Spirit

✅ Reliably steers the veto to Dust2 (67% pick rate)

✅ Strong recent form: 19 wins in last 26 (65%) shows momentum

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

FURIA

✅ Inferno strength: 78% winrate over 9 maps is a strong tactical pick

✅ Strong recent form: 19 wins in last 31 (63%) shows momentum

❌ Heavy Anubis ban usage (72% bans) limits their map bargaining

❌ Weak head-to-head (32% versus Spirit) undermines matchup confidence
