CS2 Cache — Mid Molotov from Garage

A community-submitted CS2 Cache Molotov lineup thrown from Garage onto Mid. The grenade is in the air for 2.7 seconds. Every step below is captured as a still frame from in-game — the standing spot, the crosshair alignment, a zoomed crop of that alignment, and the result — so you can match your own screen against each one instead of guessing from a video.

How to throw it

  1. Go to Garage on Cache and find the exact standing spot shown in the throw-position frame. Walk into it rather than running — the frames were captured from a standstill.
  2. Match your crosshair to the alignment frame. The zoomed crop of the same frame is there for the fine adjustment — line up on the landmark it highlights, not on the middle of your screen.
  3. Throw at full power with left click — do not tap right click, a standard throw and a lob travel very different distances.
  4. It lands on Mid after 2.7 seconds in the air. Compare the result frame against your own throw — if the molotov is off, the alignment step is almost always the one that drifted.

What this grenade does

A molotov spreads fire across the surface it breaks on for around 7 seconds, which is long enough to deny a plant, break a hold, or force a player out of a corner without ever seeing them.

This is a T-side lineup: it is thrown to open up Cache for an execute, so it is worth having a teammate ready to move the moment the Molotov is on Mid.

How hard is it

Easy — the alignment is a large, obvious landmark, so this one survives a bad day.

Does it still work?

Map geometry and grenade physics change between CS2 updates, and a lineup that worked last season can land a metre short after a patch. No member has voted on this lineup yet. If you land it, mark it verified so the next player knows it survived the latest update.
