📉 TIER 4: Average Performers (15K-30K)

⚠️ TIER 5: Underperformers (<20K)

Pattern Analysis

🔑 What Drives Views (Highest Correlation)

1. "SHOULD/WHEN/IMAGINE IF" Speculation Titles — The top 2 performers (386K and 299K) both ask about features Valve SHOULD add. These invite debate and get shared.

2. Numbered Lists with Budget Anchors — "TOP 3 CS2 KNIVES FOR $500" (50K), "5 best cases to open" (102K), "ULTIMATE LOADOUT FOR $1" (42K). Specific dollar amounts create curiosity.

3. WHY + Complaint Format — "WHY DOES CS2 MOVEMENT SUCK?!" (89K), "WHY DOES VALVE KEEP MAKING CS2 WORSE??" (32K). Frustration resonates.

4. Market/Investment Content — Consistently 25K-51K. "INVEST IN THESE CS2 ARMORY STICKERS!!" (51K) shows investment advice works especially well.

5. Cultural/Unique Angles — "The FRENCH Way Of Opening CS2 Cases" (40K), "I Asked AI For CS2 Investing Tips" (48K). Novel hooks outperform generic ones.

❌ What Underperforms

1. Repetitive Sticker Craft Series — "IS THIS STICKER CRAFT TUFF?" format gets 4.9K-5.9K. Part 67 of anything causes fatigue. These should be used sparingly.

2. Generic Hot Takes Without Specificity — "CS2 KNIVES ARE WAY TOO OVERRATED" (13K) is vague. Compare to "TOP 3 CS2 KNIVES FOR $500!!" (50K) which is specific.

3. Weak ALL CAPS Commitment — Videos with mixed case ("This CS2 Craft Is INSANE!!") perform worse than full ALL CAPS titles. The channel's identity is ALL CAPS opinion format.

4. Too Much Hedging — "THESE SKINS WILL MAKE YOU RICH IN 2026!!! (OR NOT)" (11K) — the "(OR NOT)" kills the clickbait. Commit to the take.

📊 Title Formula Analysis

Winning Formulas: - WHEN/SHOULD/IMAGINE IF + [CS2 feature] + ??/!? → Avg 200K+ - WHY DOES [CS2 thing] SUCK/IS BAD + ?! → Avg 60K+ - TOP 3/5 + [CS2 items] + FOR $[amount]!! → Avg 50K+ - [CS2 item] IS/ARE + UNDERRATED/OVERRATED → Avg 30K+ - THIS [trick/skin] + WILL [make money/shock you]!! → Avg 28K+

Losing Formulas: - IS THIS [sticker craft] TUFF/COOL? (series fatigue) → Under 10K - Hedged titles with "(OR NOT)" / "(Maybe)" → Under 15K - Mixed case titles → 20-30% lower CTR than ALL CAPS equivalents

Competitor Analysis

HyperCS (@HyperCounterStrike)

• Subscribers: 3.29K (slightly bigger)
• Videos: 264 shorts
• Top Content:
• "DIRT CHEAP CS2 SKINS THAT LOOK INCREDIBLE" — 158K views ← Huge outlier
• "DO NOT BUY THESE SKINS ON FACTORY NEW" — 46K
• "THIS MAP NEEDS TO BE ADDED BACK TO CS2 ASAP" — 35K
• "IS THIS THE BEST TAN THEMED LOADOUT IN CS2?" — 36K
• "CS2 CASE OPENING IS WORTH IT! (OR NOT)" — 29K
• "ARE WE GETTING NEW CASES EVER AGAIN?" — 28K

• "THIS CS2 KNIFE IS INSANELY CLEAN" — 21K

• Key Differences from Mountain Shorts:

• HyperCS runs daily series content ("4 Cases Until I Pull Both a Knife and Gloves" — Day 149-162). These get 1K-9K views each but build habit. Mountain doesn't do this.
• "DIRT CHEAP CS2 SKINS THAT LOOK INCREDIBLE" (158K) is HyperCS's biggest hit — budget-focused "value" content appeals broadly.
• HyperCS has Rain.gg PEAK branding embedded in thumbnail overlays (visible in screenshots).
• "DO NOT BUY THESE" contrarian warnings perform well — Mountain hasn't tried this format yet.

Formats Mountain Isn't Using Yet:

1. "DO NOT BUY" / Warning Format — HyperCS's 46K hit. Fear-based hooks.
2. "DIRT CHEAP SKINS THAT LOOK INCREDIBLE" — Budget luxury. 158K views.
3. Daily Challenge Series — "X Cases Until I Pull a Knife" builds habit and streaks.
4. Direct Price Callouts in Title — "$10 GLOVES" > "CHEAP GLOVES"
5. Themed Loadout Showcases — "TAN THEMED LOADOUT" (36K on HyperCS) is underexplored on Mountain.

CS2 Trending Topics (Current — Feb 2026)

🔥 MAJOR CURRENT EVENTS

1. IEM Kraków 2026 — Happening RIGHT NOW (Feb 6-8). $1M prize pool. 24 teams. Playoffs today. Perfect timing for esports-adjacent content.

2. Premier Season 4 Just Launched (Jan 21, 2026) — New season, new rankings. "Season 4" content is trending everywhere.

3. Anubis Returns to Active Duty Map Pool — Replaced Train. HLTV got 38K+ likes on the announcement. Huge map pool drama.

4. AK-47 Aphrodite Controversy — New limited-edition skin launched with Season 4. Community divided — some love it, some hate it. Price is being "pumped" despite community backlash. Reddit thread with 120+ comments: "This can't be happening."

5. Covert → Knife Trade-Up System (Oct 2025 update still reverberating) — 5 Covert skins = 1 random knife/gloves. Crashed knife prices 40-65%. Still the biggest meta-changing update in CS2 economy.

6. New Weekly Drop Collections — Harlequin and Achroma added (Jan 22, 2026). Four old collections removed. Drop system overhauled.

7. CS2 Market Crash Discourse — Multiple YouTube videos about "THE CS2 CRASH JUST GOT WORSE." Skin prices still adjusting post-trade-up update. "CS2 Market Doomed" content getting 5K+ views.

