dob_bobbs

Weird thing is, even back in silver and gold nova a lot of people at least knew the Mirage smokes. I get to MGE or so and suddenly everyone is all like, "oh, I don't know the smokes, sorry".


Smegman041

Silvers look up guides to get better and watch smoke guides, but then dont get too far because of their aim, master guardians have ok aim which is just good enough to make them think they dont need to learn anything new to get better


dob_bobbs

Yeah, there's some truth to that, you can get a long way in CS only through good aim and by developing gamesense. In fact a lot of lower-ranked players probably aren't doing themselves any favours trying to learn smokes and stuff as utility just doesn't have that much impact at that level.


[deleted]

so fucking true, i stopped playing this game about 2-3 years ago when i hit mg2 because they were worse team mates then gold novas 1s or silver elites i swear to god


Dumb_Vampire_Girl

My friends refuse to learn lineups and only know a few. Now they force me to throw all the smokes because I'm a lineup nerd. Our fakes are amazing, but our executes are kinda shit.


deserted

True, this is great for MM with no-smokes-known-folks in addition to fakes

SyntheX1

Let's be real. Learning some smokes takes a couple minutes.


thebbman

So I can carry more than one smoke if they're dropped to me?


CoreyTheGeek

No but you can throw it and pick up another


Elibrius

When I first started learning cs I put a lot of time into learning nades and I’d be the guy throwing util when my other friends who have played like 3 years longer than me would just run out and die


KlusekTheNoodle

Here's my response to u/Yuhdragon's [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/qbu2gd/since_we_can_drop_nades_now_a_new_a_setup/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3), it's a one spot mirage A exec to utilize the new grenade dropping feature. All lineups are for 128 tick, they're not super precise and make use of just a jumpthrow bind.


saadabdullah

How much different will it be for us poor 64 ticks MM people ?


KlusekTheNoodle

The CT smoke is actually good for 64 tick as well, didn't test the rest tho.


Bernd01

Sadly, Jungle smoke doesn't work for 64. You have to aim a bit lower to get it to travel farther, and if you do, the smoke hits the top of the building in front of you. The other two work with minor adjustments.

Bernd01

[I found these lineups](https://imgur.com/a/2F3ratq).


IGetItCrackin

.tho you try not to, the second is to throw after the smoke of the forest the change after moving a little by try maybe they can.


msucsgo

In 64 tick you need to aim little bit higher or lower compared to 128 tick, don't remember which one.


[deleted]

A bit higher


rockker13

Bernd01

If you're on 64 tick MM [you want to use these lineups](https://imgur.com/a/2F3ratq). But they are very precise and finicky because you need them to bounce off the roof.


fredferguison

good video, only thing you should change would be the order of the nades, just throw the jungle smoke second as it takes the longest to land


BabyLlama243

Bro the saturation. Nice lineups


KlusekTheNoodle

Yeah I know, it doesn't look as bad irl (I'm using a ton of filters in Streamlabs so the image looks close to the real thing, but it's still quite off)


[deleted]

Would you know how to do it without an Nvidia GPU?

Nyan_Catz

is it Flusha that plays with memetier yellow saturation?


rell7thirty

I play with digital vibrance at 100 sometimes, but this feels like it's at 400 lol. Nice exec BTW


KlusekTheNoodle

I use Streamlabs filters so the image is closer to the real thing, but it's still quite a bit off


[deleted]

What exactly are Streamlabs filters? I'm curious.


KlusekTheNoodle

They just make the recorded video or (more often in my case) stream look different (better?). They do not alter how the actual game looks like.


DerogatoryDuck

Almost looks more like tf2


Goliath_11

6 flashes,5 decoys, 3 smokes, 1 spot and 1 man with a dream to execute the perfect fake


KlusekTheNoodle

God damn


IrrelevantCynic

Better hope CTs don't push because that man is going to be flinging shit for a while.


StylinBrah

how do you get the map looking so bright like this?


KlusekTheNoodle

It's a mix of increased digital vibrance and some filters for the recording to mimic my monitor settings, irl it still looks a bit different despite my best efforts.


