Callouts near A 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 BoxThe boxes on A Site by the plant area, cover for a planter and for a defender holding the site.
• A LinkThe corridor connecting A to Mid. Both sides contest it, and control of it often decides whether A can be taken or held.
• 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 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.
• A PocketA nook on the A side, next to Elbow, that attackers clear on the safer route 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.
