Tarpit Mid
The mid powerup nest sits inside a diamond ring of tar. Anyone can grab the pup, but they wade in and out — committing to mid is a real exposure cost.
How it plays
Mid is the map's only real decision. The powerup nest pays for itself if you take it uncontested, but tar cuts your speed both ways, so a player committed to the diamond is out of every chase for the next few seconds. Time the grab for when the enemy is respawning or deep on offence.
How to win it
Win it by treating the tar as a wall the enemy occasionally volunteers to stand behind. A carrier should route around the diamond, never through it; a chaser who sees the carrier wade in can simply hold the exit. Send one teammate to tax enemy pup grabs and spend the numbers advantage everywhere else.
