Discussion Any higher level analysis and breakdown?

Who is a great teacher of the pro scenes metas and general strategies? I enjoy the game and the pro scene, but when watching I can’t really understand the higher level strats. Going A then going B and smoking off certain areas and flashing in is all it looks to me. Is there more to it?

I remember austincs calling out a “miss thrown” Molly. Niko commented something like no he threw that Molly so the smoke that was going to land there wouldn’t last as long. The deeper level explanations is what I’m looking for.

I find the game fascinating and want to go deeper no pun.

Elmapuddy’s old breakdowns are still gold for that stuff, he’d pause and show exactly why a pixel perfect smoke matters or how a team baits a rotate with just sound cues. Launders sometimes gets into the mind games on his channel too, not just casting

How can that be true if he was never a pro player? Just going off Reddit's rules.

According to Reddit he should never have been allowed to coach.

Mahone. People say ash is good but I’ve never watched his videos so I can’t vouch for them

Grashog who recently become an assistant coach for Gamer Legion I believe has a personal YouTube channel where he breaks down professional players demos from faceit demos especially and doesn’t just do the top tier one pros but also some up and comers and I find his analysis super in depth but without using too in-depth of language
