B8

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

✅ Reliably steers the veto to Mirage (71% pick rate)

✅ Strong recent form: 17 wins in last 25 (62%) shows momentum

❌ Heavy Anubis ban usage (88% bans) limits their map bargaining

FaZe

✅ Mirage strength: 78% winrate over 9 maps is a strong tactical pick

✅ Strong recent form: 12 wins in last 21 (61%) shows momentum

❌ Only 30% winrate on Dust2 over 10 maps — exploitable in the veto

❌ Practically never plays Inferno (90% banned), reducing veto flexibility
