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, GamerLegion 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.

Ninjas in Pyjamas habitually bans Inferno, GamerLegion's strongest maps (Inferno, Ancient, Cache all ≥60%). That's a standing habit (Inferno 45/64), not an opponent read, so expect GamerLegion to fight the veto for Inferno.
