Trade fragging
Trade fragging means quickly killing an enemy right after they kill one of your teammates, so the exchange ends even rather than in the enemy's favor. Even though you lose a player, you deny the opponent a free pick and an advantage.
Effective trading depends on positioning: teammates stay close enough to punish a peek but not so bunched up that one grenade kills both. It is a core part of team play, turning individual deaths into manageable trades. A team that trades consistently can win duels collectively even when individuals lose their one-on-ones.
