How to stop a rush as CT in CS2
How to defend against the enemy team rushing a site in CS2: utility on the entrance, falling back, crossfires, info and rotations.
A five-man rush on one site is scary, but defenders have tools to stop it.
💥 Utility on the entrance
A molotov or incendiary on a narrow choke slows a rush best.
An HE into the crowd damages several enemies at once.
A flash into the rush gives you the first shots.
🔧 Do not hold alone
Do not try to hold the site alone against five.
Fall back to a spot where enemies have to come out one by one.
Call it and wait for teammates to rotate.
🎯 Crossfire
With two players, stand so enemies cannot see both of you at once. Whoever is not seen gets the first shot.
📢 Information
Call it as early as possible: "Rush B, all five".
Teammates on the other site can rotate or flank from behind.
⚠️ Tip
If the enemy keeps rushing the same site, put an extra player there or keep utility ready for the entrance.
