Around it

Callouts near A Main

• A LobbyThe exit from the attacker spawn that leads into A Main; it works as a choke point close to Mid Tiles and A Elbow.
• A SiteThe smaller of the two bombsites, which the A Elbow, A Link and A Alley routes all feed into.
• A ElbowA bend on the approach to A Site, reached from Mid along a connector route; attackers usually take it early because it makes holding the spike easier.
• Mid TilesA section of mid that connects to Mid Courtyard and works as a choke point for holding mid.
• A LinkThe connector between Mid (through Mid Top) and the upper defender spawn area on the A side; smokes placed here can block sightlines along the route.
• Mid BoxThe box in the middle of Mid Courtyard, the only cover for players crossing mid.

Sunset A Site tips

1. 01Take A Elbow early, since holding it makes it much easier to keep the spike covered.
2. 02A Site sits far from Mid Courtyard, so defenders struggle to rotate there after a plant; time your pushes around that gap.
3. 03Clear A Alley and A Lobby with flashes before peeking, because its deep corners punish a blind entry.
