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, BAKS 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.

Black Phoenix habitually bans Ancient, BAKS's strongest maps (Ancient, Cache all ≥60%). That's a standing habit (Ancient 44/48), not an opponent read, so expect BAKS to fight the veto for Cache.
