How the model gets there
One number from the signals below. Each row shows which side it pulls toward and how hard; the weights are learned from every match in our history (team strength and roster rating do most of the work), and the blend is shrunk toward the betting market based on how much data backs it, so a thin sample can never read as a lock.

Bookmakers imply 58% for BETBOOM (1.58 / 2.2); we land 6 points lower at 52%: that gap is where we think the value is. This read is 97% our own signal (159 maps of BETBOOM, 154 of BIG). Head-to-head they've met 1 time: BIG leads 1–0.
Bottom line: BETBOOM to beat BIG, barely: a coin flip with a lean. Everything below is the data behind that call.
A hypothetical veto for this matchup, projected from how each team has picked and banned before (Bo3, BETBOOM vetoes first). It's a guide to the likely map pool and each side's win% on those maps, not a guarantee: teams adapt to the opponent and the event.
Neither side's habitual bans cleanly remove the other's best maps, so the veto could realistically go several ways.
Each team's usual first ban: BETBOOM Inferno · BIG Nuke.

Three ways the map pool could fall: each side's best-case Bo3 and the most likely draw. Pick a card to load its series odds and the map-by-map head-to-head underneath.

BIG wins more pistol rounds: 51% vs 45%. Winning a pistol usually wins you the next few rounds too, so this is a small head start.
Win the pistol → both win the next round about the same (82% vs 81%). Lose the pistol → both fight back about the same (19% vs 17%).
