Hey everyone!
BedWars has a lot of terms that players throw around in-game chat or in Discord calls. If you’re newer, it can be confusing to understand what people mean when they say certain terms. These are ones that more advanced players will expect you to already know when partied up with them.
Hopefully, there will be no more queuing without a full party, and having a teammate who doesn't understand any comms after this.
If you think I missed any important terms, feel free to reply or message me, and I’ll add them.
Example: “Rush your neighbor fast.”
Example: “Neighbor rushing.”
Example: “First rush with TNT.”
Example: “8 iron rush him before he defends.”
Example: “12 iron rush this game.”
Example: “Diamond rush then pressure.”
Example: “He mid rushed, watch bed.”
Example: “Split rush, I’ll go mid, you go neighbor.”
Example: “He has a defense already.”
Example: “They have a layered bed.”
Example: “It’s just wool.”
Example: “He has wood.”
Example: “Can you do butterfly def?”
Example: “Blue has full obi”
Example: “Trade beds then play safe.”
Example: “Red is open.”
Example: “He’s comboing me.”
Example: “He got the first hit.”
Example: “Your spacing is bad.”
Example: “Reset the fight.”
Example: “Regen then push.”
Example: “I cleaned him.”
Example: “Stall him, I’m getting diamonds.”
Example: “Void, he’s on bed.”
Example: “Green has mid control.”
Example: “Don’t edge fight him.”
Example: “He has bridge control.”
Example: “Cut him off at diamonds.”
