rely on some aim instead of ur nade spam.
Grenades aren't used much at all in 1v1's, simply because both players tend to sit back behind polygons and spray.
Owls is saying that the competitive duelists ( such as sneaky fecktard ) tend to use the same tactic - which means running around the map, constantly luring the enemy into your spray. If your enemy does that, than your nades will depend more on luck than on skill - however, when you're the one on the good side of the steyr, they do wonders, carving down huge chunks of HP off the enemy.
As for grenades, once again..... They are one of the key things that make good players, great. Without them soldat would be quite boring in my opinion, and there would be almost no surprises in any clanwars. Whether you think they're cheap or if you think they don't take any skill, that's your opinion. But the whole soldat community has embraced them as a major part of the game. Not using grenades in scrims or gathers, is like going into a boxing fight, using only one arm. It's a huge disadvantage against you, so why would you limit yourself like that?
Again, its all about personal preferences, I'm against things that are known to be great, even overpowered. I would rather pick a gun or tactics, that are none the less good, yet under appreciated by most people. Using a overpowered, overused weapon does not gives me the sense of accomplishment that the later does. (Even at CS, I never use AK, M4, or Deagle, my gun of choice are Famas and scout, less powerful version of M4 and AWP, but when you are good enough, you can own with those none the less)

The other reason is that duels are a fairly inaccurate way to know one's level of skill and that it always turns into a stupid hide and seek game where the other player runs away and you have to chase him and everyone knows where that will lead.
I'm glad it wasn't like that with you excruciator and dueling you was definitely pretty fun as I think we were both on the offense and there was no hiding, spraying, nade spamming or anything of the sort.
But even so, I still think CTF is much better for gauging one's skill because the pace is faster, there are tactics involved and you don't have as much time to think which makes it a lot more intense and more difficult to play against good players. You need to be more aware all the time and there's just this GREATER UNDERSTANDING OF THE GAME which isn't apparent in duels. I think a decent player can put up a fight against a clearly better one in duels while in ctf he could lose easily, especially if it was 3v3, assuming the skill difference would be the same between all the players.
But again, if someone likes dueling, I think dueling excruciator was more fun than I have had dueling in a long time so you could take up on the offer.
Thats why CTF in the same respect is also about luck. Whoever spawns the fastest to get a head start, whoever dies in a 4-man buttsex orgy in the middle of the map, etc. 1v1 tests a player's pure ability to play. A lot of people complain that 1v1 is all about defense camping and "basing" as the Australians put it. If you duel an opponent who does such (Like me :F), the real skill is manipulating every situation to place yourself in a superior position. 1v1 requires a lot more mental strength, whereas CTF is more based on preset strategies and instincts.
