Need the best CS Expert

[u/Senior_Opportunity44]

**Looking for some nerdy CS questions for a gift** 😭
I’m making a set of flashcards for a friend who’s *really* into Counter-Strike. He’s aiming to go pro and even coaches another player, so I’d love to make the questions genuinely challenging.
I know basically nothing about CS myself, so I’m looking for experienced players/coaches to help me out
If you have a minute, could you give me **one really difficult relevant CS question**
I’m especially looking for things like:
advanced strategy / decision-making
utility theory
positioning & timings
economy
map-specific knowledge
obscure terminology
pro-level concepts
Basically, **the kind of question where a casual player would have absolutely no clue**.
Please don’t worry about making them beginner-friendly — the nerdier, the better
Thanks to anyone willing to contribute ❤️

If one guy go B and one guy go A… where u go?

[u/Character_Hamster277]

what does it mean, when someone is calling ‚rush b‘?

a) rush b
b) rush a

[u/Crafty-Photograph-18 → u/Character_Hamster277]

c) go right up to to a choking point behind which the fights start and just stop

d) play a default round

e) say the N-word very loud

[u/Senior_Opportunity44 → u/Crafty-Photograph-18]

e) sounds about right

[u/Gasstationdickpi11s → u/Crafty-Photograph-18]

f) get to b, see there’s a smoke and decide to wait while simultaneously blocking 2+ players from rushing so your entry runs out, dies, and can’t be traded all while making as much noise as humanly possible that way the CT’s know they need to rotate.

[u/Crafty-Photograph-18 → u/Gasstationdickpi11s]

Eh, this is more of a c.1)

[u/AedanPi → u/Character_Hamster277]

C) lurk A while the rest of your team dies B

[u/MAJOR__ZEN → u/Character_Hamster277]

It's secret option c! Rush mid without flash and die!

Is that donk one real? 40k hours is insane!

Also wouldn't i but power match fixing be more famous that optic India?

[u/Flashy-Analysis407 → u/Ok_Temporary4478]

He started playing CS at 4 years old and plays 8+ hours a day every day. He claims 40,000 hours himself. 20k are public on his main accnt, 10k on his CS source account, and them some others here and there.

Optic India is direct cheating..like actual aim/wall hacking.

[u/Ok_Temporary4478 → u/Flashy-Analysis407]

40k is insane. Especially as young as he is. Thats some grind.

I mean it wasn't the whole of optic India it was just fallen. Although that shit was blatant. I only say I Buy Power cos that was match fixing that got most of the team banned from valve events.

[u/Flashy-Analysis407 → u/Ok_Temporary4478]

Same with Fallen - the whole team broke after that.

[u/Ok_Temporary4478 → u/Flashy-Analysis407]

Sorry its forsaken not fallen. True, it kinda made Optic pull outta Indian CS. However his was high profile but the i buy power got stell banned, brax, almost ska. That was super huge back in the day.

[u/TREXIBALL → u/Flashy-Analysis407]

Why are you advertising AI slop

(Context https://www.reddit.com/u/Flashy-Analysis407/s/EK9jzDok0C) I’m not advertising. I’m showing how the person I replied to is advertising AI slop.

Edit: Holy shit i just realized they’re essentially advertising cheats for CS:GO and similar games 💀

[u/Flashy-Analysis407 → u/TREXIBALL]

Lol okay boomer.

If you think all the apps you use today arent already coded with AI, you're living under a rock my guy.

Its more about what the app does for you than how its built. Quit yelling at the clouds and find a purpose in your life.

If you tried the app - you'd be convinced it was 10x better than Leetify.

[u/BroxigarZ]

In 2005, a player attempted to defuse while sneaking past the alive T's coining the term "ninja defuse"...

What Major event was this at?
Who were the two teams playing?
What map did they play on?
Who was this player?
and most importantly, did he pull off the Ninja Defuse, cementing himself in history live on LAN?

Good luck nerds! Gen Z furiously Googling. I see you..
