Whether through superior entry tools, better post-plant utility, or stronger mid-round adaptability, Deadlock consistently converts attack rounds at a higher rate. Skye 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 Deadlock's favor in this matchup. When Deadlock takes the first duel on a site execute, they convert at a meaningfully higher rate than Skye. For Skye 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 Deadlock's advantages. Deadlock can confidently take entries knowing the data supports aggressive play.
Post-plant is where Deadlock's advantage becomes most pronounced. The 4.2% attack-side gap suggests Deadlock excels at converting spike plants into round wins through superior defuse denial or retake resistance.

Site anchor assignments should account for Deadlock's defensive advantage. Deadlock can confidently solo anchor sites, knowing their kit enables effective stalling and information gathering. Skye should avoid solo anchor positions against Deadlock — 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 Skye's site with Deadlock on the execute, expect faster site falls.
Retake scenarios meaningfully favor Deadlock in this matchup. Our 15 match analysis shows Deadlock converts retakes at a significantly higher rate, whether through better clearing utility, superior positioning, or stronger clutch mechanics. Skye should never attempt solo retakes against Deadlock — always wait for teammates, coordinate utility, and take the retake together. Deadlock can confidently take 1vX retakes that Skye should avoid.
Economy rounds highlight Deadlock's defensive advantages. Skye should prioritize full saves over force buys when facing Deadlock, as the defensive utility gap compounds on limited economy. Deadlock 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, Skye should ensure teammate utility covers their defensive gaps.

Map selection and team composition cannot fix Skye's disadvantage in this matchup. Deadlock outperforms across all map types and team structures.

For ranked climbing, avoid playing Skye when you expect to face Deadlock frequently. The 8.5 combined percentage point disadvantage across both sides is too large to overcome through individual skill improvement. If Deadlock is meta in your rank bracket, strongly consider adding them to your agent pool or playing agents that have more neutral matchups.
Final verdict: Deadlock decisively wins the Skye vs Deadlock matchup. This isn't a skill check or a "play better" situation — Deadlock has systematic advantages that manifest across thousands of games.

Understanding how Initiator abilities interact with Sentinel counterplay is essential for maximizing your agent's potential. Skye's Initiator toolkit may excel at certain aspects while Deadlock's Sentinel kit counters others. The Deadlock advantage suggests their role's capabilities translate better to winning these cross-role encounters on average.
