Smokes Heaven, the high CT platform above A site, so CTs can no longer shoot down from it at Ts entering through Hut, Squeaky or Main. The core smoke of every A execute.

1. 01
   Where to stand On top of Silo, next to T Roof (outdoors, at roof height). Stand still on the Silo support/ledge and look at the reactor dome — the long white A-site roof with a row of windows will be on your right.
2. 02
   Where to aim The right outer edge of the big reactor dome, directly above the top of the bundle of horizontal silver pipes that runs out to the right of the dome. csnades describes it as “just left of the end of the blue stripe”.
3. 03
   How to throw Stand still and do a normal left-click throw. No jump.
4. 04
   Where it lands On Heaven (the CT platform above A site), blocking the Heaven window.

Note csnades says to shoot out a window first; cs2util does not mention it. If the smoke hits glass, shoot out the roof window it passes through. The flight takes about 4.6 seconds, so throw it a few seconds before the team goes in.

Blocks Main (also called Hell), the big CT entrance at the back of A site. Rotating CTs and the player holding from Main cannot see the T planting the bomb. The second smoke of an A execute — throw it together with the Heaven smoke.

2:04 (opens in a new window)

1. 01
   Where to stand The lower part of T Roof, in the corner right next to the big vertical silver ventilation pipe. The pipe fills the left side of your screen, and a horizontal air duct runs off to the right. Break the A-site roof windows first.
2. 02
   Where to aim In the distance there is a building with an open yellow door at the top of a yellow staircase. Put your crosshair inside the dark doorway, just right of the left yellow frame, slightly above the top of the two red fire extinguishers. csnades describes it as “the red dot and the top of the window”.
3. 03
   How to throw Medium-strength jump-throw by hand: with the grenade out, hold left-click and right-click together, then let go of both almost the moment you press jump. Don’t use a bind.
4. 04
   Where it lands In front of Main’s metal roll-up door, at the back of A site.

Note The two databases agree on the position, but their aim height differs by 1.6° (cs2util -9.9, csnades -11.5); the screenshots are almost identical. Before the tournament, check it with the preview camera on a practice server: hold the grenade and press jump. The windows must already be broken.

Burns CTs off the roof of Hut, the small house on A site. From there they can shoot down at Ts entering through Main, Squeaky and Hut. Throw it at the start of an A execute.

6:03 (opens in a new window)

1. 01
   Where to stand The upper part of T Roof, facing the A-site roof. Break the roof glass in front of you first. Stand so that the long white A-site roof with a row of windows is on your left and the small box-shaped structure with two dark windows on the far roof is straight ahead.
2. 02
   Where to aim The lower-right part of the right-hand dark window of that small structure.
3. 03
   How to throw Run-throw: press W to run one step forward and left-click in the middle of that step. No jump.
4. 04
   Where it lands On the roof of Hut on A site (Top Hut); the fire spills out in front of it.

Note The two databases throw at the same target from slightly different spots. Here we followed the cs2util version, which has an exact crosshair screenshot. The csnades version throws from a nearby spot, aims at the centre of that same right-hand window and releases late while running. The video shows a molotov thrown from T Roof still reaching Top Hut in July 2026, though not necessarily from this exact spot.

A flash for the team going in through Hut. It bounces down the Hut corridor and pops right outside the Hut door on A site, blinding CTs who hold the door from Default, Heaven and nearby angles. Throw it as soon as the team is ready to push Hut.

6:07 (opens in a new window)

1. 01
   Where to stand In Lobby, in the corner where the concrete wall meets the yellow pillar, facing the doorway into the Hut corridor (the one with three steps). The red “A ->” sign is on the wall to your left.
2. 02
   Where to aim Look through the doorway at the white corrugated wall on the far side. Aim at the top-left corner of the small white electrical box on that wall.
3. 03
   How to throw Stand still and do a normal left-click throw.
4. 04
   Where it lands Pops right outside the Hut door on A site.

Note Teammates pushing into Hut should turn their backs to the flash or wait for it to go off. It pairs well with the Top Hut molotov.

Smokes the Ramp room from above, blocking CTs who hold Ramp from below and from beside the big box. That lets the Ts take Ramp and drop down into B, or fake an execute as if going into B on the lower level.

1. 01
   Where to stand Inside Trophy Room, by the right-hand wall under the big “Cedar Creek” logo, facing the blue-framed door into the glass Control Room.
2. 02
   Where to aim Through the doorway you can see the glass wall of the Control Room. Aim at the top-left corner of the two closed glass doors.
3. 03
   How to throw Run-throw: press W to run one step forward and left-click. No jump.
4. 04
   Where it lands In the Ramp room, on Ramp next to the big container.

Note We found no video from 2024 onwards that clearly shows this exact lineup, so confirmation that it is still current rests on cs2util (2025/2026). csnades: “stand under the logo, aim at the corner of the door, run and left-click to throw”. Throw it together with the Ramp flash below.

A flash for the team pushing into Ramp. It flies down the corridor and pops in the Ramp room, blinding CTs at the boost spot and behind the metal plate. Use it with the Ramp smoke to take Ramp or to rush B.

3:03 (opens in a new window)

1. 01
   Where to stand The corner of Trophy Room. Put your back to the corner and your right shoulder against the right-hand wall with the “Cedar Creek” logo and the grey railing. The blue-framed door is in front of you, and the “TROPHY ROOM / CONTROL ROOM / VENDING / FORKLIFT” sign is on the left wall.
2. 02
   Where to aim Through the doorway, in the Control Room area, there is a red wall panel to the right of the glass. Aim at its bottom-left corner — the point where it meets the floor, under the small “No smoking” sign.
3. 03
   How to throw Run-throw: press W to run two steps forward and left-click. No jump.
4. 04
   Where it lands Pops in the Ramp room, at the boost spot / next to the big box.

