Anubis is tough. I’m personally still struggling to figure out how not to get AWPed from connector, and holding mid as a CT is nigh-on impossible.
At least it is for me, the rudderless ship - so I contacted the best IGL I know.
He didn’t answer, so I asked ChatGPT - or GL-AI-VE, as we’re calling him - to interject.
ChatGPT
1. Split into two groups: Have three players go towards the A site and two players towards the B site.
2. A Site: The three players on the A site should work together to clear out the A site, focusing on the short and jungle areas. One player should throw a smoke towards the stairs to block off any potential defenders playing from there, while another player should throw a flashbang to blind anyone playing close to the stairs or in jungle. Once the site is clear, the players can plant the bomb and take up post-plant positions.
3. B Site: The two players on the B site should work together to clear out the B site, focusing on the market and CT areas. One player should throw a smoke towards the market to block off any potential defenders playing from there, while the other player should throw a flashbang to blind anyone playing close to CT. Once the site is clear, the players can plant the bomb and take up post-plant positions.
4. Rotate and defend: Once the bomb is planted, the players on the A site can rotate towards the B site to help defend it, while the players on the B site can rotate towards the A site to help defend it. Use smokes and flashbangs to delay any defenders and hold off their retake attempts
5. Remember to communicate with your team and work together to execute the strategy effectively. Good luck!
GL-AI-VE is a tactical genius. He is most known for his signature tactic, "going B, but then going A". He also has a second little-known tactic of "going A, but going B". What an absolute legend. Top 3 IGL 4 sure.
I’m a little concerned about how convoluted and complex this strat is and how much utility it would take, but it’s a cool idea, at least.
ChatGPT:
Sure, here's a basic default strategy for Anubis:
1. Two players towards A: Have two players head towards the A site, one playing towards the short area and the other towards the jungle area. They should use utility such as flashbangs and smoke grenades to clear out any potential defenders and gain control of the site.
2. Three players towards B: Have three players head towards the B site, one playing towards the market area, one towards the CT area, and one towards the mid area. They should use utility such as flashbangs and smoke grenades to clear out any potential defenders and gain control of the site.
3. Control mid: It's important to have at least one player watching mid to prevent the CTs from flanking or rotating too quickly. This player can use utility such as smoke grenades to block off the mid area and delay any rotations.
4. Rotate as needed: If the CTs stack one site or leave one site more vulnerable, be prepared to rotate and attack the weaker site. Communication and teamwork are key to making these decisions and executing the strategy effectively.
5. Post-plant positions: Once the bomb is planted, take up post-plant positions and defend the bomb against any retake attempts from the CTs. Use utility such as smoke grenades and flashbangs to delay and hold off the defenders.
6. Remember that this is just a basic default strategy, and it's important to be flexible and adapt to the specific situation in each round. Good luck!
We’ll ignore for a second that GL-AI-VE calls the mid player one of the B players and focus on the good stuff. This is pretty similar to what most teams are running at pro level, though they will obviously mix things up.
We personally prefer to have two going canals to double peek connector as that’s a key fight, but fine, ChatGPT knows best.
ChatGPT:
Sure, here's a basic default setup for the CT side on Anubis:
1. Two players towards A: Have two players play towards the A site, one playing towards the short area and the other towards the jungle area. They should use utility such as smoke grenades and incendiary grenades to delay any potential attackers and slow down their progress.
2. Three players towards B: Have three players play towards the B site, one playing towards the market area, one towards the CT area, and one towards the mid area. They should use utility such as smoke grenades and incendiary grenades to delay any potential attackers and slow down their progress.
3. Control mid: It's important to have at least one player watching mid to prevent the attackers from flanking or rotating too quickly. This player can use utility such as smoke grenades and incendiary grenades to delay any potential attackers and slow down their progress.
4. Rotate as needed: If the attackers stack one site or leave one site more vulnerable, be prepared to rotate and defend the weaker site. Communication and teamwork are key to making these decisions and executing the strategy effectively.
5. Post-plant positions: Once the attackers plant the bomb, take up post-plant positions and retake the site. Use utility such as smoke grenades and flashbangs to delay and hold off the attackers.
Remember that this is just a basic default setup, and it's important to be flexible and adapt to the specific situation in each round. Good luck!
Going to be honest, mate, that sounds suspiciously similar to the T-side default. To be fair to Mr. AI, I haven’t given him a lot to work with. Let’s make it a little easier.
ChatGPT:
If m0NESY, a well-known professional player, was on your team, you could adjust your default setup to make the most of his individual strengths and playstyle. Here are some ways you could utilize his skills:
1. Aggressive mid play: m0NESY is known for his aggressive playstyle, so you could consider having him play towards the mid area and push aggressively to gain control of the area. This can catch attackers off guard and give your team an early advantage.
2. Solo site play: m0NESY is also known for his ability to hold down a site on his own, so you could consider having him play solo on one of the sites while the other four players play towards the other site. This allows him to focus on holding his position and taking out attackers without worrying about coordinating with other players.
3. Creative use of utility: m0NESY is known for his creativity and skill with utility, so you could consider giving him more freedom to use his utility in creative ways to delay and hold off attackers. For example, he could use smoke grenades to block off certain angles or incendiary grenades to force attackers into a specific area.
4. Adaptability: One of m0NESY's strengths is his adaptability, so you could consider giving him more freedom to make decisions and adjust the team's strategy on the fly. This allows him to respond to the specific situation in each round and make the most of his individual strengths.
5. Remember that communication and teamwork are still key, even with a skilled player like m0NESY on your team. Be sure to coordinate your movements and work together to achieve your objectives. Good luck!
That’s a bit more like it. Though, truth be told, if I had m0NESY on my team, I probably wouldn’t be asking AI for help. I’d just let him loose. What’s more pertinent is how you could deal with him.
ChatGPT:
If you're playing against m0NESY, you can expect him to be a formidable opponent. Here are some tips for playing against him:
Be prepared for aggressive plays: m0NESY is known for his aggressive playstyle, so be prepared for him to push aggressively and try to catch you off guard. Be cautious and use utility to delay his progress.
1. Play as a team: Although m0NESY is a skilled individual player, he is still just one player on a team. Work together with your team to coordinate your movements and take advantage of any weaknesses in his team's setup.
2. Counter his positions: m0NESY is known for playing certain positions on the map, so be prepared to counter those positions. For example, if he tends to play aggressively towards the mid area, be prepared to have players watching and countering that position.
Use utility effectively: Use utility such as smoke grenades and flashbangs to block off lines of sight and delay any potential attackers. Be creative and try to use your utility in unexpected ways to catch m0NESY off guard.
3. Stay focused: Playing against a skilled player like m0NESY can be intimidating, but it's important to stay focused and not get distracted. Stay calm and work together with your team to execute your strategy effectively.
4. Remember that playing against a skilled player like m0NESY is a challenge, but it's also an opportunity to improve your own skills and learn from the experience. Good luck!
I love the idea that you can just work together because ‘m0NESY is just one player’, as if everyone else on G2 isn’t also absolutely bonkers - but fine. Set up passive towards mid, flash him off and… maybe just go back to the three A two B set-up that Gl-AI-ve called earlier.
Maybe this wasn’t the best idea. Turns out there are some jobs AI can’t do for you. Apparently, it can help write articles, though, so I might be out of a job pretty soon.
