Go to match page →

Barely anything separates these two in the ranking, and that is usually where a series is decided in the veto rather than on aim. We looked at which maps each side can actually steer to.

BETBOOM come in ranked #9 in the world, Natus Vincere #11.

Our call publishes before kickoff. Free on csedge.io — premium members get every call up front.

BETBOOM

✅ Nuke strength: 67% winrate over 6 maps is a strong tactical pick

✅ Reliably steers the veto to Anubis (89% pick rate)

❌ Heavy Inferno ban usage (89% bans) limits their map bargaining

❌ Weak head-to-head (0% versus Natus Vincere) undermines matchup confidence

Natus Vincere

✅ Nuke strength: 80% winrate over 5 maps is a strong tactical pick

✅ Reliably steers the veto to Ancient (50% pick rate)

✅ Head-to-head edge: 100% versus BETBOOM historically gives veto and psychological advantage

❌ Only 25% winrate on Mirage over 8 maps — exploitable in the veto

❌ Heavy Dust2 ban usage (63% bans) limits their map bargaining
