Map: Dust 2
Side: Terrorist (T)

Overview

This strategy focuses on taking long control with a delayed approach. Players are assigned specific roles to manage aggression, control utility usage, and execute the site take efficiently.

Minimum Utility Requirement

• 3 smokes: Long corner, cross, CT ramp/spawn.
• 3 flashes: Long take, pit/long, A site crunch.
• 1 molotov: Car.
• Total minimum grenades: 7

Optional extras:

• HE grenades for spamming A site.
• Additional molotov for goose or site box if needed.

Player Roles & Responsibilities

1. Tunnel Lurker

   • Position: Hold in tunnels.
   • Objective: Maintain map control and provide information on rotations.
   • Timing: Rotate towards cat after long control is contested.

2. Top Mid/Suicide Holder

   • Position: Top mid or suicide alley.
   • Objective: Watch for mid pushes and provide early information.
   • Timing: Rotate to cat as long control is contested.

3. Long Door Holder

   • Position: Near long doors.
   • Objective: Hold against aggression and track enemy grenade usage to gauge player count at long.

4. Long Corner Smoker

   • Position: T-spawn.
   • Objective: Prepare and execute long corner smoke to block enemy vision for the long push.

5. Mid/Cat Smoker

   • Position: T-spawn.
   • Objective: Prepare and execute a smoke for mid or cat to support rotations and cover cat players.

Execution Steps

1. Setup Phase

   • Spread out in positions:
     • Tunnel lurker in tunnels.
     • Suicide holder at top mid or suicide alley.
     • Long doors holder near doors.
     • Utility players (long corner smoker & mid/cat smoker) in T-spawn.

2. Utility Preparation

   • Long corner smoke: Thrown to cover the long corner and allow for safe crossing.
   • Mid/cat smoke: Thrown to block mid or cover a cat rotation.

3. Utility Execution

   • After smokes are thrown:
     • Long doors holder flashes out the two utility players for long take.
     • Utility players move out to contest long control.

4. Rotations

   • Tunnel lurker and top mid holder rotate to cat during the long contest.

5. Post-Long Control

   • Use two smokes:
     • One for cross (to block A site vision).
     • One for CT ramp/spawn (to deny CT support).
   • Molotov: Throw onto car from safe barrel.
   • Spam windows to apply pressure.

6. A Site Crunch

   • Clear pit and flash remaining long players onto the site.
   • Cat players coordinate with long players to pinch site defenders.

Key Notes

• Communication is critical between the long and cat players to synchronize the A site crunch.
• Save utility for the cross and CT smokes.
• Ensure pit is cleared and car is molotov’d before committing to the site.