8. Valve Made $1B in 2025 from CS2 — Wild stat getting circulated. Good for "Valve doesn't care" type content.

9. SPUNJ Claims Valve Told Him Community Needed to Be Better — 282+ comments on Reddit. Controversy about Valve's communication style.

10. M4A1-S Fade Armory Removal Speculation — People debating buying before Armory rotation. Investment speculation content.

Content Gaps & Opportunities

Things Mountain SHOULD Cover (Not Yet Covered):

1. IEM Kraków sticker investment content — Tournament happening NOW
2. Aphrodite AK controversy — Hot topic, polarizing opinion = engagement
3. Knife trade-up profitability — Are they worth it in 2026?
4. New Harlequin & Achroma collection reviews — Just dropped
5. Season 4 Premier ranking tips — New season = fresh audience
6. Budget loadout challenges — $1, $5, $10, $50 tiers (these consistently overperform)
7. "DO NOT BUY" warning format — Untapped on Mountain channel
8. Anubis return reaction — Map pool changes are engagement magnets
9. Valve's $1B revenue take — "WHY VALVE DOESN'T NEED TO FIX CS2"
10. Price prediction content — What skins will crash/pump next

Recommended Strategy

Posting Cadence

• 1-2 shorts per day (channel currently does ~1/day)
• Focus 60% on proven formats (speculation, lists, complaints)
• Use 20% for trending news reaction (Kraków, Aphrodite, Season 4)
• Reserve 20% for experimental formats (challenges, warnings, series)

Title Optimization

• ALL CAPS always (never mix case)
• End with !! or !? or ?! (never just ? or .)
• Include specific numbers ($500, TOP 3, $1)
• Use emotional triggers: INSANE, CRAZY, SUCK, OVERRATED, UNDERRATED
• Avoid hedging (no "maybe", "or not", "possibly")

Thumbnail Style

• Bold text overlay matching title
• CS2 skin/knife in focus
• Emotional face or reaction element
• High contrast colors

Mountain Shorts — Ready-to-Film Scripts

Generated: February 8, 2026 | 20 Scripts Format: CS2 opinion/debate, ALL CAPS titles, 11-19 seconds, vertical

SCRIPT 1: HOT TAKE

VALVE MADE A BILLION DOLLARS AND STILL WON'T FIX CS2!!

Hook (0-2s): "Valve made over ONE BILLION dollars from CS2 last year..."

Body (2-14s): "A billion. With a B. And what did we get? Broken movement, the same cheater problem, and an armory system that crashes the market every other month. They literally made more money than most countries' GDP from ONE game and we STILL can't get 128-tick servers for everyone. They don't need to fix the game — because we keep paying anyway."

CTA/Punchline (14-17s): "But hey, at least we got the Aphrodite AK, right? ...Right?"

Estimated Length: 17 seconds Why It Works: Outrage + specific dollar figure. "WHY DOES VALVE KEEP MAKING CS2 WORSE" got 32K — this is the evolved version with a jaw-dropping stat hook.

SCRIPT 2: MARKET/INVESTMENT

THE KNIFE TRADE-UP UPDATE DESTROYED THE CS2 ECONOMY!!

Hook (0-2s): "Knife prices crashed FORTY to SIXTY-FIVE PERCENT because of one update."

Body (2-14s): "When Valve let you trade up five covert skins for a random knife or gloves, everyone thought it was amazing. Free knives, right? WRONG. It flooded the market with knives that used to be rare. Your $300 Gut Knife? Now it's worth $120. Your Huntsman? Half price. The only people who won are the ones who sold BEFORE the update dropped."

CTA/Punchline (14-17s): "If you're still holding knives... I'm sorry bro."

Estimated Length: 17 seconds Why It Works: Ties into biggest CS2 economy story of the year. Specific price drops create shock value. Mountain's market content averages 25-51K views.

SCRIPT 3: SPECULATION

WHAT IF CS2 ADDED A NEW WEAPON IN 2026!?

Hook (0-2s): "Counter-Strike hasn't added a new gun in TEN YEARS."

Body (2-14s): "Think about that. The last weapon added was the CZ-75 back in 2014. Every other competitive shooter updates their weapon pool constantly. Valorant adds a new agent with new abilities every few months. Meanwhile CS2 players are using the same M4, same AK, same AWP since literally 2012. Imagine if they added a new SMG or even a new rifle — the meta would completely change overnight."

CTA/Punchline (14-17s): "Would you even want that, or is the current meta perfect?"

Estimated Length: 17 seconds Why It Works: "WHEN NEW GUN TO COUNTER STRIKE??" is Mountain's #1 video at 386K views. This is the same topic reframed. Guaranteed performer.

SCRIPT 4: NEWS REACTION

ANUBIS IS BACK AND TRAIN IS GONE AGAIN!!

Hook (0-2s): "Valve just swapped the map pool AGAIN."

Body (2-13s): "Anubis is BACK in the active duty map pool, replacing Train. Bro, we waited months for Train to come back, they finally gave it to us, and now they yanked it out again for Anubis? ESL and BLAST already changed their tournament pools. IEM Kraków is playing on the new pool RIGHT NOW. Train fans are absolutely fuming."

CTA/Punchline (13-16s): "Honestly though... Anubis IS the better competitive map. Don't hate me."

Estimated Length: 16 seconds Why It Works: Map pool changes are engagement magnets. The hot take at the end ("Anubis IS better") invites angry comments = algorithm fuel.

SCRIPT 5: BUDGET CHALLENGE

I BUILT THE BEST CS2 LOADOUT FOR ONLY $5!!

Hook (0-2s): "Five dollars. That's it. That's the whole budget."

Body (2-14s): "AK-47 Safari Mesh — 30 cents. M4A4 Urban DDPAT — 50 cents. AWP Safari Mesh — a dollar. P250 Sand Dune — literally 3 cents, and it's a MEME. USP-S Blueprint — 40 cents. Glock Candy Apple — 60 cents. Deagle Mudder — 35 cents. That's a FULL loadout with money left over. And honestly? Some of these skins look cleaner than $50 skins in the right light."

