Something was wrong with a competitive game in CS:GO:

After I have died, a member of my team was killed by me, although I was already spectating the player in question.

There was a lot of smoke and I wasn’t paying much attention; so I did see who killed him, however I did get there severe warning you get when you kill someone “kill 3 more team mates…” I was willing to overlook this and just carried on the game. My Team suggest that say to throw it a spawn so they think we are camped there. I think it’s not worth the effort of not doing it and getting shouted at so I go and waste $50. Ones done I head to bomb A (inferno) my mini map say that my whole team is still at spawn but I don’t really care. But then I get kick for killing too many of my team mates. I haven’t fired a shot all round all I did was throw that decoy graded.

So my question is what did I do? How can I make a team kill although I just threw a decoy in the whole round?

    What killed your team mate is the explotion of a decoy. When a decoy(grenade for 50$) is thrown and lands, it makes the sound of your weapon for 15 seconds. After this time it explodes and gives around 5 damage in a tiny radius. So a team mate with low HP probably waited on your thrown decoy for explotion in order to get you kicked by the automatic kick system.

    The question is legit actually although it seems pretty unclear if you don't play CS:GO due to the lack of correct grammar and spelling. I corrected the crucial parts so that it should be understandable. The answer is the comment above.

Every grenade does damage- especially in this case when they hit people. They don't damage much, but it still counts as friendly fire, so be careful where you throw your grenades.

There is a nice video showing it, more can be found by googling "CS:GO flash hit kill":

  • He says that he made the kill when he was already spectating, can't be a flashbang so, but only the explotion of a decoy.

Did you throw a decoy?

Decoy nades explode after a while, and though they only do something like 2 or 3 damage, it is still enough to be lethal in rare circumstances - even to teammates.

It is possible a teammate had 3 HP and stepped on the decoy when it blew up - killing him in the process.
