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, Ninjas in Pyjamas 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.

M80 habitually bans Nuke, Ninjas in Pyjamas's strongest maps (Nuke all ≥60%). That's a standing habit (Nuke 59/63), not an opponent read, so expect Ninjas in Pyjamas to fight the veto for Nuke.
