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, Drama 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.

mellren habitually bans Nuke, Drama's strongest maps (Mirage, Nuke all ≥60%). That's a standing habit (Nuke 14/19), not an opponent read, so expect Drama to fight the veto for Inferno.
