Retaking A Site on Ancient as CT
Start by waiting for all players to be ready. Retakes fail quickly when CTs go in one by one. Moving together gives better trades and keeps pressure on the Ts holding the site.
Use utility to take space before fighting. Flashes help you enter without taking blind duels, smokes block vision around the bomb, and molotovs force Ts out of strong post-plant spots. This makes the retake more controlled instead of rushed.
Once you’re on site, focus on clearing angles and setting up the defuse. Communicate who is watching which angle and call the bomb timer clearly. Staying calm helps prevent missed trades and unnecessary deaths.
