trade

Definition

A trade is when a teammate kills an enemy who has just killed your other teammate, even-trading the round. In Counter-Strike the rule of thumb is "don't peek without a trade," because solo deaths cripple round economy. Trade-fragging requires coordinated positioning, communication, and quick reaction times.

Example

"Take the entry — I'll trade you." The supporting player commits to following up if the entry dies.
