Inferno strats — T default, CT setup and executesInferno

1. 1Banana — Lead the Banana fight with grenades: molotov the Car side first and win the utility trade before taking any duel.finds out: How hard B is stacked and how much utility the CTs spend on Banana.stop if: Stops once Car/Sandbags-level space is taken; does not run into fresh CT utility or into B entrance alone.
2. 2Banana — Trade the first Banana player and use flashes or an HE on the Sandbags area; keep some utility back instead of emptying it in the opening seconds.finds out: Number of B defenders and whether the CTs re-take Banana after their first utility.stop if: Backs off instead of charging through before the CT setup is read; regroups at Car for a hit.
3. 3Middle — Hold Middle toward Boiler and support Banana with a flash; deny CT pushes through mid.finds out: Whether CTs push Middle or Boiler early.stop if: Never crosses Second Mid without a smoke or flash on the Window angle.
4. 4Second Mid — Move through Second Mid toward Apartments; put a molotov or HE into Boiler through the window to punish CT aggression.finds out: Whether a CT is playing aggressive in Boiler/Apartments, and rotation traffic between the sites.stop if: Does not enter Apartments alone; clears it together with the Apartments player.
5. 5Apartments — Take Apartments slowly, waiting out early CT molotovs and HEs.finds out: Whether A is defended aggressively (Boiler) or passively (holding the Balcony drop).stop if: Does not rush in at round start; waits for the early CT utility to burn out.

1. 1Banana — Open the round by burning Banana with a molotov and a smoke to stall the T push, then give the lane up and fall back once your grenades are spent.
2. 2Coffins — Anchor B from cover at the back of the site, on a different line from your partner so the two of you can trade instead of being cleared together.
3. 3Arch — Float between the sites from the Arch/Library side: watch for mid aggression, help whichever site is hit and rotate early when A is committed to.
4. 4Pit — Anchor A from Pit covering A Short and the Balcony drop; once Ts own Apartments, don't try to fight Balcony and Short at the same time.
5. 5Apartments — Set the A tempo: either take an early Boiler/Window look for Second Mid info, or give Apartments up and hold the Balcony drop with Pit; don't die early, because losing this player hands Ts the site.

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: After the Ts have won Banana up to Car/Sandbags.Entry order: Take Banana first. Then land the CT and Coffins grenades, flash over Sandbags and walk in as one tight group so every entry can be traded; clear each close corner before settling into post-plant spots.Plant: In front of New Box (plant for New Box)Post-plant: Spread three ways: one by New Box/Quad, one tucked deep in Dark or Coffins, and one back up Banana to punish CTs who re-enter from there.$1,600 of grenades at Valve’s prices — whether the round can carry it is the economy board’s call.The July 2025 update opened church windows above Coffins and reshaped the first B box, and October 2025 adjusted the top of Quad; 2023–2024 lineups for Coffins and CT may need re-checking.6 guides · newest 12 Sept 2026

1. 1. Molotov → CarOpening Banana-control molotov to flush a CT from behind the car.
2. 2. Smoke → CT
3. 3. Smoke → Coffins
4. 4. Flash → BananaSource says 'over the Sandbags', i.e. at the site end of Banana; Sandbags is not in the callout list.
5. 5. Molotov → CoffinsCSDB.gg and CS2.eu molotov Coffins (and Dark, a B-site corner not in the callout list) instead of smoking it — see contradictions.

• 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

• 2025-03-31: Banana widened back toward its CS:GO size; view into Pit and the B-site background simplified; a pixel gap at Coffins removed. Guides published before this date (bo3 2023, Profilerr 2024) describe the narrower CS2-launch Banana.
• 2025-07-28: Church windows opened above Coffins; the church-garden path narrowed at the entrance door and widened by Coffins; first box on B reshaped; A-site balcony railing repaired; Banana visuals decluttered. B retake and post-plant angles around Coffins/Construction changed; older Coffins/Construction lineups may no longer land the same way.
• 2025-10-22: Visibility adjustments at the top of Quad (B) and under Balcony (A). Small sightline changes at a common B post-plant spot and under the A balcony.
• 2026-03-04: A-site Balcony extended and Graveyard closed off. Any guide step that uses Graveyard (molotov, hide, post-plant) no longer applies; Balcony drops onto A changed shape.
• 2026-07-08: Clipping fix removing a pixel boost at Top of Mid. Minor; removes one off-angle around Top Mid.

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.
