Regarding 4:56 The "peeking further back away from the wall/angle" has been debated a lot. Peeking close to the wall will actually seem way quicker on the enemy POV so that is actually usually better when possible. Peeking further back is way slower from the enemy POV so it will be easier for them to react in time to kill you. Also when peeking further away from the wall, you're moving and they're not for a longer period of time even a slight bit, this will give you the disadvantage and them the advantage. What do you think, have I been misinformed?

Do also consider shadows. A main on Mirage is a good example. Even though peeking from further back is faster, they see your shadow beforehand, negating the effectiveness of your fast peek.

You do make a good point and this is good to keep in mind, but any team with even the most decent of knowledge will throw a pop flash and other forms of util over A main when pushing.

@@Nyver253 I see, that does help cover it, but then the timing needs to be really perfect. Ideally, the peeker would start peeking at the same time as the flash pops. But due to the shadow giving them away early, they would have to calculate a slightly delayed and really tight peek, or maybe wide swing early to catch the blinded enemy.

This is super helpful! I'm just getting back into Counterstrike after, like, 5 years, and I was never that good when I did play anyways. I didn't even know about counterstrafing, and I'm super bad at peeking, so I'm glad I found this video :)

Good stuff, mate. Very well explained. It should be basic knowledge, but people still forget about it. There are still things like shadow (dis)advantage/situation/time and other aspects, where you can't afford to enter side clinical like that. But still very well explained. Gonna show it to my son, so he can improve. Thank you for the vid, keep it up, mate!

i recommend trying out some of the workshop maps, if you want to get better at aiming, strafing, spraycontrol. there is alot of maps like, Aimbotz which help to get better at the basics

i think youre saying a lot of good things but your understanding of angle advantage is wrong. Whoever is farthest from the angle will see more than the person who is closer, this mean in your example of peeking triple they would still have way more angle advantage on you, no matter how far back you go you still will be at a disadvantage, so it would be better to peek closer to the wall to appear much faster and harder to hit. i think your way is still better but its because of positioning and how much of site you can see not because of angle advantage.

loved this got 10x better by watching this vid

Crazy its not explained this simply on other pro channels its all over complicated. Thank you alot

Amazing video. Would just like to add that sometimes situation calls for peeking close to wall for a super wide peek, because on the enemy's screen you will appear faster when peeking closer to the wall than away from the wall.....and so the enemy would have to flick more if you peek closer to the wall. Situations like when the enemy is holding a tight angle, you would peek closer to the wall to appear faster to the enemy so that he is unable to react in time. So peeking close to the wall should not be completely ignored, it's situational and with proper crosshair placement, you can easily get a kill even when peeking close to the wall.

Also with the A ramp peek, by standing further back on that ledge, you are not blocking anyone behind you who can cover tetris while you peek triple.

There is also another fact that you didn't talk about. The reason why people crouch peek is that they're scared to make noise or something. BUT, there is a mechanic in Counter-Strike which allows you to make any noise, by just not being in movement just some seconds before peeking. Like : take your position and place your crosshair through the wall, wait around one big second, and peek. You'd see that you absolutely didn't make any noise because of your foot. So everybody can check a site without making noise AND by being fast and quick. Now go remove some heads Oh and ultra useful tutorial btw

bro taught about velocity components aswell lmao W vid

Hi, great video man. I wonder when you peek on 30th second do you move your mouse or just holding your mouse poisition?

Thats why i die when close peek corners. Great video helps alot.

You also need to know what other peeks are, 1. Bait peek (hugging the wall close range, using A and D to bait awp shots or even to know their location), 2. Bait peek (jumping strafe) difficult to pull it off, 3. tight peek, 4. Wide peek. You need to know when these peeks are viable for different situations.

ty bro

cool video, what crosshair are u using

great video I liked some of your analysis. The only thing i’m curious about is your opinion on peeking an awp. In my mind you would never peek an awp from the furthest back position of ramp, because even though you decrease the exposure time of your player model you also take a super unfavorable fight. If you instead swing the awp from close to the wall you can fake them out with a jiggle or swing across with a closer distance.

@matchboxr

8 ай бұрын

Absolutely. Peeking an awper is more nuanced. I always recommend trying to push them out of a strong angle with util. (In the case of the example angle, I’d be smoking jungle and stairs, and then getting a teammate to flash over main). Once you’ve pushed them into a weaker angle, you can either try jiggling to bait the shot or just get a teammate to trade you

Tbh A ramp was the worst example you could show peeking as far as possible, the shadow would give you away.

VECTOR CLASSSS OWNO

probably the first time I've seen math in a CS guide video.

I played counter strike when it first released the very first beta. way before 1.0 , 1.3 and 1.6 which all people favor differently. I remember when bunny jumping was at it's peak which i will admit was kind of fun to hop around getting headshots! But great point for those who don't understand, and even I till this day can do silver mistakes just because i'm not focused. Having map knowledge is one thing but if you can't peek or know your nades on each map then you're done for in cs2. Nades are so important because every map has sweet spots for safe smoking, good flashes and plases for HE and molly's.
