Playing it
Sunset A Site tips
- 01Take A Elbow early, since holding it makes it much easier to keep the spike covered.
- 02A Site sits far from Mid Courtyard, so defenders struggle to rotate there after a plant; time your pushes around that gap.
- 03Clear A Alley and A Lobby with flashes before peeking, because its deep corners punish a blind entry.
