Defending the Bomb After Terrorist Plant
After bomb plants, Ts transition to defense mode. Positions around bomb ensure CTs can't defuse safely. Ts must defend against incoming retakes while maintaining defensive positions. This phase is highly tactical with clear role definitions.
Anchor positions: hold positions closest to bomb, controlling direct defuse approaches. These positions are high-priority targets for retaking CTs. Anchor players expect to face direct confrontation.
Support positions: cover flanks and rotation routes, preventing CTs from establishing retake position. Supports gather information on CT approaches and call out incoming information.
Trade system: when CTs engage, T-players trade kills to maintain numbers. Pure 1v1s against CTs are losses for Ts; the goal is controlling bomb area through numbers and positioning.
