Hey guys,

I got over 1k hours now on CSGO and my awping is extremely poor so I'm trying to put some energy into improving it. Couple of questions I have:

1. Is there any reason why I should be quick switching to my knife instead of my pistol after a shot? It seems to me that if I want to continue awping after I've taken a shot I wouldn't quick switch at all because it's slightly faster to wait for the gun to re-scope itself, also switching to the pistol seems more useful than the knife?

2. Should I be crouching as much as possible when taking shots? I can strafe shoot very effectively with the AK but I find that when I crouch shoot with the awp the shots are far more accurate and you are able to very quickly move from the crouch after you shoot. But watching people I notice that they don't crouch as often as I do when awping.
