Ancient Lineups: Smokes, Flashes & Molotovs
Ancient turns on Mid: whoever controls it can split A through Donut or B through Cave. A hits from Main smoke Temple, CT and Donut, while B executes up Ramp need Cave and the CT side of the site smoked off. Flashes over Mid and molotovs on the site corners do the rest. On CT side, early smokes and molotovs in Mid and on the Main entrances slow the T side down. Every lineup below was thrown by a pro in a real match.
