Playing it
Lotus A Site tips
- 01Attackers: clear A Main with utility before pushing, since the breakable wall to A Link gives a second entry and defenders can break it to flank.
- 02Attackers: smoke the stairs and A Cubby first, then push A Tree with two players and send the rest in once the tree is secured.
- 03Defenders: hold A Tree and check A Drop for flanks from A Top. If the A Link wall breaks, expect pressure coming through A Main.
