Shard-anchored spike gardens tax every pinch point, and a gravity well beside each flag makes the regrab a knife fight.

How it plays
Every pinch point is taxed in spikes, and the well beside each flag turns its pocket into a blender: grabs, tags and regrabs all happen inside the pull. Clean movement is worth more here than anywhere — the map never stops charging for contact with its geometry.
How to win it
In the flag pocket, use the well instead of fighting it: orbit the pull and let it sling you out with the flag rather than boosting against it. Defenders should hold the rim, not the centre — the regrab fight favours whoever enters the well last with speed in hand. Between pockets, patience: the spike gardens eat boosted chases.
