How to Hold B Site on Inferno as CT
Updated October 10, 2026 · MyCS2Guru crew
B site on Inferno is all about Banana. If the CTs control Banana, the Ts struggle to execute. If the Ts take Banana easily, B becomes very hard to hold. Here's how to hold it.
The setup
| Player | Position | Job |
|---|---|---|
| Banana player | Car or Top Banana early | Early fights and utility |
| Site anchor | Coffins, New Box or Dark | Hold the site |
| Rotator | CT / Arch | Help B or A |
Early round: Banana control
- Throw a molotov deep Banana at the start of the round to stop the T rush.
- Follow with an HE to damage players waiting behind it.
- Use a flash to re-peek Banana and look for a kill.
- Don't overcommit. Once you've done damage, fall back.
Mid round: holding the site
When the Ts start their execute (smoke CT, smoke Coffins, mollies on site), the anchor should:
- Play a safe position that's hard to reach with utility.
- Call how many are coming.
- Fall back to CT if the execute is overwhelming.
Fallback timing
Holding alone against three or four Ts usually ends badly. If the Ts commit with full utility:
- Fall back toward CT.
- Call "B is hit, rotate."
- Wait for your rotators to retake together.
Retaking B
- Gather with your rotators at CT.
- Throw flashes onto site.
- Use smokes to block post-plant angles.
- Retake together, not one by one.
Common mistakes
- Wasting all utility early. Save some for the execute.
- Dying on Banana for nothing. Fall back after damage.
- No call for help. Rotators need early info.
- Retaking one by one.
Practice drill
Practice the deep Banana molotov and HE lineups until you can throw them in the first five seconds of the round. Then practice re-peeking with a flash. See our Inferno callouts and molotov guide.
Positions on B site explained
| Position | Strength | Weakness |
|---|---|---|
| Coffins | Hard to flash, sees Banana exit | Easily mollied |
| New Box | Close, surprising angle | Gets cleared on executes |
| Dark | Off-angle, watches site | Can be isolated |
| Fountain | Covers site and CT | Exposed to Banana |
| Car (early) | Banana info and fights | Risky against rushes |
Rotate positions between rounds. If the Ts clear Coffins every time, play Dark or Fountain next round.
Reading the Ts on Banana
Banana tells you a lot. Listen for footsteps and utility:
- Lots of utility early: probably an execute coming.
- Quiet Banana: could be a fake or an A hit. Call it.
- One player making noise: classic fake. Don't over-rotate.
Tell your team what you hear. "Quiet Banana, maybe A" is useful info.
Working with the A players
B and A on Inferno are far apart. When B is hit, the A players rotate through CT, which takes time. Delay as long as you can with utility. Every second you stall helps the retake.
Economy for the B player
The B player uses a lot of utility: molotov, HE, flash and maybe a smoke. That's around $1,200 in nades. Make sure you have budget for it on full buys, and if you're short, prioritize the molotov.
Advanced tips
- Re-take Banana mid-round if the Ts back off. Surprise aggression catches lurkers.
- Save a smoke for the CT exit so your retakers can come in safely.
- Play for time on 1v3s. Hide, delay, and let your teammates retake.
