-In counter strike there are a terrorist(T) side and a counter terrorist(CT) side.
-You will start on either or depending on the game and each game goes for 12 rounds on each side until a team wins 13 rounds or there is a tie(when score is 12-12).
-Your goal as a T is to plant the bomb and have it explode or to kill all CTs.
-Each round you buy guns and earn money to win the next round and so on.
-The game compensates winners with more money and losers with some money.
-ECONOMY IS KEY.

-Every game and half(12 rounds) you start with a pistol and 800 dollars
-Pistol rounds are important becuase, if you win you get the upper hand on the enemy with money and they either have to buy nothing or force which could make them more poor if they lose.
-Planting the bomb as a T gives you lots of money so even if you will lose, still go for a bomb plant
-As you win more rounds it gives you headroom to lose 1 or two or to buy expensive guns such as the AWP
-You want to get as many kills as you can because, kills give you 300$ each
-Utility also costs lots of money so if you want a good gun but no utility it poses a risk rather than buying a ok gun and all utility
