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, B8 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.

GamerLegion habitually bans Dust2, B8's strongest maps (Dust2, Ancient, Cache all ≥60%). That's a standing habit (Dust2 42/57), not an opponent read, so expect B8 to fight the veto for Mirage.
