A long control is one of the most important fights for Ts on Dust 2. Winning it gives space for site takes and strong post plants. This lesson explains how to secure A long early in the round.
Fighting for A Long Control on Dust 2
Take A long together as a group. Spreading out or going in one by one almost always leads to early losses. Use flashes to blind defenders at the corner and smokes to block vision, giving your entry players safer ground to work with.
After you take control, don’t rush. Hold the space and clear common spots before deciding your next move. Even if you don’t commit to A right away, having long control forces CTs to stay split and gives your team more options.
Keep utility ready for the next stage. Smokes for cross and flashes for site are crucial if you decide to hit A. With good timing and trades, A long control turns into one of the strongest paths to a bomb plant.
Conclusion
Taking A long on Dust 2 comes down to teamwork and well-timed utility. Secure it early, and you’ll have one of the best routes to winning rounds.
