3D de_dust2 Defense

Pistol Round
Pistol round they had a sort of 3-2 setup. Volcano was boosted up to Catwalk where he peeked out for a rush, while method moved up Long A. Rambo checks for a B rush and then falls back to help out at Long A. Meanwhile shaG spots the Middle and dominator sits on the platform in B spotting the Halls.

shaGuar/Dominator
ShaG and dominator play in the B bombsite. ShaG starts off with some colt play, but is going to try to get an AWP ASAP. He and dominator only really use one stack, at the front of the platform. Other than that look for a couple box boosts and basically just floating around the bombsite.

Once shaG gets an AWP he likes to play in the back right of the platform or at the front left of it. When shaG is AWPing, watch for dominator to play close at Middle with a colt mostly.

Note: Watch for these two to push into B Halls with D.Eagles when they are saving.

Volcano
Volcano plays Catwalk pretty much solo. He likes to play pushed up and peek a lot. The indicator that he is about to peek is a high flashbang. After he peeks he likes to hop up and down and spot Lower B.

Other than that he may push up Long A a few times, flanking the Catwalk aggressively. Also watch for a flash/bait setup with rambo.

Method
Method doesn't switch his play style up much in his Long A position. He sometimes pushes up to peek the corner, but he mostly plays from the top of the A Ramp peeking in and out. The only time I saw him not playing like this was when he played Catwalk with volcano after boosting rambo above Catwalk.

Rambo
Mostly rambo will play defensive Catwalk backup. Other than that, he helps out at Middle or Long A. Sometimes he will push through the Middle double doors aggressively.

Note: Watch for 3D's favorite, the Long A eco round.

"richochet noises are like pichewwww and footstep noises are like plockidyplop" - ;

Looking at this article makes my bum hurt.

Thanks, this will help a lot.

Is it just me or are these quite basic tactics? I mean, I use most of them already in my team.

Nice.

It may be basic, but then again, variance within CS strategies can only go so far. Eventually it comes down to your playmakers to be able to pull off the more difficult ones. relying on players being able to solo push, or solo lockdown a certain area. Bootman, could you possibly playbook any source teams are are you strictly sticking to 1.6 (please no flames I just want to throw the thought out there). Obviously, not many Source teams that would draw names. Probaly only Powers Gaming right now, but hey if you playbook them maybe it'll force them to evolve and get other teams on the ball to beating them and attempt to make Source more competitive.

good stuff here, thanks bootman :)

Too good for cal-o, too much of a life for cal-m, cal-im for life.

Wow, great article, but... What's with the CZ models? :P

blatant.

sweet penance for the sound

don't like the custom models ;)
but a very nice read

CZ models.

Great playbook bootman :)

Now using this, I can form a plan to make my uber newb CAL O clan to pwn team3d!!! MUHAHAHAHAHA!

lol.

^storm

Gotfrag released a playbook on us at the time of CPL Spain corey :p Its normal for them to do a playbook of ateam attending a big tournament.

lakes all happy lol

I smell bootman and coL conspiracy too hanes.

my god, make some thumbnails instead of resizing the large images :o

the cz models could use a fix. overall really gj bootman

#pokerstars www.teamfoe.net http://www.hoopadoo.com/benefits.html

Not cool.

lame

I understand this has become like tradition to release playbooks of the best teams attending...but why do you do it?

Not very good at all. The OLDER ones were better done. Id give 4/10 5/10

Besides Bootman, if you really wanna get back at 3D, you gota make a good one =] Col's was better and it was free.

good stuff chris!!! Hanes what the hell! We always release playbooks a day or two before events

word.

CZ MODELS, CHEATER

very nice :D

http://tllg.net - My URL Shortener!

Ohhh a long one. Good stuff!

ur right control. i wrote this not because it was assigned. but because of my pure, raw hatred for the team 3D. DIE 3D DIE!

all joking aside, thanks for the criticism. if you wanna drop me a pm of what i did bad and how i can fix it ill try to make the next one better.

Yo bootyman -- The other ones seem not to be so much of a diagnosis of what they did do but what they're going to do. I think from the first sentence on the first page I was no longer interested, "Pistol round they had a sort of 3-2 setup." nobody cares what they had, people want to know what they have and are going to use. Not 1 possiblity, but all of them. Your breakdown of a single demo per map doesn't really mean a lot to anyone, teams use different game plans (at least my teams always did) depending on the opponent and how well they covered certain areas. What they did vs coL last time and what they might do vs Rival this time can be completely different things - these articles used to be sort of an insider look to what might be coming, rather than what they did last time that you might never see again. Just my 2 cents ^_^

i've been doing these the same way since my first playbook and i've dont a lot of them =/

great playbook,nice to see them back. only thing i would say is pleassssseeee get rid of those cz models lol :D keep up the great work!

Life is easy when your mind is closed

YEAH CHRIS WHATS UP WITH THOSE CZ MODELS LOL

It was good, but a little long. In my opinion you should break down the strats and setups for like one map, instead of skimming through a bunch of different maps. However, good read, nicejob. :D

Nice Write up I enjoy reading these type of write ups.
I think bootman should watch how they play in the tourny and release a post-tourny playbook to see how much they changed things up ... if they did at all.

nice read GF prime way worth it now ;)

crud article you're really bad bootman

Gamertag: t0va

by the way those pictures do not even remotely resemble what you look like

Don't worry, bootman is doing this to help 3D. History shows that whenever bootman attempts to help a team, they do considerably worse in tournaments. Bootman is helping out all of the other teams, so 3D is sure to emerge triumphant.

lol 3D gotta be hating Bootman by now xD great article

repeLlence - Miami LAN team

this would be so much better if you made clips of their strats being run flawlessly
