Default play on Overpass gives Ts control of the round. It lets the team take space safely, look for CT pushes, and decide when to commit. This lesson explains how to make it work step by step.
Playing Default on Overpass as T

Spread early and hold key areas. Keep control of playground, connector, and short so CTs can’t push for free information. Losing map control too soon limits your options later.
Use utility to take ground. Smokes, flashes, and molotovs help clear angles and make it safer to move up slowly. Don’t rush- wait for your team to get into position before committing anywhere.
Once you’ve built control, focus on reading rotations. Look for CT utility, sound cues, or aggressive plays to find gaps. When the timing feels right, group and hit together.
Conclusion
Playing default on Overpass is about space, patience, and timing. Done right, it keeps CTs off balance and gives your team freedom to choose how the round ends.
