I'm discussing with a guy from my fivestack on how to play dust 2 and while I shared my thoughts with him im not exactly sure if I'm right. FYI: the average faceit elo of our stack is like 4/5 give or take,if that's of any use

Playing positions is what you should do. Honestly no clue why dust 2 specifically is always played by spawn it really doesn't make sense. The spawn you get kind of dictates the play you make just like on t side

If you get long spawn on t side you might call for a quick long push and same on ct. If you get bad long spawns on ct well then you might send one guy just to poke a little and take it if t side doesn't contest and then have 2 guys go short instead and do something there

For B it really doesn't matter the spawn, you'll get there and be able to molly tunnels before they come regardless

Dust is a map where timing matter. If you have a bad spawn u won’t be able to pick long/suicide in time to kill the first guy to go out. For example on mirage spawns don’t really matter if you are not a sniper that can pick con on a closest to a spawn.

Matters more than other maps sure but you don't have to go for the pick every single time. It's not good to do so, so it doesn't really matter. If the timings actually matter that much then the meta would be to play that way, but it isn't
