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.

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.

B8 ban most often: Anubis 96%, Inferno 44%, Nuke 43%

Luminosity ban most often: Cache 67%, Anubis 60%, Mirage 47%

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.
