Alliance

✅ Inferno strength: 67% winrate over 9 maps is a strong tactical pick

✅ Reliably steers the veto to Inferno (100% pick rate)

✅ Head-to-head edge: 67% versus 3DMAX historically gives veto and psychological advantage

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

3DMAX

✅ Dust2 strength: 67% winrate over 12 maps is a strong tactical pick

✅ Reliably steers the veto to Cache (61% pick rate)

❌ Only 33% winrate on Nuke over 12 maps — exploitable in the veto

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

❌ Weak head-to-head (33% versus Alliance) undermines matchup confidence
