Greetings! I the war owl greets you
Today we are going to be talking about the afterplant
in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
from the perspective of a clutching terrorist player.
So one versus one and one versus x (multiple opponents)
I see people screw this up all the time.
So i think this is going to be a good
topic to go over the basics of.
After plant, in Counter-strike,
is the time after you plant.
 
 
I like to call it post plant, but people already called
it after plant. So what're you gonna do.
Your teammates dead...
Watching every move you make...
Silently judging you ... well hopefully silently
the bomb timer ticking down
the enemy prepares their final retake
the tension builds as you hear their
footsteps draw closer their frantic
efforts to hunt you down you hear it
the beep beep of a diffusal beginning is
it a fake a trick meant to coax you out
of your hiding spot or a desperate
attempt to steal your victory this is
the moment that defines a player however
it is that intensity that causes people
to figuratively lose their heads do
something stupid and then literally lose
their heads let's go over some basic
rules that you should follow to better
increase your chances of winning these
situations first no the bomb plants
position you can figure this out by
looking at the radar don't always assume
your teammates plant it in the standard
position or even a good position you
will have to switch up your positioning
depending upon where the bomb is I'm a
terrorist and I want to be playing after
plants on bomb site a inferno let's use
this site as an example because it's
very basic this is the standard plant
position you're gonna be planting here
most of the time why obviously so you
can watch it from porch you can watch it
from I don't know hiding in graveyard
you can watch it from pits and take
cover you can watch it from the
apartments here and catch them off guard
defusing pretty much anywhere and that's
why it's the best plant position you're
also not visible from rotators while
you're planting here as well it's the
best spot to plant so if it's planted
here switch up your position play from
one of the safe places where you can pay
attention and watch the bomb you're good
to go however you have to keep in mind
if you have a
I'm teammate you have a new teammate and
he runs in here like oh man
I don't know how to play counter-strike
broke any plants here in this safe plant
position that's very common for noobs to
do it you can't you can't play that from
apartments guys look you have to peek
all the way out like all the way like
here and now I see them gives the CTS an
advantage because they can run over here
and just like stick the defuse 5 seconds
and you'll be like scrambling to get out
there assuming that they're there so
keep in mind where that bomb is planted
if it's planted here I think like I
would play it from inside the site you
can watch the two entrances you can
watch here and you got this nice
headshot position here to libraries so
you're going to have to play inside the
site I'm sorry guys if a noob teammate
screws it up for you next know where the
enemy is rotating from this is
information you can also get from your
radar if your teammates saw somebody
it'll show up on the radar for you it's
best if you get this information from
your teammates calls if your solo cueing
though consider your teammates
unreliable narrators knowing where
enemies could potentially be thanks to
the calls of my teammates and the
information gleaned from the radar is
super helpful in deciding where I'm
going to stand and what I'm going to
look at so for example if I got in here
and I planted the bomb at the Statue and
my teammates were fighting at the
entrance and they died and we know that
there are two players left and they're
both there then I don't have to worry
about a flanker coming from long B
unless they boost up the drop which by
the way smart thing to do do that if you
can catch people off-guard big time so I
can actually play that bomb from here
don't even have to look this way and
just look at this angle right here so
they have to push me they may push me
close they may try to do a fake defuse
in which case they're out in the open
and I can take them down really nice it
gives me a much higher chance of
survival
conversely let's say there's three
enemies left my teammates are all dead
and they only saw two coming from this
position now I have to assume that one
player could potentially be pushing from
B so I have to watch it maybe I would
play a different position like back here
so I can watch these entrances and watch
this entrance as well or back here like
just in case like Justin take in case
somebody is going to be pushing from
here
very important to have an idea of where
everybody is you get more of an idea of
it the more you play and the more
experience you get and you'll get an
idea of the timings to like you'll know
when the player can push here based upon
how long it takes to rotate around the
back so I decide while we're here it's a
good idea to call to your teammates
where you planted the bomb to give them
an idea of where they can play post
plant so for example if I planted here I
would say planted for balcony so that
they know okay I can watch that from the
balcony or if you plan it for long
planted for long you know just just let
them know so they have an idea of where
they should play so they don't have to
think about it you know help your
teammates out guys
planting the bomb gives you a distinct
advantage where once you were the
attacker you are now the defender so
your mindset has to change immediately
time is now in your favor and running
down the timer is advantageous to you
you do not have to peek unless the enemy
is defusing the bomb the more they
hesitate and delay the better for you so
play the bomb first let's talk about a
1vs1
you've positioned yourself at a good
spot you know where the enemy can be now
you gotta wait they have to either
attack you or trick you if they decide
to fake defuse they will tap the bomb to
make it sound like they're defusing it
in order to try and coax you out of your
spot the thing is you got a peek
you can't let them possibly just stick
it but you don't have to peek right away
let them sit on the bomb for a few
seconds before quickly peeking the
corner so that you're not predictable
and you eat more of the bomb timer away
if you just peek immediately they can
hop off it hop back on it and it gives
them way more chances to dome you if it
looks like they're on the bomb while you
peek you can repeat them again and kill
them if they get off the bomb
congratulations they now have to either
rush you or try and fake you out again
the only thing you've given away is your
positioning you can see how you're at a
major advantage here even if they know
where you are many different ways the
enemy can trick you in a 1vs1 so let's
say I plant the bomb right here in this
