This is a great Spycam position while in defense as it will allow you to get a complete view of the attacking team’s aggressive pushes from A Lobby into the A Main while also providing information on the A site and A Elbow. This information can expedite your team's rotation to the site if the enemy commits to A site.

Additionally, this Spycam angle reveals attackers' legs approaching from A Main before they notice the camera.


3) Spycam to spot B Main and B Market
