Best brawlers for Please Remain Standing in Knockout

What the data says about Please Remain Standing

Please Remain Standing is one of the Knockout maps with the most recorded battles in our sample: 365 high-level games over the last 14 days, with 59 different brawlers seen on it. This page ranks those brawlers by their real win rate on this specific map, not by their average performance across the game, which is the figure that usually leads to bad picks.

The 365 battles in the 14-day window spread that sample across 59 brawlers, so the top of the ranking is backed by dozens of games each rather than by a handful of isolated cases. Every row shows its own count so you can judge how reliable the figure is without leaving the page.

The best picks on this map

The best brawler on Please Remain Standing is STARR NOVA, with a 82.7% win rate across 31 battles recorded on this map. It is the first option to consider when this rotation comes around, and also the pick most worth banning or countering if the enemy team gets there first.

The figure for STARR NOVA needs some nuance: although it leads this map, across Knockout as a whole it performs even better, at 86.4%, so Please Remain Standing costs it 3.7 points against its own average. It tops the ranking because the map punishes everyone else more than it punishes them, not because this is its best ground.

The second option is Cosmo, with 81.7% across 99 battles, 1 points behind the leader. When the distance between the first and second pick is that short, the choice depends more on the enemy composition and on the rest of your team than on the map itself.

GENE closes the podium at 78%. Having three clear options instead of just one makes Please Remain Standing a comfortable map to draft on: if the first one gets banned, you are not left without a plan.

The most picked brawler on Please Remain Standing is not necessarily the best: it is Cosmo, present in 99 battles, 27.1% of every game recorded on the map. The distance between what is most picked and what actually works is usually where the edge is, because most players repeat a pick out of habit rather than out of data.

Please Remain Standing is a polarised map: there are 12.7 percentage points between the best and the worst brawler in the ranking. On a map like this the draft matters more than mechanics, and bringing a pick from the bottom of the table is giving away an advantage before the game starts.

How Knockout is played

In Knockout there is no respawn: every death is final within the round, so the value of information and of the first shot goes through the roof. Brawlers with long range and with tools to reveal positions dominate, and risking a badly judged push costs the whole round. Read the Please Remain Standing order with that caution in mind.

Please Remain Standing rotates in and out of the official Knockout rotation every few days. This page does not depend on it being active right now: the ranking is computed over recent history, so it remains the best reference available the day the map shows up again.

Every percentage comes from real high-level battles sampled continuously, aggregated over a rolling 14-day window and adjusted with Bayesian smoothing. That adjustment avoids the classic false positive: a brawler with three games and three wins does not show up at 100%, but close to the average, until it builds up the sample to back it.
