Popping a flash in CS:GO is all about timing and angle. You wanna throw the flashbang in such a way that it explodes just before it comes into the enemy's line of sight. This means either bouncing it off a wall or throwing it high. The goal is for the flash to go off without giving the enemy time to turn away, blinding them and giving you the upper hand. Practice makes perfect, so hit those custom servers and start experimenting with different angles and timings.

Quick tip: bind a key to '+lookatweapon; throw;' in your console. This combo makes your character do a quick weapon inspection before throwing, which slightly changes the throw animation and can make your flash pop even faster. Not everyone's cup of tea, but it's a neat trick.

Just chuck it and hope for the best. Sometimes the no-strat strat is the way to go in CS:GO.

I've been using pop flashes in CS:GO for years, and here's the secret sauce: it's all about understanding the map layout. You need to know where your enemies usually post up. Then, find a nearby wall or corner to bounce your flash off of so it pops right in their face. It's sneaky and effective.
