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, Just Players 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.

Spirit Academy habitually bans Anubis, Just Players's strongest maps (Mirage, Ancient, Anubis all ≥60%). That's a standing habit (Anubis 12/23), not an opponent read, so expect Just Players to fight the veto for Mirage.
