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.

Projected veto
likely picks & bansihow this projection works
A hypothetical veto for this matchup, projected from how each team has picked and banned before (Bo3, SAW Youngsters 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.
REVENIX habitually bans Inferno, SAW Youngsters's strongest maps (Anubis, Inferno all ≥60%). That's a standing habit (Inferno 4/4), not an opponent read, so expect SAW Youngsters to fight the veto for Inferno.
