for me not so much. if you fight for mid on ct, t will just insta rotate and take any site for free. if you try to flank thru mid, you'll die from some lurker holding an off angle you can't clear since both choke are a full 180 degrees from each other. if you ignore mid you'll always get shot in the ass from a lurker when rotating or when retaking.
even though fighting for mid on split for example is difficult, at least holding site or retaking is easy af. on pearl u hope and pray they don't have a really good lurker who will just take over the game.
