Details
A key bunker is a strategically important position on the field that grants significant visibility, shooting lanes, and defensive power. These bunkers often sit near vital paths, corners, or mid field zones where early eliminations or strong pressure can be applied.
Key bunkers are central to breakout plans. Teams typically send their fast or experienced players to secure these positions before the opponent can claim them.
Holding a key bunker allows a player to: Control crossfield angles Lock down wide routes Protect teammates advancing elsewhere Prevent opponents from pushing certain areas
Losing control of a key bunker early can shift the momentum of the match, making it harder to regain field dominance.
