Key Points
- Assigned to players before the game begins during team planning.
- Used to shoot break lanes at the start of the match.
- Often the safest bunker in the opening seconds.
- Players may stay for early pressure or quickly transition to forward bunkers.
- Placement affects team strategy and breakout success.
Details
The starting bunker is the initial position a player occupies when the game begins. Each player breaks out from the start box to a designated bunker that fits their role back players typically start in large bunkers for laning, while front players begin closer to routes they plan to run.
Starting bunkers are important because they shape the breakout strategy. The angles available from these bunkers determine which lanes a team can control in the opening moment. Strong starting positions increase the likelihood of catching opponents moving through dangerous paths.
Players often move quickly out of starting bunkers after the first few seconds, transitioning into power positions or safer mid-field bunkers. Others may remain in their starting bunker longer to maintain pressure and stabilize the field.
Choosing the correct starting bunker is essential for coordinated breakouts and avoiding early eliminations.
