How this map plays

Four thick bush layers stacked across the map with narrow open bands between them, and the star sitting in the widest of those bands. Almost every kill here comes from someone walking into a bush that already had somebody in it. Long-range brawlers are far weaker than they look because the layers cut every lane into short segments.

  • Four full-width bush layers run across the map, two on each side of the halfway line.
  • A clear horizontal band of open floor sits between the two middle layers, with the star in the middle of it.
  • Gaps in each layer are narrow and staggered, so crossing the map means passing through cover repeatedly.
  • Water pools sit in the corners and cut off the outermost rotation on each side.
  • Walls and crates are scattered inside the layers, giving throwers permanent cover.

Playing it well

  • Never walk into a layer alone; clear it with area damage or send two bodies in together.
  • The star band is the only long lane — grab the star early and then stop standing on it.
  • Trade in the layers when you are behind and hold the open band when you are ahead.
  • Track which layer their high-bounty brawler is in; that is the only fight worth starting.
  • Use the staggered gaps to reset — you can break line of sight in one step almost anywhere here.
