How this map plays
The gem mine sits dead centre in a small clearing, walled off from both spawns by two thick bush belts that run the full width of the map. Almost every fight happens on the seam of those belts rather than on the mine itself. Whoever controls the side lanes decides which team can rotate to the mine without being seen.
- The mine is exactly centre, in a clearing ringed by crate and barrel clusters that give cover on all four sides.
- Two full-width bush belts cross the map, one between each spawn and the mine.
- Deep bush columns run down both outer edges, connecting spawn to mine without crossing open ground.
- Wall clusters sit diagonally off the mine, giving each team a thrower pocket that covers it.
- The spawns are wide open, so a team that gets pushed back to spawn has nothing to hide behind.

Playing it well
- Send the carrier to the side lanes, never through the bush belt — that is where the ambush lives.
- Hold the seam between your bush belt and the clearing; you can see the mine from there without standing on it.
- Clear the belt with area damage before rotating, or you rotate into an invisible Bull.
- At nine gems, pull the carrier back into your own bush belt and make them come through the seam.
- Sudden death collapses the clearing first, so pre-position on the side lane you intend to hold.
