CS2 site control: plants and round outcomes

A site outcome is useful when you know which situations entered the sample. Start with plant counts and winners, then decide what further evidence could answer your question.

What counts as a site record?

JumpThrow counts a recorded plant on a recognised A or B site when players are alive on both teams and the round result is valid. Site records cover the full match: only T can plant, so changing the CT/T lens does not change those site totals.

A missing site slice is unavailable evidence, not a measured zero. The radar marks the general site location; its pins are not exact bomb coordinates or a route taken by the planter.

What is post-plant conversion?

It is the planting team’s round wins divided by its eligible recorded plants, expressed as a percentage. Read the numerator and plant count together. This measures results after plants, not the success of every attempted site execute.

Planting-team conversion = round wins after planting ÷ eligible plants × 100. An attempted execute that ends before a plant is outside that denominator. Conversion cannot by itself identify which setup or utility sequence caused the result.

Is a defender win after a plant a successful retake?

The defender total is eligible plants minus planting-team wins, when those records are consistent. It describes who won the planted rounds; the snapshot does not establish whether each defender win involved an attempted retake.

Keep this denominator separate from a metric that divides successful retakes by measured retake attempts. Calling both “retake success” would hide a material difference.

How do before-plant and after-plant records differ?

Before-plant combat runs up to the plant tick in planted rounds; after-plant combat runs from that point to round end. A player contributes to the after-plant population only if alive at the plant. The “no plant” group includes rounds without a plant event or reliable plant tick, which this snapshot cannot distinguish.

The CT/T lens changes phase fights and player records, while A/B plant totals stay full match. Read each phase’s round count with its damage or kill rate; phases are not normalised for duration.

How can I use the result in review?

A low conversion rate identifies a set of outcomes to investigate. It does not diagnose poor utility, default play or coordination. Compare the sample, equipment and opponents before testing more than one explanation.

Use utility for recorded aggregate grenade effects and heatmaps for available position evidence. Site Control’s filtered Heatmap actions do not promise an exact round or moment. Use available replay separately when a known round can answer the question.
