MAPS

Concept

Ascent is a simple map. The only thing to highlight is its doors mechanics. Which are opened and closed by means of a switch. These doors allow us to cancel a connection to the Side, until it breaks or opens, modifying in a certain way the structure.

Orbs

A Main Orb: Favors the attacker.

B Main Orb: Favors the attacker.

 

 

Times of Rotations

I will put only some basic ones.

To the attack times, we must add the 4s it takes to plant the Spike.

In attack, the rotation is made up to the Default plant.

The times with a gun or knife are similar, as long as they are not heavy weapons.

Zone Analysis

Bathroom

Simple Structure.

Connection with A Side and A Lobby.

More Defender Priority.

More Value Positions for the defender.

Comments:

• Together with A Lobby, secures rotation through the Portal for the attacker.
• Has impact on PostPlant and Retake.

 

A Short

Simple Structure.

Connection with B Short, Lamps, Mid Connector, A Lobby and A Side.

More Defender Priority.

More Value Positions for the attacker.

Comments:

• Important for the Portal.
• Interesting for some aggressive defense.

 

B Short

Simple Structure.

Connection with A Short, Hooka, B Lobby and Mid Connector.

More Attacker Priority.

More Positions of Value for the attacker.

Comments:

• Together with Hooka, ensures rotation through the Portal for the attacker.
• Interesting for some aggressive defense.

 

Hooka

Simple Structure.

Connection with B Short and B Side.

Defensive Priority.

More Positions of Value for the defender.

Comments:

• Interesting for the attacker, take priority away from the defense.
• Together with B Short, ensures rotation through the Portal.

 

B Long

Compound Structure. First we have B Long and then Garden. Both are managed as the same space.

Connection with A Lobby, B Lobby and B Side.

More Defender Priority.

More Positions of Value for the defender.

Comments:

• Good zone to make timing aggressive on defense.
• Important for the Portal.

 

A Side

Complex Structure. Apart from the basic zones of a Side, it has a Heaven zone and the Lamps space that has a lot of incidence in the Side.

Connection Lamps (By Side and BackSide), B Short, A Short, Bathroom, Heaven and A CT.

Low Oppressive Shock Points.

Defensive Priority.

More Positions of Value for the defender.

Comments:

• Generally, it is a Side, quite defensive.
• A Side’s approach lies in the management of Lamps and Bathroom. Both before the approach and for the PostPlant and Retake.

 

B Side

Complex Structure. It has the basic zones of a Side and the Elbow zone.

Connection with Elbow, Hooka, B Long and B CT.

The shock point of B Long is not very oppressive. But Hooka’s is oppressive.

Defensive Priority.

More Value Positions for the Defender.

Comments:

• Not such an easy Side to defend and more so when utility comes into play.
• For the defender the Elbow zone is very important. Otherwise the PostPlant gets a little complicated. Since the attacker can be supported in many spaces, such as Hooka, B Long and Side.

Concept

Fracture is a map with 2 specific concepts.

• It has no Middle. Instead there are some zip lines that connect the attacking spawn zone and the other extreme of the map.
• Following the previous concept. The zone of defensive appearance is not at the other end of the zone of attacking appearance, as in all maps. It is located in an intermediate position.

Orbs

A Main Orb: Favors the Defender.

B Main Orb: Favors the Attacker.

Disc Orb: Favors the Attacker.

Arcade Orb: Favors the Attacker.

 

 

Times of Rotations

I will put only some basic ones.

To the attack times, we must add the 4s it takes to plant the Spike.

In attack, the rotation is made up to the Default plant.

The times with weapon or knife are similar, as long as they are not heavy weapons.

Defender or Attacker?

In my opinion 50/50. I have to say that this is the only map that generates me some uncertainty. It has uncommon aspects, that I don’t know how much value they will have for both attack and defense.

Zone Analysis

 

A Main

Simple Structure.

Connection with A Lobby and A Side.

