Positions

AWP

- Establish Middle with utility, preserve the space, and relay rotation and audio information (4:37).
- If CT utility makes the solo fight expensive, disengage and connect toward Ebox, A Main, or B Main (5:02).
- Take the space that threatens A and B splits through Camera and Ebox, then determine whether the rotator is playing Middle.
- Smoke Camera to force the rotator toward B Conn or Middle, weakening B for the split and usually creating a 2-1-2 CT setup.
See Responsibilities
- Play the "Joker" position: split time between A, B, Canals, and Middle while helping the pack take space.
- Throw the Ebox smoke early in most rounds to deny CT information.
- If you reach the space outside Ebox, molotov inside to force the defender back onto B Site or Yekindar.
See Responsibilities
- Contain the A Main push while supporting Middle with smoke, molotov, and flash utility; know the House molly, B Connector smoke, Camera molly, and A execute nades.
- When the team plays Heavy Water (1-1-3), take A Main with supporting flashes and, when useful, the A Main smoke.
- When the team plays for a B split, walk up Canals with the Canals player.
See Responsibilities
- Hold or probe B Main: deny a CT retake, use early control utility, or stay alive as the B watcher (2:24).
- On the B finish, supply the Temple or left-side smoke and the back-plat molotov (9:41).
- Retain B pressure while Middle and Ebox develop, then join the grouped split instead of remaining an isolated lurk (8:15).
See Responsibilities
- Deny CT opening AWP picks and protect teammates as they take space, including the left-eye Middle peek and the left-eye Ebox pick from Water (6:48).
- Hold rotation lines during site executes so teammates can focus on the remaining sightlines.
- Provide supporting utility across the map.
See Responsibilities

Game Plan

Fix A Main and B Main while the pack takes Middle and Canals; identify the CT rotator, then split the site that loses its extra defender.

Establish Middle with utility and threaten the next progression phase, but commit to deep Middle only when a teammate can support and trade.
Keep both extremities alive while the pack takes Middle and Canals, preserving both site finishes until the rotator is identified.
Use Middle pressure to identify which site loses its extra defender, then split that site.
Once the finish is called, have the opposite extremity either hold the late lurk or join the Middle group.

Protocols

If the Mid fight is expensive, cancel & regroup

1When Middle meets layered CT utility without a teammate ready to trade, stop the pressure and reconnect through Canals, A Main, or B Main; if the CT utility expires, call teammates back to retake Middle together.

B sends its third defender Middle: split B

2When Middle confirms that B's extra defender has rotated into Middle, send A Extremity through Canals and keep B Extremity with the B Main group to split the weakened B site.
