Local Restaurants Strategy & Positioning
Positioning is everything on Local Restaurants. Early game, take map control of the central area and key chokes without overextending into enemy cover. Fight when you have a cover or numbers advantage, and retreat to reset when your Super or a teammate is down. Use the map's walls and bushes to bait enemy abilities, then punish the cooldown. In Gem Grab, track the objective timer and rotate proactively rather than reacting. Avoid greedy pushes that leave your lane open — on Local Restaurants, disciplined spacing wins more games than raw aggression.
Why These Picks Work on Local Restaurants
Local Restaurants funnels both teams toward a single central mine, so the gem carrier is constantly exposed unless the team owns the lanes feeding mid. Belle, Sandy, Byron excel here because they can lock down those approach lanes and the bush lines around the spawn, letting Belle contest the center without overcommitting. The cover layout lets them poke safely, build Super for zoning, and peel for whoever is holding the count. Hold the lanes, protect the carrier, and the 10-gem countdown becomes a defensive problem the enemy can rarely solve on this map.
