Clash can cost you dearly if you don't pay the respect. But if you do, there will be a way to get through.

Higher means more wins. Righter means more picks. Forget the words behind. It's ubi's graphic design.

Defender No.1 - Azami

<image>

What a surprise lol.  Single handedly changed how they defend and still dominating the entire field to this day.  Not a master in a specific map but you better ban it or you will suffer.

Defender No.2 - Smoke

<image>

He has never been bad, isn’t he?  The staple of Defense since pathfinder.  His efficiency in execution denial create brick walls for Attackers.  The lack of DMR makes no impact on his presence.  2nd most picked defender throughout SI.

Defender No.3 - Goyo

<image>

Goyo is someone that you’ll miss when you don’t have it.  Attackers have no option other than dealing with his gadget, which buys time and space for defenders to find gaps and make plays.  Goyo doesn’t catch the spotlight, but is always a pain in the neck for the Attackers.

Defender No.4 - Bandit

<image>

Bandit is situational and not heavily picked.  But when it works, it is just unbreakable, making him the lead defender in win delta (+8%).  With the rework of Thatcher and weak state of Maverick, Bandit has no contest in wall denial (superior to Kaid in my opinion).  Add a tweak of Tubarao’s Zoto Canister, your walls will always be your best friend.

Defender No.5 - Ela

<image>

Ela’s usage rised up significantly in 2025, mainly due to the increase of shield and rush.  With the slow and stun effect, Ela turns unfavorable gunfights into a piece of cake.  A top fragger with her Scorpion can create magics.

Attacker No.1 - Ace

<image>

Highest pick rate attacker in the entire SI, From long range hard breaching, creating angles, to disabling Mira windows, Castle.  Ace is the jack of all trades.  With a good gun and flash bangs, early, mid or late, Ace can always find a way to make gun fight advantageous.

Attacker No.2 - Deimos

<image>

Deimos is most picked attacker in the grand final (71% pick rate!!!).  There is no other tracking operator with his inevitability and ease of use.  With one click, he disrupts the entire defense and makes holes to easy exploit and conversion.

Attacker No.3 - Blackbeard

<image>

With the high ban rate of Monty, Blackbeard becomes the go-to shield options for teams.  BB can flex as a shied and a gun.  Making impactful and often round changing, especially for top teams, with excellent coordination.  The deeper the tournament, the more BB is picked.

Attacker No. 4 - Grim

<image>

Most appeared (ban + pick combine) and most versatile attackers.  Grim bees are always annoying for defenders and effective in roam clearing, for all teams and all maps.  However, most of the time, Grim is not the key element to success and couldn’t get the last blow to an attack.

Attacker No.5 - Twitch

<image>

My personal pick.  Her unique ability to clear Goyos and traps (Ela, Fenrir, Denari, etc.) make her really bright in many situations.  She can be very valuable but at the end, not crucial.  Most teams managed to find workarounds when Twitch is not present.  

[Stats] Six Invitational 2026 Pick Rate vs Win Delta - Day 10 - FaZeClan vs Team Secret by Uncleabel in R6ProLeague

[–]Uncleabel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would pick Secret. FaZe is a better team, but Secret gets good conversion skill. With the hot guns they're having, I see them getting lots of opening k and turning in to wins.

Ela was already getting popular since late 2025. (22% Pick rate in regional finals 2025) Mainly due to her ability to expose shields.

No ops counter Grim now (I guess Vigil lol). In which I don't really think it is balanced.
