Best of 3 (LAN)

Liquid come in ranked #25 in the world, BBL #47.

Liquid meet BBL at Stake Pulse Beat III. 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.

67%9 maps Cache 40%10 maps
43%7 maps Dust2 -0 maps
83%6 maps Mirage 45%11 maps
100%5 maps Inferno 50%10 maps
64%11 maps Nuke 57%21 maps
-1 maps Ancient 50%10 maps
75%12 maps Anubis 50%6 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.

Liquid ban most often: Ancient 91%, Dust2 40%, Inferno 25%

BBL ban most often: Dust2 94%, Anubis 42%, Mirage 29%

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.
