Ancient Smoke Lineups: 60 Throws Used by Pros

Ancient has 60 smoke lineups below, every one measured from real pro matches rather than copied from a list. Each was thrown from the same spot and angle at least three times, by at least two different players, and landed in the same place. They are sorted by side and by where the smoke lands, with the most-used throws first.

How to use these lineups

Each entry gives the technique and a console command that puts you on the exact spot, looking at the exact angle. To practise, start a local server and run:

sv_cheats 1
sv_infinite_ammo 1
sv_grenade_trajectory_prac_pipreview 1
give weapon_smokegrenade

Paste a lineup's command into the console, then throw with the technique listed. Note your crosshair position and what you are standing against, because the command won't work in a real match. For a jump throw, jump and release in the same moment.

To step through every lineup on this map, download the Ancient practice script, put it in your CS2 game/csgo/cfg folder, run exec lineups_ancient and press N to move to the next one.

In each diagram, the numbers mark where to stand and the blue circle marks where the smoke lands. Location names come from the game's own map data, so treat them as nearby areas rather than exact callouts. The diagrams are flat, so upper and lower floors overlap.

About this data

These lineups come from player positions, view angles and smoke landing points recorded in demos from IEM Cologne Major 2026 and other 2026 pro matches, taken from the public cs2-demos archive. They only cover throws pros repeated from a standing start, so they are not every possible smoke on the map. A later map update can move a landing spot, so check a lineup in practice before relying on it.
