• A MainThe main lane leading from the A side toward A Site, where early contact usually happens. A player on Screens can watch the A Main crossing from behind the site.
• A TowerThe high ground above A Site that overlooks Ramps.
• Mid TopThe defender end of mid by Mail and Vent; holding it controls both mid routes.

Split A Site tips

1. 01Take A Main and the Ramps before pushing the site. Holding the top of Ramps gives a wide view, but it is usually the first place defenders check on a retake.
2. 02After taking A, clear A Tower (Heaven). A vent drops from there into Mid, so defenders can use it to rotate.
3. 03On defense, put one player on Screens for information and one at the top of Ramps who falls back to Rafters when pushed. Watch for pushes coming up from Mid.
