Round plan

How B Passive + Mid unfolds across the round: from the setup call through the early, mid and late timings to the post-plant.

  1. Basic
    • Peek/aggress without waiting for smokes
    • Custom push route
  2. Early
    • Early: push for map control
  3. Mid
    • Mid: push up
  4. Late
    • Late: hold the site
  5. Post-plant
    • Retake: defuse only when site is clear
