    By the time I’m done lining up the pixel-perfect 12-step geometry class smoke, some dude has already wide-swung Banana and sent me straight to spectator mode.

    You don't throw this at the beginning of the round. This is a mid-round smoke for when the 2nd B player wants to go A early.

    Its not a "start of the round"-smoke.

    It didn’t seem to spread as good as the other 30+ videos I’ve seen of this smoke the past week

    It's funny that the first player I saw throw this smoke (FlameZ) was killed with a boost in barrels in crucial round during a BO5 against Furia. This smoke would have saved him.

    Only have to tank a molly, 6 flashes and 3 nades. Should be doable.

    yeah cool smoke for maybe to stop a possible rotate. in all other scenarios useless

    Even then, a normal smoke will function basically the same. I mean i guess they could boost or shoot from barrels, but you can safely throw and hold a ground smoke that prevents them from pushing easily.

    Everyone flaming about having to tank nades to throw this doesn’t know ball honestly. There are plenty of scenarios you could make use of this. Maybe not in a solo queue pug but certainly if you have a proper teammate with or in higher level team CS

    the advantage you gain from it is so small i dont think its worth the time? why not land a smoke on the half wall instead? quite sure it would also eliminate the enemy barrel boost potential

    That’s not necessarily the only point of this (and it should only take 2 seconds to learn).

    You should also know a halfwall smoke that you would do with other top banana retake utility. This could be used shortly after doing top retake to push back control and fight deeper. When a smoke creates a solid backdrop it makes it a lot easier to have a teammate flash you into contested space and kill any Ts in front of said smoke.

    This could be used as a second stage for banana retake on CT side when you want to get a bit more active. Downside is that if you did it that way then you have used 2 valuable smokes for potentially no kills if Ts let you do it and they could run a quick pop on you immediately after when you wouldn’t be in a great position to stop it.

    You would use this against a team that it slow defaulting taking until like 40 seconds every round before they actually do something and you know there is a good chance that you can claw back banana control and maybe kill whoever they have to maintain pressure on banana. If that works around the 1 minute mark they basically have to gear up with something significant to challenge back or just go A.

    Exactly as I am laughing about the comments claiming you are going to eat nades and mollies.... Clearly, if you are throwing nades into this specific spot when trying to rush B, you might as well save yourself the money because the CT cant even get there in time for that...

    I mean yeah, you simply wouldn’t use this if you aren’t pretty confident that it is safe to do so. There is also the point to consider that if the opponent sees the smoke get thrown then they immediately know where you are, which you can also use to your advantage. Just gotta have an actual plan but I know the majority of folks in this sub are lower level puggers.

    When playing as a Terrorist on inferno, why would you throw any nades in that specific spot when the CT can't even get into that spot in the beginning of the round.... Most of the time, the nades + mollies are thrown to cover the areas below.... Do you see the pink attempt at a circle?

    Easy to do this without a hundred Molly’s and nade’s being yeeted at you.

    As a CT playing B, a molly + nade should be a priority to the first things you buy.. This is the only reason I like playing inferno as the util damage from those helps holding B so much easier.

    You were saying?

    by the time you line that up you've already eaten 2 nades and are standing in a moli.

    Oh and how do you throw a molly into that spot as a terrorist as wouldn't it make more sense to molly sandbags since that corner is a much easier duel since it is an easy prefire... A CT at sandbags can get you off angle....

    Can anybody explain why the fuck these smokes on Banana are being forced down my throat on social media? How are they better than a regular smoke? Last time I checked the characters were still not 4 meters tall so I don't see the point of this.

    As for the boost on logs - you can't play corner with this smoke anyway since it lands awkwardly deep.

    There is also a good one from T spawn that really helps with mollies the CT's try throwing when rushing B.

    Btw thanks for the one you posted as I had no idea about it

    Edit Wtf is with the hatred on this thread smh... Being negative and replying with stupid nonsense doesn't help you grow as a player.

    "If you don't have anything good to say, don't say it. The world has enough negativity as it is. Just shutup and keep it to yourself."
