BBL

✅ Nuke strength: 59% winrate over 22 maps is a strong tactical pick

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

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

❌ Practically never plays Dust2 (95% banned), reducing veto flexibility

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

EYEBALLERS

✅ Anubis strength: 67% winrate over 6 maps is a strong tactical pick

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

❌ Only 33% winrate on Mirage over 6 maps — exploitable in the veto

❌ Heavy Nuke ban usage (55% bans) limits their map bargaining

❌ Form slump: 10 losses in last 17 points to recent inconsistency
