Defense - 8.8

After the site falls

In one line: When the attack takes the site, the defense has a few seconds to decide: retake, wait, hit from behind or save. Players who fall back well, regroup and pick the right timing turn a lost site into a round that is still open.

The moment after

In almost every round there is a moment where the defense loses the site: the attack comes in with numbers, the site defenders die or fall back, and reinforcements have not arrived yet. What happens in the next few seconds often decides the round.

There are four options:

  • hit during the plant, if you are close and the attack is busy planting;
  • regroup and retake after the plant;
  • hit the attack from behind through another entrance (a flank), if there is a path;
  • save, if numbers and time leave no hope.

Choosing well depends on three things: how many of you there are, how many of them, and how much time is left.
