Ranking, form, head-to-head, map pool. Those four decide most CS2 series, and they are what we ran B8 vs M80 through.
✅ Dust2 strength: 70% winrate over 10 maps is a strong tactical pick
✅ Reliably steers the veto to Mirage (69% pick rate)
✅ Strong recent form: 16 wins in last 23 (77%) shows momentum
❌ Only 40% winrate on Mirage over 10 maps — exploitable in the veto
❌ Practically never plays Anubis (100% banned), reducing veto flexibility
✅ Cache strength: 83% winrate over 6 maps is a strong tactical pick
✅ Reliably steers the veto to Inferno (55% pick rate)
✅ Strong recent form: 10 wins in last 16 (67%) shows momentum
❌ Heavy Nuke ban usage (88% bans) limits their map bargaining
❌ Weak head-to-head (2% versus B8) undermines matchup confidence
