Aurora come in ranked #9 in the world, Vitality #2.

Aurora meet Vitality at ESL Pro League Season 24. The model has not priced this one yet — it waits for the map veto, because which maps get played moves the number more than anything else on this page. What follows is what we already know about both teams.

The map pool

Win, pick and ban rates over the last three months. This is where a series is often decided before it starts — a team can steer the veto onto a map the opponent rarely plays.

50%6 maps Cache 83%6 maps

64%14 maps Mirage 67%9 maps
57%7 maps Inferno 60%5 maps
88%8 maps Nuke 50%8 maps
70%10 maps Anubis 44%9 maps

How they veto

The maps each side removes most often. Two teams that ban the same map hand the series to a third one neither wanted.

Aurora ban most often: Ancient 86%, Cache 31%, Dust2 26%

Vitality ban most often: Ancient 100%, Mirage 30%, Cache 14%

When the prediction goes up

Our call publishes before kickoff, never after — that is the whole point of keeping a public record. When it does, this page fills in with the probability for each team, the per-map calls once the veto is done, and afterwards the result and whether we were right.
