'''Sunshine''' is a community contributed map made by Phi. It is [[competitive]] focused, and was designed with [[6v6]] in mind. It features the standard 5CP layout with a mid, two seconds, and two lasts, with forward spawns for each point beyond mid owned. It is currently played in ESEA, ETF2L, and UGC. Contrary to what some believe, '''Sunshine''' is not directly inspired by any other 5CP, but does place the second point on a spire-like structure with two small chokes going to mid. [[Badlands]] and [[Process]] do this as well.

Sunshine was contributed to the Steam Workshop.
