Inferno banana 1v3
The situation
Inferno. You're the last CT alive, B site retake situation. Bomb just planted at B default. 28 seconds. Three Ts known — two were on banana, one in apps. You have an M4A1-S, full armor + helmet, defuser, 1 flash, 1 molly. You're holding from CT spawn.
Pick the best play
- A
Pop-flash banana corner and entry through coffins
- B
Push fountain → retake from apps side
- C
Hold a long angle from spools, hope for a defuse opportunity
Molly default + push CT corner first
Why D is the best play
A 1v3 defuse retake is unlikely without wiping the post-plant. Burn default with the molly to flush whoever planted, then aggress CT corner first — if you trade evenly, the 1v2 defuse becomes possible. Pushing banana into 2-3 stacked players is suicide.
