Meta CT Defense Setups for Competitive Maps

CT meta varies by map. Standard setups include: players at bomb sites, rotating players covering approaches, AWPer holding key angle. All five players have defined positions and expected responsibilities. Meta setups optimize defensive efficiency.

Default defensive setup: split between bomb sites, typically 3-2 or 2-3. Three players hold one site, two hold other. Early rotations occur when attackers commit direction. The flexibility of default defense accommodates various attack angles.

Aggressive defense: positioning away from bomb sites, taking map control early. Aggressive defenses gather information but risk losing players before site defense. These are high-risk, high-reward setups used when predicting attacker direction.

Stacked defenses: multiple players on likely attack site. If Ts commit one direction heavily, overwhelming defensive numbers stop execution. Stacks sacrifice other site but defend primary site effectively. Smart site-reading improves stack decisions.
