the lack of battlefield awareness and how you pay for it...

Well, this isn't a real rant, but actually it isn't advice either. It's more like a small story about what could happen,
when you get distracted, don't pay attention to the flow of battle, or when you just think, nothing will happen to you.

Yesterday I dropped in Shenzhen and as always on this map, I opened it with my Gareth.

I swiftly cruised around a Natasha with Trebs and Molots and saw two stalkers race to the left beacon.
Of course I decided to grab the right one, already noticing that several reds are on their way. 
Since my Gary is fast, I took the beacon with ease and decided, I should buy some time for my teammates to follow.
My choice was obvious: Guerillia fighting. Corner shooting, retreating, ambushing. 
So I did just that. When you do corner shooting right, you barely get to see your target, but I identified it as Thunder Carnage.
I managed to chew away almost half of its health bar before I had to reposition my bot. For a very short time,
I lost track of the Carny. Just a second, maybe two and then it happened: I looked at the TV. Let it be five seconds, maybe seven.
Of course my Gareth was still moving. I took a quick look around and was almost convinced, nothing greatly changed.
Next I took a right turn around the next building and promptly saw my target. A Thunder Carnage. Shield in front, 
I engaged it again. Or so I thought. It took a second, till I noticed its full health bar. It took me another three seconds to die.
It was a total of three Thunder Carnies that shredded me to tiny pieces of junk metal. 

That's the story. As I said, it is not a rant. Actually I laughed after the match. But it isn't advice. What advice should that be?
Don't watch TV while playing? It is just a story about what could happen. And I hope, you got some stories to add.
