Where to Focus When Setting Up CT Defense on Dust 2
CT defense on Dust 2 is about playing smart positions and working as a team. You rarely hold every part of the map at once- the focus is on controlling A Long, A Short, and mid-B rotations while adjusting based on early info and spawns.
Good CTs balance passive and aggressive setups depending on the round. Sometimes you fight for map control early, other times you give up space and play for retake. The key is to always have a plan and play off your teammates, not on your own.
One of the biggest mistakes is holding the same spots every round or reacting too late to T pushes. Use utility to slow down Ts, communicate early, and adjust your defense based on what the Ts are showing. Staying unpredictable and flexible makes your CT side much harder to break.
