Inferno B 1v4 defuse
The situation
Inferno. B retake, 1v4 (the dream). Bomb planted at default. 7 seconds left — you're already on the bomb defusing without a kit. You have 4 seconds of defuse done; you need 10. Three of the 4 enemies are nearby, sound info says one is rotating from A.
Pick the best play
Cancel defuse and try to win the gunfight first
- B
Stay on defuse — committed
- C
Cancel, plant a flash on the bomb, try again
- D
Cancel, run to coffins for a corner trade angle
Why A is the best play
Without a defuse kit, you need 10 seconds — you don't have it. Cancel and pivot to a 1v4 fight where at least one trade can put you in a 1v3 with possible re-defuse window. Staying on defuse is a guaranteed loss.