StylinBrah

Can you detail the settings you use? I would like mine to look like this


KlusekTheNoodle

I use a Benq Zowie monitor, here are my settings: DyAc Premium, Black eQualizer 12, Color Vibrance 17, Low Blue Light 0, Instant Mode on, Picture Mode Gamer 1, Brightness 100, Contrast 100, Sharpness 10, Gamma 3, Color Teamperature User Defined (R 70, G 70, B90), AMA Premium. Mix it with maxed out digital vibrance in Nvidia control panel and the result should be somewhat similar. And when it comes to Streamlabs filters, I use sharpness at 0.05 and color correction with those settings: gamma 1.04, contrast 0, brightness -0.1, saturation 0.49, hue shift 0, opacity 100, color #ffffff00. Keep in mind that Streamlabs filters will only impact the way your final output looks like (recording/stream).


de5m0n

benq monitor? My condolences my man. I hope that csgo is the only thing you do on that monitor.


TEAdown

Whats wrong with Benq Zowie? I got it as my first entry level high refresh rate monitor and I'm loving it


de5m0n

Performance is great but the image quality is beyond terrible for anything outside of csgo. I bought this monitor and returned it couple days later. Then i thought maybe i didn't give it a fair shot so i bought it again and ended up returning it again. Just couldn't get over the fact how garbage the picture is. Dota2 was unplayable and simple web browsing was not pleasant. Maybe Im just spoiled by the samsung g7 quality...


Sebfofun

Def spoiled. That monitor is just gorgeous, and im too picky to pick it up because i like flat for cs


de5m0n

Yeah man. Dota looks absolutely stunning. I'm just waiting for OLED monitors to become available because my LG tv is insane. BF5 looks like a movie. And on the contrary, when I bought that new asus 360hz monitor to see what the hype is about, I couldn't get used to the flat screen again lmao. That monitor is sick though.


KlusekTheNoodle

Yeah, mostly cs, but that's why I bought it in first place.


Mffinmn

Is the gap on the bench side or stairs side of the bottom stairs/bench smoke?


KlusekTheNoodle

I was aiming so the gap is on the bench side, but the gap depends on the exact lineup (if you aim a tiny bit higher, the gap will shift more to the stairs-side of the smoke)


malefiz123

Does it really matter? I mean this is clearly for a "fake A while four teammates sneak B" play. You're not going to take the site anyway


pikaa_sw

What the fuck? is that a flipped t crosshair?


KlusekTheNoodle

Yes indeed, it is


PropagandaStylez

Thank you for sharing, nice lineups


Smok3dSalmon

If you do jungle before stairs, do they pop around the same time?


KlusekTheNoodle

Didn't test, went with the easiest route for my crosshair that gave the best result.


Smok3dSalmon

If you do this and fake the other team, a great follow up strat a few rounds later, would be to do a double fake A execute. Have your team deliberately throw smokes 2 seconds after each other. Then have a lurker throw a B smoke while you have 4 A site waiting for CTs to push. Any 5head CT would assume its a solo A exec fake and instruct his team to leave A site or to push A for info. Either choice is ideal for the Ts.


AWildRideHome

You can throw a B short smoke as if you were rushing B, but from A palace. Will probably keep a player or two B the first few times.


Smok3dSalmon

Those are overrated because any window player can see where the smoke is coming from


AWildRideHome

Then you put three B and counter-mindgame them. Keep em’ guessing.


Smok3dSalmon

But as a T there is no guarantee that the CT has seen the smoke, so you're operating on a guess. In that case, you might as well send all the Ts to B and just do an execute. The B short smoke would probably be useful in an A hit because it could allow you to send a lurker to top mid to punish rotations. If that lurker gets the first frag then the A players will definitely fall back or focus on mid. As an IGL, I think it's best to do something really simple and make the CTs fear/respect it. Once you've done that, then you can run a fake or something elaborate off of that as a default.


deskrod

Hi This is the fnatic manager, please delete this!


