Attack Side Breakdown
Viper demonstrates a modest attack-side advantage over Brimstone in this matchup, converting 48.6% of attacking rounds versus 47.4%. While this 1.2 point edge gives Viper slightly better site-taking capability, the gap remains narrow enough that skilled Brimstone players can overcome it through superior execution and team play.
The data from 18 competitive games suggests Viper's kit provides marginally better tools for attack-side scenarios. This could manifest as slightly more effective entry utility, better post-plant stalling, or superior mid-round adaptability. However, Brimstone teams shouldn't dramatically alter their attacking approach — instead, focus on tightening execute timing, coordinating utility chains more precisely, and ensuring trades are happening when entries fail. Small improvements in team coordination can easily overcome a 1.2% gap.
When taking entry duels, Viper holds a slight statistical advantage but nothing that should change fundamental approach. Brimstone players should still take confident entries when they have good information or utility support. The key adjustment is ensuring you're not taking unnecessary 50-50 duels — look for angles where you have an advantage through utility, information, or teammate support. Viper can play slightly more aggressively on entries, knowing the statistics marginally favor them.

In post-plant situations, Viper's slight advantage likely stems from better utility for denying defuses or controlling retake angles. Brimstone should compensate by being more deliberate about post-plant positioning — take spots that offer escape routes or trade potential rather than hero plays. Stack post-plants with teammates when possible, and use utility efficiently to maximize delay time. The 1.2 point gap can be neutralized through smart post-plant fundamentals.
Defense Side Breakdown
Viper shows slightly better defensive capabilities than Brimstone, winning 52.6% of defense rounds compared to 51.4%. This 1.2 percentage point edge suggests Viper's kit provides marginally better tools for CT-side play, though the gap remains small enough for skilled Brimstone players to overcome.
When deciding site assignments, Viper can slightly more confidently take solo anchor roles. Their 1.2% defensive advantage likely stems from better stalling utility, superior information gathering, or more effective site-holding positions. Brimstone should consider pairing with a teammate on their site rather than solo anchoring, or taking positions that allow early rotates rather than committing to extended holds. The advantage is small but worth considering in close games.
Viper demonstrates marginally better retake capability in this matchup. Whether through superior clearing utility, better post-plant positioning, or stronger clutch mechanics, Viper converts retakes at a slightly higher rate. Brimstone should focus on retaking with numbers — don't take hero 1v1 retakes against Viper when you can wait for teammates. Viper can be slightly more confident in isolated retake situations, knowing the statistics marginally favor them.
On eco and force buy rounds, the 1.2% gap becomes more pronounced as utility advantages compound. Brimstone should be more conservative with eco aggression against Viper and prioritize saving for full buys where team utility can compensate for individual disadvantages. Viper can play slightly more aggressively on force buys, knowing their defensive kit provides small but meaningful advantages even with limited economy.
Overall Side Analysis
Viper maintains a consistent but slim advantage across both sides of the map in this matchup, with 48.6% attack win rate and 52.6% defense win rate. While Viper is statistically favored regardless of map side, the margins are close enough that Brimstone remains highly competitive and can win games through strong individual performance.
Map choice and team composition have minimal impact on this specific matchup outcome. Both agents perform similarly across attack-sided, defense-sided, and balanced maps. Pick based on personal comfort, team needs, and broader composition considerations rather than Viper vs Brimstone specific factors. The slight Viper advantage doesn't change based on external factors.
For ranked climbing, don't overthink this matchup. The statistical differences are small enough that individual skill, team coordination, and game sense remain the primary factors determining outcomes. Focus on improving your fundamentals on either agent rather than trying to gain edges through matchup knowledge. Both Viper and Brimstone are viable ranked picks with minimal matchup disadvantage.
