Ancient mid 1v2
The situation
Ancient. T-side, 1v2. Round started 30s ago, bomb in inventory. You have an AK + flash + smoke + molly. Full HP/armor. CTs known: one taking mid control aggressively, one B holding cave/donut.
Pick the best play
- A
Smoke donut, molly cave, take B as a 1v1
Pre-fire mid pillar, expect aggression
- C
Push A ramp, plant fast, deal with rotators
- D
Throw flash over mid, jump-peek for info
Why B is the best play
If a CT is taking mid aggressively, your mid pillar pre-fire is a free duel — you have the initiative. Once it's 1v1 vs the B player, you have full utility to take or fake. Smoking + mollying B (a) wastes utility on the wrong fight.
