[QUIZ] [CSGO] : What Role Should you Play In CSGO ?

The that the single most important job of an entry fragger is to play aggressively in order to create more room for his teammates to execute their strategy. Entry Fraggers need to be good at assessing the situation and listen to their teammates for callouts. It’s crucial that they time the push with the flashbangs that are being thrown by support players. An Entry-Fraggers is usually an individual who has fast reactions and has the ability to clear a lot of angles quickly. They are also good at communicating, as they’ll be the one to get information first. If they do what they’re supposed to do, A team will have more room to work with and know roughly where the enemies are positioned. A player that is classified as an entry fragger has very good crosshair placement, recoil control and generally is the most aggressive player on the team. An excellent Entry Fragger is Paweł ‘byali’ Bieliński who plays for the Polish team Virtus.Pro. When he’s on form I’d say he is a contender for the number one spot in the world when it comes to entry fragging. He can single handedly lay waste to some of the strongest CT setups CS:GO’s ever seen. There is also Jonas ‘Lekr0’ Olofsson from team GODSENT.

The Support AKA Refragger AKA Playmaker's job is to be the second person entering through a choke point and getting the return kill incase the Entry Fragger does not. A refragger can act as a temporary support and flash the entry fragger in. Because of the nature of the role, the support player will often be the last man alive, so it’s important that he or she has good game sense and is creative enough to win 1-on-X situations. A support player should spend a lot of time learning all sorts of grenades and when to throw them. If your in-game leader says that your opponents tend to play from a specific spot, the support player should know a grenade that will make life harder for them in that specific circumstance. In my mind the support player should focus more on the tactical aspect of the game than most players. Support Players can be forgiven for their Aim-sense and they make up for it in there Game Sense. To be a good support player for your team you should be a highly intelligent individual who’s good at reading the game and can adapt to different situations as the play develops. It’s also important that he or she is patient and dedicated enough to learn all the necessary grenades. A support is a player who always puts their team first. These players are rare gems, in my book. Not everyone has what it takes to spend hours upon hours on empty servers trying to perfect grenade throws. There’s not a single pro player who plays support roles in every single round and on all maps, but there are some players that I’d recommend you to watch. Freddy ‘KRIMZ’ Johansson from fnatic is one. He’s one of the smartest players in all of CS:GO. Andreas ‘Xyp9x’ Højsleth from Astralis is another

The lurker is supposed to wander off by themselves and either secure kills or stall the opposing team’s defenders’ rotation over to the site where the main attack is taking place. They should also scout ahead to let the in-game leader know whether it’s a good idea to go for the intended execution or not. There are two primary qualities that a good lurker needs: creativity and good communication. A creative lurker can come up with plays that most other players wouldn’t even consider. Coming up with a play involves good reads of what your opponents are likely to do as well as understanding what they may or may not expect. I’d say your lurker should be a player who trusts their instincts. When I ask the lurker on my team how he came up with a certain play, he often replies with “I don’t know, it just felt right”. Lurking is a highly intuitive endeavor. It takes time to get it right, so don’t beat yourself up if you’re new. The only way to develop this skill is through experience. A good lurker can and in most cases will seal rounds for the team as they can pick up important frags as well as demorolise players and subsequently the team. The best CSGO Lurker is GeT_RiGhT, He is the best in history of CS:GO and Counter-Strike in general. Every CS player can learn things from him.

The job of an awper is to win ranged battles. An awper should have amazing reflex and can hit opponents through the tightest of angles. For the AWP to be a good investment you need to either kill the other team’s AWPer or two riflers. Thats a big responsibility and requires the hardest of men. The most important traits of a good awper are Awareness, Precision, Reactions and Planning. A Good awper knows the map Inside out. A sniper can turn the tide of a game. There are lots of different styles and each one helps the team in its own way. An aggressive peek that results in an entry kill can open up a site and make it a whole lot easier to win the round. With a more passive approach you can hold down a key area on the map and make sure your team is in control. When it comes to AWP:ers there are lots of good Pro players : KennyS, S1MPLE and my favorite Jesper ‘JW’ Wecksell.

The strategy caller is the person who reads the game and adjusts the team and strategies used accordingly. A strat caller has had time with the game and understands timings, positioning and rotations incredibly well. He (she) can make calls on the fly and change a round's outcome in a few seconds. A good In-Game Leader can see through enemy traps clearly, and can guide their team to the execution stage of round with minimal losses. Various Professional In-Game Leaders are also Awpers and Entry-Fraggers. You can see that these roles obtain the "First-Peek" and require good communication, Which are important traits of a Good IGL. In-game leaders should not struggle what to say at the start of a round. I’ve come to realize that it’s not always necessary to have a detailed plan every time your team spawns in. Call a default setup, take your time and get a feel for what kind of defense the opposing team is running. You are also required to know the CSGO Economy system thoroughly. A great In-Game Leader is Gabriel ‘FalleN’ Toledo. He’s probably the player who’s had the biggest impact on the game in recent times. The way he’s transformed the Brazilian CS:GO scene in such a short time is incredible. Another good IGL is Karrigan From FaZe Clan.
