Pistol round strats...??

Seeing what your favorite pistol round strat is on any map?

I personally like: Season.. two rush mid-A, everybody else walks B, first contact... HIT IT!!!

Lost Temple.. kind of same thing.. walk B tuns.. avoid nade stack.. first contact - hit it.

Dust 2.. Split on B.. hardly anyone ever watches mid first round.. and you avoid the nade stack in B w/ the
delay

Rule of thumb for pistol and eco rounds is, THEY HAVE BETTER GUNS!So draw nades out, split, fake, whatever is required, straight rushes don't work much unless it's a non nade stacking site.

I like getting tricky on my calls for pistol round. Also, figuring out the trendy call for a pistol round on a map, showing that, then going with something that throws their timing off.

ditto, the first round is the round ct's are most likely to over-rotate. i like fakes on pistol rounds, or any call that avoids the obvious nade stack chokes... meaning calls like:

top5 and bomb fake. why 6 players? because ct's are going to rotate to first shot fired anyway. no need to sac. 70% of the team to get them to move.

alt mid waterfall. ct's don't nade stack it.

split b, or flash long/short b tuns to b. ct's in b will have chucked thier nades before you hit it.

that kind of stuff. i've seen slow plays work too as long as someone makes a small push/faint somewhere. ct's rarely recognize slowplay on 1st round until it's too late.

I like straight b rushes on the first round. Just so we can get nade stacked and absolutely destroyed.

The old everybodyflashes over long, 2 people go mid to lower b, everyone else wait 10 seconds, flash again rush long strat works pretty good.

Contra I've had good luck with B, plank to sewers to A and mid sands and CT spawn to A.

I don't like putting all my eggs in one basket on pistol round very often.
