The Mirage window smoke has been crucial since the launch of CS:GO, with players constantly seeking to improve it.
I go through the Evolution of the Mirage Window Smoke, an 8 year process that pushed the limits of what the scene knew about creating nade lineups.

This is my first long-form video that digs into more of the history of how CS tactics evolve over time. What did you think of this video and would you like to see more? Let me know what you’d be interested in! Edit: There is a bot going around in the comments pretending to be me. I will only ever communicate using this account, so please do not message or interact with them!

@nihalguron97 Год назад

This kind of content is great. I’d love to see the change in utility and play styles on different maps over the years.

Snax must have thrown it by pressing W+A while crouched to make use of wallstrafing, as well as standing up just before (or by simultaniously) jump-throwing for extra speed. He always had super innovative line-ups like the one for heaven on Nuke where he lined himself up while running out of T spawn. Awesome compilation and great research as usual. Thanks!

@1azey Год назад

nice

@Stoffercss Год назад

Maybe youre right, but you dont wall strafe when pressing w so he would have to press W let go and then press A

@Independent1206 Год назад

@@Stoffercss Since he's angled to the left you'd be able to use w+a to press against the left side wall and get the proper forward movement I think. Coming from a surfing perspective, you'd be able to wall-strafe against the surf block by pressing w+a or w+d, the thing that changes with that is just where you are looking towards.

@z34n Год назад

@@Stoffercss potentially the wall strafe and then presses w after jumping like fl0m’s smoke

After some testing, I found a standing W+A works, no need for crouch. It's kinda inconsistent but cool nonetheless.

i was wonderin what u were cookin up and i was not expecting it but man it did not disappoint, i love how you can see the logic behind each evolution and its really cool to see which players and teams lead innovation and which teams were quickest at stealing new discoveries, i still remember when the instant window smokes came out and how excited you were about the timing windows that opened up so it makes perfect sense for u to make this video there are so many possibilities for a series like this, i think an obvious follow up could be nuke outside smokes because of how much variation there has been there and theres been so much evolution in how teams lurk around the smokes or play thru them

Sometimes I'm asking myself whether or not the Game Devs implement this on purpose and are well aware of these possibilities way before teams find this out and use it (like the exact textures etc. required for the perfect throws) or if this is just something that is randomly there.
