About this map
Here's the current picture on Opening Move, a Knockout map: 592,560 recorded battles covering 107 brawlers. If you want the safest draft, Cosmo is winning 70.7% of its recorded games, ahead of Wendy at 67.8%. Edgar shows up more than anyone else on this map at 7.4%, winning 36.5% of the time. Knockout maps have no respawns, so bush placement and cover density matter more here than in almost any other mode, a bad first engagement can lose the round outright.
Cosmo stands out here, winning 14.5 percentage points more than the average brawler tracked on this map. The most-used pick here isn't the strongest one, Cosmo still edges it out. 8-Bit is one to avoid, sitting at just 31.9% on this map. That said, Opening Move has since rotated out, so this reflects its most recent stretch in rotation rather than live play.
Opening Move FAQ
Who is the best brawler on Opening Move?
Cosmo has the highest win rate on Opening Move at 70.7%. Wendy (67.8%) and Pearl (65.6%) are the next strongest picks.
What is the most used brawler on Opening Move?
Edgar is the most-used brawler on Opening Move, appearing in 7.4% of tracked games with a 36.5% win rate. Popularity and win rate don't always line up, so it's worth checking the full rankings table before assuming the most common pick is the best one.
What are the worst picks on Opening Move?
8-Bit, Shelly and El Primo have the weakest combination of win rate and use rate on Opening Move, with 8-Bit sitting at 31.9%. These aren't unplayable, but they're fighting the map's layout rather than working with it.
What is the best team comp for Opening Move?
Piper, Gus and Mandy is the strongest recorded comp on Opening Move, winning 60% across 105 games together. A strong solo pick doesn't always mean it fits into the best team shape, so drafting around a known comp can beat drafting three good individual picks that don't synergize.
What game mode is Opening Move?
Opening Move is a Knockout map. It isn't currently in rotation; the stats above are from the last time it was live, and will keep updating the next time it comes back around. This page is built entirely from real recorded battles, never simulated or estimated numbers.
