"I've pulled up a demo where I coincidentally did well" my sides

[@sssrbk]

I try to get an idea of the economy in the game.. but in the lower ranks (MG-ranks) You can really never tell.. Like they just lost 2 force-rounds.. they SHOULD be hard-ecoing.. but next thing I know I get picked by an enemy AWP in mid.. Because the opposite team never seem to buy together.

[@nikoyochum6974]

+Håkon Håkonsen + you get random teammates that buy every fucking round, or don't buy armor, or don't buy nades

[@TheZhioNn]

+Håkon Håkonsen this video is for ppl who plays on team bro :)

[@matyezda]

the guy who always buys aug only :D

[@j.n.agoston436]

i fucking love steel

[@bentleyvisser4072]

Noam Nogasto i love fucking steel

[@elpablo3728]

If I ever get rich I'll pay valve to unban you.

[@2px_]

+Doctor Derpy so would i bro, so would i.. not that matchmaking is fun but so would i..

[@novuml670]

+2PX he cant participate in events because of the ban sooo...

[@monsterrapid]

Im playing CS:GO to forget about school, maths and stuff like this.. Well, that's the reason, why I am still LE as I can see

[@csCherry]

+HashTag here is the guy that forces every eound on my team.

[@monsterrapid]

OneMillionandOne Not that bad actually :D I mean I know when to eco/force, but not in depth like how much money I get for a round etc.

[@MaxGauthierguitar]

+monsterrapid If you're LE after the deranks then that's not too bad. I was Global and played 1 game and deranked to LEM and I have a feeling a lot of other people I've played against in LEM/LE are in the same situation. So you're probably playing against a lot of pre-update Globals and Supreme's. Some of which were bad but, some of which were actually where they were supposed to be. Just keep practicing

[@androo907]

+monsterrapid this is really only important in teams not that big for mm tbh.

[@MaxGauthierguitar]

androo907 I would disagree. Obviously it's essential for major competitive teams, but it's still necessary to understand the economy system. Most people already know the basics of it. Like, when to buy as a team and when to save, and when to just go for a bomb plant. At any decent level of CS it's super necessary. Otherwise you'd have half of your team buying and half of your team saving every round.

[@clark1066]

Love the help, I am just starting out as IGL and needed this.

[@DudeWithTheNose]

much better than the crash course series

[@derpydayha]

Thank you for starting this igl series! I am going to a tournament with my friends for my birthday and will have to in game lead. I need all the info I can get

[@snazzaluphagus8659]

I found this really educational and interesting. Nice work

[@stevodog8755]

love the IGL series! keep up the great work!

[@ShureShot15]

thank-you so much for this video, been waiting for a long time for it!

[@Nenishere]

Wait, so when the CT's have less nades, shouldn't you be taking your time so you can execute when they have no more utility? Or is rushing better since they will not have molotovs?

[@patrickzzz3465]

depends on the map for example, if it's inferno, it's better to bait put their nades and do an execute rather than rush in but let's say if u r playing mirage and u want to rush b, it's better to full rush because they won't have Molotov and u have gun advantage

[@thepizzatry]

Love the series, Josh. Keep up the great work. :)

[@DuanorTRGamer]

Great vid, showing my freinds csgo, this makes much more easier to keep the $ situation of the game in my mind so I can tell them when to buy or not and how to play having an idea of what the enemy has. Keep the good work up!

[@shaneomahony4426]

+DuanorTR Gamer Shush you Spanish pansy

[@DuanorTRGamer]

who are ya ma man?

[@sergiosoares1247]

Hilarious how steel can be at the same time so aware of the game and yet so emotical unstable on stream.

[@nikoyochum6974]

+Sérgio Soares he is super competitive

[@sergiosoares1247]

You´re right.Wasn´t my intencion to go that far. I like to watch his stream so i should start just by saying that for future events.

[@nikoyochum6974]

yay for KZbin comments that are civil :)

[@LXproject]

Keep it up man, love your vids

[@rednax3788]

Are you allowed to cast/analyse at events?

