Ranked Guide: How to Climb
The habits that win ranked matches at each stage, from drones to the post-plant.
Win the prep phase
Drone for your team. Finding the site and the anchor before you commit is the cheapest advantage in the game.
Use the ban phase
Ban what your team cannot answer. Use the Team Builder to spot the operator who punishes your plan the hardest.
Plan the plant
Decide where the defuser goes before you enter. Many rounds are won at the fight for the site and then lost at the plant.
