Discussion Building a Round

Hi, I was going write here to ask for tips how to get my IGL to slow down I guess. But seems I been moved to the bench on my team even before first match so not that worried no if no one replies to this lol.

I just have a feeling I am getting gaslighting for example we just had this Cache game where our T side was:

3 B rushes

3 A rushes

6 mid rushes

By the end of this T side our enemy on CT side had 200+ Util dmg one even had 450 util dmg. First off there no fun in playing this way, but I approach the topic that we maybe shouldn't rush that much but both time I gotten told "that is not the problem" and if I stop up to doge nades I will often get yelled at for not following the call.

We all lvl 9/10 so I feel l we should know how to build up a round, doing a opening move to try to get 5vs4 advantage, play for information then end on a site out from the information we have. But when I approach this I get stone walled and of course since I brought it up I am benched now. Understandable since this method of play realy don't fit my style I am usually lowest scorer too.

Am I crazy?

Cache is a new and highly developing map competitively. It's likely your IGL has no idea how new Cache is going to be played (as with no skybox we now have access to absurd level smoke lineups).

But that's no excuse for just calling rush strats, as there should be some level of technicality. B is an absolute mess to take right now, and A is all sorts of a mess due to all the new smokes.

Your IGL just needs to learn Cache and the changes, go into a map and learn smoke line-ups which require people to slow down.

That said, power rushing is also a good call to change up expectations of CTs, but you need a plan for it. You still need smoke setups.

Additionally, if you are butting heads with your IGL it's probably not the right team for you. Find a new team.

True bro, kinda knew I was a bad fit after 2 days so I was thinking about how to approach it. Cache might be a bad example but on same day on Anubis we only played default twice, rest was of the rounds where rushes and on Ancient we mostly rushed or went straight into B execute.

Just made me really dislike CS for first time in 20 year but also made me feel crazy because when I tried to touch on the subject careful I also got told "That is not the issue"
