Counter-Strike 2 players have discovered a novel method of peek-shooting, the Michael Jackson Peek, which makes them look like the King of Pop, doing one of his slip-slidey dance moves. You might say there's been an outbreak of Smooth Crime, hee heeee! Sorry, I wish I were cool enough to explain this properly. It's probably best you just watch the footage below.
It's not some fleeting glitch - the move appears to have been in Valve's shooter since before the 1.0 release, going by the other videos I've dug up, and people are now using it in pro matches. Players have discovered a custom key bind that lets you perform the trick by running while holding alt - as with any and all acts of meddling beneath a game's hood, please deploy it at your own risk. Simply paste this into the autoexec file - located at Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\game\csgo\cfg\autoexec.cfg - and off you go, you speed demon, you superfly sister, you little red corvette! Wait, scratch that last one - it's by Prince.
I haven't seen any evidence that the Michael Jackson Peek gives you a huge edge in Counter-Strike 2, but the surprise and hopefully, paralysing upsurge of pop nostalgia when another player sees you do it for the first time will probably count in your favour. If you're worried about getting banned for cheating, it may reassure you to know that the official Counter-Strike 2 Xitter banner art now looks like this.
I'm going to call that Valve giving the move their blessing.
