The good thing about many of those across the map throws is it's just rote memorization, set up a grenade practice bind, jump onto dust ii T side, hop on car, align smoke, throw smoke, smokes off corner every time. Of course it's slow as hell compared to doing the running throw from a different spot but it's one of the easier ones to learn.

Yeah that sounds like the one. The car to long corner is one of the few ones I bothered to learn, not like it's a huge deal since I don't play comp at all, but it's a little surprising how easy it is to do. I think making a bind to go into grenade practice mode and then tossing out grenades is more trouble than most people feel comfortable with despite how easy it is, ultimately, and it shows by the amount of people who know the maps, are familiar with all the weapons and general techniques but have not a single nade to their name.

That corner smoke and two nice flashes will get you pretty far in most matches. The smoke and two flashes for B tunnel on T side are harder to learn imo, but they help as well of course. Adren's videos on dust 2 nades helped me learn all of these. The catwalk portions are really good.

This is basically how I throw my corner smoke. It's consistent. Doesn't take long to setup.
Run to the shadow for the power line that goes overhead.
Stop on the shadow.
Line up the open edge of the right door with the middle of the arch thing inside. Just like this picture.
Go straight above and inline with the edge of the door to the height of the light off to the right.
Throw.
Keep running & get some kills.

yeah long corner is pretty easy to hit without stopping at all using the power lines as a guide. if i spawn close i throw it on a direct run and get a kill or two most of the time, or at least get us pushed out of the doors

Well if you have two accounts, you might as well just use 2 twitch windows (one in an incognito window), which is what I am doing since I still had an old unused twitch account to link my smurf to. As far as using the same Steam account several times (ingame, twitch, MLG) goes, that doesn't add anything. Your SteamID is either eligible for a drop or it isn't, it can't be on the list more than once.

I put a small bet on basically every underdog for day one and will do so for day two as well. I find that to be more fun that trying to get cents on the dollar for something like Lumi over Mouz (or Fnatic over Splyce at 0.06 for 1 lol)

If nothing else at least Dust II cases will actually be worth a decent amount.

surf any Tier 1 servers you can, and keep doing that until you finally maybe complete kitsune with a really lovely 15 minute time, then keep doing that until you get almost decent at it

then go play a Tier 2 surf map server and repeat the process

Probably depends on whether gtr f0rest and Friberg remember how to dominate the CS scene.
