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, BASEMENT BOYS 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.

WBT Academy habitually bans Cache, BASEMENT BOYS's strongest maps (Cache all ≥60%). That's a standing habit (Cache 3/5), not an opponent read, so expect BASEMENT BOYS to fight the veto for Nuke.
