Lurking on Ancient as T
Ancient rewards patience from the lurker. Instead of forcing early fights, watch how CTs react to pressure from your teammates. Catching a defender rotating or repositioning can quickly change the round.
A lurk also affects how defenders move across the map. When CTs know someone could appear behind them, they must rotate more carefully and spend extra time clearing angles. The video lesson shows examples where this pressure changes how defenders play the round.
Communication helps the team understand what is happening on the map. Call when you hear movement, spot a rotation, or force a defender to react. Sharing this information gives teammates a clearer picture of the round.
