Imperial

✅ Nuke strength: 77% winrate over 13 maps is a strong tactical pick

✅ Reliably steers the veto to Mirage (61% pick rate)

✅ Strong recent form: 15 wins in last 21 (71%) shows momentum

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

BESTIA

✅ Mirage strength: 80% winrate over 5 maps is a strong tactical pick

✅ Reliably steers the veto to Dust2 (94% pick rate)

✅ Strong recent form: 14 wins in last 21 (68%) shows momentum

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

❌ Heavy Anubis ban usage (82% bans) limits their map bargaining

❌ Weak head-to-head (20% versus Imperial) undermines matchup confidence