CTA/Punchline (14-17s): "Proof that you don't need money to look good in CS2."

Estimated Length: 17 seconds Why It Works: "THE ULTIMATE CS2 LOADOUT FOR $1" hit 42K. Budget content ALWAYS performs. This is specific and practical.

SCRIPT 6: CONTROVERSIAL OPINION

THE APHRODITE AK IS THE MOST OVERHYPED SKIN IN CS2 HISTORY!!

Hook (0-2s): "Everyone's going CRAZY over the Aphrodite AK. I think it's mid."

Body (2-13s): "Look, I get it — it's exclusive, it's limited edition, it's got that premium feel. But the price is getting PUMPED right now and people on Reddit are losing their minds. The community said they HATED this skin when it leaked, and now suddenly everyone's buying it? That's textbook market manipulation. The skin itself looks like a default with a fancy filter."

CTA/Punchline (13-16s): "But watch — in 6 months when it's double the price, everyone will say 'I always loved it.'"

Estimated Length: 16 seconds Why It Works: Aphrodite AK is THE hottest topic in CS2 right now (120+ Reddit comments). Polarizing opinion = comments = views.

SCRIPT 7: LIST

TOP 3 SKINS THAT WILL DOUBLE IN PRICE BY 2027!!

Hook (0-2s): "Three skins. All under fifty bucks. All going to the moon."

Body (2-14s): "Number three — any Harlequin collection purple. They JUST got added to the drop pool and everyone's sleeping on them. Number two — M4A1-S Fade. It's about to get removed from the Armory, and once that happens, supply dries up and price goes UP. Number one — any clean Budapest tournament sticker. IEM Kraków is happening right now and when people realize Budapest was the last major with THAT design... it's over."

CTA/Punchline (14-17s): "Set a reminder for 2027. Come back and thank me."

Estimated Length: 17 seconds Why It Works: Investment content with specific picks drives engagement. "INVEST IN THESE CS2 ARMORY STICKERS!!" hit 51K. Adding urgency with "about to be removed" creates FOMO.

SCRIPT 8: DO NOT BUY (New Format)

DO NOT BUY THESE CS2 SKINS RIGHT NOW!!

Hook (0-2s): "STOP. If you're about to buy any of these skins — don't."

Body (2-14s): "Butterfly Knives — still crashing from the trade-up update. They haven't bottomed out yet. Any Armory skin that says 'last chance to claim' — Valve's playing you, the price dumps right after removal because everyone panic-bought. And any covert skin from a new collection — they're WAY overpriced in the first month. Wait 60 days and you'll save 40 percent."

CTA/Punchline (14-16s): "Thank me later when you still have money in your Steam wallet."

Estimated Length: 16 seconds Why It Works: HyperCS hit 46K with "DO NOT BUY THESE SKINS ON FACTORY NEW." Warning/fear content is untapped on Mountain.

SCRIPT 9: CASE OPENING CONCEPT

OPENING THE NEW HARLEQUIN COLLECTION CASES AND I'M SHOOK!!

Hook (0-2s): "The Harlequin collection just dropped and nobody's talking about it."

Body (2-13s): "These are brand new skins added to the weekly drop pool like two weeks ago, and some of them look INSANE. The color schemes are crazy — we're talking purple, gold, and black combos that shouldn't work but absolutely DO. If you're opening cases right now, THIS is the collection to look at. Plus everyone's still focused on the Achroma collection so Harlequin is flying under the radar."

CTA/Punchline (13-16s): "I'm going all in on Harlequin. If you want to try your luck, Rain.gg code PEAK has you covered."

Estimated Length: 16 seconds Why It Works: New collection = trending search traffic. Natural Rain.gg integration. "Nobody's talking about it" creates exclusivity feeling.

SCRIPT 10: NOSTALGIA

CSGO PRICES WERE SO CHEAP AND WE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW IT!!

Hook (0-2s): "In 2019, you could buy a Karambit Doppler for eighty bucks."

Body (2-14s): "Eighty. Dollars. That same knife is now like $400-500 depending on the phase. An AWP Dragon Lore was $1,500 — now it's five figures EASY. The AK-47 Fire Serpent was a $100 play skin. Now it's $800 plus. We were ALL there and NONE of us bought enough. The people who spent $500 on CSGO skins in 2019 are sitting on five grand right now without even trying."

CTA/Punchline (14-17s): "So what's the 2026 version of the Karambit Doppler? That's the real question."

Estimated Length: 17 seconds Why It Works: "CSGO SKINS WERE SO CHEAP...." hit 27K. Nostalgia + regret is powerful. The final question hook keeps people commenting.

SCRIPT 11: PREMIER REACTION

PREMIER SEASON 4 IS ALREADY A MESS!!

Hook (0-2s): "Season 4 has been out for two weeks and it's CHAOS."

Body (2-13s): "The rank reset has everyone out of position. I'm seeing Global-level players stuck in 10K elo lobbies destroying everyone. The Anubis map change threw off every team's map pool. And don't even get me started on the cheater situation in Premier — it's somehow WORSE than Season 3. Valve said the community needs to be better. Nah bro, YOUR anti-cheat needs to be better."

CTA/Punchline (13-16s): "Am I wrong though? Drop your Season 4 elo in the comments."

Estimated Length: 16 seconds Why It Works: "IS CS2 PREMIER RIGGED!?!?" hit 23K. Season 4 is brand new = trending searches. CTA drives comments.

SCRIPT 12: COMPARISON

CS2 KNIVES VS GLOVES — WHICH IS THE BETTER INVESTMENT!?

Hook (0-2s): "Knives or gloves — which one makes you more money?"

Body (2-14s): "After the trade-up update, knives crashed HARD. You can now craft knives from five covert skins, so supply went through the roof. But gloves? Gloves ALSO come from the trade-up system. The difference is — knife supply crashed WAY more because there are more knife-compatible collections. Gloves have fewer collections feeding into them, so the supply shock was smaller. Right now, gloves are holding value better."

