Counter Strafe Elite Steam Group for Talented Players

What Is Counter Strafing?
Counter-strafing involves quickly tapping the opposite movement key to halt your movement. For example:

If you're moving left (A key), you tap right (D key) briefly to stop instantly.

This cancels your momentum and lets you fire accurately faster than just letting go of the key.

Why It Matters:
Helps achieve first-shot accuracy in duels.

Essential for peeking and shooting quickly from cover.

Gives a competitive edge in high-level play.

Counter Strafing in CS2 vs CS:GO:
CS2 has slightly tweaked movement and shooting mechanics, making counter-strafing still important, but slightly more forgiving.

CS2’s updated engine might slightly reduce the reliance on perfect counter-strafing timing, but manual precision is still valuable.

How to Practice:
Use training maps or practice servers.

Strafe left/right and practice tapping the opposite key before firing.

Focus on getting accurate first shots after moving.
