Playing Long on Overpass as CT
Focus on control first, not early fights. Holding Long is about denying space and forcing Ts to spend time and utility before they can move forward. Staying alive keeps the area locked down longer.
Use utility to manage pressure. Flashes and molotovs can stop Ts from grouping up or peeking freely. Smokes help block vision and buy time when pressure increases. Use nades when Ts commit, not just because the round started.
Know when to fall back. If Ts push with numbers and utility, holding too long can turn into a mistake. Backing off at the right moment keeps you alive and sets up a stronger A site defense with your teammates.
