Jump peek in CS: GO can be a really important skill. What is it and what is it useful for?
In the simplest terms, jump peek is a skill that relies on quickly leaning your character around a corner in such a way that the opponent does not have time to make an accurate shot.
It is especially useful during tournament matches where players assume that an opponent, for example with an AWP, may be standing behind a given wall. With a good jump peek, you can get info or confuse your opponent, and then eliminate him quickly.
