Optimal ban targets for Emerald Plains ranked play. Attack bans neutralize the most dangerous attacker operators against this map; defense bans neutralize the most oppressive defender setups.
Emerald Plains has heavy reinforcement on Admin and Gallery walls — without Thatcher, attackers can't clear Bandit and Kaid for hard breach.
Vertical from above CEO and Meeting is the standard 2F exec. Banning Buck removes the cleanest vertical pressure tool.
Black Mirrors on Admin/Library and Bar/Lounge walls give defenders untouchable intel — extremely hard to dislodge in tight Emerald sightlines.
Evil Eyes covering Dining and Gallery plant spots stall executes by forcing utility commitments before plant.
Ban order is half the round. The other half is execute, anchor, and rotation reads.
