Kenny's Quick Tips: Stop Running with Your Knife Out

Stop running with your knife out. 

Yes, even though your Doppler Phase 3 Fac New Bayo may be the coolest thing that's ever happened to you, it will not get you kills. In fact, one of the most common mistakes I see at the intermediate level is an obsession with pulling out a knife to go relatively short distances, especially when the route is not guaranteed safe.

I think people sometimes forget how small CSGO maps are. Most full rotates can be completed in under twenty-five seconds. In rounds that last almost two minutes, there's often room to slow down your gameplay.

Your character runs 250 units/second with a knife out. This is the max possible ground speed (i.e. not bhopping or air strafing). This is 11% faster than running with an M4A4/M4A1-s at 225 units/second and 16% faster than the movement speed of an AK-47 at 215 units/second.
