Defending on Ancient as CT
Start with clear roles. Each player should know their spot and how to support teammates when pressure comes in. Leaving gaps gives Ts the chance to break through easily.
Utility is a big part of slowing down pushes. Smokes, flashes, and molotovs can delay site hits and buy time for rotations. Well-timed nades force Ts into tougher fights and keep them from executing cleanly.
Communication ties the defense together. Calling numbers, utility, or early contact helps everyone react faster. Playing as a unit makes it much harder for Ts to break control of the map.
