The strategy I use to win WSG is very simple. Control the middle! Controlling the middle allows many important aspects of this match to work flawlessly. Controlling the middle allows cover for your teammates to return the flag, it also halts the enemy from trying to return your flag.
When I play WSG I stand directly in front of the tunnel entrance. This position is clearly the most versatile. You can clearly see in coming attacks. You can flee to your graveyard if you are in need of assistance and you can retreat down your tunnel to safety.
The alliance holding spot is shown with me standing outside looking in. If you look at the picture you will notice a little nook that you can step into, you are actually very well hidden, and when you show up on the map you appear to be on the roof.
The key to a successful WSG match is a relentless assault. Lets set up a scenario..
Both flags have been taken. You know where the EFC is and you have the EF in your base ready for a cap. You and your team needs to coordinate an attack. One that will push the EFC out into the open, or drop dead. Ideally you are going to want your attack team to stop any in coming attacks on you on their way. They might have to stop the enemy multiple times, but if your entire team suddenly decides to go offense, there is no one there to protect you. So it is a good idea to take out any enemy offense.
Be aware, and ready for a cap. Communicate with your team. If you are attempting to recover your flag, talk to your FC and let him know to get ready to cap.
