I disagree in general. CT's do not want to trade. It's advantageous for terrorists to trade. CTs have to cover more ground and they need more people to do so. Terrorists only have to defend one site after plant. Generally the situations T's run in to: a 5v 3 or 2 with no trades. After a trade it's usually 4 v 2 or 1. Another trade and it's 3 v 1 or 0. Each trade makes it easier to crack a site. Obviously this is a simplicity that ignores rotates and other metagame stuff.

No team wants to trade. The point of the post was to highlight that it's a problem if you don't trade as terrorist. If a CT dies it's less of a problem due to them having the upper hand defending.

I'm not sure what you're disagreeing with. You've essentially reworded my post. If you're saying CTs should never put themselves in a spot where they may lose a player, I disagree.

Does anybody know how to get to the roofs on Favela? Pengy, Daeno, and a couple other guys were in an MM with me on CT side. Near the end of the match the T's just start appearing from the goddamn rooftops and shooting us. I'm suspecting that the dumpster in the small alley near T spawn is how they get there, but I have not been able to find any spots that are boost-able to yet.

Haha, that entire match was kind of a poo poo show. Once we got wise those rooftop vistas were no use though. Only good for 1-2 rounds of surprise. Karma's a bitch.

You know what they say, the higher you boost, the longer you fall.

CT's dying is more of a problem because they have to cover two sites and it stresses the defense. T's gain an advantage on a trade and CT's see a reciprocal disadvantage after a trade.

Obviously the goal as T isn't to trade, as they say at the start of the round, kill them all. But trades help T's and hurt CT's.

There's only two teams, so "no teams want to trade" can't be true, unless you think it's purely neutral for both teams after a trade.

There should be data to this somewhere, but I don't have it.

Think about the limiting case of 1 T vs 1 CT. I'd argue that in this situation, the T is at a pretty big advantage, assume neither player knows where the other is. The T has a 50% chance of missing the CT entirely, and even if T approaches the site that CT is nearer to, he's got a good chance of approaching from an uncovered angle, and once the bomb is down, CT is on a pretty strict time limit where he has nobody to screen for him while he's defusing.

I disagree with this analysis. Put it this way: I would much rather do the standard 3-1-1 split vs. 5 T's on Dust 2 or Mirage than try a 2-1-1 split vs. 4 T's on those maps. If a T dies without trading, at worst you're forced to push a site (which you may already be doing). If a CT dies every site becomes weaker because it's that much weaker to simply overwhelm any single defensive position.

The go:ons steam group is just a steam group for goons who play csgo. Most of the group uses it for coordinating goonmans but there are also a bunch of people that just idle in the steam chat to get MM groups together.

I don't think anyone means that you shouldn't try to get a kill if one of your teammates just died. I just think they mean that sometimes you want to focus on pushing a safely as possible so you don't have to trade, as opposed to pushing a site to force a trade.

Thanks for the advice. I've been having some trouble getting into pit before their push comes, as at my poor level of play basically the only T strat is 'pick site -> rush rush rush'. I'll work on that. I've played back on plat a few times but that game we kept getting hit with an A split and the guys on cat would slay us while we were defending against long. Then again, part of that may be that the guy mid wasn't doing his job and calling the cat rush, so in better circumstances playing plat will probably work out fine.

I am okay as a CT trying to get a pick because I know if I get the pick and fall back, it's a lot harder for the Ts. If I push and die with no pick, I'm not really that bothered because the CTs still have a good chance to win.

Which is why my initial post said, if you see a T team mate fighting, it's more important to help him.

I think the confusion here is that when it's 1 or 2, the trade goes, and you want it to. So when less than 10? Well, duh, give and take it up, through, and if picked, around the back. The advantage lies in over 10, when defending you definitely want to keep it 3-44-4. I've also drawn up this infographic to clear up:
