Inferno mid 1v3
The situation
Inferno. T-side, 1v3 with full HP/armor, AK with 23 bullets, 1 smoke + 1 flash. Bomb on you. Mid lobby. CTs: 2 banana, 1 short. 1:30 left.
Pick the best play
- A
Push banana through coffins for an unexpected angle
Smoke short, take pit / library route to A
- C
Plant in apps and wait for utility-less retake
- D
Throw flash, peek mid corner — one shot, retreat
Why B is the best play
Smoke short isolates you from one of the 3 CTs. The pit/library route into A is your highest-percentage play because it splits angle exposure. Pushing banana 2-stack is suicidal; mid-peek (d) gives them free trades.
