On paper this is lopsided: G2 sit 33 places above DENDELE in the world ranking. Those gaps close more often than people expect, so here is what the numbers say once form, head-to-head and the map pool get a vote.
G2 come in ranked #8 in the world, DENDELE #41.
✅ Anubis strength: 80% winrate over 5 maps is a strong tactical pick
✅ Reliably steers the veto to Ancient (64% pick rate)
❌ Only 20% winrate on Cache over 5 maps — exploitable in the veto
❌ Heavy Nuke ban usage (86% bans) limits their map bargaining
✅ Inferno strength: 62% winrate over 8 maps is a strong tactical pick
✅ Reliably steers the veto to Cache (53% pick rate)
❌ Practically never plays Dust2 (100% banned), reducing veto flexibility
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.
