And the callout for vertigo catwalk on A site is called “austin” 😂 iykyk

[@Chillypuwn]

3:40 the molotov and incendiary WAS different at one point, where the molotov would kill people FASTER than the incendiary. 3kliksphillip had a video on it.

[@G1gN31]

There is a way to go to b as a t in vertigo wingman and it completely breaks the game. You run boost your teammate to b site and he can plant the bomb on b while there is no way cts can go b.

[@jimdavidson210]

My first thought when I saw the molly update: one incendiary will no longer cover both broom and logs on Inferno banana. Wouldn't be surprised to see CT stats there reminiscent of CSGO

[@Tommo_]

i love these changes, you dont have to feel like you're in the middle of the open as a ct when defending more forwards as a ct, and its not gonna be a left right smoke wall + rush a every round anymore lol

The doppler skin changes bums me out. Only knife I've ever opened and it looks way worse now

[@veryinteresting-xe3xy]

From shiny pink galaxy, now my doppler looks like black pearl

[@lolcatfe]

I hope they at least increase the damage on incendiares, so that if they're not gonna delay rushes for long they should at least be more effective in actually stopping those rushes, right now you can pretty much run through an incendiary the first 2-3 seconds after landing with how long it takes to reach max damage per tick

[@dadgurt5430]

Great video! Your editor does a great job ;)

[@Bunsdo]

If anything I would predict that kilowatt skins keep value and maybe kukri knives will go up as you still need a case and a key to rent so more cases will be getting deleted with no real skins that will last coming out

[@josko144]

Well the skins already dropped like 30% but they will probably bounce back after the panic settles

[@francescomancetti8327]

more kukri knives will be opened so they'll be less rare and lose value

[@Vogurt]

@@francescomancetti8327 when you rent a case it consumes the case - and you CANT get a knife. This means less kukri knives opened per killowat case.

[@francescomancetti8327]

@@Vogurt yeah you are right, I misunderstood how it worked

[@Jaryt]

imo case renting is super smart if it's only available for the latest case, which might be their intention here since they haven't added it to any of the other cases. This solves the price decrease issue since when a new case comes out, you'd no longer be able to rent it. I'm sure valve took that into account.

[@EurovisionESC]

they dont care about your investments or case prices :))) They only care about their own $$$

[@francescomancetti8327]

@@EurovisionESC exactly, they just found a cheecky way to get more ppl to open cases and thats the only thing that matters. Before putting back retake mod, proper wingman maps, scoutknivez, cache/train/cbble, etc. they work on chicken movement and cases

[@Jaryt]

@@EurovisionESC Tell me a business that doesn't, lol. They get a cut of every case sold, so their interests align with keeping case prices high. Also, I got no stock in cs skins. I have a few skins and a knife I like, and probably won't ever care to sell.

[@realbangbang]

Stickers will rise in value since you can prove it's your skin and not just a cheap rental if youve got a sticker on it

[@frkcybtw]

I like being able to buy smoke + molly on CT pistol now. For a while, I was going Smoke + 2 Flashes or Kit + 2 Flashes, but this gives a new option for pistol rounds since 99% of my teammates are buying kevlar round 1/13.

[@joey6578]

Great video, Austin!

[@nik_mik]

ggs on the new vertigo today austin!

[@ANGRYCSPLAYER]

Your karambit looks incredible now!

[@knutkarlsson3630]

Also A site on vertigo is wider so you can't do the old 2 smoke execute

[@SvenP]

thats why no casuals bother learning smoke "lineups".

[@ruleset]

Austin! Big fan of your guides, I have a request. I just got back into cs and I had mirage 2 times in a row and honestly I'm losing my mind on mirage when playing solo (no friends playing I literally have to solo for now). HOW do you actually win mirage premier solo? Let's be realistic, I can throw all the smokes, mollys etc. I want, but without teamplay it won't help much. Can you make a video showcasing the difference of cs solo playstyle? Should I just go full monesy mode abuse spawns and go for kills or is there a balance I need to find? I feel like the enemies are professionals with amazing rotation skills and utility usage while my team is just quiet and does random stuff. Thanks!

[@nadantagaming2276]

Time to grind some Vertigo!

[@KingKong-mp6gj]

I hope they revert back the incendiary spread nerf. Many molly lineups depend on the normal spread and learning different lineups to compensate for less spread sucks.

[@kasgeulh8161]

I'm not sure i got this right, when renting skins you rent everything except the knife right ? So some knife skins probably wont be affected by price change ?

[@francescomancetti8327]

knife skins should be ok. Actually less knives will be open as more people will use a key to rent. So the new knife for example will be opened at a lesser rate and its normal price drop will take more time to happen

[@goochipoochie]

Bomb plant bonus is 600$ only if they defuse, otherwise it is 800$

[@davidhudson2316]

What pattern index is your knife

[@romanvarsity]

When you rent does it consume the case?

[@catfaceCS]

why not get vision pros instead of wearing glasses to look at a monitor?

[@gustavkollingnystrm2002]

Finally a big update, tbh it feels rough as ct getting economy going when t's are just perma forcing

[@ja_u]

I don’t think the skin renting is gonna have too much of an effect on skins as a whole. We don’t know how long it will be possible (Until next new case? Only for x months of case release?) and since it will always just be the newest collection (unless of course they decide this will stay indefinitely starting with this case, who knows) what will happen is that the first spike whenever cases are release will be much lower. But the insane prices even before the update wouldn’t last for long, they just won’t start as high anymore.

[@goochipoochie]

Rent is a complete waste of money If people are stupid enough to use it, it will just drive up case prices In long run it won't have any effect on skin prices, infact they will go up faster if case numbers become low

[@MaZe741]

sure, but I dont really see the reason the incendiary costs more when it is factually inferior

It cost even more before when it was the same, so its for balancing; probably because cts can use it more efficiently to block sites
