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, Grêmio 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.

Keyd Stars habitually bans Inferno, Grêmio's strongest maps (Inferno all ≥60%). That's a standing habit (Inferno 68/91), not an opponent read, so expect Grêmio to fight the veto for Inferno.
