This will be a guide that talks about how to play a passive Counter-Terrorist setup on the B bombsite of Inferno.



B Bombsite Player

The first positions I will talk about on B site are passive setups and consist of the B Site Player and the B Rotator. There are many advantageous corners for the Counter-Terrorists to hide in on B site, this first spot is First Oranges. This spot lets you set up a crossfire with the Counter-Terrorist playing Tree side, when you peek out to kill Terrorists passing Wagon and you have the capability to fall back in the corner for when they enter site. In the picture below showing the use of this spot, has the corner ledge right in front of you showing a left click smoke I like to use. This smoke, when thrown gives the Tree side player an advantageous peek, since it will be easier for him to see the Terrorists then it will be for them to see him. This ledge can also be used to get a Molotov down right where the Terrorists would be pushing through, weakening all those who do push.

When your Tree side teammate is starting to engage with the Terrorists, it is a good time for you to peek out as well. The reasoning behind this is to have multiple people peeking the Terrorists, so that they have more to deal with while increasing your odds of getting kills without losses. This image below shows the First Oranges player peeking out with the smoke that was explained above. You could also flash, but inform the Tree side player beforehand to avoid team flashing. Giving yourself and your teammate an advantage over the Terrorist side is a key factor in holding a bombsite.

If the Terrorists decide to keep pushing, use the smoke that you have thrown or another flash to fall back to new box. This position gives you more cover than First Oranges and will be a better crossfire for you and your teammate. New Box helps you play off your teammate, since whether they are still Tree side or have moved to Spools either way lets you have multiple angles on the Terrorists. From New Box you can flash off the wall behind you and into the crack above you to flash the site. This flash is done by using both the right and left clicks simultaneously and it is being thrown at the slash in the wall that is going through the red box and directly above it is a dot on the wall.

B Bombsite Rotator

For the B rotator you will be holding Tree side for this set up. This is so you can spot if any Terrorists have pushed up past Car to Wagon. Give the call out to your site holder if people have pushed up so he can smoke it. Since he can smoke safely, you will not have to peek and can fall back through Construction to Spools. Before falling back to Spools check to see if you can spot through the smoke to get an advantageous peek. If you have an AWP in this position you are able to either jump up and peek over Spools, or peek to the right. If you have a rifle play safe at Spools and wait for Terrorists to come onto site where you and your teammate can then engage.

You should be peeking if your teammate has not fallen back to New Box, as he will get pushed before you see them. Give call outs to your teammate even if they are not calling back and try to move with the sound of footsteps or gun fire to know when you can peek. If the terrorists do not end up pushing up Banana, the reason for you playing Tree side comes into play. If your A site players call bomb on A or for a rotation, you can rotate through CT spawn to either Arches or Library. The rotator position is key to helping your team succeed. The major weakness for Counter-Terrorists on this map is long rotation times, so we can combat this by playing a quick rotate position.

2nd Site Player

There are times when you have 3 players on B. The Terrorists could be rushing B every round, or they have gone A so many times in a row you get the feeling to have three players on B. The third guy can play kind of a wild card role. The main thing is to catch the Terrorists off guard, since they are only expecting two on site. This could lead to have the third player waiting passively in dark, or on top of boost spot. To get on boost of First Oranges you just both jump on the first set of barrels and then on top of your teammate then all the way on top. This can catch many people off guard, but do not use it every round. I will put a couple images of what holding these spots would look like, and what peeking from them looks like. You can also use these positions on a low buy round to gain an extra advantage.

Conclusion

All the positions I have talked about above are not set in stone. Move around and adjust your play style. One big factor in playing a Bombsite is being unpredictable in where you are playing. If you are starting to get pre-fired then change up your positon to behind fountain or dark. The success to this bombsite is always engaging with your teammates, so be aware of them and try to set up so you and your teammate are holding cross angles.

This was a look into a passive setup on the B site of de_Inferno. A key point to take away that this guide did not cover is that communication is everything. Tell your teammates what you are going to be doing and what you are capable of doing. This includes smokes and flashes that you know for this bombsite. In my next article I will be covering a setup for A site on de_Inferno. I hope this helps improve your Matchmaking and pug experience on de_Inferno.
