Strategy
T-Side Strategy
- 01Outside control is the T win condition — 3-smoke wall then take Garage + Secret.
- 02Split A: Squeaky + Hut simultaneously with Heaven smoked.
- 03Ramp control lets you play Vents/B slow with sound denial.
- 04Vary tempo: Nuke CTs feast on predictable slow rounds.
CT-Side Strategy
- 01Default 3 up top (A/Ramp/Outside) — Ramp player is your info anchor.
- 02Contest Outside with utility, not bodies; the smoke wall costs Ts 15 seconds.
- 03Heaven AWP covers both site entries — protect it with a Hut molotov.
- 04Rotate through Vents faster than Ts can — use the vertical advantage.
