Ancient 1v4 — bomb planted
The situation
Ancient B retake. You're CT, last alive, 1v4 (the dream). Bomb just planted at B default. 32 seconds. You have an M4A4 with 25 bullets, full armor + helmet, defuser, 1 smoke + 1 flash. You're at heaven over A site, CT spawn area.
Pick the best play
Flash mid + push A → temple route to flank
- B
Hold heaven with the AWPing angle, hope they walk through
- C
Smoke off mid corridor and prefire B-cave
- D
Bait peek heaven, then reset to A site for late take
Why A is the best play
A 1v4 defuse retake against 4 stacking T-side is mathematically near-impossible head-on. Take the angle the Ts least expect — the long temple flank — and break their formation. You probably still lose, but it has the highest win % among bad options.
