Knockout
3v3

Knockout

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

Rules

  1. No respawns inside a round — one death and you watch the rest of it.
  2. Best of three, and the map layout does not change between rounds.
  3. Once the round timer bites, the outer ring turns lethal and squeezes both teams together.
  4. 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.
