Before you start making your strategies you will need to assign you team different roles that they need to focus on and practice.Here are the main roles:-- Entry Fragger - The first one in. - Aggressive. Great shot. Great communication.- Playmaker - Get trade kills if the Entry Fragger goes down. - Aggressive. Great shot. Great in the clutch. Great communication.- Strat Caller - Calls the round strategies (and/or ct positioning). - Great knowledge of the game. Great communication.- Support - Aid those in need of a pop flash or smoke. - Great knowledge of nades. Passive. Can stay calm and pick up trade kills. Great communication.- Awper - The primary awp. - Great reaction time. Great aim. Can entry. Great communication.- Lurker - Unpredictable to keep the enemies on their toes. - Great knowledge of rotations. Great positioning. Great use of sound. Great communication.Communication is a must for every team at every position. The better your shot, the better you'll be at your respective role (obviously). These "roles" are not official, and I'm sure there are many more that could be described. I will cover more on this later.Here is a more in depth guide on roles in cs:go It is a good idea to design you strats on paper first before you try them in game. Download a top down view of the map that you want to create a strat for. Import that image into an image editor, even ms paint will work. Now you want to start drawing out what you want to do, remember to draw the smokes and make sure each member in your team know exactly what they are supposed to be doing before you go into game and try them out.Your plan should look something like this. I used photoshop for this example.Mirage A site:1. Goto play with friends(don't invite anyone yet)2. Select active duty map and start the casual game.3. Once you are in game put in this command into you console* (map "de_yourmap")4. a.Here is an an exec that you can download. It has all the settings you will need to execute your strats. Download - adreN's Practice Config b. Follow the instructions in the read me.c. Open console and type "exec prac/yourexec"5. Press escape invite your friends, now you are ready to start.1. Goto options then game settings2. At the top there will be and option to enable developer console, enable it.3. You can access the console by pressing the tilde key on you keyboard.Test out several locations to find the best smokes to fit your strats. You may want to look at some other steam guides or YouTube if you are struggling and need help.Once you have found your smokes try them out at several different locations to perfect them and make them faster, more efficient and reliable.Now you have done this teach them to your friends either using screenshots or by using the spectator camera.Now you have found these smokes you can add them to your strats and keep practising them so you get them right every time.Once you have done this add them to your strats and make sure they fit together with these strats. Make notes of timings so you don't peak corners to early.Execute these strats in a competitive game. If one of these strats goes wrong you could download the demo and check what went wrong and learn from these mistakes.
