Entry Fragging and First Blood Importance

Entry fraggers are the first players to engage enemies and gather information. Strong entry fraggers secure opening kills, denying defenders initial advantage. First blood (first elimination) often determines round outcome—team with first blood wins roughly 65-70% of rounds. Entry fraggers are critical to round success.

Entry fragger qualities: mechanical skill, courage (willingness to take first duel despite uncertainty), positioning knowledge. Entry fraggers must trade quickly if they die—ensuring teammates get trades and maintain numerical advantage. Entry fragging is high-risk, high-reward role requiring specific skillset.

Entry fragging setup involves team coordination: teammates play for trades, utility supports entry push, team awaits info from entry. After entry gathers info (enemy positions, ability locations), team executes full strategy. Entry fragger opens doors; team closes them.

Not all players are entry fraggers. Some players are support (playing second), others are anchors (defensive positions). A good team has player role definition: each player knows if they're entry or support. Roles vary by round and execution but general patterns establish consistency.
