Train Offense

Pistol Round (3,1,1)

Virtus initially sends three players ivy (LeX,Edward and ROMJkE), Sally goes middle, and Zeus pushes quickly down ladder. Sally does his job in middle by smoking off the train right by the middle entry to the outside bombsite. He also double flashes down the side of the train to blind the defense watching ivy for his three teammates. Hoping to get a blind frag, LeX also flashes left side of ivy to secure safety from beng picked off from the corner. Zeus comes down ladder quickly hoping to flank members of the offense from the side to surprise the enemies.





Anti-eco

Zeus and LeX push into middle and both nade connector to frag the defensive members trying to push up on them or to ninja up the ladder. In the meantime Edward, Sally, and ROMJkE push inside to watch for a push up by the opposing team. Sally watches top hall from behind the railing waiting for a push from upper ladder.

Edward jumps down ladder to watch for flankers trying to come up behind ladder to cause chaos on a buy round. ROMJkE is watching down the stairs into back halls very passively to cover anyone trying to sneak up there. The team waits for the pushers, and eventually Sally and ROMJkE go down ladder with Edward who’s been waiting. At the same time LeX and Zeus work mid and flash the site to be ready for a bomb plant.





Gun Round




The round begins with Edward and LeX pushing outside while smoking and flashing. Meanwhile, ROMJkE and Zeus push down the ladder ready to catch defensive campers in bombsite. ROMJkE covers Edward and LeX on top of pop dog train checking sniper deck, and bombsite train. Sally is sent on the stairs inside to watch for flankers trying to frag the offense from behind. Zeus uses his flashes and nades to frag any campers underneath bombsite train. He also flashes connector in case of a peeker. Sally continues to watch the teams back from stairs to secure a round win.


Inside Fake (1-1-3)

Virtus sends Zeus to watch the ivy corner but not to peek it—just waiting for a pusher to frag. LeX sits in middle to listen for any defensive members pushing up onto sniper deck or pop dog train. The other three members walk inside for a fake. Edward spams walls to try and frag opposing members that happen to be on top of the trains of the outside bombsite. While Edward is spamming, ROMJkE watches top back halls for a defensive player playing aggressively. Sally is waiting on stairs to see if ROMJkE sees anything out of the ordinary.

Eventually Edward, ROMJkE and Sally fake a push inside by throwing smokes lower and a couple flashes into the bomsite. Waiting for the go, Zeus and LeX begin smoking and flashing the outside bombsite. The rest of the team runs back down ladder, and the team works the outside bombsite.




Default Gun Round (2-2-1)

Most of the offensive rounds consist of four members of virtus attacking the outside bombsite. Two members push out middle flashing and smoking , and down trains to get a couple of quick frags. One member eventually pushes down ladder to get flank frags from the side of the action, hoping to catch enemies off their guard. Two members will watch inside for a push then eventually one of them follows down ladder with the bomb once the site is clear. The last Virtus member is patiently waiting inside to frag flankers trying to push up behind the charge. Almost all of the team’s strats are based off this method; they could go inside or outside depending on who and where a defensive member gets taken down at.




Inside Slow

Virtus.pro starts off the round having ROMJkE picking middle to try to get a frag on a pushing defender coming out of connector. Zeus makes his way down towards ivy to throw a couple of nades, trying to hold the defense there. He also spams brown boxes for pushers. Edward dives down ladder fast looking to get a pick on the defensives ninja trying to push ladder or sniper deck. LeX backs up ROMJkE just in case he may miss his first shot and the opposing team pushes them in middle. While this is going on, Sally is already starting the rush towards inside.

He smokes the upper back hall to ensure he doesn't get picked by a pusher. The team falls back and starts to walk their way into the inside bombsite. They use key and precise smokes and flashes to do everything not to get picked from the bottom entry. They team goes 3 lower and 2 upper. ROMJkE goes upper with his AWP to scope out the top defense spawn ramp. This round is built off their default; let’s say they get a couple of picks outside—they would shift to work the outer bombsite.





Gun round Outside (1-2-2)

Virtus starts out the round the same as most rounds by having one ivy, one middle and three inside. The 1-2-2 forms by one member falling back to middle to aid LeX's push when they are ready to strike. ROMJkE double boosts right above stairs to see the upper hallway of inside with an AWP. Zeus works his usual ivy while Edward pushes ladder to try and get a pick with his AWP. The team works outside from all of the offensive entries trying to catch defenders watching a different entry point.




In conclusion, many of Virtus.Pro's offensive setups are based off working a default. Depending on what the players hear and can frag, they then decide which way they will work.
