Cache strats — T default, CT setup and executesCache

1. 1A Main — Lurk A Main quietly; punish CTs who push out.finds out: Early CT aggression and A-side presence.
2. 2Garage — Utility player: smoke Connector early and flash Mid so the group can cross.finds out: Whether a CT is contesting Mid from Connector/Sandbags.stop if: Once Mid is owned the group turns the control into a Highway or Vents split.
3. 3Mid — Take the Boost when CTs give space.finds out: Elevated look over Mid toward Highway and Connector.stop if: When CT utility on Boost (smoke or molotov) forces the player down.
4. 4Vents — Hold Vents to cover the flank and keep the B split open.finds out: CT pushes through Vents/Checkers.stop if: When the team commits to a split (Vents/Checkers for B or Highway for A).
5. 5B Main — Pressure toward B so the B players cannot leave.finds out: B anchor positions and aggression.

1. 1Quad — Lone A anchor: hold the site from the back boxes, watching both A Main and Squeaky, and stay alive until help arrives.
2. 2Connector — First Mid player: hold Mid from Z/Connector and be the swing player for either site.
3. 3Highway — Second Mid player: cover Highway so a Mid-to-A split cannot walk in; first help for A.
4. 4Headshot — B site anchor: play on site and delay the B Main entry.
5. 5Checkers — Second B player: hold Checkers to catch Vents/Checkers splits and cross with the site player.

1. 1Agree on one simple default each round; full executes rarely work with randoms. guide
2. 2Learn and throw your own key smokes instead of counting on teammates to do it. guide
3. 3Call exact numbers, positions (callouts, not "left"), utility you see and kills you get; say when you are guessing and how old your information is. guide
4. 4Announce anything that departs from the plan — taking the bomb elsewhere or lurking; an unannounced lurk just leaves the team a player down. guide
5. 5If unsure what to play, take support: learn a handful of grenades, throw them for others and trade. guide
6. 6Stay quiet in clutches unless the info is vital, never flame randoms, mute if needed. guide
7. 7Settle buys together in freeze time; players with spare money drop weapons for poorer teammates. guide

  Call it when: Standard A hit; strongest when Highway is controlled or smoked so the site gets no help from Mid.Entry order: Utility lands first; the A Main group and the Squeaky player swing on the same flash; clear Forklift and Balcony first, then the rest of the site.Plant: Default A (a spot the A Main lane can cover)Post-plant: Spread to A Main, Forklift and Squeaky and cover the bomb from there instead of standing on it.$1,600 of grenades at Valve’s prices — whether the round can carry it is the economy board’s call.Post-plant spots come from the 2025 gocsgo guide (flagged); eloking (2026) agrees on playing from the A Main lane.5 guides · newest 24 Jul 2026

1. 1. Smoke → QuadCross smoke filling the gap between Quad and Truck; cuts Highway/Truck sightlines.
2. 2. Smoke → HighwaySource calls it the Catwalk smoke (Catwalk/Highway); isolates the Mid-side helper.
3. 3. Molotov → Forklift
4. 4. Molotov → QuadSource names Quad plus a tight corner between A Main and Quad.
5. 5. Flash → A MainFlash over A Main; a pop flash through Squeaky is the alternative.

• Taking first contact with nobody close enough to trade.→ Only take an early fight if a teammate can trade it or it buys real information.
• Swinging before the smoke blooms or the flash pops.→ Wait for the utility, then go together with the entry.
• Rotating on one sound or the first sign of a fake.→ Rotate on confirmed information; rotators should judge whether the noise is real.
• Overpeeking after a kill, dry-peeking an AWP, rotating late.→ Review your own deaths: did I need to be there, did I need that fight?
• Uneven buying — four save while one buys an unsupported rifle.→ Match the team spend so the next round is a proper buy.
• Retaking one at a time or alone.→ Wait for teammates on other paths and enter together; call the utility you are throwing.
• Vague calls like "they're B" after seeing one or two enemies.→ Give the exact number you saw.
• Dying with unused utility.→ Spend grenades to take space, delay or retake.

• Stay tradeable: keep enough spacing that a teammate can punish your killer — not stacked on top of each other, not so far back that the defender escapes. guide
• The trading player swings right after first contact, before the enemy can reset; on a numbers advantage, count down a double peek. guide
• Do not be the first to see an enemy unless the trade or your utility is ready; an entry only works as a pair, and an untraded first death gives the enemy free value. guide
• On CT side, being tradeable means crossfires, a support angle or a fallback route rather than a lone early fight. guide
• In retakes, enter together and trade instantly instead of trickling in. guide

• Cache returned to CS2 matchmaking 2026-04-28 and to Active Duty with Premier Season 5 (July 2026). 2026 sources are primary; two 2025 guides (profilerr, gocsgo) cover the pre-Valve community version and are flagged wherever used. Valve patched clipping/boosts after release (May 2026 and 2026-08-03), so utility lineups from older guides need retesting.

Each line on this board is a row from a guide — a default, a setup, a branch, an execute — cited where it shows. The missing-player rule, the swap rule and the coordination count are ours, and say so.

Entry:

First player into contested space; job is to win the opening duel or die where a teammate can trade and take the space.

Support:

Throws most of the set utility, flashes for others and is the trade behind the entry.

Lurk:

Plays away from the main group, holds ground the team left, cuts rotations and closes late rounds — with timing agreed with the team.

AWPer:

Carries the team's most expensive weapon to close or open long sightlines; a team purchase, not a personal one.

IGL:

Calls the round, reads it mid-round and manages the team's money.

Anchor:

CT who holds a site alone or in a pair and is judged on surviving long enough for help, using delay utility.

Rotator:

CT who floats between areas and decides when the noise is real before moving.
