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 F5 (2.21 / 1.61); we land 5 points higher at 47%: that gap is where we think the value is. This read is 75% our own signal (80 maps of F5, 12 of Omen).
Bottom line: Omen to beat F5, barely: a coin flip with a lean. Everything below is the data behind that call.

F5 · avg 1.05 · star gap +0.26iStar gap: the best player rates 0.26 above the team average. A big gap means the team leans on one star; a small one means the firepower is spread out.

Projected veto
likely picks & bans
ihow this projection works
A hypothetical veto for this matchup, projected from how each team has picked and banned before (Bo3, F5 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.
Omen habitually bans Mirage, F5's strongest maps (Mirage all ≥60%). That's a standing habit (Mirage 3/6), not an opponent read, so expect F5 to fight the veto for Overpass.
Comebacks (won from 3+ down)i2/5 (40%)Comebacks (won from 3+ down)Of the 5 maps they won, 2 (40%) were won after trailing by 3+ rounds. So 40% of their wins were comebacks, not 40% of all games.vs OlympusAnubisfrom 9 downvs ZomblersInfernofrom 3 down
