Train A 1v3 retake
The situation
Train. CT-side. 1v3 retake on A. Bomb planted at default plant on A. 28 seconds. You have an M4A4, full HP/armor, defuser. 1 smoke + 1 molly. You're at ladder room.
Pick the best play
- A
Smoke ivy, molly default, push from ladder
Sprint vert wagon for the unexpected vertical angle
- C
Hold ladder room, wait for them to defuse
- D
Push wide A main, pre-aim default
Why B is the best play
CS2 Train introduced new vertical angles on the wagons. The vert wagon angle catches Ts off-guard since most retakes come from ladder or A main. The vertical drop into site is the uniquely-CS2-Train technique. Smoke/molly is good utility but 28s is tight for a 3-clear.
