Some matches you feel, some you count. For Aurora vs M80 at Esports World Cup 2026 we did the counting: world ranking, three months of form, head-to-head and every map either team can realistically play.
✅ Anubis strength: 71% winrate over 7 maps is a strong tactical pick
✅ Reliably steers the veto to Anubis (100% pick rate)
✅ Strong recent form: 8 wins in last 13 (67%) shows momentum
❌ Only 33% winrate on Dust2 over 6 maps — exploitable in the veto
❌ Practically never plays Ancient (92% banned), reducing veto flexibility
✅ Mirage strength: 62% winrate over 8 maps is a strong tactical pick
✅ Reliably steers the veto to Inferno (88% pick rate)
❌ Heavy Nuke ban usage (89% bans) limits their map bargaining
