The whole faking the bomb or sticking it situation is so funny, because its basically just about luck as Steel pointed out. But a pretty good way to play it is to figure out in your head how many seconds it takes you to peek the assumed defuser. So lets say you are a mere second away from peeking the defuser, wait about 4 seconds in your head before peeking to see if the guy is actually defusing, if he is not then back to cover. you get the point. Ofcourse you need to be fast about shooting him if he is actually defusing or you will look silly when he gets the defuse. If you hear the CT smoking the bomb its best to give yourself a little more time because it might be hard to figure out the exact spot to shoot the defuser in the smoke. Anyways great video Josh for the lower ranked players this is definitely something they should be aware about. And as for us supreme/global guys its a great refresher even though everyone of us should already know these things :) KEEP IT UP!
Something I thought about and have used once or twice is fake ninja defuse. Let's say bomb is planted main, you know that the terrorist knows you probably will have to tap the bomb and will wait out. Well, if I need to kill the terrorist, and don't want to risk sticking it, I'll throw a smoke on the bomb and either tap it, or just immediately move to the side of the smoke. The terrorist will think you're sticking it for a ninja and is gonna peek out and start pre spraying, listening to footsteps and just predicting where he's at, just mow him down as he sprays at the smoke. If you don't want to smoke on the bomb, just throw a smoke near it. Just the sound of the smoke is loud enough to mask the sound of defusing and the T's is gonna have to peek out just in case the smoke is on the bomb. You should do this if you have 10-15 seconds left on the bomb. The small window of time and that it requires an unused smoke makes this a somewhat rare occurance, but if you find yourself in this situation just remember what that random guy on youtube said.
steel, do you prefer a more slow sensitivity, so that you have the best control with what's in front of you and in long distance, or a relatively high sens that allows you to quickly do 180's and flick behind?
Situation: 1 v 1, T plants bomb, full hp, goes to A main and just waits there for the CT to start defusing. The CT is low (1-45hp for instance). In most cases, would it be wise to stick the defuse instead of faking and going for the engagement because you are most likely going to loose the duel as a CT? (m4 needs 2 hits to opponents with Helmet).. What i want to say is, they are more likely to stick if they are low :D
+Monkey ►Gaming Channel◄ I think that on ESEA and other platforms that run a ESL script, you can't read how low a target is. So in pug situation if a teammate does not give you the info, you can't know if he is low or not. He might even pick up a AK aswell, so its very situational to say that they are going to stick it if they are low. Good point though.
+CahiloPlays There are not that many choices. You can force up and go for a round win/bomb plant/or try to get guns. Some teams like to run smoke starts on sites and just get the bomb down, some teams like to swarm a site after forcing to try and get a round. So there is not a whole lot you can do. But most strategies involve breaking your own economy to complete either of those objectives.

KEEP IT UP!
"balls of steel"
this series is the best series for people who really wants to get better! keep it going steel
btw u guys can use the steam overlay to remember when the bomb is planted and calculate when it will explode
who else thought the title was planting the bomb i must be stupid
+verox CSGO Well, he still could make a video about that. You need to plant the bomb in the optimal position when you get on site.
+patmaster2077 but that's quite basic
And playing the bomb isn't?
+patmaster2077 good point
+patmaster2077 but it's more basic than playing the bomb
Damn these tutorial videos are getting good, what to do when u have Done them all
+Elyazz✪CsGo thats gonna take more time than you'd think
+michaelmjh23 ye... Soon there will surely be a tutorial how to aim with awp for the silvers
+Elyazz✪CsGo there is way too much small details/tricks and plays in CS. he can get this going for another year probably
love this series, thank you for being so smart and clear on the topic you're sharing
Thank you for another video Steel

" PLAY TIME DOOOOOD"
"people in matchmaking who are yelling at you" 11/10 accuracy
A great thing to do is to ADAD to spot if the CT is fakedefusing and taking an aggressive angle.
Uhm... yeah... I am surprised there has to be a video about this... I always felt like this is self-explanatory.
steel, do you prefer a more slow sensitivity, so that you have the best control with what's in front of you and in long distance, or a relatively high sens that allows you to quickly do 180's and flick behind?
everyone i play with on comp needs to watch this vid. "play bomb, they dont have much time" *peeks for kill and dies*
I love running around quad on cache.
Don't you also say playing the bomb when it has been dropped and CT take control of it?
idea for next video: wtf is throwing?
+JoshNissan What mousepad do you use and where can i get them ? Please tell me ..
Getting my mousepad for CSGO

Why are you using the HyperX Cloud instead of the Sennheiser G4me Zero at the i55 ?
What is: Throwing. Pls explain.
Good vid josh, keep it up
0:06 Hmm I know someone like that. Can't quite put my finger on who though.
everyone at my rank just sticks it no matter what and even when i do strats to get them off they stay on it, it bothers me so much.
+CS Freity Exactly, why are you complainin? If everybody just sticks it, it's really easy for you :D
playing the bomb must be a NA term cuz we use playing the time and ive never heard playing the bomb
+Michael G I hear Euro casters like Anders and Semmler use the term all the time.
CrushOfSiel ive never noticed oops
What the fuck is playing the bomb?? hello??
thx josh !
balls of steel, hehe
What do to after won/lost the pistolround.