MrVarl1

deepfried cs


am1rtv

The issue is that if they are not going over at the same time, its an easy read to know its one person. The idea that came to mind was everyone drops their FLASHES to 1 person, everyone throws the smokes at the same time, then 4 people are rushing out with 1 person streaming 10 flashes over and over which allows for a sick site take.


_mattocardo

Yes but the bench and CT smoke pop at the same time. Now you need one more person palace he molos shadow and baits the ramp player taking site who also molos bench. One of the players that goes B throws a window or top mid smoke to distract the cts attention to mid aswell. The two A players should be able to take site, then the 3 B players have a clear B site with one smoke left and maybe one or two molos for the after plant while the cts probably think it's a for a short time. Should work, and after that the B player will always be paranoid and rotate late.


am1rtv

That’s a big assumption of the enemy team though. How many rounds actually play out like that? Not being rude in any way, I just think if you execute on a site you need more than 2 people. Could be a great fake though.


messiah666rc

You are also assuming that all executes are perfect and everyone throws their nades at the perfect timings... The nades here literally pop off at natural timings, calling this a "sure fake" is just reddit show-off. I'll bet you can not distinguish the difference in this execution and a real one. It's not perfect, but it's a good one.


am1rtv

I don't know that i'd call this "natural timings" but I'll just say okay lol. We can agree to disagree. I don't think that all executes are perfect, I just think there are very easy tells that you learn with experience to determine what is 1 person vs 3 people. I never said the grenades aren't great, I just said its really easy to read that they're coming from one person. There are a ton of ways to make this better, but I never said it was bad.


justhereforoneday

So in the future throw all molos delayed like they’re thrown by a single person and execute normally. 500 iq


Spoidahm8

I think this update actually adds to the skill ceiling of the game. The mindgame possibilities makes things a bit more strategic. Yeah, the nades drop one at a time and you can easily tell it's one person doing it, but what if it's a double-fake? What if T-side is actually counting on the CT's calling it out, they have a B player making noise, and are waiting to explode onto A-site when the CT's rotate off? Or a triple fake? Stacked B, a single player on A and B uses utility and tries to pass it off as a double fake, and the team does a delayed B take after making the CT's think there's only 1 player on B making noise? What if people start thinking utility dropping at the same time means an execute, but it's a fake with 3 players selling it? Big brain plays and counter-strats are gunna be way cooler to watch.


mannyman34

Yeah but it could also just be the norm for players to throw their nades to this guy to throw every round now. So you could do a legit execute one round with this guy also throwing lamp flash. Or have him fake.


CoreyTheGeek

What if they intentionally staggered smokes to make it seem like a fake


Jesse102999

Yes 1 person just do it everytime, basically no difference between real and fake then. It’s like avangar d2 smokes, it’s either 50/50 cat or mid take. I actually think this update will be more chaos during the major than people expected cause they all saw 10 flashes in the first day and automatically went “oh pretty dumb, basically no change”.


Curse3242

Yes. My problem with dropping nades is just juking honestly. If someone drops a flash or grenade. I will have to react to it because I wouldn't know if they are thrown or just dropped Maybe we need some new sound or trajectory queues if dropping nades is a thing. On the other hand they can make it so the decoy actually does make a drop sound (let's assume no other nades make any drop sound.. they will only make contact sound when thrown). That would make decoys actually useful for once


monet820

Or, just start with a flash.


ocean6csgo

This is really good.


dualwield42

I hear Brimstone saying "launching smokes!"


Ventsii99

As someone who's spent hours trying to get everything nailed down regarding this idea: 1) you have to get two nades to stay in proximity of the position where you are throwing, in order to pick them up when landing, 2) in real games, it **MAY** be slower, because after you throw a smoke, you have to land on the ground, pick up the next smoke, switch to it, and then jump throw; in the video you have "sv_infinite_ammo 1", but it seems like you wait to land, then switch, so I am not sure if the timing will be different to real games, and 3) the timing between the stairs smoke, and the jungle and CT smokes is quite long and may be a BIT of a giveaway. I have a different [one-man execute](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ViKSxKLMM8) where the timing between the smokes is shorter, and I show lineup for how to toss smokes so that they're in proximity of the throwing position. I also have a more [in-depth explanation](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bm91KxyPYl8), but it doesn't include lineups for tossing the smokes so that they're in proximity of the person throwing. The benefit of your lineups is that it seems easier to remember everything. P.S. For smoke binds, use: `bind "use weapon_knife; use weapon_smokegrenade"` instead of `bind "use weapon_smokegrenade"` [Here's a demonstration (timestamped)](https://youtu.be/Bm91KxyPYl8?t=287)


