Being an effective member of a team in Counter-Strike:Global Offensive definitely means knowing crucial nade lineups to help a squad either take or retake a given objective.
Every CS:GO player can remember a time when someone on the team calls out a play, just for there to be a deafening silence when they ask: “Does anyone know A smokes,” “Can someone moly that spot,” “can I get a good flash here?”

High elo and pro players typically know most alignments to take sites on popular maps like Mirage, Dust II, Overpass and more, but for all of us that aren’t CS:GO savants there are tools like Smoke Center.
In a Reddit post, user ‘JoaoPedrOo4’ placed a screengrab of Mirage’s minimap, but with a ton of smoke, fire, flash and explosion icons. The user was showing their appreciation for an Android app that helps players if they “need to know the smokes while [they’re] in-game.”

The app lets players choose a map in CS:GO, which will show them a minimap of the selected location with a ton of grenade icons on the overlay. By selecting any of the icons, a short GIF appears showing what the lineup looks like in game, with any other important info appearing in text description.
By using it as a template or reference guide, the app can be used to assist players still learning a map and its strats by offering the basic ways to use all the different utility in CS:GO.