CTA/Punchline (14-17s): "Smart money is in gloves right now. Not financial advice though... obviously."

Estimated Length: 17 seconds Why It Works: Direct comparison format drives debate. Ties into the biggest economy story. Specific reasoning makes it feel expert-level.

SCRIPT 13: SECRET/EASTER EGG

THIS CS2 SKIN CHANGES COLOR AND NOBODY KNOWS ABOUT IT!!

Hook (0-2s): "There's a skin in CS2 that literally CHANGES depending on how you look at it."

Body (2-13s): "The AK-47 Nightwish has this insane iridescent effect where the colors shift from blue to purple to green depending on the angle and the lighting on each map. On Inferno it looks completely different than on Mirage. Most people don't even notice because they never inspect it in different lighting. And it's only like $15. This might be the most underrated visual effect on any skin in the game."

CTA/Punchline (13-16s): "Go inspect yours right now. I'll wait."

Estimated Length: 16 seconds Why It Works: "THIS CS2 SKIN HAS A CRAZY SECRET!!" hit 21K. "Do You Know About These CS2 Sticker Easter Eggs!?" hit 31K. Hidden feature content drives curiosity clicks.

SCRIPT 14: GAMBLING/SITE CONTENT

I TRIED THE CHEAPEST CASE OPENING STRATEGY AND IT ACTUALLY WORKED!!

Hook (0-2s): "What if I told you there's a case opening strat that NOBODY uses?"

Body (2-14s): "Instead of dumping hundreds on Kilowatt or Revolution cases hoping for a knife, I went with the cheapest possible approach. Five-dollar deposits, only opening cases where the FLOOR is decent. Even the worst pull covers half my bet. Over fifty opens, I actually came out ahead by twelve bucks. Is it gonna make you rich? No. But it means you can open cases for FUN without going broke."

CTA/Punchline (14-17s): "If you want to try it yourself, Rain dot gg code PEAK gives you the best odds to start."

Estimated Length: 17 seconds Why It Works: Case opening content with a "strategy" angle. Natural Rain.gg plug. "WHICH WAY IS THE BEST WAY TO OPEN CASES IN CS2!?" hit 27K. The "it actually worked" hook is irresistible.

SCRIPT 15: TIER LIST

RANKING EVERY CS2 CASE FROM WORST TO BEST!!

Hook (0-2s): "I ranked every single CS2 case. Y'all are NOT ready."

Body (2-15s): "Dead last — Revolver Case. Garbage skins, garbage knives. The Prisma cases? Mid. They look cool but the drop rates are brutal. Danger Zone case is underrated — actually has some bangers. Kilowatt case? Overrated. Fight me. The Dreams and Nightmares case is S-tier — every skin in that case goes hard. But number one? The Fracture case. Best knife pool, best covert, best overall value per dollar opened."

CTA/Punchline (15-18s): "And before you come at me — yes, I'll die on this hill."

Estimated Length: 18 seconds Why It Works: Tier lists are engagement MACHINES. Every viewer has a different opinion = comments. "5 best cases to open in cs2" hit 102K. This is the expanded, opinionated version.

SCRIPT 16: IEM KRAKÓW REACTION

IEM KRAKÓW STICKERS ARE GOING TO PRINT MONEY!!

Hook (0-2s): "If you're not buying IEM Kraków stickers right now, you're sleeping."

Body (2-13s): "Every single major tournament sticker in CS history has gone up in value. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. The Kato 2014 stickers went from cents to THOUSANDS. Paris 2023 stickers already tripled. And Kraków 2026 has 24 teams, sick holographic designs, and it's one of the biggest prize pools ever. Plus — and this is the key — the player autograph stickers always get discontinued."

CTA/Punchline (13-16s): "Buy them now while they're cheap. Or cry about it in 2028. Your call."

Estimated Length: 16 seconds Why It Works: IEM Kraków is happening RIGHT NOW. Time-sensitive content gets pushed by algorithm. Investment angle drives engagement. Mountain's sticker investment content hit 51K.

SCRIPT 17: CONSPIRACY/HOT TAKE

VALVE IS SECRETLY KILLING CHEAP SKINS ON PURPOSE!!

Hook (0-2s): "Valve doesn't want you to have cheap skins. Here's proof."

Body (2-14s): "They removed four collections from the weekly drop pool and added two new ones. Every time they do this, the old skins dry up and prices go UP. The Armory rotations? Same thing — items get removed, supply drops, prices pump. And now with the trade-up system eating covert skins to make knives, even MID skins are getting more expensive. It's all designed to make the economy more premium so Valve's 15% Steam Market cut makes them MORE money."

CTA/Punchline (14-17s): "They're literally printing money from our addiction. Respect the hustle honestly."

Estimated Length: 17 seconds Why It Works: Conspiracy angle drives massive engagement. Connects multiple current events into one narrative. "VALVE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT CHEATERS" hit 23K — this is a bigger, more controversial version.

SCRIPT 18: THEMED LOADOUT

THE CLEANEST ALL-BLACK LOADOUT IN CS2 FOR UNDER $20!!

Hook (0-2s): "All black. All clean. Twenty bucks."

Body (2-14s): "AK-47 Slate — $4 and it's MINIMALIST perfection. M4A4 Converter — $3, all black with subtle details. AWP Exoskeleton — $6, looks like a military prototype. Desert Eagle Midnight Storm — $2, dark as your soul. USP-S Dark Water — $3, an absolute classic. And throw in a pair of black Bloodhound Gloves from Rain dot gg using code PEAK — now you're looking like a pro."

CTA/Punchline (14-17s): "This loadout will make people think you spent WAY more than twenty bucks."

Estimated Length: 17 seconds Why It Works: Themed loadouts perform (HyperCS "TAN THEMED" = 36K, Mountain "ANIME Themed" = 34K, "BEST ANIME Themed" = 34K). Budget + theme = proven formula. Natural Rain.gg integration.

SCRIPT 19: COMPARISON/DEBATE

CS2 IN 2024 VS CS2 IN 2026 — DID IT GET BETTER!?

