Execute

Example: on Mirage, a classic A execute smokes off the CT spawn and the jungle area, flashes over the site and sends the entry in first.
A good execute needs:
- timing: all grenades landing within a few seconds;
- enough utility: a team that cannot afford grenades cannot execute properly, which is one reason a full buy matters;
- numbers: usually four or five players.
Executes are often set up by a default: the team spreads out first, gathers information, then picks a site and executes late in the round.
