Techniques
Jump-throw
Releasing a grenade at the apex of a jump. Required for most precise smoke / flash lineups. Most pros bind a key to do it consistently.
Techniques
Jiggle peek
Quickly stepping into and out of an angle to test for an AWPer or pre-aim. Bait the shot without committing to the duel. Combined with counter-strafing for instant retreat.
Techniques
Shoulder peek
Showing a small slice of your character to bait an AWP shot, then counter-strafing back to cover before the AWPer can re-fire. Costs you the round if mistimed.
Techniques
Counter-strafe
Tapping the opposite movement key (D after A) to instantly halt momentum. Essential for "stop-shooting" — you stop, fire, your bullet has full standing accuracy.
