Hold Apartments and Mid with constant map pressure but minimal risk.

Round plan

How Control B unfolds across the round: from the setup call through the early, mid and late timings to the post-plant.

  1. Basic
    • Send a lurker
    • Contact play (no util, react on sight)
    • Delayed split (stagger the two groups)
  2. Early
    • Early: fast mid control
    • Early: hold and gather info
  3. Mid
    • Mid: split B
  4. Late
    • Late: commit B
  5. Post-plant
    • Post-plant: some hold, some flank