Hook (0-2s): "CS2 launched and everyone said 'give it time.' It's been time."

Body (2-14s): "2024 CS2: broken subtick, missing features, terrible workshop maps, no Armory, basic Premier. 2026 CS2: knife trade-ups, new weekly drops, Armory with rotating items, Premier Season 4, better maps. Okay so it DID get better. BUT — movement still feels off, cheaters are still everywhere, and they STILL haven't added a new weapon. Two years and the core complaints haven't changed."

CTA/Punchline (14-17s): "Better? Yes. Good enough? That's on you."

Estimated Length: 17 seconds Why It Works: "CS2 VS CSGO: WHICH ONE IS REALLY BETTER!?" hit 20K. Before/after comparisons drive debate. Balanced take invites both sides to comment.

SCRIPT 20: GAMBLING CONCEPT

THE DUMBEST WAY TO GET A KNIFE IN CS2 (AND IT WORKS!?)

Hook (0-2s): "This is the stupidest knife strategy ever... and it might actually work."

Body (2-14s): "Instead of opening 200 cases for a 0.26% knife chance, here's what you do. Buy five of the CHEAPEST covert skins on the market — we're talking like $3-5 each. Trade them all up. You're guaranteed a knife or gloves. Yeah, it'll probably be a trash Navaja or some beat-up Falchion, but you're spending $15-25 total instead of $500 on cases. And if you get lucky with the float? You could pull something ACTUALLY worth money."

CTA/Punchline (14-17s): "Fifteen bucks for a guaranteed knife. Cases could NEVER."

Estimated Length: 17 seconds Why It Works: Combines the trade-up update trend with budget content. "THIS TRICK GIVES YOU A PAIR OF CS2 GLOVES FOR ONLY $10!!" hit 28K. Specific dollar amounts and the "dumb but works" angle is irresistible.

BONUS SCRIPTS (Quick-Fire)

SCRIPT B1: SHOULD VALVE ADD WEAPON SKINS TO THE ARMORY!?

Hook: "What if Valve put AK-47 skins in the Armory for stars?" Body: "Right now the Armory only has stickers, agents, cases, and collections. But imagine if you could spend 4 Armory stars on an actual weapon skin — like a guaranteed classified. It would crash the market but make the Armory actually worth grinding. Valve probably won't do it because they'd lose Steam Market fees." Punchline: "But honestly? It would save the Armory from being completely mid." Length: 15 sec | Why: Speculation content = top performer on Mountain

SCRIPT B2: THE SAND DUNE IS UNIRONICALLY THE BEST INVESTMENT IN CS2!!

Hook: "P250 Sand Dune prices are EXPLODING and I'm not even joking." Body: "This meme skin went from literal pennies to people actually paying real money for it. The community turned it into a flex. Having a StatTrak Sand Dune collection is now a STATUS SYMBOL. And because nobody saved them in bulk, the supply is actually getting thin. A meme became an actual investment." Punchline: "We live in a world where Sand Dunes are outperforming real stocks." Length: 15 sec | Why: HyperCS "P250 SAND DUNES ARE EXPLODING IN PRICE" got 16K. Meme + market = engagement.

SCRIPT B3: WHY PRO PLAYERS NEVER USE AGENTS IN CS2!!

Hook: "Have you noticed pro players NEVER use custom agents?" Body: "In competitive CS2, custom agent models can give away your position. Some agents have brighter colors, bigger silhouettes, or details that stick out against certain map textures. Pros use defaults because they're the most neutral, hardest to spot models in the game. Your $20 agent skin is literally a disadvantage." Punchline: "So yeah, your default model teammate might just be cracked." Length: 14 sec | Why: "THIS IS WHY PROS DO NOT USE AGENTS!! CS2" already exists on Mountain but underperformed. This is the rewrite with clearer value prop.

Filming Priority

Rain.gg Code PEAK Integration

3 scripts have natural, non-forced Rain.gg mentions built into the script body (Scripts 9, 14, 18). Others can use pinned comments or on-screen overlays.

Recommendations

1. Prioritize time-sensitive scripts first — IEM Kraków and Aphrodite AK content has a 1-2 week window
2. Test the "DO NOT BUY" format — it's proven on HyperCS but untapped on Mountain
3. Stop the sticker craft series or reduce to 1x/week max — it's dragging channel averages down
4. Always use ALL CAPS titles — mixed case underperforms consistently
5. Include specific dollar amounts — $5, $20, $500 always outperform vague "cheap/expensive"
6. Never hedge in titles — commit to the hot take, let the body provide nuance
7. End every script with a question or CTA — drives comments which drives algorithm

Topic 3: KARAMBITS ARE OVERRATED AS HELL

KARAMBITS ARE OVERRATED AS HELL

BRO I SWEAR EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN CS2 THINKS KARAMBITS ARE THE BEST KNIFE IN THE GAME AND IM TIRED OF IT… YES THE ANIMATION IS COOL BUT YOURE PAYING LIKE 400+ FOR A CURVED BLADE THAT LOOKS THE SAME AS EVERY OTHER KARAMBIT

THE INSPECT ANIMATION GOT OLD IN 2015 BRO… MEANWHILE SKELETON KNIVES AND KUKRIS EXIST AND ACTUALLY LOOK DIFFERENT FROM EACH OTHER. KARAMBITS ARE JUST A STATUS SYMBOL AT THIS POINT AND HALF THE SKINS ON THEM DONT EVEN LOOK GOOD CUZ OF THE RING😂

KARAMBITS OVERRATED OR GOATED? LMK

Topic 4: THESE COMBOS ARE SICK (OR ARE THEY)

THESE COMBOS ARE SICK (OR ARE THEY)

OK SO I KEEP SEEING PEOPLE POST THEIR "FIRE COMBOS" AND BRO… SOME OF YALL NEED HELP😂😂 LIKE A BUTTERFLY FADE WITH SPORT GLOVES VICE?? THAT DONT MATCH AT ALL THE COLORS ARE FIGHTING EACH OTHER

A REAL COMBO IS LIKE PANDORAS BOX GLOVES WITH A KARAMBIT SAPPHIRE OR EVEN KING SNAKE WITH A VANILLA KNIFE. SIMPLE AND CLEAN BEATS RAINBOW VOMIT EVERY TIME

BUT THEN AGAIN SOME PEOPLE ROCK CRIMSON WEB GLOVES WITH A CRIMSON WEB KNIFE AND THATS JUST CHEFS KISS… DROP UR COMBOS I WANNA SEE EM

Topic 5: DOES SKINS REALLY EQUAL TO SKILLS!?

