Very nice site!

Game Modes

In 6v6, a few different map types are played.

Control Points

The most common is 5CP, or "5 Control Points", which requires a team to control all five control points in a map in order to win the round. Common 5CP maps include cp_granary, cp_badlands and cp_process.

King of the Hill

KOTH, or "King of the Hill", is a game mode where teams fight for control of one central control point in a race against the clock. The only widespread koth map currently used for 6v6 is koth_pro_viaduct.

Attack/Defense

A/D, or "Attack/Defense", are maps which use a stopwatch to time the attacking team in trying to capture all of the defending team's control points. The defending team then switches to the attacking team and tries to beat the opposing team's time. The only 2 common attack/defense maps are cp_gravelpit and cp_edifice.

Capture the Flag

CTF, or "Capture the Flag", are maps where a team has to capture the intel from the enemy base and take it to your own base to score a point. This gamemode is very rarely played in 6s and most leagues have dropped CTF maps of their map pool. One of the most famous 6v6 CTF maps is Turbine Pro.
