Yosai - A snowy japanese themed payload map with 5 control points

Yōsai is a single-stage Payload map with 5 control points. Yōsai means “fortress” in Japanese which is where the map takes place. Blu is tasked to push the payload through out multiple sections of the japanese stronghold to finally reach Red’s castle to deliver the final blow.

It’s a work in progress and I’ll try to gather some playtest and general feedback to improve it with future updates. Thank you for stopping by.
