English term or phrase: Watch connector
Hello colleagues,

This is an episode of a series about a group of gamers. They are playing a video game online and one says "Go to B. I need backup".
The other replies, "No, don't go to B, they'll take the A. And watch connector".

What may "watch connector" mean in this context? Then there's an interruption and they don't speak anymore, so I'm afraid that's all the context I have. I see on the screen a character from the video game going through different hallways of a house and shooting other characters.

Please let me know if you have any idea what this means. Thanks a lot!

Explanation:
This is jargon usually used in competitive shooters, like Counter Strike or Overwatch. "Connector" refers to a part of the map, usually a hallway or narrow path that connects to important points, in this case A and B, which I assume are bomb sites. So the player is telling his partner or his whole team to keep an eye on that area in case the enemies take that path.

Usually the players either don't translate or keep area names as close as possible to the original, so I believe it's called "conector". You can see it in the references, in the maps Mirage or Cobblestone.
