There are several creative ways to win a pistol round in Counter-Strike 2, but Natus Vincere star Aleksib might have created the most bizarre strategy yet.
A clip from Aleksib’s recent CS2 stream, on Mirage, was shared to Reddit on Aug. 27. While 11-1 up after switching to the T side, Aleksib and his team came up with a hilarious idea to win the match. All they needed was a fake play, one player planting the bomb, and three Molotovs.
At the start of the round, Aleksib and his crew dropped a few Molotovs by the entrance to B palace. Afterward, four of them rotated to the middle, where they were caught off-guard by the opposing team and quickly eliminated. A four-man rotation naturally forced the CTs to focus on the middle, leaving the B site open. That’s when the remaining Terrorists rushed to the bomb site and planted the bomb.
Afterward, the sole remaining T player smoked the palace so the opponents couldn’t shoot them down from the Truck, and started throwing Molotovs where the bomb was planted. Since the grenades were already there, they didn’t have much trouble setting the bomb site on fire. Naturally, the CTs tried rushing them down through the Smoke grenade, but they were unsuccessful, with the Terrorists winning the round in an amusing but satisfying manner.
Some players have already claimed they will be trying this themselves soon enough. “Lol, I’m stealing this with my friends,” the top comment on Reddit reads. While it is a fun idea, the CTs would only need a Smoke grenade on their own to put down the fire. So be cautious when exactly you’re trying this tactic on your own. We bet it’s safe when you have a significant lead, like Aleksib and his squad had in this particular match.
