Execution sequence
Mission brief
Two through Donut and two through A Main hit the A site simultaneously at 1:00. Support sequences CT smoke then Donut flash to kill all rotations. AWPer throws Red Room smoke from mid before pushing Waterfall. Lurker locks Cave to seal the B-side flank.

Smoke order matters: CT smoke leaves support's hand before the Donut flash — a reversed order flashes a smoked entry. Abort criteria: entry takes contact in Donut before the smoke call, or we lose two players pre-utility — IGL calls reset and we default B. Lurker discipline: hold Cave until the plant is confirmed, then push to cut any CT retake lane; do not rotate early or the B flank opens.

A Default — Mid Read
A siteComplexity 2/3Read-driven default. AWPer and IGL take mid for picks and information, entry and support stage on the donut approach, lurker watches cave. If mid tells us A is thin, the 0:55 hit goes in from two angles — donut behind the donut flash, mid group up A main behind red room and CT smokes. Lurker stays home so B can't punish.

A Split Rush — Pistol
A siteComplexity 1/3Pistol-round A pincer at full sprint. Donut prong (entry + support) rushes the donut approach behind one flash; main prong (AWPer + IGL + lurker) sprints mid into A main. Both prongs land at 1:31 — the A pair faces two doors with pistol utility. Support carries and plants.

B Execute — Force Buy Fast
B siteComplexity 2/3Force-buy round hit fast before CT utility resets. Four-man pack — entry, support, AWPer, IGL — runs straight up B ramp and hits the site at 1:27 behind a ramp pop-flash and a B Long smoke. Lurker splits to Cave, smokes the deep-Cave angle on the call, and pinches B short as the second prong. IGL carries the bomb and plants for the ramp/short crossfire.
- 04
B Rush — Cave
B siteComplexity 1/3All five stack Cave on pistol round and flood B Short as a single wave. Support drops a Cave smoke to blind the mid-CT angle, then throws two flashes into B site. Entry and AWPer clear first, lurker plants default, IGL watches the A Main connector for late CT rotation.

Mid Control — A Split
A siteComplexity 3/3Entry and support apply sustained Donut pressure while AWPer and IGL set up A Main. On the IGL's go-call, both groups execute simultaneously — AWPer jumpthrows Red Room smoke, support sequences CT smoke then Donut flash. Lurker cuts the CT rotation lane from Cave. The synced two-angle hit forces at least a 2v1 on A site.
