🔴 Team Breakdown — FUT

FUT have become one of the most explosive teams in the event thanks to their aggressive style and confident individual players.

Strengths

• High-tempo T sides
• Strong individual aim duels
• Confidence after recent wins

Weaknesses

• Occasionally chaotic mid-round decisions

Strengths

• Strong mid-round calling
• Excellent utility usage
• Experience in high-pressure matches

Weaknesses
