CS2 AWPer Guide: Positioning Without Camping

AWP is map control, not KD farming

Good AWPers create space; passive AWPers hold the same angle until the round times out and the team loses map control.

Positioning rules

• Hold one strong angle per phase, then reposition after a shot or deny
• Never repeek the same angle after a miss unless you have trade setup
• Anchor rotates that delay pushes — do not hunt every round

Economy

AWP tax is real. Drop for star riflers when the team is on force. Saving the AWP for a unwinnable round is valid.