[@wannabeserialkiller]

+Gawsome That would be amazing

[@TheIXPredator]

+Gawsome They are not allowed to participate in majors at any capacity.

[@josue105perez]

If he can cast he can play, but he'd rather play than cast.

[@sean-iw2oj]

+Dankk ay

[@daltonbaker1914]

+Dankk steel retired from CS before he was banned iirc

[@fo3nixz877]

update for new eco in 2019??? please

[@seanders_]

what command enables the round loss/win info on the middle of the scoreboard? (asking for my pcw server)

[@stephanjacob17]

"Coincidentally played well", sure brah.

[@themechanic6151]

Would intentionally losing a round to reset the other teams lose bonus back to $1400 be a possible idea/strat?

[@slayer3756]

very risky since you are allowing them to keep their weapons in which they bought from their 3400 bonus, and get the 3500 from defusing the bomb, so they can steadily build an economy up from there, allowing them a higher chance to win the following rounds, while you only get 2200 (1400 loss, 800 plant).

[@zetter946]

Just watched this video, cheers Steel helped a lot =D

[@timothedino9766]

why does it say "time expired" at 9:48, didnt the terrorists win that round? o.O

[@The9nipples]

+timothedino I'm pretty sure that means the bomb went off.

[@fridging]

Bomb exploded?

[@The9nipples]

yea

[@1grim694]

+Pandy Time expired means the clock ran down.

[@The9nipples]

Yea the clock ran down on the bomb. If the clock had ran down then the terrorists would not have won. Thank you.

[@DJ-ov2it]

What the fuck is a non-impact frag?

[@markplaisted]

Can we update this

[@kwhatofit]

Thanks, Jonsh.

[@xDented]

hey guys i could've easily analysed economy anywhere but at the end of a game where i topfrag vs nip but fuck it

[@MrHajdkoj]

Best cs channel on YT.

[@shamu6935]

+Hails Angels He didn't?

[@offbeat4772]

+Hails Angels he stated it just as much subjectively as he did objectively...

[@Josh-vg8zm]

+Off Beat Is he meant to say that this is his opinion at the start of his comment so people like you don't get confused? when it's obviously an opinion?

[@TickaTickBOOM]

Why does dazed have 3 ping with everyone else at 5?

[@yodatheslayer4924]

everyone actually has 0 ping as it was a LAN.

[@starcraft15237]

As CT if you lose pistol do you force up?

[@bergman97]

Yes, since u need to double Eco anyways. Lose pistol: +1400, lose next round: +1900=3300 which is not enough as a ct. Or u force and get 1900+2400=4300. Source: been global for 1.5 years, still am.

[@turanFIFA]

+Lukas Bergman no always depends on map

[@ConejoTravesti]

What Lukas means is, you aren't going to be able to buy until 4th round no matter what, so you might as well force 2nd round for a shot at winning. This makes sense 2nd round because by the 3rd round, the T's would have slightly better weapons/more nades.

[@bergman97]

Yeahy u will afford light kev(which is all u need vs aks) an m4 and a smoke and flash. If someone has gotten a kill or two they will also afford a defkit. If someone wants to they can buy a famas and get full nadekit + defuse kit aswell. That is not a bad buy.

[@turanFIFA]

but why force on 2nd if you have play maps like d2 where there is just a little chance of winning force buys and not get kit kevhelm m4 and full nades ( or even awp )

[@sharky2470]

who is that azk guy

[@Cobscastissorj]

Sharky He got banned as well, he is now a pro in over watch

[@kirill_smeax6812]

[@zipey7157]

just seeing the names makes me wet (ingame) xd

[@therealxqus]

2nd :O høhø

[@CloudyCSGO]

first comment

[@vaibhavpatel6924]

First yay

[@suleymanozturkoglu1842]

damn you know a thing or two about the game huh why dont you play professionally?

[@neonzombielama]

+QOTG I Just shut up already. Those childish comments were old the day they began. Maybe try getting a life, rather than taking sadistic pleasure in kicking a man when he's down.

[@discore931]

+NeonZombiellama, sad that he can't go pro, i guess he still has a better life than the low lives who try to insult him.