More Attacker Priority than defender.

More Positions of Value for the attacker.

Comments:

For the attacker it is easy to Takear, but complicated to Retakear. In most cases it will be a preparation zone. And it has a very favorable Orb.

For the defender it is an interesting zone to make aggressives. Difficult to Retake.

 

B Main

Compound Structure. We have Main and Window.

Connection with B Lobby, B Side, Elbow and Spawn Attacker.

Slight Defender Priority.

More Positions of Value for the attacker.

Comments:

For the attacker it is a zone of preparation. With an easy Take.

For the defender it is a zone mainly to gather information and some occasional aggressive.

 

Elbow

Simple Structure.

Connection with B Main, B Lobby and Mid.

Priority 50/50.

Equal in Value Positions.

Comments:

For the attacker it is a transition zone to press Mid and enable Split. It is also an area ideal for Lurkear.

For the defender is an area propitious to gather information, some aggressive or push.

 

A Side

Complex Structure. This Side can be divided into 4 subzones.

• Dead Zone
• Positioning Zone (Pyramids)
• Dead Zone
• Positioning Zone (Yellow and Stairs)

It is a Side with different heights and positionings.

Connection with A Main, Mid, Tunnel and A CT.

Not very oppressive Shock Points.

Defensive priority evidently.

More Positions of Value for the defender.

Comments:

For the attacker it is a complicated Side, mainly because of 4 points.

• The number of positions and heights of the defender.
• If we analyze in detail the structure of the Side, we see that it is almost impossible to smoke with spherical smokes. For the wall smokes will be essential (Harbor, Viper or Neon).
• Punishable the plant.
  Positions of Value very limited in the PostPlant.
• These points lose impact and may even change when we include utility in the equation. For example: The amount of positionings is greatly reduced when the Wall Smoke comes into play.

For the defender it is a Side, which offers tools to defend it and a more or less simple Retake.

 

B Side

Complex Structure. We can divide it into 3 subzones.

• Positioning Zone
• Dead Zone
• Positioning Zone

Connection with B Main, Mid and B CT.

Slightly Oppressive Shock Points.

Defender priority evidently.

More Positions of Value for the defender.

Comments:

For the attacker it is a simpler Side than A Side. And with more possibilities in the PostPlant.

For the defender it is a Side that is not so easy to defend. And the Retake is more complicated than A Side.

 

Mid Zone

Complex Structure. Divided into 3 Subzones.

• Top Mid
• Mid
• Bottom Mid

Connection with A Side, B Side, Elbow, Mid Lobby and Tunnel (both Top Mid and Hatch).

Slight Priority for defense.

More Value Positioning for the defender.

Comments:

For the attacker it is an important zone.

• Since it connects directly with the Sides. That allows us to make Splits or generate such pressure.
• More mobility.
• Positioning for a Lurk.

For the defender is an important zone for several reasons.

• To stop/dificult the opponent’s Split.
• To have a shorter rotation from Tunnel to Double Doors.
• It is a zone that we want to control at the time of Retake. To have connection with Elbow, it allows us to press B Main in the Retake.

Attacker

 

 

Zone Analysis

A Main

Simple Structure.

Connection with A Lobby, A Link, A Side and Elbow.

Zone Priority is pretty much 50/50.

More Value positioning for the defender.

Comments:

A Main is key as it connects to the most important space in the A Zone, Elbow.

For the defender it is a zone where he is going to want to be aggressive and hold it.

For the attacker it is a transition zone. But they have to be aware of the defender’s “need” to be aggressive, and do something about it.

 

B Main

Composite Structure. A square and a rectangle connected by a staircase. Both with a central Element.

Connection with B Lobby and B Side.

The Priority is 50/50. But we have to talk about the two windows that the attacking side has, which have synergy with some abilities. Giving more priority to the attacker.

More Value Positions for the defender.

Comments:

The defender can use this zone for any purpose…..

