well being that the original comment was about team communication breaking down and the team being unreasonable I think it is perfectly fine to mute people. you can still call stuff out with voice_enable 0 afaik. I would kick you for having unreasonable expectations in mm, noob.

A jump script wouldn't be allowed.
But it's a lot easier to bunnyhop on 128 tick.

Just do some Faceit pugs, honestly it can't be worse than going matchmaking, and that's 128 ticks. I like doing these when I can't find something better to do, because that's better servers, a level that's quite as random as MM anyway. Think of it as MM with 128. Oh and there's overtime (I find it frustrating to just end on a 15-15 scoreline...).

1. Difference between terrorist and CT?
Terrorists are attackers, CTs are defenders, teams in a match will play both sides, 15 rounds each side, first to 16 wins.

2. How does economy play in competitive matches.
Money carries over after each round, winning gets you more money, more money gets you better guns. Losing gives you less money, less money buys you less/weaker guns.

3. Why do people move with their knives and swinging it?
"You run faster with a knife. Everyone runs faster with a knife" :D. Movement speed is based on your currently equipped weapon. Knife is the lightest, so you run the fastest.

People swing it cause when you're running, there's nothing else to do until you reach your destination so they play around with the knife.

4. What's the bomb for?
Bomb is the objective of the game. Terrorists attack one of two areas, to try and blow it up with the bomb. CT's try to defend those areas, or retake the area to stop/defuse the bomb from being planted/exploding.

5. What's the strategic aspect of flash grenades and Molotov's.
It's harder to shoot people when blind, so flash grenades act to blind opponents so you can shoot people who are blind and can't shoot back.

You die walking into fires, so molotovs block off certain areas, or can flush campers hiding in an area with fire. It's for position control.

6. In dota, there are roles like support, offlaner, mid and carry. What roles are there in csgo?
Sort of, not really. People tend to group them as "Sniper, Entry Fragger, In Game Leader, Rifler/Supports"
Sniper: self explanatory, tries to get the AWP as much as possible, but also has to be a capable Rifler.
Entry Fragger: usually first to go in for Terrorists, they go in gung-ho and kind of act as bait for his teammates following to flush out positions of defenders, and ideally kill them.
In Game Leader: self explanatory, the point guard, calls the shots, watches the minimap, gathers info from his teammates and decides on a plan of action based on immediate situation.
Rifler/Supports: All 5 players on the team technically need to be able to do this as well. They throw the grenades in to take control of the areas of the map and stuff.

7. What's the format for tournament matches? Teams veto and choose maps?
Typically there's group stages, which vary depending on tournaments, and can be bo1 or bo3 or GSL style. Map vetoes in the end also vary on tournament, but similar to the pick/ban phase in dota I think. ie: team 1 vetoes a map, team 2 picks a map, team 2 vetoes a map, team 1 picks a map. remaining map in pool becomes the last map to be played. something like that.

8. Are all knives the same? I see some with a dagger, some with switchblade, some with karambit.
They're the courier skins of dota. Expensive and purely cosmetic.

Thanks! So CT can win by either 1) killing all the T, 2) defusing the bomb, and 3) timer runs out? Whereas T wins by either 1) killing all the CT or 2) bombing area A or B.
Yeah.

So does the economy style somewhat support snowballing? A team with better guns is likely to win more, and hence continue to have better guns? What are some strategy teams do? Do they deliberately play with pistols first or something?
Sort of, but there are ways around it. The team with better guns aren't invincible, so if they're killed, they will have to rebuy their weapons/equipment, keeping their economy low.

There will be rounds where a team without the money to buy guns, to deliberately not buy anything, so they save that money for the round after, and use two rounds worth of money to buy decent weapons/equipment. Casters will say they're on a save round, or a partial buy.

There's also a round loss bonus, the more consecutive rounds you lose, the more money you receive. Losing 1 round only gives you $1400, losing 2 rounds gives you $1900, and so on, until it caps out at $3400 I think. Terrorists also get a bomb plant bonus (if they plant, but the bomb gets defused) of +$800 to every team member.
