What is Plant / Spike in Esports?

The attacking objective in tactical shooters: planting the bomb (CS2) or spike (Valorant) at a designated site starts a detonation timer, and the defence must defuse it to win the round. A planted bomb flips the round's pressure.

Example: A late plant with two alive forced the retake.
