Single map peak teams?

#1

Effluxi

After KC looking like one of the best on Icebox we've seen (and subsequently trolling on Fracture), it got me wondering about teams with particularly stand-out single maps that aren't necessarily good across the board. Any particular examples that spring to mind?

For teams that were not world class but still had maps they could count on winning most of the time:
2024 FPX's Icebox and lotus were top tier despite having poor macro and micro on the other maps
2024 TE had an insane ascent (best itw oat) with a pretty good bind
2023 BBL incredible ascent (only beaten by 2024 TE as best ascent)

from what I remember mostly on the chinese teams have very very good 1-2 maps with other maps being bad

oh you could count 100T bind but 100T were pretty good team in that little run

2024 sen was good across the board, but their split was different
2023 eg fracture
2023 bbl ascent
2022 drx haven (not dominant but the amount of 3-9 comebacks on that map were insane)
honorable mention 2022 drx ascent with the triple initiator comp

100t bind last year, it's the main reason they were good during split 1

u are absolutely braindead, "couple week stretch where they looked dominant" gang almost every week until quaterfinals of shanghi, if you didnt ban 100t bind, everyone would say ur trolling and 100T 1-0 before the game even started, barely any of their bind games were even competitve, they shit on everyone

100T came top 3 in shanghai, hard to call them mediocre on the other maps
