Lane assignments

Win the round by elimination, not by damage: a trade is only good when it leaves you more players.

  • Left laneBrock — long lane: keep the sightline and poke
  • MidPiper — long lane: keep the sightline and poke
  • Right laneEdgar — dive: wait for the cooldown, then take the back line

  1. 0–5sTake the safe ground; do not enter the middle first.
  2. 5–10sPoke to force a heal, then push the player who used it.
  3. 10–15sPlay the wall on the enemy side of the zone.
  4. 15–20sAt an advantage, hold angles and let them come.

Comeback: Group and take one angle at a time; a 2v3 retake from the same side beats two solo dives.
