'ELLO T8RZ
Don't be fooled by the strange agents... FNATIC had a 7-0 record
this year on Haven, averaging 13-7. The comp is great AND you get
to play double duelist, why doesn't everyone just play it?

Defensively this compositions revolves around Yoru's ability to

both fast flood sites, but also mantain space on the map that no
other agent can; pushes deep on A and Middle will be common.

On Attack side we lack some of the execute support from

a Breach but we have two duelists to "go kill". The Attack can
played to brute-force with the duelists, but FNATIC plays it in
a more subtle, push-and-pull, strategic way.

Good luck!

OVERVIEW

We've stolen a pistol G2 ran with their

Yoru comp that involves faking the A STEP 1: FAKE A STEP 2: CONTACT C SPLIT
and using the Yoru's ability to fast TP
back to split the C Site. Sova has the
option to late lurk A once inserted.

This round could also be viable on a

gunround, especially if you're using
G2's system revolves around the Yoru
taking A control (see G2 Default).

DEFAULTS

A classic default on Haven, using Iso's

undercut like a Breach stun. Our goal
here is to get control, and quickly
make a decision about our next steps;
unlike the Breach comp variations our
A Finish isn't quite as strong so we
cannot always bruteforce A.

WHEN TO CALL THIS:

- Antieco

- Defence overrotates to A,
opening C cancel options

FINISHERS

As stated before, our A Exec here

isn't quite as strong as some other INTO A EXEC INTO CANCEL C INTO C SPLIT
compositions, so be careful brute
forcing into 3 players. If we suspect an
overrotation or a heavy stack, we can
quickly transition to C.

B is also an option (shown later in

document), but this requires a great
read from this default.

DEFAULT

Althought slightly harder to play due to

its spread nature, the Garage Default
is very strong with our composition.
The goal is to figure out where feels
weak on the map, and finish elsewhere
with the power of Iso's entry. Our
primary goals are to remove sentinel
utility from garage (and escape) and
pressuring A, whilst we contain Mid+C.

G2 DEFAULT 10

OVERVIEW

The G2 Default is inspired by the way

G2 use their Yoru (despite using a very
different Viper composition). The idea
is that we can more aggressively take
control of A with the Yoru (who can
TP out if in trouble) whilst also taking
Garage.

It's possible to create a Playbook

system around this style of default
where we use the Yoru on A to fake
too (like the Pistol), but maybe for
another day!

WHEN TO CALL THIS: GARAGE TAKE

- We prefer / find more comfort - Use recon and undercut/smoke to take
with this Default than the "Garage garage. Don't force it if you can't! Kill sentinel
Default" utility and dip!

OMEN ULTS (FAKES) 11

OVERVIEW

Commonly Omen's might ult towards C SPLIT B EXEC

the back of B to C CSPLIT, specifically
DRX would have a full strat around it.

These ideas are fakes of that concept

that look to drag rotations towards the
ult... but Omen is with the pack.

FAST C SPLIT 12

STRAT

We suggest the Fast C Split be

heavier towards garage for us to trade
effectively. Using drone is the safe
option, but you can also do the recon/
clone take. Omen can use TPs on C
Long to carefully position into cubby.
Cypher can lurk or join.

Note: FNATIC often do not run fast

strats with this composition, and play
the map more. Fast-strats are still
possible with a good read.

WHEN TO CALL THIS:

- We have a read Defence is weak C

STRAT

The Fast C Exec is a common mix-up

idea for many comps; I don't think it's
particularly this compositions strength
but still possible.

Note: FNATIC often do not run fast

strats with this composition, and play
the map more. Fast-strats are still
possible with a good read.

CYPHER SETUPS PAGE 17

OVERVIEW

Here are a few considerations when

playing Cypher on C. Generally we FULL C SETUP STANDARD INFO SETUP GIFTED "A" TRIP
always want at least one trip on C
and then another trip can be used to
support our C setup, for info, or to
help A.

Cypher playing A is usually an edge-

case idea / gameplan idea, at higher
levels it is easily abusable. But if it
works for you then go ahead!

If we are confident they might come C, Cypher can Generally we want the trip in Garage for information, When Attackers have been abusing A we can give one
play with both trips. Make sure the setup makes it forces the Attackers to default Garage. If they start of our trips to the A side of the map to help with the
sense for this (solo holding isn't a good idea unless doing it a lot then we can moe it elsewhere. hold.
weh have REALLY fast rotations!)
FNATIC often won't use the trip on B as its usually
shocked/shot and B isn't that scary. We can use a B

ISO + SOVA A CONTROL PAGE 18

OVERVIEW

Here are a few variations of the A

control using the undercut, sova shock ISO SEWERS ISO LONG ISO A LINK
and omen smoke combinations. We
have put the ones that make most
sense to use on each setup, but feel
free to deviate if it makes sense.

