On paper this is lopsided: FOKUS sit 44 places above SPARTA in the world ranking. Those gaps close more often than people expect, so here is what the numbers say once form, head-to-head and the map pool get a vote.

FOKUS come in ranked #45 in the world, SPARTA #89.

FOKUS

✅ Cache strength: 88% winrate over 8 maps is a strong tactical pick

❌ Only 40% winrate on Nuke over 10 maps — exploitable in the veto

❌ Heavy Anubis ban usage (58% bans) limits their map bargaining

SPARTA

✅ Dust2 strength: 71% winrate over 41 maps is a strong tactical pick

✅ Reliably steers the veto to Dust2 (83% pick rate)

❌ Heavy Anubis ban usage (79% bans) limits their map bargaining
