zonic's zoom: Gaming Advanced

One of you guys (bruft) requested something last week when I made the article about retaking b2 on train. He asked about what a secure T standard setup could be, so I took a look at how I think you should be playing in the beginning of the round as T on de_dust2.

Player 1 - Covers the A-gate in the beginning of the round, but look through the crack so if the opponents go offensive on long, they won’t see you.

Player 2 - Is kind of getting ready to help Player 1 if they push the A-gate, otherwise he is covering the middle and is ready if the AWP player, who I will tell you about later, is saying they are offensive middle. Same goes for Player 1, he's is helping Player 2 if they get offensive middle.

Player 3 - Is covering towards the small bombsite, he is right outside dark covering the b2 entrance, if a possible CT attack should take place.

Player 4 - Is doing kind of the same, but he is covering the right side, if the AWP Player spots the middle and he sees a CT going into lower-dark, Player 4 is ready to take him down.

Player5 - Is spotting middle with AWP.

That was a T setup, but what if you want to take it to the next level, for example, taking over the middle without getting picked off by an AWP in the CT middle.

This is how you do - Player 4 enters dark with Player 3, Player 4 goes to lower-dark where he calls on a flash from Player 2. After that flash, he is cleared if they are offensive stairs and are looking down to lower-dark.

After the flash Player 3 who is in lower-Dark, throws a smoke on the box in the middle, it will block the AWP’s view and the guys are free to enter the middle.

The AWP Player (Player 5) goes to the green boxes up in the middle and covers stairs, so the rest of the guys can start their A or B attack.

Player 1 keeps holding long, until you start making the real attack.

You will also be able to find this standard T setup in most of our de_dust2 demos. Drop by here or here to find the demos.
