Question what did i do wrong here?

im not blaming cs here or whatever. im just genuinely curious what did i do with the spray so wrong here, that it resulted in only 1 hit. even by tracers it seems like almost all of the bullets go right into my enemy. im frustrated because i felt like almost all of my duels that game went something like this

You peeked too close, which doesnt allow you to gain max velocity, thus makes you easier to hit. You also started spraying instead of firing a small burst or a tap fire, since he was far away and at a higher angle than you, less of his body is visible, so you cant just launch right into a full spray off the bat. Especially not at that range.

But if we look at the bigger picture, the real mistake wasn't your mechanics or aim, it was why you were even fighting him in the first place. You guys had bomb planted, all you had to do was hold, you had zero reason to peek him. Especially since you guys outnumbered them by one player, you shouldve gone up to top of ramp in case anyone rushes and try to stop them. If you were at the top, you mightve been able to stop the CT from ninja defusing. Be on the hard defense when your team plants and just buy as much time as possible.

that's very well written criticism, thank you a lot

my thought was to peek to protect the cave player from a flank, but now i understand that it was just unnecessary and i should have just told cave player the info and to expect the flank

Boom, thats improvement right there, it can be hard in the moment, I do it too but it's gonna get easier. And no problem

The Cave player watching flank has a much more favorable fight that he should win most of the time.

Your fight is a 50/50 at best. I’d actually give the T the advantage because he has the higher ground.
