As in our last article about the Shooting Stars tournament, we see that attackers only had the advantage on one map: Split. Bind again became the most defensive map.
Omen was the most picked agent in the tournament again. Absolutely all agents were picked, including Viper, who was taken by ANGEL in the final match against the Opportunists.
The most picked agents on each map based on the tournament results were as follows:
- Haven — Omen, Breach, Sova, Jett, Cypher
- Bind — Omen, Breach, Sova, Raze, Jett
- Split — Omen, Breach, Jett, Raze, Cypher
- Ascent — Omen, Jett, Sova, Killjoy, Breach
Similarly as in the Shooting Stars tournament, no team picked Sova on Split.
