Rondo: The New Battleground
Rondo replaces Sahnok in the competitive map pool and introduces a host of tactical variables never before tested by top Indian teams. It is the largest map in the competitive lineup (an 8×8 km scale), blending traditional Asian aesthetics with modern urban high-rises and industrial areas.
Key Rondo Data:
- Size: 8×8 km (Largest competitive map).
- Terrain: Features a unique blend of urban areas (Jadena City, NEOX Factory) and natural landscapes (dense bamboo forests, waterfalls, high cliffs).
- New Mechanics: Teams must adapt to never-before-seen features like escalators for fast vertical movement and the newly introduced JS9 SMG (perfect for Rondo’s tight, ambush-heavy urban zones).
The move to Rondo is a direct challenge to the IGLs, testing who can adapt quickest to new rotations, drop conflicts, and late-game verticality.
