The layout
The map is two long sides, one for each site, joined by the Attackers' spawn and by the teleporters. Each teleporter takes a player from near one site to near the other in a moment, but only in one direction, and it makes a loud sound when used.
What makes it different
The teleporters make fakes and fast rotations possible: a player can show at one site and appear on the other seconds later. Defenders listen for the teleporter sound to read what the Attackers are doing.
Bind in pro play
Without a mid, Bind is a map of direct site hits and mind games. Bind has left the pool before and returned in patch 13.08.
