Chase Rules

- Rotate before prolonged chip pressure turns into multi-down risk.
- Commit to short, efficient chases then reset safely.
- Do not over-heal at bad timings; heal with purpose and cover.
- Avoid prolonged grouped play while everyone is injured.
- Save strongest resources for snowball denial moments.
- If pressure spikes, disengage and reset macro before recontesting.
- Do not stack hook trades while team is low-state.
- Protect death-hook players from forced attrition loops.
Macro Rules
- Choose gen strategy by health economy: split when injured, stack only when stable.
- Trade hooks only if team can still maintain objective tempo.
- Prevent snowball by resetting one player at a time, not all four simultaneously.
