Setups
What to reinforce, when to roam, and how an execute is not walking main.
Oregon 路 Prep + first 30 seconds
Drone First
A dead drone is cheaper than a dead operator. Drone the roam, then the room, then walk.
Best for: Attackers who walk big tower because they are bored
Clubhouse 路 Prep phase
Site Setup
Rotate holes, default cams, and a way to see the plant. Pretty fortresses that block your own rotate lose retakes.
Best for: Teams that reinforce the wrong bomb and block their own rotate
Clubhouse 路 Last 45 seconds of a planned hit
Attack Execute
Clear roamers, open a line, plant with cover utility. Five people walking main is not a strategy.
Best for: Five-stacks that walk main and wonder why the plant never happens
Oregon 路 Until 0:45, then site
Roam With a Clock
Waste time, get back for the plant. A spawn peek that dies is a 4v5.
Best for: Roamers who spawn peek and spectate
Kafe Dostoyevsky 路 The round
Vertical Play
Floors and hatches exist so you can stop holding one door. Assume plywood is not cover.
Best for: Teams that hold one door and die through the floor
Ranked 路 Ban phase + the match
Ranked Pool and Bans
Ban maps and ops with your stack. Solo queue still needs a drone habit. A small flexible pool beats 40 operators you cannot play.
Best for: Solo queue that never drones and instalocks a banned op
