Ancient — CS2 deep-dive
Tropical-temple map with tight chokes and lots of close-quarter engagements.
Minimap
Strategic notes
Ancient leans T-favored due to mid-pillar control — once Ts hold mid, both sites become contested. CT-side response is usually heavy mid-stacking on B-defenders. AWPing role matters less here than rifle work.
The key fight
Mid — controlling the mid pillars locks down B and sets up A-side flanking.
