On paper this is lopsided: magic sit 25 places above EYEBALLERS 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.
magic come in ranked #18 in the world, EYEBALLERS #43.
✅ Cache strength: 86% winrate over 7 maps is a strong tactical pick
✅ Reliably steers the veto to Ancient (89% pick rate)
❌ Only 25% winrate on Dust2 over 8 maps — exploitable in the veto
❌ Practically never plays Nuke (95% banned), reducing veto flexibility
✅ Ancient strength: 60% winrate over 10 maps is a strong tactical pick
❌ Only 0% winrate on Cache over 5 maps — exploitable in the veto
❌ Heavy Nuke ban usage (58% bans) limits their map bargaining
