Projected veto
likely picks & bansihow this projection works
A hypothetical veto for this matchup, projected from how each team has picked and banned before (Bo3, Rooster 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.
LFO 8 habitually bans Mirage, Rooster's strongest maps (Overpass, Anubis, Mirage, Cache all ≥60%). That's a standing habit (Mirage 11/13), not an opponent read, so expect Rooster to fight the veto for Dust2.
