Reboost after the Boost molly
1When CT utility burns the first player off Boost, have the A Extremity reboost them, then return to A Main so the lane stays covered.

AWP
- Start most rounds by smoking Z and putting at least one player on Boost
- When taking Mid, coordinate the entry between garage and boost, then threaten Highway and Vents with Molotovs and flashes.
- Ensure that someone is flashing Highway to push the CT back and create space for your Mid entry
- If you get one or two untraded frags in Mid, reset and go quiet to confuse the defenders, then regroup as four or five and hit a site together on contact.
- Keep B Main represented while monitoring CT pushes and reporting which space is open.
- If CTs smoke B Main, take Sun Room, check the push, and stay alive.
- After Mid is won, flash teammates from Vents into Checkers.
- Throw CT Spawn and Heaven utility to support the split.
- Boost the first Mid player, then track whether CTs push, how many players are near A, and whether the A anchor has taken space.
- When the pack splits through Highway, pinch from A Main late: let the Highway players take contact while you contain A Main.
- Avoid solo dry-peeking Quad or Fork; stay anti-flash and babysit the extremity unless you deliberately choose an active Squeaky fight.
- Use light utility to disrupt the A anchor, especially flashes or mollies for Fence and Quad.
- Float between Mid, A, and B
- Support teammates with utility to take map control
- Walk the AWP to find entries with your riflers ready to trade
- Float between Mid, A, and B as the second flexible player
- Stay with the pack to help trade and coordinate pushes
- Stay alive to facilitate the finish with flashes, utility, or split pressure
Cache T rounds run through Mid: keep A Main and B Main alive, force the Mid defenders to reveal their shape, then split through Highway or Vents.
- Make three-player Mid pressure the baseline: smoke Z, occupy Boost, clear Sandbags, flash Highway, and trade the ground pair.
- Keep A Main and B Main represented so the extremities can report CT pushes, utility usage, open lanes, and whether either anchor has taken space.
- If CTs hard-fight Mid and commit Vents, clear Vents; B pressure pulls the rotation and opens Mid or A.
- Once a split is chosen, have the extremity player for the opposite site lurk toward Mid, take a flank, or slowly rotate through Spawn toward the chosen site.
Time the Highway flash with Mid contact
2As the ground pair starts its Mid swing, have the support flash Highway so Boost can trade the close fight.
Take Sun Room behind the B Main smoke
3When CTs smoke B Main early, have the B Extremity take Sun Room, check the push, and stay alive to enable the split.
Turn Mid control into Checkers
4When the Mid group reaches Vents, the B Extremity flashes teammates into Checkers, then throws the CT Spawn and Heaven utility.
Use Z as the late rotation cut
5When a lurker reaches Z unseen during a Highway or Vents split, have them hold the Truck rotation until the pack is secure.
Keep both extremities represented
6When the Mid group takes space, keep A Main and B Main represented so the extremities can report CT pushes and identify the open split.
Contain A Main during the Highway split
7When the pack splits through Highway, have the Highway players take contact while A Main contains the anchor and prevents a push.
Disrupt the A anchor before the split
8When preparing an A split, use light flashes or mollies for Fence and Quad so the A anchor cannot hold the site comfortably.