This is generally the most sound way to take A control If we have a read that we can fight or be more When Yoru is A or we want to play a very soft A
when Yoru isn't A. It doesn't force Iso to be too risky, aggressive towards Long then this is a possible appraoch, then Iso can use undercut from A-Link.
and we avoid sitting behind any smokes Attackers may variation when Iso is A.
throw at Long.
PISTOL: MID PUSH 19

OVERVIEW

We recommend using a Mid Push

pistol as we can react fast to the
extremity bombsites. We will take
duels at middle if they come, and be
in a position to flood or flank A/C.

WHEN TO CALL THIS:

- Pistol
- To punish midcontrols
- To avoid being ulted on sites

IF THEY GO A
- ATTACK IS SLOW: FLANK A
- ATTACK IS FAST: FLOOD SITE

ABUSE FLANK IF POSSIBLE
YORU A (SOFT) (1/2) 20

DEFAULT

A common gameplan idea will be to

try to confirm A Control with the Yoru,
and then having the option to rotate
quickly (whether thats Sova leaving, or
a pre-set C-Side TP from Yoru).

This is a similar gameplan you'll see

Jett compositions run, but with Yoru
we are safer to stay aggressive, and we
have flooding options with our TP.

WHEN TO CALL THIS:

- Generally sound Default
- Yoru wants to OP A

- Try to get Yoru on deep line and rotate

SETUPS

Here are a couple of additional layers GARAGE SETUP VARIATION IDEALIZED "A" HOLD
to the setup. Note that these ideas
can generally be applied on other
rounds too.

CALL THIS WHEN: CALL THIS WHEN:

- We want to punish Garage - We have fully-lost A Control
- Attack has good ults for C, and suspect an exec
we can play for off-site trip kills - NOTE: this is just a guide, agreeing on your own
micro hold here is a good idea! We HIGHLY recommend
the smoke though.

A SITE HOLDS
YORU A (HARD FIGHT) 22

OVERVIEW

The Hard Fight is an attempt to fully

shut-down the Attacks A Control. The
micro may have to change depending
on the team, but our recommendation
is generally sound. You can also have
Omen come sewers with paranoia, if
you want to risk 4A.

The second layer to this is that we

can quickly transition to 3C with Yoru
TP and Omen's rotation, if the Attack
reacts to our utility/fight.

WHEN TO CALL THIS:

- We want to punish Attack's A Control IF THEY SMOKE LONG
- Flash through smoke

DERKE GO KILL MID 23

OVERVIEW

Against some teams the "Derke Go

Kill Mid" may make more sense than
the Yoru A gameplans. The goal is to
create kill pressure at middle whilst
breaking the sentinel utility, putting
the Attacker's in an awkward position
to reclear middle or commit.

WHEN TO CALL THIS:

- We want to punish middle
- Attack cypher/KJ is weak middle
- Yoru cannot get picks A

STANDARD CYPHER VARIATION

- Cypher doesn't have to be ready to swing
garage, can play standard

HOLD FOR WINDOW SWING VARIATION

- If we keep abusing middle, they are likely to
try to punish us back. This setup deals with
the counter to the counter :)
YORU OP B/C 24

OVERVIEW

Much like Jett, the Yoru will want to be YORU OP B YORU OP C

dynamic with his OP positions. Note
that he can often take deeper lines or
stay longer than a Jett due to his TP.

WHEN TO CALL THIS:

- We think there's a free OP pick B/C

OVERVIEW

Similar to the YORU A (HARD FIGHT)

we can shut-down and bait a C Exec
reaction from the Attackers, but be
ready with double TPs to flood in C.
TP TO C
IF THEY EXEC
If they go B, use our A priority to set
up a flank, Omen Ult can be used to
clear space around middle/B.

ISO ULTS 26

OVERVIEW

Here are a couple of Iso Ult ideas; we GARAGE ULT SETUP "A" ULT SETUP
want to keep Attack on their toes with
where is safe or not to go.

On Haven we think it's important

to use them more proactively than
reactively (like on retakes) as Iso will
be a key part of our retakes, and we'd
like to get early picks.

WHEN TO CALL THIS:

- We have Iso Ult!

Omen listens for noise, Iso Ults off noise. Iso can ult if Yoru/Sova see enemies.
If Attack goes A, use it for flood. If nothing, get ready to ult for C (or B!)
If Attack goes B, use it for a pick.

SOVA ULT 27

OVERVIEW

Sova is in a great position in A Link

when he has Ult as he can ult any
early A lines, ult across B, and across
Garage.

Much like Iso Ult, being proactive

about trying to ult rather than reacting
on a retake is a great plan on Haven.

WHEN TO CALL THIS:

- Sova has Ult

- Ult on trip breaking
