Projected veto

likely picks & bans
Veto read
Iberian Soul habitually bans Dust2 & Anubis, two of Inner Circle's strongest maps (Dust2, Anubis all ≥60%). That's a standing habit (Dust2 3/3, Anubis 2/3), not an opponent read, so expect Inner Circle to fight the veto for Dust2.

It’s nearly a coin-flip. Inner Circle only lead because their Ancient is strong enough that nicking just one of the close maps wins the series.
