Knockout
3v3

Knockout

Wipe out the enemy team; two round wins takes the match.

Rules

  • No respawns inside a round — one death and you watch the rest of it.
  • Best of three, and the map layout does not change between rounds.
  • Once the round timer bites, the outer ring turns lethal and squeezes both teams together.
  • Sides swap between rounds, so a spawn advantage never lasts.

Team archetypes

Long-range pokeDamage that forces the enemy to move first without ever entering their range.
Bush clearerSomeone who can flush cover so a flanker cannot open the round with a free pick.
PeelerA brawler with a displacement Super that saves a teammate who got jumped.

Playing it well

  • Nothing is worth a death here — a 3v2 is close to a decided round.
  • Poke first, commit second; the team that has to walk into the open loses the exchange.
  • Hold Supers for the crunch when the ring closes rather than spending them in the opening minute.
  • If you lose one early, stall to the ring and take the fight where their numbers matter least.
  • Track their Supers out loud — a used Super is a window worth more than any position.
