Callouts near A Pocket

• A BoxThe boxes on A Site by the plant area, cover for a planter and for a defender holding the site.
• A YardThe open area attackers reach after passing A Main or A Link. Teams usually want to control it before planting, and it is a common flash point.
• A ElbowA bend on the A-side approach near Yard and Pocket that both teams fight over, since holding it keeps a fallback spot on the site.
• A SiteThe A bombsite area itself, covering the planting zone and the positions around it, so players use it for the whole site.
• A MainThe main attacker entrance into A. Early pushes here are often less valuable because defenders can fall back, so players call it when someone takes that entrance.
• A CraneAn A-side entrance that defenders commonly use, reached through the defender-side route, so players call it when a fight starts at that door into A.

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.