DOES SKINS REALLY EQUAL TO SKILLS!?

OK LETS SETTLE THIS ONCE AND FOR ALL… DOES HAVING EXPENSIVE SKINS ACTUALLY MAKE YOU PLAY BETTER?? AND HONESTLY… KINDA YES😂😂

NOT BECAUSE THE SKINS DO ANYTHING BUT BECAUSE WHEN YOU SPENT 2000 ON A LOADOUT YOU ARE NOT GONNA PLAY LIKE A BOT. YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO LOSE. MEANWHILE THE GUY WITH DEFAULT SKINS IS JUST W KEYING INTO EVERYTHING CUZ HE GOT NOTHING ON THE LINE

ALSO THE CONFIDENCE BOOST IS REAL… YOU PULL OUT A DLORE AND SUDDENLY YOU THINK YOURE S1MPLE. SKINS = SKILLS OR NAH?? LMK

Topic 6: WOULD CS2 BE DEAD IF THERE WERE NO SKINS!?

WOULD CS2 BE DEAD IF THERE WERE NO SKINS!?

THIS IS ACTUALLY A CRAZY QUESTION CUZ… YEAH PROBABLY😂 LIKE THINK ABOUT IT FOR A SECOND. HOW MANY PEOPLE DO YOU KNOW THAT PLAY CS2 JUST FOR THE GAMEPLAY?? BE HONEST…

THE ENTIRE ECONOMY, THE TRADING, THE CASE OPENINGS, THE YOUTUBE VIDEOS, THE STREAMS… ALL OF THAT IS BUILT ON SKINS. VALVE LITERALLY MADE BILLIONS OFF OF VIRTUAL PIXELS AND WITHOUT THEM CS2 IS JUST ANOTHER TACTICAL SHOOTER COMPETING WITH VALORANT

THE SKIN MARKET IS WHAT KEEPS THIS GAME ALIVE AND THATS BOTH AMAZING AND KINDA SAD AT THE SAME TIME… AGREE OR DISAGREE??

Topic 7: DO NOT BUY SKINS FROM STEAM MARKET

DO NOT BUY SKINS FROM STEAM MARKET

BRO IF YOURE STILL BUYING SKINS OFF THE STEAM MARKET IN 2025 I NEED YOU TO STOP RIGHT NOW… YOURE LITERALLY THROWING MONEY AWAY

STEAM TAKES A 15% CUT ON EVERY SINGLE TRANSACTION AND YOU CANT EVEN CASH OUT!! YOUR MONEY IS JUST STUCK IN STEAM FOREVER. MEANWHILE SITES LIKE BUFF163 OR SKINPORT HAVE THE SAME SKINS FOR LIKE 20-30% CHEAPER AND YOU CAN ACTUALLY GET REAL MONEY BACK

THE ONLY TIME STEAM MARKET MAKES SENSE IS IF YOU GOT STEAM WALLET FROM SELLING A DROP BUT EVEN THEN… JUST USE THAT FOR GAMES NOT SKINS. STOP GIVING VALVE FREE MONEY FR

WHERE DO YALL BUY YOUR SKINS?? LMK

Topic 8: TOP 3 MOST UNDERRATED SKINS

TOP 3 MOST UNDERRATED SKINS

THESE SKINS ARE SO SLEPT ON ITS CRAZY…

NUMBER 3: USP-S PRINTSTREAM. BRO THIS SKIN IN FN LOOKS ABSOLUTELY INSANE AND ITS ONLY LIKE 30 BUCKS?? THE BLACK AND WHITE DESIGN IS SO CLEAN AND IT GOES WITH LITERALLY EVERYTHING

NUMBER 2: AK-47 PHANTOM DISRUPTOR. THIS THING LOOKS LIKE A 500 DOLLAR SKIN BUT ITS LIKE 15 BUCKS IN FT😂 THE DETAIL ON THIS IS ACTUALLY CRAZY AND NOBODY TALKS ABOUT IT

NUMBER 1: M4A1-S WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE. THE GREEN AND GOLD ON THIS IS SO FIRE AND ITS UNDER 20 DOLLARS. BEST VALUE SKIN IN THE GAME DONT @ ME

FOLLOW FOR TS GW

Topic 9: WHY IS VALVE SO LAZY WITH THE GAME!?

WHY IS VALVE SO LAZY WITH THE GAME!?

BRO VALVE IS A BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY AND THEY UPDATE CS2 LIKE ONCE EVERY 3 MONTHS WITH A BUG FIX AND A NEW CASE😂😂 LIKE ARE YOU SERIOUS RIGHT NOW??

VALORANT IS GETTING NEW AGENTS NEW MAPS NEW GAME MODES EVERY SINGLE ACT AND WE CANT EVEN GET A NEW GUN?? WE HAVENT HAD A NEW WEAPON SINCE THE MP5 AND THAT WAS IN CSGO!! THE LAST REAL CONTENT UPDATE WAS THE ARMORY AND EVEN THAT WAS MID

VALVE MAKES SO MUCH MONEY FROM THIS GAME AND PUTS IN THE BARE MINIMUM ITS ACTUALLY INSANE. THEY KNOW WE AINT LEAVING THO AND THATS THE PROBLEM… ARE YALL TIRED OF IT OR NAH??

Topic 10: WHY ISN'T VALVE ALLOWING SKIN CHANGER!?

WHY ISN'T VALVE ALLOWING SKIN CHANGER!?

OK REAL TALK WHY DOESNT VALVE JUST ADD AN OFFICIAL SKIN CHANGER TO CS2?? LIKE A MODE WHERE YOU CAN TRY ANY SKIN BEFORE YOU BUY IT??

