Every new season reshuffles the competitive landscape. Here are the changes weighing most heavily on current team compositions.
A nerf that’s rewriting site strategies
The most-picked agent on the pro circuit had its core utility weakened, forcing teams to rework site executes that had been built around it for months.
Two new maps enter rotation
The two new maps added to the competitive pool favor very different playstyles: one rewards slow, information-heavy play, the other pushes fast, aggressive executes. Teams that adapt fastest get a head start in the opening weeks.
Expect this meta to keep shifting heading into the next LAN events, as pro teams converge on the strongest compositions.
