Split
Vertical, no mid · Ropes and vents
Height decides fights; controlling the vents isolates a site from its rotation.
2 sites · 24 published callouts · in the Competitive pool. Rewards Controller · Sentinel.
Both defaults, and the buy
- Attacking
- Commit early — a slow default gives the defence both rotations.
- Defending
- Play the height and let them walk into the choke.
- First buy
- Commit to one half of the map early; a slow default gives the defence both rotations.
- Utility
- Smoke the height first, then take the vent — rafters cost two utilities, not one.
Say it in three
- Way in
- A Main
- Plant zone
- A Site
- They arrive
- A Back
All of A: Back · Lobby · Main · Rafters · Ramps · Screens · Sewer · Site · Tower. Callout names are Riot’s own; the reduction to three is ours.
