However, much we admire CS:GO players, how can we practice to become as good as them? First, you have to learn how to land shots in situations. Then you will learn about strategies in CS:GO. The game is not just about charging in trying to hit every shot. Utilities exist for the exact reason.

In the latest update to CS:GO on September 19, Valve has introduced more consoles to help with practicing. More specifically, the consoles affect throwing grenades by assisting with the pattern and trajectory.

Csgo Update Consoles 04 — CS:GO consoles are pretty useful when practicing

There are 3 new console commands available only in practice. It is pretty good for practicing using utilities. The 3 consoles have different uses regarding situations:

cl_grenadepreview: shows the grenade’s trajectory or traveling path while you are about to throw it. It is most effective when you are finding angles to throw a smoke grenade to a specific location. It will point out which way the grenade goes after leaving your hand.

Csgo Update Consoles 01 — The console shows the trajectory even before you throw a grenade

cl_sim_grenade_trajectory: freezes the trajectory for a number of seconds. This is particularly useful when you are throwing long-ranged grenades. When the trajectory freezes, you can follow where it goes and understands the pattern better.

All in all, more assistance from the game will help players learn the game much faster. This is indeed a good effort from Valve to adapt to the needs of players.
