18 September at 15:00 Oslo · by the CS Edge model

Ranking, form, head-to-head, map pool. Those four decide most CS2 series, and they are what we ran magic vs MIBR through.

Our call: MIBR to win — 53% (a high-risk pick)

How it ended

MIBR won 1–2. ✅ Our call was right — we said MIBR at 53%.

TBA — –

magic

✅ Cache strength: 86% winrate over 7 maps is a strong tactical pick

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

❌ Only 25% winrate on Dust2 over 8 maps — exploitable in the veto

❌ Practically never plays Nuke (95% banned), reducing veto flexibility

MIBR

✅ Inferno strength: 70% winrate over 10 maps is a strong tactical pick

❌ Only 38% winrate on Ancient over 8 maps — exploitable in the veto

❌ Practically never plays Dust2 (100% banned), reducing veto flexibility

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.