Note The flash is very forgiving, so it still works if you are a step off. The video shows a flash thrown from the same corner, but we could not confirm that the crosshair is exactly the same. The csnades version: stand roughly under the logo, aim at the sign, then run and left-click to throw.

Smokes the Garage door in Outside, so the CT in Garage cannot see the Yard. One part of the Outside smoke wall needed to cross to Secret and take B.

1. 01
   Where to stand Just outside T Spawn, at the edge of the tall concrete wall on the right. In front of you is a white building with a roll-up door and a yellow vertical ladder on its right. A light-blue container sits to the right of the ladder.
2. 02
   Where to aim The left side rail of the yellow vertical ladder, around the 4th rung from the top.
3. 03
   How to throw Jump-throw by hand with left-click: hold left-click (pin pulled), then let go of it almost the moment you press jump. Don’t use a bind.
4. 04
   Where it lands In the Garage doorway in Outside.

Note Both databases throw from the same spot, but their aim height differs by about 2° (csnades: “line up the shadow and the 2nd rung of the ladder”). Check with the preview camera on a practice server that the smoke lands in the Garage doorway: hold the grenade and keep jump pressed.

The first smoke of the wall that cuts across Outside; both smokes are thrown from the same spot. It blocks the CTs’ view across the yard, so the Ts can cross to Secret and head for B. Throw Close Red first, then Deep Red.

1:51 (opens in a new window)

1. 01
   Where to stand In T Spawn, at the edge of the red container (“truck”) that has a small light-blue box in front of it. Look up over the red container at a tall concrete building.
2. 02
   Where to aim On the tall concrete building above the red container, aim directly below the bottom-left corner of one window and directly left of the small white box on the wall. csnades: “aim at the corner of the window”.
3. 03
   How to throw Jump-throw by hand with left-click. Don’t use a bind.
4. 04
   Where it lands In the yard near the red containers (Close Red) — the near side of the smoke wall.

Note The csnades “Secret Close” lineup has no setpos, so it was matched by its description alone. cs2util notes that the smoke wall thrown from the red box may need an extra smoke to be completely safe to cross. Cross close to the edge of the smoke.

The second smoke of the Outside wall, thrown from the same spot as Close Red. It extends the wall deep towards Garage, so the Ts can cross to Secret (B) without being seen from Garage, Heaven or the far side of the yard.

1:51 (opens in a new window)

1. 01
   Where to stand Same spot as Close Red: the edge of the red container (“truck”) with the light-blue box, in T Spawn.
2. 02
   Where to aim Directly above the top of the red container, a diagonal white cable conduit runs up the concrete building, with small white brackets on it. Aim just right of the 2nd bracket from the left.
3. 03
   How to throw Jump-throw by hand with left-click. Don’t use a bind.
4. 04
   Where it lands In the far part of the yard, towards Garage (Deep Red) — the far side of the smoke wall.

Note One player can throw both smokes. Combine it with the Garage smoke to cover Outside more completely.

A CT delay. The fire burns at the Hut door on A site, so Ts coming out of Hut have to wait or take damage. Use it when you hear a push from the Hut/Lobby side, or when Ts are coming into A.

1. 01
   Where to stand The back room of Heaven — the room with the yellow-and-black striped floor hatch and the “CRANE ACCESS HVN” sign. Stand in the right-hand corner of the opening that looks down onto A site.
2. 02
   Where to aim The lamp hanging above A site, seen through the opening.
3. 03
   How to throw Stand still and do a normal left-click throw.
4. 04
   Where it lands The Hut door on A site / in front of Hut.

Note We found no recent video that clearly shows this exact lineup. Confirmation that it is still current rests on cs2util (2025).

A CT delay against pushes and rushes through Squeaky. The smoke blocks the Squeaky door, so the Ts cannot get onto A site without walking blindly through the smoke. Throw it as soon as you hear noise from Squeaky or Vents.

1. 01
   Where to stand In Heaven, at the edge of the door frame that looks onto A site; the yellow frame/pillar is on your left.
2. 02
   Where to aim A small lamp hanging in the distance: the leftmost lamp in the row on the yellow crane, directly left of the centre of your view.
3. 03
   How to throw Stand still and do a normal left-click throw.
4. 04
   Where it lands At the Squeaky door on A site.

Note Tigerr’s video from 2025-12-15 (9:21, “CT Side - Squeaky Utility from Heaven”) shows a molotov thrown from Heaven to Squeaky, not this smoke — so it is not used as this lineup’s video.

A CT delay. Smokes the door at the top of Ramp, where the Ts come in from the Trophy Room / Control Room side, and buys time against a push down Ramp. Use it at the start of the round, or when you hear Ts in Lobby or Trophy Room.

6:36 (opens in a new window)

1. 01
   Where to stand In the Ramp room, in the corner with a vertical grey pipe on the left. Looking down the Ramp room, you will see a big red box on the right and a red “B” sign on the far wall.
2. 02
   Where to aim The floor directly right of the light-grey raised central walkway, near its far end. You are looking down slightly.

   How to throw Jump-throw by hand with left-click. Don’t use a bind.
4. 04
   Where it lands At the top of Ramp, in the corridor doorway next to the glass Control Room (Trophy side), blocking the Ts’ way into Ramp.

Note The video was matched by where the smoke lands, not by the throwing spot.
