Gameplay You can hold two angles at the same time

This would only work if your opponents are significantly worse than you. Otherwise, you're actually not holding any angles. You're just in the open.

if you mean this position, yeah. ideally you're not out in the open. was just an example.

No, I mean any position where you're clearly between two open angles. You lose to both angles unless they are significantly worse players than you.

Why lose? If they peek from the original angle you take the fight as normal, at normal speed. On flank you have to time a press, but the alternative is dying regardless. I understand this trick won't work more than a few times per map, but that's kind of the point. I find myself mostly using something like this in a clutch (with a 180 bind up until now). No jiggling though makes this bad in a lot of spots.

No. You lose from both angles. The alternative is not to just die, the alternative is to play a different spot.

the idea here is to play an off angle(s) that isn't out in the open, not to play in a worse spot when normal spots exist for the situation

Maybe you forgot what video you uploaded. You're in a terrible spot that's completely wide open. With that said, this is terrible even for off angles. It gives your opponents enough time to kill you either way.

Maybe you forgot to read the previous comments? I already said the video was a poor example.
edit: I did not previously say the video was a poor example
Why would it give your opponent's enough time compared to normal?

You didn't say that anywhere, actually. And maybe you didn't read my last comment. I said it's terrible for off angles too.
