WHAT THE NUMBERS SAY

Standard Geo wins 60% of games and posts the highest 15-minute metal production of any sampled role, backing a strong T2 push.

+ Metal produced reaches 32965 by 15:00, best of all sampled builds.
+ Zero own metal lost by 5:00 shows a very safe early phase.

− Enemy metal destroyed only 180 by 10:00, impact arrives late.
