[ARTICLE] Basic habits when stepping up to a higher tier level of play:

[revive]

prrrrrretty sure re-peaking and random pushing is all a part of source!

[BaptismalPrawn]

inb4 lol HR-Gaming

but its all about timing. If you have clue there aren't any rules.. cause you play a situation on how it feels.

[rumLey]

I'm a pretty agressive player, has advantages and disadvantages

[revive]

Baptismal Prawn you're dumb

[dannyGrim]

OK just re-read some of it.

Keep in mind that the moving player has the advantage in source and 1.6, so it is in your favor to take advantage of a prefiring situation..

Online yeah... that in itself is a bad habit for when you go to lan play... I hold lines online and quite often get smashed by the running man, but when it came to lan my line holding often resulted in 2-4 mans

nice read mohammed.

ironic you mean?

I think the biggest thing to do, is the unexpected. Its when the enemy doesn't expect you to push around the next corner, or to have rushed/pushed past their flash and into their face, or when you've changed position from a well held ground... that they won't have the reaction time to stop your bullet in their face.

Granted, I do this way too much atm and it ends up being too risky usually, but I'm working on the balance.

Can the both of you honestly just an hero. I'm so sick of seeing your posts, you're not trolls, you're faggots. If you want to troll, take lessons from SHo or stEEdy.

On-topic: Was a good read moey, agree with nearly everything that was said, I catch myself doing this stupid shit sometimes.

Basically the main thing your saying is if your holding and get a kill, to not agro for further kills. While this seems logical and the 'smart' thing to do, it really cant be used as a set rule as it wont apply to some situations.. probably not even the majority of them.

The game is too dynamic for anything specific to apply all the time, but an aggressive push should only be done if:

a) you have nothing to lose
b) you have everything to gain

A good player will know their limits and be able to assess these factors in real time when the need arises.

Its 100% true in and out tho. A lot of players don't think 10seconds ahead.

[k1ngovkatz]

i played 1.6 pug today, he raged at me for strafe awping

[TotalEclipse]

Did enjoy the read Moey, even if it is an old article.

But with experience you can usually not have to access a situation as you know most possible outcomes already.

I think the basic crux of the article is to play to percentages.

Of course in any position there are at least 10 different situations you could be in and in 4 of them breaking general 'rules' of what to do, is the right thing.

Always play to stack the odds in your favour. If it involves you staying alive and falling back so your team can perform a quick clean-up retake, then you should be doing that. If you need to take a risk to pick off two enemies before they take too much controlling map area, then you should be doing that.
etc.

Exactly. Play the odds and play to keep your opponent off-guard e.g. Pushing as a T with bomb down on a 1v2 when you know he's alone to put you into a 1v1.

I know it's an epic bump but...

• Re peaking
• Unnecessary pushing

pretty sure my entire team does this and it pays off because it makes you unpredictable e.g if your a T rushing jungle and your team mate dies in front of you, you assume s/he isn't going to push so you pull out a nade flash w/e and the Ct peaks you, profit.

That's why you lost to infamous or w/e the other day. It's RISK:REWARD situation. Usually it's better to hold or move position, Rather than launch and push randomly. Obviously it can work but if it's good team vs good team, Then you are going to lose that reward(unless you are padz).

I think it's good in certain positions not only map wise, Carpets, ramps.. etc but also situation wise, If a T is planting they are 'disabled' from the gameplay. So if it's 2v1 and one of the two t's is planting, It's really a 1v1 so it's okay to take advantage of that.

basically this.

article was written over a year ago haha, but I bet I could re-write it much better now and would scrap alot of things.

Like numky said, it's risk:reward and deciding whether to take that risk or not comes down to a LOT of things such as whether your team is currently in the advantage of the round or not.

err Ok numk, you guys hold passive that's why you lost to variaNt 16-1 etc (stupid card to play).

[numky]

We lost to variant because we had to play with a 6th that we just picked up and we weren't prepared. NOTHING todo with pushing or risk:reward >_> LOLZ
