Around it

Callouts near Mid Shops

• Mid PlazaThe central hub of mid that opens rotation paths to both sites, and the spot where players place early smokes to deny attacker sightlines onto A Secret and A Flowers.
• B ClubThe club building on the attacker side of B, between attacker spawn and B Ramp, where B pushes are set up.
• Mid TopThe upper mid entrance and the only way into A Art, so players use it to flag enemies pushing from the attacker side toward the flank.
• B LinkA passage on B that sits beside B Main and B Hall, and is the safer retake entry for defenders because a player in B Main can cover it.
• B RampThe ramp onto B Site on the opposite side from B Main, where a corner between the two is a common camping spot for defenders.
• Mid DoorsThe door entrance on the mid side that A Main and A Link can be walled off from, making it the common setup point for blocking the A entry.

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.
