This is one where there definitely should be a part 2 eventually because Utility Usage is just an insanely broad topic and there are definitely things that I couldn't mention in this one without making it 1 hour long Check out Polen ► kzbin.info Join the Discord ► discord.gg/Dw6KbFy Support the Content ► www.patreon.com/voocsgo

You always want to nade yourself after taking on a AWPper to show who's the better player.

[@mks2870]

This was done to assert dominance over the enemies

[@axelfarner4232]

He could have thrown it because he needed to get rid of the nade in order to buy two flashes, smoke and moly for the next round (as the round was basically over)

[@xremembrance1474]

I think he wanted to get rid of the HE so he could pick up/buy a different grenade, since HEs arent that useful on t side compared to the other grenades

[@Kevin-rk3ef]

I have a problem with buying full utility and not using it in fear that ill need it later in the round i really needed this vid thank you king

[@immortal_hades5541]

I'm pretty bad about holding onto it and dying, or getting over aggressive off of one piece and then dying with the rest. I think its better if use it all, even if it seems useless, because it might indirectly win the round, vs not using it and losing the round because of it or dying with it all. Obviously there will be some times where you won't be able to use it all, but like he said, basically set a plan for your nades at freeztime when you buy them

[@morailiette7868]

Voo I was literally just thinking about how to improve my utility usage yesterday, thank you so so much for uploading this!

[@viktornagy8523]

Thank you for making illustrations of the optimal play (the black and white scenes). It makes it much easier to see how it would play out if the utility usage was better instead if you were just talking about it. Please make more of these in the future as well.

Hey I see you are enduring the pain as well, you know what helps even more? It's when your country has a long lasting rivalry with Turkey so whenever they see your nationality they start finding really creative ways to express how fucking much they hate you, and while most of the time I feel the same I actually try to be nice and win the fucking game.

[@elias6648]

When he threw the molly mid 4:20 (i dont know if he was thinking about it) but it can really help taking banana control, if your b player are throwing the default nades banana they have no where to hide so they have to go ramp or mid if they dont want to burn so that way the b players get more than enough time to smoke of banana and get close.

[@cram1nblaze]

9:27 talking about how his flash is high and ineffective yet you see the T raise his arm to block his face indicating he’s blind and on top of that the T clearly doesn’t even attempt to shoot at him. Throwing high/slightly behind so as to not blind himself/teammates was a good idea too.

As a solo queueing S2, I see a lot of people that throw flashes places that they have no intention in peeking ever. For example, someone would be holding a bomb that’s is planted at triple on A site of mirage and then they’d flash jungle and then hide behind triple again.

it's not about knowing what you have it's about pulling it out quickly

[@austrone8586]

There is a sequence of how nades are like drawn first the HE then the Flashes the Smokes then the Molly i just remember those sequence in my head and just tap on the 4 key as fast as I can but yeah sometimes it is slower but i have a bad memorization on key binds

[@Memann208]

I think the biggest hurdle to anyone trying to learn utility usage is that majority of their games are chaotic pug matches where you have no clue what your team wants to do, and no one will make the final call. Team environments are helpful when you want to learn good utility usage. Things such as who keeps their smoke for executes, who throws the default smokes for the T side. Then CT side, who keeps their flashes, who smokes first / keeps their smoke. Then we start getting an idea of throwing support flashes, anchors having util to break up executes, util for defaults and executes while players who used their util for defaults can entry.

[@duartefonseca4908]

it depends where the t are defending in bombsites that are hard to retake its better for u to delay the push and stay alive as best as u can as a ct than to get kills , however on big bombsites its usually good if u get 2 or more kills. Also use ur utility to delay the push and split the execute as best as u can

[@krypt1ccc739]

One thing that really annoys me in lvl 5 and like dmg/le is people don't know how to throw flashes on the go. For example if I asked to flash me on A site the con player would just throw it in front of me rather than like over triple or like on overpass if I asked for flash close long they'd throw it over the long wall rather than behind me above bank. It fucks me over so much bcus the comms and expectations are so off that idk if to turn around or not and who it will even flash lmao.

[@duartefonseca4908]

yea same shit like usually they dont know what to do mid/late rounds

[@RavagerRideout]

The LEM player in this video (me) is a great example of someone not really being able to throw a flash on the go. I can flash banana from coffin, from 1st orange to retake car, from CT, while on the run to car if my teammate wasn't in front of me, but if I have to improvise something on the run then it'll probably be a bit shit that hangs in the air or just isn't effective. Not always flashing in front of my teammates, but just crazy hangtimes
