Each row is one of this map’s most-played picks that has met that class the most on all maps counted; one brawler is named once. The row prints the decided games it was counted in, not a rate: these class-vs counts are pooled across every map, so they cannot be split into a single map’s win rate. The counted per-map rates, side-balanced with a Wilson margin, are on the maps index.

Lane assignments

Hold the zone on the clock, not the kill feed: stepping out of the circle is losing it.

  • Left laneEmz — zone: deny the bush and the choke
  • MidTick — siege: force them out of cover from behind
  • Right laneEdgar — dive: wait for the cooldown, then take the back line

First 20 seconds plan

zone clockrotation coverhold the circle
  1. 0–5sContest the nearest zone with two players.
  2. 5–10sThe third player covers the rotation between zones.
  3. 10–15sTrade zone control for a wipe only when the timer favours you.
  4. 15–20sReset on the zone, never on the respawn side.

Comeback: Group on one zone and hold it to the end: splitting two zones while behind loses both.

Picks and decided games per brawlerGamGem calculation from BS_MATCH_MAPS + BS_MATCH_SHARE—Decided games summed per brawler over this map’s event ids, trophy and Ranked together; mirrors out. The side-balanced win rate for the map’s top three picks is printed on the maps index; a pick share is not computed here.
Most-faced opponent per pickGamGem calculation from BS_MATCH_VS—The opposing brawler with the most decided games against it, all maps together; the row prints that game count, not a this-map win rate, because the counts are pooled across maps.
Counted triosGamGem calculation from BS_MATCH_COMPS—Three-brawler teams with decided games on this map, most-counted first; the rows carry counts and composition, and no rate is computed from them.
Rotation history and weekly bucketsGamGem calculation from BS_MATCHX_ROTATION + BS_MATCHX_SAMPLE—First and last day the cache saw each event id, days seen, and battles per Monday-start week.
Ranked pool per seasonGamGem calculation from BS_MATCHX_RANKED_POOL—Battles counted per Round season and event id; a row seen only in the season’s first six hours is marked as an edge.
