How to Go for Early Picks on Banana as CT
Start with the right utility. Throw a molly or deep HE grenade to force Ts back or deal early damage. Pair it with a flash for yourself or a teammate to peek safely. Early aggression works best when you have strong spawns and your team is ready to back you up.
Don’t repeat the same play every round. Mix up your approach- sometimes contest with two players, sometimes hold passive after throwing utility. The goal is to keep Ts guessing and limit their options.
After you take the shot, don’t overstay. If you get the pick or even good info, fall back and play numbers with your team. Playing for the early frag is about giving your team the advantage, not throwing away a lead by getting caught.
