Corrode A Site tips

1. 01Take Yard before planting. It is the open area attackers reach after A Main or A Link, and splitting pressure through Link and Main is a common way to get there.
2. 02Clearing Pocket and Elbow gives attackers a fallback position to hold after the plant.
3. 03As defenders, contest A Link early. Holding Elbow keeps some control of the site when the attackers push ground.
