Pistol round on Overpass from Virtus.pro

Is there a better start to the map than a pistol round won without opposition? This is how the battle between Virtus.pro and FURIA started in the framework of cs_summit 7 on Overpass. The players of the CIS team decided to build an attack around the “length” near the base A and guessed right, not finding a single opponent there. While VP was in a convenient position for throwing grenades, the Brazilian team gave aggression under the opposite point, which was ultimately unsuccessful. Most likely, Jame learned the favorite tactics of the Brazilians for pistol rounds, but, of course, he could not know for sure. The formula for success from Virtus.pro: grouped attack in one direction + some luck = great start of the map.

Base B attack on Train by Natus Vincere

Fake rounds are the hallmark of Natus Vincere. In the match against Virtus.pro, Kirill Boombl4 Mikhailov’s roster competently swung the enemy around the map, sending electronic to the greens and throwing several smoke grenades at base A. In search of information, VP sniper pressed point B, which made him lose his position to the NAVI players, who took advantage of this and took the round.

The art of clutches by sh1ro

Of course, the art of playing clutch situations can hardly be attributed to the elements of tactical training. But, on the other hand, every CS: GO player should be able to outwit the opponent at the right time and bring the team victory in the round with his own hand. During the group stage of IEM Katowice 2023, future MVP of the championship Dmitry sh1ro Sokolov won 12 clutches. Watch, enjoy and remember how you can act in such micro-moments.
