  4. Win two roundsEach round is a different sub-map

The basics

Objective
Both teams fight for one control point on the current sub-map. Hold it to build capture progress. The first team to win two rounds takes the match.
Where you spawn
Teams start at opposite ends of each sub-map and reach the point from two sides.

Beginner tips

  • Two sub-maps were renamed in the 2026 rework: Drilling Rig was Labs and Anomaly was Sublevel.
  • Check which sub-map loaded before choosing a hero: each plays differently.
  • Fight for the point together instead of standing on it alone.