• Get Info
• Bait utility
• Aggressive to timing…. etc

The attacker will use this zone for different purposes…

• Deny or Obtain information
• Lurk
• Pressure…. etc

 

Elbow

Simple Structure.

Connection with A Main and A Side.

Defensive Priority.

Both defense and offense are fairly evenly matched in Value Positions.

Comments:
The defender has to be efficient. Elbow is the farthest space from B Side. Making it one of the slowest rotations in the game. This has to be taken into account when defending Elbow. At the same time, for reasons of value positioning of A Side, Elbow becomes a very important area to generate other angles.

For the attacker it is very interesting. Since having Elbow, you drastically reduce the A Side value positions.

 

Market

Simple Structure.

Connection with Mid, B CT and B Side.

Defensive Priority.

More Value Positions for the defender.

Comments:

For the defender it is an important zone. It gives direct access to B Side, so the opponent will use it along with B Main to make Splits. It is also a space from where you can punish the opponent’s execution and postplant in B Side. It will be a zone that on most occasions, the defender will be interested in controlling, even more so with the priority of the zone and the door.

For the attacker it is a zone that can be interesting depending on the approach of the round. For all that has been said on the defending side. It is a zone where the defender will probably place passive vigilance mechanisms. Which is interesting, because when you break them you create pressure. The attacker has to be clear that the Take can be complicated.

In general it is a zone that is similar to Heaven’s Garage.

 

Tiles

Simple Structure.

Connection with A Lobby, Bottom Mid and Mid.

More Attacking Priority.

More Positions of Value for the attacker. Note that 99% of these are very short corners, which puts whoever is in one of these at a disadvantage.

Comments:

For the attacker it is an area favorable for Lurk. It also allows better mid pressure and access to duels with Top Mid and Market.

For the defender it is an interesting zone for aggressive, pushes or information gathering.

 

A Side

Simple Structure.

Connection with Elbow, A Main, A Link and A CT.

Shock points not very oppressive.

Defensive Priority evidently.

Positions of Value almost nonexistent.

Comments:

For the attacker it is a fairly easy Side. Once they have Elbow under control, the Side is almost a gift. When it comes to managing the PostPlant is still a bad Side in terms of positioning, but we can rely on Elbow and A Main.

For the defender it is a pretty bad Side because of what was said above. The important thing for this side will be:

• To have a good management of the zones before the Side.
• And then decide whether to fight in the Side with support for both A CT and A Link or to propose a good Retake.

 

B Side

Simple structure. With a giant column in the middle and other elements. We can highlight a zone of heights on one of the sides of the giant column. Side that has a dead zone before the column, where the attacker is exposed.

Connection with B Main, Market and B CT.

Shock points not very oppressive.

Defensive Priority obviously.

More Positions of Value for the defender.

Comments:

For the defender it is a Side that offers you more facilities than A Side. The keys will be to punish the dead zone, while we stop the connection to the Backside by stairs. The Side Retake is simple. The tricky part is the defuse when they are in B Main. Luck.

For the Attacker it is a somewhat complicated Side. Probably the Splits are the best option, since the Market zone softens the pressure on the Side and is a good area for some skills to impact the Backside. Once the Spike is planted the PostPlant on the Side is not very good, but from B Main it is very good.

 

Mid

Complex Structure. Divided into 3 subzones.

• Top Mid
• Mid
• Bottom Mid

Connection with A Link, B Link, B Lobby, Market and Tiles (By Mid and Bottom Mid).

More Defensive Priority.

More Value Positions for the Defender.

Comments:

For the Attacker the Mid zone implies several things:

• Control, to take away defensive priority.
• More Mobility
• Positioning

This Mid, specifically, is very easy to Takear or Retake for the attacker. Since the Tiles zone puts a lot of pressure on Mid.

For the Defender the Mid zone is appropriate for aggressive, pusheos or information gathering. It is not a zone where the defender wants to stay.
