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, Villainous 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.

Wanted Goons habitually bans Anubis, Villainous's strongest maps (Anubis all ≥60%). That's a standing habit (Anubis 16/32), not an opponent read, so expect Villainous to fight the veto for Anubis.
