FOKUS

✅ Cache strength: 87% winrate over 15 maps is a strong tactical pick

✅ Reliably steers the veto to Cache (48% pick rate)

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

❌ Heavy Anubis ban usage (59% bans) limits their map bargaining

❌ Weak head-to-head (33% versus ex-Zero Tenacity) undermines matchup confidence

ex-Zero Tenacity

✅ Cache strength: 77% winrate over 30 maps is a strong tactical pick

✅ Reliably steers the veto to Cache (64% pick rate)

✅ Strong recent form: 36 wins in last 54 (64%) shows momentum

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