No time measured on today’s version of this map is published, so none is shown — the routes and what delays them are what the sources agree on.

Common wallbangs

From → target · why · needsSide

CThit Ts heard in Apartments early · requires a sound cue

CTclear a post-plant hider on the B retake · rifle; stand on the flower pot

Tclear a CT in Pit before entering · blind pre-fire

Tkill a Pit player stopping the entry · crouch behind the Balcony wall; pre-2026 geometry

Every row is community-reported — verify it in the current build before relying on it. Each row’s needs line links its source.

Alias collision resolver

Pick your team’s word once — saved on this device and used on the map.

“quad” — Profilerr: 'Quad' is the radar name for Patio by A Short, and Valve's 2025-10-22 notes mention 'top of Quad'. totalcsgo and Hotspawn put Quad at the back of B; Profilerr's strategy page calls a B box 'Tri Box (Quad)'.

“truck” — totalcsgo, Profilerr and Winio: Truck is by A Short. Hotspawn's 'Truck' is next to CT Spawn, which totalcsgo calls 'Truck (B)' and Profilerr 'Truck (Well)'.

“close left” — totalcsgo: Close Left is a box close-left of A from Short. Profilerr merges it with Moto ('Close Left/Moto'), a corner by Library on the Long side.

“construction” — Same place, three names: community 'Construction' or 'Church' (Winio, Profilerr, Hotspawn), and 'Ruins' on the radar (in-game place).

“balcony” — A-site Balcony comes off Apartments over Pit; totalcsgo and Hotspawn also call the T-side balcony by Living Room facing Window 'Balcony'.

Default CT setup · anchor angles

First contact: Banana / Logs
Fallback: Coffins
Escape: CT
Utility: Early Logs molotov; HE and flashes for the Banana fight
Never expose: Giving Banana up without info or utility

Usually 2 B + 3 A-side (Pit, Default, Arch/Library flex who can rotate to B); cs2flow also lists 2 A / 1 Mid / 2 B. A convention, not a rule.
