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 42% for Bebop (2.18 / 1.59); we land 3 points lower at 39%: that gap is where we think the value is. This read is 66% our own signal (231 maps of Bebop, 7 of WBT Academy; thin sample, treat it as a lean, not a lock).
Bottom line: WBT Academy to beat Bebop, but it's closer than it looks. 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, Bebop 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: Bebop Overpass · WBT Academy Inferno.
