If you can flawlessly coordinate 3-4 people like that then why not just run a perfectly executed, incredibly complicated strat...

Because complicated strats require effort. Bum rushing somebody at normally impossible speeds, bobbing and weaving until you nail him in the face with a shotgun requires no effort, and also has zero consequences. Besides, the team in the video play right next to each other and presumably have prearranged tactics, so two people slingshotting at once wouldn't be that tough.

Effort doesn't matter to these teams. They spent years analyzing maps and game play mechanics just to get into the highest CGS level.

If they want to develop a strat where two people slingshot into the CT side ramp room, they can.
But also, they aren't playing against pubbers, they are playing against other CGS level teams. They know whats up and they know how to counter it, as Pineapple said. And no CGS team would ever use a shotgun, unless they were flat broke and were truly amazing with it.

Thank you, Rudy.

I could've sworn i was arguing with a wall here.

Well not exactly because you can't have half of 5 as a whole number, but seeing as how it takes 2 people to make this work you could slingshot 2 people, or 4 if you just wanted to keep lining them up, but that sounds like a dumb plan because yuo would probably get flanked and shot in the butt before the third guy left the roof.

Say you wanted to slingshot two people on nuke. Understand that TWO CGS players STANDING STILL watching the flank, will 99.9% of the time, not miss, if a flanker should come. btw, CGS CT's, WILL NOT FLANK. They sit where they are, and not risk getting trapped into a situation like that.

The one person that is the slingshot fires one off.
He moves back then lets his teammate hop on his head and he slingshots him.

This all takes place within the first 4-7 seconds of a round, because they bhop from T spawn to the boxes to hop on the roof.

Then the people watching the flank moves towards ramp room, and they take it from both sides. The awper that was slingshotted picks headshot box, and the riflemen checks smallbox. They rush into B site and one guy sticks with the bomb while the other two split up Danger door and Bio door and make sure it is clean. They hold the doors, and continue. The AWP'er that was slingshotting can either:

A) Go outside and pick the confused CT, then advance to CT warehouse and make sure that no T's enter the vents (Go watch a CGS match like DallasVenom VS 3D.NY, Their awper's won't miss unless its AWP VS AWP)

B) Hit ramproom with the two people watching the flank and sit behind HS box to prevent flankers from ramproom.

No problem man, I follow these teams just as much as you do, or maybe more.
