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, ex-RUSTEC 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.

Azuolas habitually bans Anubis, ex-RUSTEC's strongest maps (Dust2, Anubis all ≥60%). That's a standing habit (Anubis 9/12), not an opponent read, so expect ex-RUSTEC to fight the veto for Dust2.
