Whilst utility is perhaps most commonly used as a way to gain or regain space it can also be fatal if used to perfection. Having a gunfight leaves you vulnerable to get shot yourself, however, with HE grenades and even molotovs you are able to kill your opponent without ever seeing them and allowing them a chance to kill you.

Without knowing the position of his opponent the Astralis rifler “Bubzkji” throws a “blindnade”. Unfortunately for “Jonji” and Bad News Bears the grenade left him with no chance to do anything at all and the round ended with a satisfying boom.
Utility and Astralis have almost become synonymous after they first reinvented the way of playing “banana” on Inferno. Take a look at the video down below and see some of the best nades from Astralis as well as many other different pros:
