Remember this table when you start to hunt your last opponent (e.g. 4vs1 situations). If you
die unnecessary, you will lose A LOT money and probably can’t get full equipped next round
or drop weapons for your teammates.

Some simple tips for beginners

The money management of professional teams during their competitive matches is very complex
and hard to explain for beginners. There are a lot of variables, which flow into specific decisions.
We don’t want to simplify and generalize this topic too much – especially because we would like to
present you some basic math for different kinds of rounds, so we will do a very detailed in-depth
guide about more advanced money management together with some professional players. For
this guide here, we would like to concentrate on some basic useful tips for beginners.

•

learn how the economy works (use our handy overview above)

•

take a look at the scoreboard from time to time to get a feeling about the money situation in
your team

•

don’t hit your autobuy hotkeys as soon as you respawn – wait and check if an eco-round is
necessary for your team

•

try to do some simple math during your matches and plan ahead

•

don’t buy too much in eco-rounds, so you are able to get full equipped in the next buy-round
(plan ahead)

•

don’t buy an AK47 or M4 after you won the first round – use SMGs instead ($600 kill-
reward, much cheaper, less risk to lose the round if you die)
