Teamwork and Site Executes

A site execute is a coordinated attack on a bomb site involving multiple players using specific utility, timing, and positioning to plant the bomb. Successful executes involve designated roles: entry fraggers engage defenders, support players control flanks, and planters position for safe plants. Each player has predetermined movements and utility usage.

Pre-execute planning occurs during buy phase. The IGL (in-game leader) calls the execute, explaining: which site will be attacked, what utility will be used, who will enter first, timing for utility deployment, and fallback plans if the execute fails. Clear communication prevents execution mistakes and improves team cohesion.

Utility stacking—combining smokes, flashes, and HE grenades—creates overwhelming defensive challenges. For example, a proper execute might stack two smokes (blocking angles), two flashes (blinding defenders), and an HE grenade (flushing defensive positions). Defenders can't handle all threats simultaneously, enabling plant execution.

Successful executes require adjustments based on defensive setups. If defenders are stacked A, executing B might succeed despite weaker utility. Professional teams practice 10+ set executes extensively, ensuring perfect timing and positioning. The most common team loses without practicing coordinated executes because utility usage is uncoordinated.
