think consistent good flashes every round is a thing I've been missing. Thanks Wilson!
Awesome Oliver, I hope it helps you get level 9 in no time!

for a merely 5k premiere, I love that you focus on concept and allow us to explore ourselves
I’m glad you think so!:)
I never really used middle click flashes cause I was worried people would hear the pin being pulled, but then I realized I’m not good enough to play people who can hear that and turn around in time
Only the T Molly makes a sound like that. If you just click both at the same time you don’t even pull the pin you just throw the flash
Eagle is right! The only sound you make when using util is the throwing sound
@@WilsonCS2that is what I meant but maybe I worded it kinda weird

True! There are so many cool techs you can do with flashes. Thank you brion!
Left + Right flash while walking backwards is my favourite type of flash. It's absolute murder if you pull one of these off against an eco rush.

I’m glad you think so jeremioho!:)
Thanks to WilsonCS2 I now have the skills to go out into the world and flash like never before
That’s the attitude!

Ngl i did learn a lot from this. Have 4.4k hours but I dont use flashes that much because I dont have lineups for everything
I see a Wilson video, I instantly click, no hesitation. My favorite goober.
Hell yes goober thank you
Yet another amazing video, thanks for the tips
No problem man!:)

Its that shrimple
it truly is just that shrimple
As a util crutch, I approve this message.
God I love utility. Getting a flash assist feels so good.
Seeing that flash assist in the killfeed is such a weirdly good feeling lol
Nice video dude!
Thank you Stev!
Im gonna have to show this vid to some of my buddies as we all gotta work on our flashes😂
SPAM IT TO EM
Flashbanger video!
Clever winnie, clever!
THANK YOU WILSON
I liked the part where you talked about flashbangs
NO PROB LEEKO !

Thank you man:)
Bro you're baked af. 😂
Another great tutorial
Thank you brother!
shoutout to green screen wilson that guy is a real one
Actually useful video 😮
:D !
Thanks for uploading on my birthady
Happy birthday!!!:)
Thanks
Flashing high and behind my teammates has been a real boon for my games.
Masterclass
Amazing video
Thanks man:)!
I can't wait to blind my whole team :)
That’s the attitude I wanna see drain!!
Hey bro how do you make your thumbnails, they look sick!❤
I work with someone to make the thumbnails! If you’re interested in commissioning him you can add him on discord (Tenqu)

Me watching this video 2am under blanket
Lmaooo I’m sorry about your eyes
cheers 💪
Now I can finally stop flashing my team 😊
what a great vid
Thanks fitz:)

No problem!

huge shout-out to WilsonCS2 for flashing me (🤨) during the video
:O :O
Instructions unclear. Flashing my whole team.
Just tell them to turn it last second and then blame them for getting blinded by it!

Are L+R click throw an underhanded throw?
I think right click only is underhand. I don't use that one so idk though. Holding down right click and tapping left click, iirc, will do an overhand throw that goes further than a right click only.
Only right click flashes are referred to as underhanded flashes
The goober theory
It’s just a theory, a goober theory
my dad used to do the same thing!!!!! Minus the flash bangs. He would just beat me.
hi goober thanks goober
Hi goober no problem goober
Bold of you to assume that I’ll actually save money for flashes and not buy glass canon awp second round
can u do power of decoys next????????
THE POWER OF THE PP-BIZON + DECOY LOADOUT!
Disclaimer: Reactable flashes are pop flashes 9 out of 10 times in silver.
GOOBWOOB 🎉
gooby!

I’d love to get back into cs but the network jitters make it unplayable. Very sad state of the game we are in.
