Fnatic has the most basic inferno offense of all the top teams in the world. Once you step beyond the pistol round Fnatic seems to be in pug mode with f0rest leading the way via pickoffs from the window room.
Pistol Round
cArn holds middle while the remainder of the team slowly traverses the halls. cArn will rotate to banana, fake a slow B attack and the team will rush out of the halls.
Save Round
Fnatic is a deagle armor team; on virtually every map the Swedes will try to deagle armor save at least once. On inferno the team likes to slow play a bombsite B attack with deagle armor and full nades.
Default
For the most part Fnatic has no default and elects to try and pickoff their opposition.
cArn can typicaly be found holding the flank from on top of the ladder.
dsn starts off holding the offensive side of middle with cArn trying to pick off any peeking defenders. From there dsn is prone to attacking middle directly.
f0rest will usually be boosted into the window room to try and pickoff a defender. If he is unable to scout out the area f0rest will drop back and synchronize a flashbang to get dsn up middle.
Archi and Tentpole typically attack through the halls with bomb.
Inferno Defense
Pistol Round
Fnatic begins the round by pushing the entire team up middle. Two of the players will prime grenades initially to stop any offensive middle rush. From there the team will walk down middle until they can spot the halls. The team stacks there until spotted or until they believe the bomb is being planted at bombsite B.
Save Round
Tentpole and cArn try crafty baiting techniques on save rounds. Fnatic will usually play passively on save rounds rather then rush an area together or stack a bombsite.
Netted Bombsite Setup #1
Archi and f0rest play the left side of middle while dsn holds the right with his AWP. At different periods during the match dsn will rotate around the map with his AWP
Netted Bombsite Setup #2 (Default)
This is Fnatic’s most frequent setup. dsn will boost f0rest onto the box and hide in the pit. Archi is left to watch both halls and the right side of middle.
Netted Bombsite Setup #3
This strategy begins with the team tossing three smoke grenades into middle followed by a pair of explosive grenades. From there dsn will cross the chokepoint and setup in the halls with his AWP. Archi and f0rest use the smoke grenades to setup an aggressive stack in the middle.
Bombsite B
Tentpole and cArn play bombsite B in this setup almost 100% of the time. cArn is almost always outside of the bombsite with a flashbang primed while Tentpole holds the chokepoint from an angle.