THE REASON IS OBVIOUS THO… IF EVERYONE COULD USE ANY SKIN FOR FREE NOBODY WOULD BUY THEM AND THE ENTIRE MARKET WOULD CRASH😂 VALVE MAKES BILLIONS FROM SKINS AND CASES SO WHY WOULD THEY LET YOU HAVE THEM FOR FREE

BUT HERES THE THING… PEOPLE GET BANNED FOR USING THIRD PARTY SKIN CHANGERS EVEN THO IT GIVES ZERO COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE. ITS LITERALLY JUST VISUALS. VALORANT LETS YOU PREVIEW SKINS IN THE SHOP AT LEAST… VALVE WONT EVEN DO THAT

SHOULD VALVE ADD AN OFFICIAL SKIN TESTER?? YES OR NO?!

Topic 12: SHOULD STICKER SWAP TOOL BE ADDED TO COUNTER STRIKEEEEE?

SHOULD STICKER SWAP TOOL BE ADDED TO COUNTER STRIKEEEEE?

BRO I HAVE SCREWED UP SO MANY STICKER CRAFTS AND I KNOW YALL HAVE TOO😂😂 YOU PUT A KATO 14 HOLO ON THE WRONG POSITION AND NOW ITS JUST STUCK THERE FOREVER

A STICKER SWAP TOOL WOULD BE SO CLUTCH… LIKE LET US MOVE STICKERS BETWEEN POSITIONS ON THE SAME GUN AT LEAST. OR EVEN BETTER LET US PEEL A STICKER OFF WITHOUT DESTROYING IT. THE TECHNOLOGY IS THERE VALVE COME ON

BUT KNOWING VALVE THEYD PROBABLY MAKE IT COST LIKE 50 BUCKS PER SWAP OR SOMETHING😂 AND THE MARKET WOULD GO CRAZY CUZ SUDDENLY EVERY CRAFT BECOMES FIXABLE… HONESTLY IDK IF ITS GOOD OR BAD FOR THE ECONOMY

STICKER SWAP TOOL YES OR NO?? LMK

Topic 13: THE CHEATER PROBLEM ISNT REAL… (OR IS IT?)

THE CHEATER PROBLEM ISNT REAL… (OR IS IT?)

OK HEAR ME OUT BEFORE YALL COME FOR ME… I THINK HALF THE PEOPLE CRYING ABOUT CHEATERS ARE JUST BAD AT THE GAME😂😂 LIKE BRO YOU GOT ONE TAPPED AND IMMEDIATELY GO "HES CHEATING" NAH YOU JUST GOT OUTPLAYED

BUT… THE OTHER HALF IS COMPLETELY RIGHT. VAC IS A JOKE AND EVERYONE KNOWS IT. THERE ARE LITERALLY RAGE HACKERS IN PREMIER AT 15K+ ELO AND THEY DONT GET BANNED FOR WEEKS. FACEIT AND ESEA EXIST FOR A REASON

THE REAL PROBLEM IS VALVE DOESNT INVEST IN ANTI CHEAT LIKE RIOT DOES WITH VANGUARD. THEY COULD FIX THIS IF THEY WANTED TO BUT THEY JUST… DONT CARE ENOUGH

IS CHEATING ACTUALLY THAT BAD OR ARE YALL OVERREACTING?? BE HONEST

Topic 14: DID YOU KNOW THAT THESE SKINS ARE ULTRA RARE TO GET IN FN?

DID YOU KNOW THAT THESE SKINS ARE ULTRA RARE TO GET IN FN?

BRO SOME SKINS IN FACTORY NEW ARE SO RARE THAT LIKE ONLY A FEW EXIST IN THE ENTIRE GAME AND PEOPLE DONT EVEN REALIZE IT

THE AWP ASIIMOV IN FN?? THE FLOAT RANGE CAPS AT 0.18 SO TECHNICALLY FN DOESNT EVEN EXIST BUT THE CLOSEST ONES TO FN GO FOR INSANE MONEY. SAME WITH THE AK SAFARI MESH IN FN… YEAH A SAFARI MESH😂😂 SOUNDS LIKE A TRASH SKIN BUT IN FN ITS ACTUALLY SUPER RARE CUZ THE FLOAT RANGE IS TERRIBLE

AND DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE M4A4 ASIIMOV IN FN… THAT THING IS BASICALLY A MYTH. IF YOU HAVE ONE YOURE SITTING ON A GOLD MINE FR

WHAT OTHER SKINS DO YALL KNOW THAT ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO GET IN FN??

Topic 15: AGENTS MIGHT BE THE MOST OVERLOOKED ITEMS IN CS HISTORY!!

AGENTS MIGHT BE THE MOST OVERLOOKED ITEMS IN CS HISTORY!!

YO WHY DOES NOBODY TALK ABOUT AGENTS?? LIKE THESE ARE LITERALLY FULL CHARACTER MODELS THAT YOU SEE THE ENTIRE GAME AND PEOPLE WOULD RATHER SPEND 500 ON A KNIFE THEY BARELY SEE😂

SOME OF THESE AGENTS LOOK SO FIRE THO… MASTER AGENT AVA AND SIR BLOODY MIAMI DARRYL GO CRAZY. AND THE BEST PART?? MOST OF THEM ARE UNDER 5 BUCKS. YOU CAN HAVE THE COOLEST LOOKING CHARACTER IN THE LOBBY FOR THE PRICE OF A COFFEE

YEAH THEY CAN GIVE YOU A SLIGHT VISUAL ADVANTAGE ON SOME MAPS CUZ OF THE COLORS BUT HONESTLY THATS JUST A BONUS. AGENTS ARE THE BEST VALUE ITEMS IN CS2 AND NOBODY IS READY FOR THAT CONVERSATION

AGENTS UNDERRATED OR JUST BORING?? LMK

Topic 16: PATCHES…. PINS…. VALVE…. RLY???

PATCHES…. PINS…. VALVE…. RLY???

