Warn Highway before breaking the Mid smoke
1Before the Mid Rifler throws an HE through the Mid smoke, warn Highway so the cross is not exposed without support.

AWP
- Bridge Mid and A, blocking Mid early and supporting the A Anchor in the midround.
- Coordinate with the B Rotator to pop one side of the Vents; pop it far away so enemies don't understand a threat is close
- Be ready to throw front-Red flashes when A contact is made. Call the flash as you throw it.
- When Ts take Mid, fall toward Toxic while continuing to watch Mid
- Smoke A Main and listen from Fork for the entry count.
- Avoid dry A Main duels; play Fork, Quad, or site angles with support from Highway.
- When Ts commit, block site access with Molotovs and Smokes (you can pickup a 2nd smoke from the Highway player)
- When Mid or B is lost, take A Main behind a flash from the Highway player for early information.
- Start around Headshot or site and hold for B Main contact.
- Preserve Checkers control whenever possible.
- When B Main audio arrives, stop dry-peeking and flash for the Checkers player.
- When isolated, use information, cover, and site smoke to delay rather than overfight.
- Treat Vents as the bridge between Mid and B, boost inside of it often (either starting heavy mid, or with the B Anchor behind a smoke) this will make it more difficult for the Ts to take both Mid and B
- Coordinate Vents access and concealment, including the Highway player breaking Vents for a close teammate.
- Support the B Anchor through Checkers rather than dry peeking B Main.
- Deny the fast Mid take with Garage utility and a Boost molotov. Ideally Garage has Molly+HE and Boost gets Mollied.
- Use Mid information to decide whether the defense weights toward Vent/B or Highway/A.
- When Z is not smoked and CTs are not playing for Mid, stay inside Z for a quick, safe rotation to either site.
- When rotating through CT Spawn to B, offer the B Anchor a pop flash through Heaven.
Cache CT defense is a push-pull around Mid: deny the fast take, then take A Main or hold B Main and Checkers when Ts win space elsewhere.
- Open by blocking Mid with the Garage molotov and HE, then throw the Boost molotov to stop early aggression.
- If three players start Mid and the B Rotator reaches Vents, rotate Z to Truck; Vents holds Mid while keeping Checkers available for B.
- When Mid falls, have Highway fall to Toxic while Z begins a passive rotation toward Heaven or Truck.
- When a lane is lost, have anchors delay with cover and utility while rotators support the threatened site.
Take A Main when Mid or B is lost
2When Ts take Mid or reach Checkers, ask the Highway player to flash A Main so the A Anchor can take space, then release support toward the threatened lane.
Call the Squeaky door for Highway
3When A hears Squeaky open, warn Highway immediately so the rotator does not walk into the door angle.
Concede Mid as a unit
4When Mid is lost, have Highway fall toward Toxic while Z starts a passive rotation toward Heaven or Truck.
Flash front Red on A contact
5When the A Anchor calls the hit, have Highway announce and throw the front-Red flash before Ts clear the site.
Flash Checkers on B Main audio
6When B Main contact is heard, have Headshot stop peeking and bounce a flash for the Checkers player to swing.
Flash through Heaven on B contact
7When B calls the hit, have the Mid or B Rotator announce and throw the Heaven flash before peeking with it.
Conceal the Vents pop
8When Mid pressure is expected, coordinate Highway and B Rotator utility to pop one side of Vents from a distance so the close threat stays hidden.
Lean toward the heavier T side
9When Mid information identifies more T presence toward Vent/B or Highway/A, have the Mid Rifler lean toward that side while preserving the opposite rotation.
Support the isolated B Anchor
10When B Main contact isolates the B Anchor, stop dry-peeking and use Heaven flashes, cover, and site smoke to delay the hit.
Preserve the Quad molly for the A retake
11When the defense gives A for a retake, save one molly for Quad so the re-entry is not stopped by the strongest post-plant hold.
