I just wrote a couple paragraphs explaining the best way to peek a corner in CS2 for a new player who was asking questions on Reddit. I figured that I might as well make a video because the things that I was writing are better illustrated in motion than via text. It's probably easier to understand and explain the fundamentals of peeking corners in CS in this format.

0:00 - Intro
0:15 - Peek as fast as possible
1:02 - Never press 'W'
2:18 - Stop as fast as possible
3:09 - Simplify your peek
3:24 - Crosshair placement
4:02 - What to practice
5:48 - Another example
7:04 - What not to do
7:29 - tl;dw? just walk horizontally :)

    Hi everyone, the response to this video has been shockingly positive! I really appreciate all the kind words that are being said here. If you have any questions you want answered or subjects covered in follow up videos, please leave a comment! I’m planning to make a few other similar videos to this one, and want to know what to prioritize. Again, thank you everyone! I did not expect my first video on this channel to reach so many people :) Cheers, matchbox ✌️🤠

    why is ben shapiro teaching me how to peek on mirage
  • @laeioun
    Do also consider shadows. A main on Mirage is a good example. Even though peeking from further back is faster, they see your shadow beforehand, negating the effectiveness of your fast peek.

    I'm 41 and getting back into CS. I played since beta. Had to step away from the game entirely to raise my kids but now that they're older, I'm getting my feet wet again. This video has helped A LOT with getting back into the fundamentals. Subbed! Thanks you for this!
  • @Jailbird830
    Mate... that glove + knife + agent combo is unreal. You have amazing taste! I dream of having a loadout like this one day. Well done.
  • @Unique__Thoughts
    You sound like a less nasally Ben Shapiro. Also you have a cool ak craft 🐐
  • @drkvaladao776
    Very nice, Subscribed! For someone who feels like something is missing when playing, don't get much kills these tutorials are great. Keep them coming!
  • @clay2889
    I'm blown away by the quality of this video of a channel with such few subs. Been playing CS for years and you explained what took me 5 years to learn by myself in just 7 minutes. Well done
  • @sokkejimbo

  • @diktaf
    You've got a knack for explaining things. Thanks for this!
  • @sashaesb
    This is super helpful! I'm just getting back into Counterstrike after, like, 5 years, and I was never that good when I did play anyways. I didn't even know about counterstrafing, and I'm super bad at peeking, so I'm glad I found this video :)
  • @Un1qu3_PL
    Good stuff, mate. Very well explained. It should be basic knowledge, but people still forget about it. There are still things like shadow (dis)advantage/situation/time and other aspects, where you can't afford to enter side clinical like that. But still very well explained. Gonna show it to my son, so he can improve. Thank you for the vid, keep it up, mate!
  • @izuizu8989
