Viper on Pearl

Pearl

Viper's wall splits Pearl's open mid, letting the team commit to A Link or B Main without a contested cross-map duel.

Executes

  • Toxic Screen from Mid Shops to A Link, cutting off vision from Mid Top as the team executes A.
  • Snake Bite the A Main to A Site choke before pushing to punish anyone holding an off-angle.

Default Setup

  • Hold Mid Plaza with the wall as a fallback if there's no read on either site.
  • Recharge Fuel behind B Screen so Viper's Pit is ready for a post-plant retake.

Lineups

  • Snake Bite lineup from Site lands directly on B Hall, useful for defending a plant on B.
