If you’re in the open, make your location closed. So now that we understand hot-zones, let’s talk about using structures effectively… With the paths visualised, is it now easy to understand why this basic understanding is so important? Being able to calculate all of this during a match in real-time, and able to act accordingly makes you unstoppable. Here you can see that I’ve circled the hot-zones in red, and paths with arrows. Let’s see an example of hot-zones from above. You know those capture points in Breakthrough? Those are artificial hot-zones, I say artificial as those aren’t accidentally there by nature of the terrain, they’re placed there as the soul point of the game-mode. Hot-zones are often an important element of a play space which is often completely overlooked, and fully controlling these easily dictate the direction of a match.
