Successful team based matches are dependent upon team members working together. 

“We must win this together” – Field Marshal Montgomery

Working together means understanding each others build orders, knowing who can attack or defend (dependent upon build order and time), agreeing on the points on the map to both attack and defend, and agreeing on the timing of attacks (better to attack together).  Without understanding these key points, it is much more difficult to win a team based game.

“Battles are won with information” – Admiral Mountbatten

In the larger maps, and with larger teams, of 3 or 4, knowing the location of the enemy is key to winning the game.  Due to the importance of knowing the enemy location, it is suggested that at least one player, especially in a 4v4 game, plays a General that has the Radar special.  The Radar special will display vulnerabilities in your opponents defensives as well as where they are mounting their next attack.

Team cooperation and knowing the enemy location are essential to winning a team based game.