BRO WHO ASKED FOR PATCHES AND PINS?? LIKE ACTUALLY WHO WENT TO VALVE AND SAID "YEAH WE WANT TINY LITTLE IMAGES ON OUR AGENTS THAT NOBODY CAN EVEN SEE IN GAME"😂😂

PATCHES ARE LITERALLY THE SIZE OF A PIXEL AND PINS… BRO YOU CANT EVEN SEE PINS IN GAME AT ALL. THEY ONLY SHOW UP ON YOUR PROFILE. VALVE IS JUST MAKING ITEMS TO FILL CASES AT THIS POINT AND DILUTE THE DROP POOL SO YOU GET LESS ACTUAL GOOD STUFF

THE ONLY GOOD THING ABOUT PINS IS SOME OF THE RARE ONES ARE WORTH DECENT MONEY BUT THATS IT. THEY COULD HAVE PUT THAT DEVELOPMENT TIME INTO LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE… NEW MAPS?? NEW GUNS?? BETTER ANTI CHEAT?? NAH LETS MAKE MORE PATCHES😂

DOES ANYONE ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT PATCHES AND PINS?? BE REAL

Topic 17: P250 SAND DUNE OVER DLORE, WHY?

P250 SAND DUNE OVER DLORE, WHY?

OK THIS MIGHT BE MY MOST CONTROVERSIAL TAKE EVER BUT… P250 SAND DUNE > DRAGON LORE. AND IM DEAD SERIOUS😂

THE SAND DUNE IS THE ULTIMATE MEME SKIN. ITS THE MOST ICONIC SKIN IN CS HISTORY AND EVERYONE KNOWS IT. WHEN YOU SEE SOMEONE ROCKING A SAND DUNE YOU KNOW THEYRE EITHER BROKE OR A LEGEND AND THERES NO IN BETWEEN

MEANWHILE THE DLORE IS COOL BUT ITS JUST… A FLEX. NOBODY IS ACTUALLY USING AN AWP EVERY ROUND AND WHEN SOMEONE DROPS A 1500 DOLLAR DLORE AND WHIFFS THE SHOT ITS THE FUNNIEST THING EVER. BUT THE SAND DUNE?? THE SAND DUNE NEVER MISSES CUZ EXPECTATIONS ARE ALREADY ON THE FLOOR😂😂

SAND DUNE OR DLORE?? AND YOU BETTER SAY SAND DUNE

Topic 18: THE NEW ARMORY AK IS THE WORST AK IN THE WHOLE GAME!!

THE NEW ARMORY AK IS THE WORST AK IN THE WHOLE GAME!!

BRO THE AK-47 INHERITANCE FROM THE ARMORY IS ACTUALLY SO MID ITS INSANE… LIKE VALVE HYPED THIS THING UP AND FOR WHAT??

THE DESIGN LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING FROM A FREE TO PLAY MOBILE GAME😂 ITS GOT ALL THESE RANDOM PATTERNS AND COLORS THAT DONT GO TOGETHER AND FOR 125 STARS?? YOU COULD GET SO MANY BETTER AK SKINS FOR WAY LESS. THE REDLINE IS 15 BUCKS AND LOOKS 10X BETTER

AND THE WORST PART IS PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY GRINDING FOR IT CUZ ITS "EXCLUSIVE" BUT EXCLUSIVE DOESNT MEAN GOOD. A GOLD TOILET IS EXCLUSIVE TOO THAT DONT MEAN I WANT ONE

WORST AK IN THE GAME OR AM I TRIPPING?? LMK

Topic 19: THIS IS THE GREEDIEST MOVE EVER FROM VALVE…. (125 STARS AK)

THIS IS THE GREEDIEST MOVE EVER FROM VALVE…. (125 STARS AK)

125 STARS FOR AN AK SKIN. LET THAT SINK IN… 125 STARS😂😂

BRO DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG IT TAKES TO GET 125 STARS WITHOUT PAYING?? LITERAL MONTHS OF GRINDING WEEKLY MISSIONS. OR YOU CAN JUST BUY STARS FROM THE MARKET AND SPEND LIKE WHAT… 80+ DOLLARS?? FOR ONE SINGLE SKIN??

VALVE BASICALLY MADE A BATTLE PASS WHERE THE FINAL REWARD COSTS MORE THAN MOST KNIVES ON BUFF. AND THE SKIN ISNT EVEN THAT GOOD!! THIS IS STRAIGHT UP PREDATORY AND THE FACT THAT PEOPLE ARE OK WITH IT BLOWS MY MIND

THEY KEEP PUSHING THE LIMIT EVERY UPDATE TO SEE HOW MUCH THEY CAN CHARGE AND WE JUST KEEP PAYING… GREEDIEST MOVE EVER OR IS THERE WORSE?? LMK

Topic 20: IMAGINE A NEW OPERATION…

IMAGINE A NEW OPERATION…

BRO IMAGINE IF VALVE ACTUALLY DROPPED A NEW OPERATION IN 2025… THE INTERNET WOULD LITERALLY BREAK😂😂

REMEMBER OPERATION RIPTIDE?? SHATTERED WEB?? THOSE WERE THE BEST TIMES IN CS HISTORY. NEW MISSIONS NEW SKINS NEW MAPS NEW AGENTS NEW EVERYTHING. THE GAME FELT ALIVE AND EVERYONE WAS PLAYING

BUT VALVE REPLACED OPERATIONS WITH THE ARMORY AND BRO… ITS NOT THE SAME. THE ARMORY IS JUST A GLORIFIED SHOP WITH A STAR GRIND. OPERATIONS HAD ACTUAL CONTENT AND STORYLINES AND CO-OP MISSIONS AND ALL THAT

IF THEY ANNOUNCED AN OPERATION TOMORROW WITH EXCLUSIVE KNIFE SKINS AND NEW MAPS THE PLAYER COUNT WOULD DOUBLE IN A WEEK. BUT THEY WONT DO IT CUZ THE ARMORY MAKES THEM MONEY WITH LESS EFFORT😂

WOULD YOU WANT A NEW OPERATION OR NAH?? DROP A YES IN THE COMMENTS
