Slowbro Meta

Slowbro has become a common pick in Day 5 of the tournament, being picked almost half of the games across all regions. It's played as a team's tank and/or semi-support. Teams usually learn Scald and Amnesia as its moveset, which is a good balance of offense and defense.

Attacker Meta

Attackers have overthrown All-Rounders as core picks in Day 5. Teams are utilizing them more and playing them as primary damage dealers. While fragile, they do have a range advantage compared to other roles, allowing them to deal damge safely from the backlines.
