iirc you have to inspect in game -- the image in ye stream inv is a generic image. your knife looks different in game.

as a gold nova, i believe that binds are for scrublords who can't hit a proper sequence of buttons in a limited time frame and have no place in the competitive counter-strike: global offensive community. it is the humble and correct opinion of this author, that anyone who uses any sort of bind should be put to death. shame on you if you play a game differently than i do!!

i used this mic for a really long time and it does the bare minimum of being able to communicate, but it has an ascetically unpleasing sound.
the clip is also p weak and broke off after a few months. for one on a tight budget, definite upgrade. if you care about added quality, you should probably opt for something like a blue snowball. i'm told the blue yeti is also good.

i never suggested that you were mean, but you provoke the ire of 90% of the server pop in other ways. i also never said that no other person is ever mean, annoying, or disruptive, pinky. 99% of the server is moody, much like in real life, but u rarely hear of people getting banned for getting upset in a game. you need to brush up on ur reading comprehension, buddo. i think ur inability to comprehend my post as opposed to hearing whatever u want constitutes a large problem in ur ability to get along w other human beanings.

Hey guys, a quick question for you. I'm a new player trying to get a start on some of the more advanced technical things.

What key binding (or method) are pro AWP'ers using so switch so quickly from their knife and back, and why are they doing this? I assume it's something related to animation canceling, but hitting Q seems like it would inhibit movement.

The only other binding that really got my interest was for the grenades.

Thanks

i personally just mash q and strafe my way around. i'd be surprised if people actually have a bind for quick switching....

To add to this, I feel it's better to use smoke grenades as they are usually used. To block visibility as you gently caress off to a new path.

typically, you should watch your smokes because the second you don't someone's gonna push it, but ymmv since i'm a silver and push smokes

I play a lot of B and going Cat or CT spawn is dependent on how many and what weapons. If the bombs planted for long and there are only 2 people I'll go cat Medium range against the person with the AK and I can either smoke site to defuse or sneaky beaky it without getting caught. If Awp is @ goose Ct spawn closes the distance and it's easier to engage. I usually jump on the dumpster next to ct spawn to pick the Ak person then move to ramp to engange awp where he will be exposed.

cat is probably one of the worst ways to retake the site. so many angles and the grenades just bounce right on you. ct or long(if you have time) is better imo.

is there a way to not get owned in the head? i think this game would be more fair of they removed headshots and the awp.

*sigh* i'm just upset that i lost my rank up game to mge from bs headshots and awpers who camp mid in dust2. i know i'm way better than everyone at my current rank but my teammates are all awful and when i call the ingame leader position no one listens!! sometimes i wonder if my teammates knew how many great strats i have cooked up in ye olde brain compartment, if they would stop being fat retards, but alas you cannot convince of idiots anything. since no one has anything important to say in mm i usually mute everyone and just call strats.

Someone in the comments called him out for being wrong too. Then they edited their comment to say they were mistaken and you still don't save time by quick switching.

It's good for unzooming, or cancelling a reload.

some advice (cont.)

1. get an esea acc (costs rl $)
2. get a cevo acc (free)
3. play ppl who are better than you
4. learn the basics of crosshair placement
5. coordinate your buys with team
6. don't peek
7. don't peek
8. don't peek
9. play passively
10. don't push when you are ct
11. use your grenades
12. communicate with yr team
13. do not be combative with yr team even if they are jerks
14. use the mute option
15. if you are bottom frag you are most likely doing a lot of things wrong
