@@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..

[@solankijimmy]

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.

Could you make a video of squeaky on cache or palace on mirage?

[@huzaifaqader2273]

I've seen get_right take good control on palace in mirage in a video of elma's maybe.

[@MultiGoban]

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.

[@uwillDIEinkoriDIE]

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.

This was the best one yet so much that astralis do that I do not

[@solankijimmy]

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".

[@get_delete1195]

*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 :>

TLDW : Even situations play on site until you have 2 on B. 5vX play the CT, Coils crossfire.

[@KryssN1]

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.

@@Novacification okay, that makes more sense. Just find it weird how can he be so confident to stare at a wall, when no one is holding arch side.

@@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.

[@arcticfoxes8034]

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.
