Economy is one of the most important mechanics in Counter-Strike, and now former pro and coach Niels Christian “NaToSaphiX” Sillassenis is here to help you understand it better.

In a newly released YouTube video, the Danish coach introduces a simple system for tracking opponents’ economy, using a card-counting-inspired approach. The idea is to give players an easy way to read the money situation without overcomplicating things mid-game.

NaToSaphiX also shares practical in-game tricks, like useful settings and habits for staying one step ahead when it comes to buys, drops, and resets.
