Attackers: Plant and detonate the Spike, OR eliminate all defenders; Defenders: Defuse the Spike, eliminate all attackers, OR let the round timer expire; First team to 13 rounds wins the map
Why people argue about this
People often assume that defenders can win by simply defusing the Spike before time runs out, forgetting about eliminating all attackers, which is crucial for them to claim a victory. The confusion arises because they overlook the requirement of eliminating all attackers as well, leading to misunderstandings and disputes during matches.
