About this map
Here's the current picture on Opening Move, a Knockout map: 758,843 recorded battles covering 32 brawlers. If you want the safest draft, Bolt is winning 76% of its recorded games, ahead of Jae-Yong at 74%. Piper shows up more than anyone else on this map at 5.6%, winning 59% 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.
Bolt stands out here, winning 11.2 percentage points more than the average brawler tracked on this map. The most-used pick here isn't the strongest one, Bolt still edges it out. One comp stands out: Mortis, Ruffs and Chester have taken 85% across 442 games together. Opening Move is in rotation right now, and the numbers above are still updating as more games are played.

What is the most used brawler on Opening Move?
Piper is the most-used brawler on Opening Move, appearing in 5.6% of tracked games with a 59% 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?
El Primo, Stu and Frank have the weakest combination of win rate and use rate on Opening Move, with El Primo sitting at 59%. 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?
Mortis, Ruffs and Chester is the strongest recorded comp on Opening Move, winning 85% across 442 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 actually synergize.
