How Summit works
The training academy sits among steep mountain scenery. Its most important twist is a set of large walls that can be dropped and stay changed for the rest of the round. Teams must recognize when a route opens or closes rather than memorizing a single layout.
How to attack
Before a site hit, communicate which wall is still standing. Use an initial probe to draw defensive utility, then commit with a clear second route. If a wall falls, immediately update the player assigned to watch the flank.
How to defend
Defend the unaltered lanes early, but make a second plan for the post-wall layout. A teammate who keeps guarding an obsolete choke point can leave a free entry. Save some delaying utility for the route that becomes available.
Map control and positioning
Use mid to test defender responses; choose the site only once your team understands the wall state. Changing the map without a follow-up plan can benefit the other side.
Plants, post-plants and retakes
The wall sound and its resulting open angle both convey information. Pause, re-clear the changed sightline, and rotate only after someone confirms which path is safe.
Common mistake
Treating a dropped wall as decoration. Its change lasts through the round, so previous callouts may no longer describe the actual route.
Practice this map
Load Summit in a custom game. Walk both site approaches, test the main rotation, and practice one coordinated entry and one retake. Repeat after major map geometry changes.
