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, Voca 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.
Villainous habitually bans Dust2, Voca's strongest maps (Ancient, Mirage, Dust2, Nuke all ≥60%). That's a standing habit (Dust2 11/15), not an opponent read, so expect Voca to fight the veto for Mirage.
