How to save and organize CS2 nade lineups

A CS2 nade lineup is a repeatable grenade throw from a known position, using a specific aim point and technique so the grenade lands in a planned location. A useful lineup library preserves enough context to reproduce the throw quickly instead of sending you back through bookmarks and video history.

The short answer

The fastest reliable system is to save one timestamped clip per throw, label it by destination and grenade type, and pin both the start and landing positions on the map. Organize the result by map, T or CT side, grenade type and radar level.

A four-step lineup workflow

  1. Step 1

    Save the source

    Paste the YouTube or X clip that demonstrates the throw. A timestamped link opens at the useful moment.

  2. Step 2

    Record the setup

    Choose the map, grenade type, T or CT side, and the correct radar level when the map has more than one.

  3. Step 3

    Pin both positions

    Mark where the player throws and where the grenade lands, then add a short name that describes the result.

  4. Step 4

    Retrieve it by map

    Open the map, filter by grenade and side, and select the radar pin before the round starts.

What to record

A landing marker alone is not enough. These seven details make a saved lineup reproducible.

  • Thrower position
  • Aim reference
  • Throw technique, such as standing, jump-throw or running
  • Grenade landing position
  • T or CT side
  • Upper or lower level when relevant
  • A timestamped source clip

Common questions

What is a CS2 nade lineup?

A CS2 nade lineup is a repeatable grenade throw from a known position, using a specific aim point and technique so the grenade lands in a planned location.

What should a CS2 lineup record include?

Record the thrower position, aim reference, throw technique, landing position, grenade type, player side, map level and a timestamped demonstration clip.

How should I name a lineup?

Use a short result-first name, such as “T spawn to window smoke.” This makes the destination and grenade type visible before you open the clip.
