Ninja defuse
How it happens: the Ts plant and move away to hold angles from a distance, or chase other CTs. One CT slips past them, reaches the bomb unseen and defuses it. The round ends immediately, even if several Ts are still alive.
The time it needs: defusing takes 10 seconds without a kit and 5 seconds with a $400 defuse kit. A ninja defuse almost always needs a kit, because 10 seconds next to the bomb is too long to stay unnoticed.
Ninja defuses are rare in pro CS2, because Ts usually keep someone watching the bomb. When they happen, they are among the most replayed moments of a tournament, often at the end of a clutch or a chaotic retake.
