Common CT Strats

2-1-2 Strat: This is a simple and standard setup. Assign two players to A (one to Forklift, one to Quad is effective), two players to B (one to Heaven, one to Checkers or Site), and one player to Mid. The Mid player is often an AWPer, but riflers can use Mid Box and Sandbags for closer range (cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects)).

1-2-2 Strat: Since Terrorists (Ts) could hypothetically get into Vents from Mid without the CT there knowing, sometimes a rifler from A will play in the Mid/Speedway area to help support. Decent positions include Garage, Spool, and below Booster.

3-2 Strat: If the Mid player cannot secure a pick (kill), they can back up and rotate to one of the bombsites. AWPers can rotate back to Truck to support A from range, while riflers can provide more on-site covering fire.

2-3 Strat: Another option is to have the Mid player rotate to B if the team wants to play for an A retake or if the team suspects a B play. The Mid player should then take whatever position is open between the two main guards (Site, Checkers, or Heaven).
