Eco and Force-Buy Plan

If you cannot buy rifles plus nades after a loss, save. A Deagle round is a gamble with a plan, not five disconnected peeks.

Best for: Teams that force-buy into rifles and then eco twice

Step-by-step

  1. 1

    IGL calls save, force, or buy before anyone autobuy. Autobuy is how you brick the half.

  2. 2

    On a save: pistols, armor if you can, and a stack on a close site. Play for a bomb plant or a stolen gun.

  3. 3

    On a force: pick one close angle (B tunnels, banana, apartments). Do not take a 30-meter rifle fight.

  4. 4

    If you win an eco, buy together next round. Do not have two rifles and three pistols.

  5. 5

    After a lost anti-eco, do not force again. Two poor buys in a row gift the half.

Tips

  • Armor + Tec-9/Five-Seven in a doorway beats an AWP on an eco if you close the distance.
  • Planting for a save round still helps the next buy. A plant is not nothing.
  • CTs on eco: smoke a door and play together. Five 1v1s against rifles lose.
