Our call publishes before kickoff. Free on csedge.io — premium members get every call up front.

9z

✅ Reliably steers the veto to Dust2 (58% pick rate)

✅ Head-to-head edge: 86% versus TYLOO historically gives veto and psychological advantage

❌ Only 20% winrate on Inferno over 5 maps — exploitable in the veto

❌ Heavy Anubis ban usage (89% bans) limits their map bargaining

❌ Form slump: 13 losses in last 18 points to recent inconsistency

TYLOO

✅ Mirage strength: 60% winrate over 10 maps is a strong tactical pick

✅ Reliably steers the veto to Mirage (78% pick rate)

❌ Practically never plays Dust2 (100% banned), reducing veto flexibility

❌ Form slump: 9 losses in last 17 points to recent inconsistency

❌ Weak head-to-head (14% versus 9z) undermines matchup confidence
