Anti-eco
The richer team is the clear favorite, but it has a lot to lose. If it gets careless and the eco team wins fights, the poorer team picks up rifles and armor, while the rich team has to rebuy everything.
How teams play anti-ecos: they avoid close-range fights where pistols are strong, stay together, trade kills and play for safe picks with long-range weapons. Many teams buy SMGs for anti-ecos, because SMG kills pay $600 instead of $300.
Anti-eco rounds are most common in rounds 2 and 3 after a pistol round.
