If you open with counterspell then the mage can just iceblock your proceeding fireball, then they're free to poly you with 100% health. I'm not saying that opening with counterspell never works...it just isn't optimal. If you're going to use it strictly for the silence affect, then you're better off doing it in the middle of the fight. If you can open with a poly, then you get to fireball + fireblast them while they aren't doing anything to you, then you can silence them if you want and get another free fireball....just seems to make more sense to me.

If a mage were to get counterspelled in the midst of an opening Fireball/Frostbolt a four second silence is likely to be applied, which probably means that mage would either be polymorphed themselves or get lit up while silenced. I much prefer being the one who does the lighting up.

They'd have to be pretty desperate to show off (tryhard) to pop an early Ice Block 1v1 in a Battleground unless there was a real purpose to it i.e. defending a flag in AB. Even then, I imagine it more practical to save it.

Maybe he knows he sucks so needs to tip the balance in his favour.
Either way, he stopped you capping a Base, so he's doing it right.
have you no honor mate?
