Inferno apps 1v2
The situation
Inferno. T-side. 1v2. Bomb in inventory, 35 seconds left. You have an AK with 25 bullets, full armor + helmet. 1 flash. Two CTs alive — one in pit, one rotating from CT spawn (~5s away). You're at top of apps.
Pick the best play
- A
Plant default fast, run boiler for the pick
- B
Drop down, fast-plant new box, hold from coffins
Wait apps for the rotator, then take site 1v1
- D
Flash over balcony, jump-peek to clear pit
Why C is the best play
Apps gives you a free pick on the CT rotating from CT spawn — they have to take banana or arch and you're holding pre-aimed. Once it's 1v1 with a known pit player, you can plant deep, pick angles. Pushing 2 stacked CTs first is a coinflip.