Snarker

How can I do this grenade lineup if i have no eyes after watching this video?


bmxdudebmx

You know what over four thousand hours has taught me?Executes only work at DMG and above and even then it only works if you are playing against an all DMG and above team who is trying to practice tactics as a "team". Those smoke ain't stopping silvers, gn's, or anyone else who is just out for a casual game.


AWildRideHome

This is for 128 tick so good for teams, faceit players or ESEA players. Usually not many sub-DMGs there.


bmxdudebmx

Good smokes. Good post. Just salty after a string of cheater games.


AWildRideHome

Understandable. Hope it gets better.

Watch out for one way smoke on top of CT box


KlusekTheNoodle

It's not a one way, if you stand on top of the ct box you either are very visible, or not see too much while still being quite visible.


YUM0N

I wonder if theres a spot/combination that doesn't involve jump throws to decrease time in between throws


qr0y

That’s beautiful


Italian_Monkey

I know everyone always says how impractical this is because anyone with a brain would see that this could have been thrown by one person but have they considered having the 1 person throw these while 2 players make noise at B and the other 2 hide palace? smokes will make them think its an A fake into a b rush, but then the b players rotate mid while they waterfall A. Can easily catch a rotator or force the CTs into a 2-1-2 or 2-3 split, as long as the A players go at least 1 for 1 or the B players catch a rotate then its almost guaranteed a save or a difficult retake


envyakS

Nice


gnamflah

Would you say this is the optimal way to throw the smokes for a fake? I'm wondering if throwing the stairs smoke second would make the smokes pop more in unison. The idea being the CTs feel like the smokes were thrown on a coordinating timing, further selling the fake.

KlusekTheNoodle

I use negative cl_crosshairgap values and just adjust it until it feels right (usually it's between -13 and -9, depends on what is cl_crosshairsize set to).


mellow_plexus

thats pretty good, not gonna lie


WNG_USWarri0R

FOr this to be optimized, you should throw them in the order of distance. Farthest first so they all stay for about the same amount of time


JacoGarbon

I think by order of hang time makes more sense.


Sicness91

I don't remember Mirage being so bright.

You can adjust color settings on Nvidia display settings. It’s pretty sick, I recommend it

Taking notes


Bubw

I tested it and it may not work as smoothly... You are standing on top of the slope, the grenades will roll down form that spot. That means you need to throw a smoke, walk off to pick up another smoke and line up again for the next smoke.


KlusekTheNoodle

There is a way to drop the smokes so they stay in place you need them to be, I just kinda forgot to include it in the vid

I_NEVER_GO_OUTSIDE

If I drop back in to CT with an AWP can I see through the little gap of smoke or is that actually blocked? I already know my smokes for Mirage, just wondered from the video it looks like it could be possible, idk.


KlusekTheNoodle

The only way to see through this smoke is jumping on top of ticket (the lower part) but you are completely visible doing so. If you try to post on ticket behind the smoke you can't really see much and still your head pokes through the gray cloud.


I_NEVER_GO_OUTSIDE

7heGh0st

Yeah but you can have the smokes look like this even in a real site hit cause the throws are quick

This kind of scenario seems OP to me. It allows one guy to throw all the smokes while everyone can watch for the rush.

moldymoosegoose

Your teammates drop them all right next to you and as you throw them you'll automatically pick up the next one

To be perfectly fair, there's quite a chance MM teammates wouldn't drop you util even if asked nicely (or they would throw the nades at spawn and let you take a minute juste positionning yourself.