position and I've moved back here to
play the defuse one thing that they
could do like if they don't know where
you are and they're like oh boy we're in
some trouble
from all these spots drop the smoke and
then diffuse from a weird little ducky
angle through that smoke and when that
happens you're going to have to spam it
but something else they could also do
then is from that smoke fake diffuse
walk out of it
here you spamming and then take you down
because you've given yourself away
because of your spamming so let's say
I'm under fire and I can't plan out in
the open and I plant it here and I've
somehow made my way up top and we're in
like a 1v1 right
molotovs are super useful for after
plants because it gives you a huge time
advantage you can delay the defuse for a
long time just by throwing a Molotov the
negative is it gives your position away
but it's always good so I don't have to
like peek out here like this and engage
and he has a chance to hit me in the
head which every time I peek I've given
him a little chance to kill me without
even moving like from every single site
you should go through and figure out the
best places to throw molotovs like for
example I come over here into the corner
I look at this middle thing and I look
right in the middle I do a standing
throw and it lands directly on that bomb
plant position which forces them to get
off it for a period of time very smart
but consider if they're super smart they
can just cancel that out and then defuse
it through that smoke and now we get
into that whole smoke thing we talked
about once you learn the basics of the
1v1
you got to switch it up a little bit
because if like that's the standard
position like most people if they see a
bomb planted here they're going to
assume somebody is upper it's also
possible to run out lower as well but
for the most part they're just going to
throw this malt off and then they can
actually stick that defuse so you got
like a decision to make do I have enough
health to do this oh I have four health
left but I was still able to kill them
or are you playing a different position
like as soon as you hear like that
they're throwing a Molotov run over down
lower and then try to peek him from an
alternate angle it's tough you're going
to have to figure out what to do in the
situation clear your mind guys we got
this I believe in you now let's say
there are multiple opponents the game
changes considerably I'd still say in a
one versus two you have a good shot at
winning it one versus three gets you
know more and more difficult as more
our enemies pile on just playing the
bomb may not always be the best option
one can defuse and the other can watch
for your peak if you do decide to play
the bomb at a1 versus X it's possible
you'll be peaking more than one player
at the same time which is a big no-no
sometimes you're going to be in a
situation especially against multiple
opponents where it doesn't make sense to
just play the bomb for example if the
bombs planted here on a mirage and
you're like up in Palace and you want to
play the bomb if there's multiple
opponents left like even two players
look at all of these angles when I move
out to peek the bomb that I have to look
at if I run out here and just go after
that bomb defuser I've exposed myself
from a bunch of different positions and
there's going to be a player out there
who is hunting me who's listening for me
who's trying to find me and defend that
bomb defuser and also consider the bomb
defuser could be faking it as well so I
could be pushing out into a 1v2 which is
a big no-no you can't do that so a lot
of times in these situations if the bomb
is planted in a spot where it's not
really easy to watch and enemies are
moving in from all over the place you
might have to just play the entrances
and try to defend the bomb site like if
there's a player coming CT like keep an
eye on that if you like opping for
example I get like shoulder peek them to
get them to shoot and kind of distract
them for a second and then move over
here and fight the guy who's at stairs
shoulder peek him back over here it's
sort of like and in watching this
entrance to see if somebody moves by in
order to time it so I can shoot them as
they come by the try box it's like those
chess grandmasters who are playing
multiple opponents at the same time and
keeping multiple games in their head you
kind of have to do that when you're
fighting multiple people in Counter
Strike if I just put all my focus on
stairs guy these guys can sneak up on me
if I like think about him it's like all
right I smoked him now I'm fighting him
now I'm watching I'm thinking somebody's
going to peaking here pretty soon and
fighting all of these guys at the same
time and positioning my cover so that I
don't engage more than one player at the
same time you want to try to fight each
player one at a time but everybody at
the same time and it's difficult spoiler
alert you're not going to win a lot of
these you're going to die a lot I'm just
trying to help give you guys like a good
mindset so you can try in these
situations and give
yourself the best chance of victory or
making a good economic impact before you
go down guys the great thing about
counter-strike compared to other fps
compared to other eSports games is that
in a situation like this bomb planted
one versus three coming in to take me
down I can win if I'm good enough I can
win if your opponents are really good
and up-to-date on the meta a lot of this
stuff will never come into play I
watched through five full pro matches
with eight different top teams to get
footage for this video do you know how
many instances of fake defusing came
into play zero pros don't fake they know
it's better to quickly locate and engage
the opponent instead of playing against
the opponent's strengths being the
planted bomb and their positioning good
rotates game sense and team
communication will inform them of where
you are possibly hiding and also
prevents you from getting into a
ridiculously good position in the first
place this means against better players
you'll end up just playing defensive
angles instead of playing the bomb
however in your matchmaking games
everything I said applies there's
nothing like the tension of
counter-strike in gaming especially when
you're in those clutch situations but
you can't let that tension get to your
head you have to stay calm confident and
in control of your actions a lot of
times when it switches when you plant
that bomb and now you're on the defense
side it's very easy to let the tension
get to your head and cause you to play
more aggressively and go for peaks that
you really shouldn't you got to be smart
guys and counter-strike never put
yourself in a fair fight always look for
that advantage thank you very much for
watching I am the war owl and I still...
have no closer
hey guys I finally got fiber that's it
let's sail the upload speed is
