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.
SINNERS come in ranked #44 in the world, Eternal Fire #46.
✅ Dust2 strength: 65% winrate over 20 maps is a strong tactical pick
✅ Reliably steers the veto to Dust2 (62% pick rate)
❌ Only 36% winrate on Inferno over 11 maps — exploitable in the veto
❌ Heavy Anubis ban usage (89% bans) limits their map bargaining
✅ Dust2 strength: 77% winrate over 13 maps is a strong tactical pick
✅ Strong recent form: 21 wins in last 31 (69%) shows momentum
❌ Practically never plays Nuke (94% 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.
