Form

Sharp decline; recent trend is -35.2pp with a 1-4 record over the last five matches.

Veto Strategy

• ▸BAN: Fracture (0% W%) or Haven (0% W%).
• ▸PICK: Breeze (50% W%)—strongest defensive side at 71%.
• ▸DECIDER: Bind (33% W%)—highly volatile with 64% ATK and 37% DEF.

Roster Read

• ▸CARRY: deLb (Omen). ACS 211.2 significantly outperforms the controller role baseline (p50=189).
• ▸WEAK LINK: Viva (Fade). ACS 163.3 is well below the initiator baseline (p50=182); lowest fragging output on the roster.
• ▸ANCHOR: Abo (Viper) handles the secondary controller/anchor role.

Tactical Fingerprint

Pure front-runners. They close 63% of games when leading the first half but have a poor 25% comeback rate. Offensively, they are pick-driven rather than plant-heavy, evidenced by a low 32% plant rate.

Action Items

• ▸Pressure the Initiator: Target Viva early in rounds to disrupt their utility chain and force deLb to overextend.
• ▸Win the First Half: Prioritize a lead in the first 12 rounds; their inability to recover from deficits (25% comeback rate) is a primary vulnerability.
• ▸Deny the Pick: Play disciplined, connected angles on defense to neutralize their pick-driven ATK style and low plant rate.
• ▸Exploit Bind Defense: If Bind is played, apply maximum pressure on their defensive setups (37% W%).
• ▸Aggressive Pistol/Bonus: Force engagements in R1 and R2 to exploit their mediocre 39% win rate in these critical early frames.
