		+	[[Ticket bleed]] changes over time. It starts out slow and speeds up. This means that ticket bleed can mostly be ignored in the early game and the most important thing is '''Combat'''. Staying close to one's team and winning [[team fights]] gives the team the economic advantage to be successful in the mid and late game.

	The start of a Terrain Control game is the most important. This is because of the c-bill system, and the ticket system. If you gain an early monetary advantage, you can use that advantage to leverage more c-bills by buying better assets, which can create a snowball effect. If you create an early lead in tickets, you can then play defensively for the rest of the game. This puts pressure on the enemy by forcing them to attack defended bases.

-The end game is reached when the ticket count is roughly equal, and both sides have large bank accounts and ranks to fund expensive assets.  The end game is outside the scope of this guide, because most pub games are decided in the opening or the middle game.  End games are generally reached when both teams are using a high level of strategic play throughout the match, or are making relatively equal strategic blunders.

−	The neutral ~~bases~~ are what each team competes over in the Terrain Control game mode. Not all neutral bases are created equal.
