For Raze 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 Gekko's advantages. Gekko can confidently take entries knowing the data supports aggressive play.
Post-plant is where Gekko's advantage becomes most pronounced. The 5.1% attack-side gap suggests Gekko excels at converting spike plants into round wins through superior defuse denial or retake resistance.

For Gekko, recognize your post-plant strength and play confidently for spike after successful takes.

Site anchor assignments should account for Gekko's defensive advantage. Gekko can confidently solo anchor sites, knowing their kit enables effective stalling and information gathering. Raze should avoid solo anchor positions against Gekko — 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 Raze's site with Gekko on the execute, expect faster site falls.
Retake scenarios meaningfully favor Gekko in this matchup. Our 3 match analysis shows Gekko converts retakes at a significantly higher rate, whether through better clearing utility, superior positioning, or stronger clutch mechanics. Raze should never attempt solo retakes against Gekko — always wait for teammates, coordinate utility, and take the retake together. Gekko can confidently take 1vX retakes that Raze should avoid.
Economy rounds highlight Gekko's defensive advantages. Raze should prioritize full saves over force buys when facing Gekko, as the defensive utility gap compounds on limited economy. Gekko 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, Raze should ensure teammate utility covers their defensive gaps.

The 10.3 combined percentage point disadvantage across both sides is too large to overcome through individual skill improvement. If Gekko is meta in your rank bracket, strongly consider adding them to your agent pool or playing agents that have more neutral matchups.
