Attack Side Breakdown

Breach holds a meaningful attack-side advantage in the Clove vs Breach matchup, winning 48.8% of offensive rounds compared to 44.9% for Clove. This 3.9 percentage point gap translates to real tactical implications that both sides should account for in their attack-side strategies.

Our analysis of 14 matches reveals Breach's kit enables more effective site executions across multiple dimensions. Whether through superior entry tools, better post-plant utility, or stronger mid-round adaptability, Breach consistently converts attack rounds at a higher rate. Clove teams need to acknowledge this disadvantage and adjust accordingly — consider running more coordinated executes, prioritizing trades over individual plays, and using utility to create advantages before committing to site takes.

Entry fragging dynamics shift noticeably in Breach's favor in this matchup. When Breach takes the first duel on a site execute, they convert at a meaningfully higher rate than Clove. For Clove players, this means being more selective about entry timings — wait for utility to clear angles, ensure a teammate is positioned to trade, or look for off-angle entries that negate Breach's advantages. Breach can confidently take entries knowing the data supports aggressive play.

Post-plant is where Breach's advantage becomes most pronounced. The 3.9% attack-side gap suggests Breach excels at converting spike plants into round wins through superior defuse denial or retake resistance. Clove should stack post-plants with multiple players when possible, communicate molly and utility timings precisely, and avoid isolated post-plant positions where Breach's kit advantages become decisive. For Breach, recognize your post-plant strength and play confidently for spike after successful takes.

Defense Side Breakdown

Breach demonstrates notably stronger defensive performance against Clove, holding 55.1% of rounds versus 51.2%. This 3.9 point advantage represents meaningful tactical superiority that should influence how both agents approach CT-side play in this matchup.

Site anchor assignments should account for Breach's defensive advantage. Breach can confidently solo anchor sites, knowing their kit enables effective stalling and information gathering. Clove should avoid solo anchor positions against Breach — instead, pair with a teammate who can provide support utility, or play positions that allow quick rotates to avoid extended 1v1 holds. When attackers target Clove's site with Breach on the execute, expect faster site falls.

Retake scenarios meaningfully favor Breach in this matchup. Our 14 match analysis shows Breach converts retakes at a significantly higher rate, whether through better clearing utility, superior positioning, or stronger clutch mechanics. Clove should never attempt solo retakes against Breach — always wait for teammates, coordinate utility, and take the retake together. Breach can confidently take 1vX retakes that Clove should avoid.

Economy rounds highlight Breach's defensive advantages. Clove should prioritize full saves over force buys when facing Breach, as the defensive utility gap compounds on limited economy. Breach can play more aggressively on eco rounds, pushing for information or early picks knowing their kit provides advantages even without full utility. On full buy rounds, Clove should ensure teammate utility covers their defensive gaps.

Overall Side Analysis

Breach holds clear advantages on both attack (48.8%) and defense (55.1%), establishing themselves as the superior choice in the Clove vs Breach matchup regardless of map side. This consistency across both halves means Breach doesn't need to play for specific sides or rely on winning a particular half to succeed.

Breach's advantage holds across all map types and team compositions. Whether on attack-sided, defense-sided, or balanced maps, Breach performs better. Clove teams should consider compositions that can cover their weaknesses — pair Clove with strong fragging agents who can carry during their difficult matchup encounters, and ensure utility supports Clove's positioning.

For ranked climbing specifically, Breach is the objectively better pick in this matchup. If you're equally comfortable on both agents and frequently face this matchup, practicing Breach provides a measurable ranked advantage. Clove players should focus on team play, utility value, and avoiding direct Breach confrontations rather than trying to outfrag them.

The verdict is clear: Breach wins this matchup on both sides of the map. The combined 7.7 percentage point advantage across attack and defense represents a meaningful statistical edge. Clove isn't unplayable, but faces an uphill battle requiring stronger team support and more disciplined play to compete.
