Strategic notes

Nuke is the most CT-favored map in the active pool. Vertical control + tight chokes + single-AWP outside = T-side lifts only on perfect coordination. Often picked if your CT-side is mechanically dominant.

The key fight

Outside / heaven — these two angles dictate Nuke utility, plant possibility, retake feasibility.
