Nova Esports

Form

Strong upward trajectory; evolved from early group stage losses to a Grand Final appearance in Stage 1.

Veto Strategy

• ▸BAN: Ascent (0%) and Breeze (0%).
• ▸PICK: Lotus (75%).
• ▸DECIDER: Haven (20%).

Roster Read

• ▸CARRY: swagzor (Neon). ACS 250.1, significantly outperforming the role p50 (215) and approaching the p75 (258).
• ▸WEAK LINK: GREEN. Massive efficiency gap with an ACS of 148.7 against the role p50 of 182 and a +/- of -4.4.
• ▸IGL/Anchor: Ezeir and qiutiaN handle the Controller/Initiator core.

Tactical Fingerprint

Pick-driven style with an extremely low plant rate (25%), prioritizing early eliminations over site execution. They are incapable of closing out matches when leading the first half (0% closeout rate) and struggle in overtime (0/1).

Action Items

• ▸Target GREEN: Direct utility and aggressive pushes toward GREEN to exploit the lowest ACS and negative impact on the roster.
• ▸Deny Lotus: This is their only high-confidence map (75%). Force them onto Haven or Split.
• ▸Execute Hard: Their 25% plant rate indicates a struggle to convert picks into plants; play tight, hold the site, and force them into uncomfortable executes.
• ▸Press the Second Half: If trailing at the half, maintain aggression. Their 0% closeout rate proves they collapse under pressure when leading.
