Spawn:

Spawn is the location where a player starts a round in Counter-Strike 2, or the point they return to when a side begins the game. In common use, it can also refer to a player’s spawn position, which affects early-round movement, utility timing, and how quickly a team can reach key map areas.

Spawn positions matter because they are not the same for every player or every round, and they can influence who gets to an angle, bombsite, or utility setup first.
