By: Chris Boutté - Published September 28, 2004 at 2:58 AM EDT - Writer Archive
Ever wonder the step it takes to creating a playbook? In this article we go step by step in constructing an accurate playbook to scout out your opponent. We also take a look into a few different theories about the game that can help in the process. Come inside and check it out.

Introduction

 

Here at the gotfrag headquarters we have one simple task, and this is to please the public and we strive to do so. By doing this we bring any and all features we possibly can, whether it be match breakdowns, player profiles, or even the infamous team playbook feature we release around big tournament times.

Aside from the praise we receive from these in depth playbook features, we also get a lot of negative comments on these. From the public we hear a lot of people saying that it is rather cheap, because we are taking the task away from teams to have to actually scout their opponents. From teams we get a lot of the similar response. Teams getting very angry that we pick on them or make the job easier for everyone else.

Well this article is here to stop all of the conflict that surrounds these articles and prove how simple it is to create these scouting reports of your opponents.

In this day and age of the Counter-Strike gaming community it is so simple to get a hold of demos against your opponents it is disgusting. Not only that, but the excuse of teams not having the same lineup now is pretty much moot, many top teams have kept at least a solid 3 for over 6 months and that can easily be enough to scout off of.

How long do you think it takes to sit down and create a playbook on a single team? It seems like it takes hours upon hours and days at a time to construct doesn't it? Wrong. If you know what keys to look for a single in-depth playbook can be created in about 4-5 hours.

In this article I am here to instruct teams on how to create an in-depth as well as effective playbook.

The resources are there. Are you willing to take the time to study your opponent?
