Opening options

• Take supported A Main or Squeaky space and force the defenders to reveal utility or a forward setup (Aggressive)
• Hold the CT push, keep the route safe for a later regroup and avoid showing the full A plan too early (Defensive)
• Add a delayed flash, trade or Squeaky timing after Mid contact changes where the A defenders are looking (Situational)

Mid-round decisions

• If teammates own Mid, decide whether A pressure should hold the anchor in place or become the second half of a Highway split. The timing matters more than simply having the route.
• When A goes quiet, keep track of the defender's information window. A late re-clear can punish a rotator, but walking into a stacked angle gives the CT side the answer it wanted.
• During the execute, enter with a clear lane and trade order. A Main, Squeaky and Highway need synchronized pressure or the defenders can take three separate fights.

What breaks the structure

• Giving away the lurk with unnecessary utility or repeated shoulder contact
• Arriving before the Mid or Squeaky pressure can stop the site players from turning together

What to study in the POV

• How long the player protects the default before joining the final call
• The cue that changes passive A presence into an entry or split
• Post-plant positioning relative to the bomb, remaining utility and the retake routes
