Head-to-head
4-7 series · −5 map diff across the regional circuit. The archive goes back to 2021 for established organisations and to the org's first regional appearance for newer entries. The desk maintains the archive by hand and updates within an hour of any official result.
Current form
LLWLL — two wins in the last seven series, the consolidation phase has not settled. across the last five series. The desk treats form as a number, not a narrative, and the form section is updated within an hour of any official result. Strength of schedule is reported alongside the form line — a streak against top-eight opponents reads differently than the same streak against bottom-eight opponents.
Playstyle and the desk's read
What the analyst desk sees on the analyst monitor when Sable are playing.
Playstyle
Aggressive early rounds, low-variance defaults. The first-year IGL is finding the shape.
How the playbook is built
Sable are the eighth-place team in EU East and the team the desk reads as still finding the shape of the new playbook. The IGL is Olek 'Beacon' Nowak, a first-year caller who was promoted from within the org. The playbook is the coach's, but the calls are his, and the desk's note is that the consolidation phase has not settled — the team is still trading between two playbook shapes, aggressive early rounds and low-variance defaults, and the inconsistency is visible in the result line.
The signature map is Helix at 55% over 11 maps. The weak map is Refinery at 27% across 8 attempts, and the desk reads this as the structural gap. The analyst section notes that the team has not yet settled on a composition for Refinery and the veto pattern has been inconsistent — sometimes the team bans Refinery, sometimes they leave it in.
Form is two wins in the last seven series. The map differential sits at −5. Head-to-head in EU East goes Sable 4-3 Halcyon, 3-4 Onyx. The next series on the calendar is the EU East regional bracket, and the desk's note is that the consolidation phase needs to land in the next two weeks or the season ends without a signature result.
