Path · Dyer

Volume. Dyer wins ugly minutes at range, clutter the center, and never give Reed a clean reset.

Path · Reed

Reed has to wrestle early, chain the second shot, and make Dyer defend the neck instead of throwing. It is the only reliable flip if the pocket goes cold.

This is a firm lean, not a lock. The upset script is Reed attacking ground game with durability.
