What my dogs taught me about CS
(semi-serious post)
The other day I was sitting in my backyard with my three dachshunds, when one of them got spooked by something and sprinted toward the gate.
However, before turning the corner of the house, she stopped and looked back to make sure her sisters were following her.
Sure enough, they were right behind her.
The moment she saw them, the whole pack charged the gate together.
And I realized... my dogs already understand Counter-Strike better than a lot of people.
If they were on my team, they wouldn't trickle onto a bombsite one by one. They wouldn't take a 1v3 "hero" peek during a man-advantage retake. They'd wait for the rotate, swing together and trade each other.
That's the pack mentality we should all have.
Yes, sometimes your teammates will bait you no matter what. But just as often, it's on you as the entry to make sure they actually can trade you. If you're 30 meters ahead of everyone else, don't be surprised when nobody's there to help.
Don't be a lone wolf.
Be a dachshund.
