Pearl Mid tips

1. 01Get an early presence on Mid Plaza, because whoever holds it controls the rotation paths to both sites.
2. 02Take Mid Top early, since it is the only way into Art and blocking it stops the flank before it starts.
3. 03Use Mid Connector and Mid Doors as wall-smoke origins to cut sightlines onto B Screen and A Main from a distance.
