Remia Aotsuki Backseats SinisterDoodle in Counter-Strike 2, Trading Tips on Buys and Mirage

VSPO — Remia Aotsuki, a talent with VSpo’s English branch, spent a Counter-Strike 2 stream backseating SinisterDoodle, the two talking through positioning, team economy and map knowledge as the matches ran.

She opened by saying she was “chilling backseating” and might play one game herself. The pair settled how to share their screens over Discord and put a small “Doodle POV” label on the stream before the first round began.

The advice came round by round. On an early bomb rush, one voice said the plan was risky because the rest of the team had not committed, and that the player carrying the bomb would do better to leave it with a teammate, so the team could still rotate with it if the lead player died. On buying, the rule given was to buy normally, but to hold back when teammates are not buying. Others covered moving faster to open up space with a Mac-10, calling a rotation through the mid area, and walking less noisily after the group noticed a lot of stepping.

Later the talk turned to the map Mirage, which one of them said gave them trouble every time. They went through how to hold as an anchor on the A site, staying behind the box when an enemy swings out, and how to clear the Palace area on the attacking side by pre-aiming a tight angle and waiting for teammates coming up the ramp.

Before ending the stream, Remia said she hoped what she had said made sense. A lot of it felt like common sense to her, she said, only because she had played so much, and it can be hard to put into words once it has become muscle memory. She said she was tired and had been struggling to sleep, and that she planned to finish the stream with a raid on another streamer’s channel.
