On paper this is lopsided: The MongolZ sit 17 places above BIG 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.
The MongolZ come in ranked #20 in the world, BIG #37.
✅ Reliably steers the veto to Inferno (67% pick rate)
❌ Practically never plays Anubis (100% banned), reducing veto flexibility
✅ Inferno strength: 75% winrate over 8 maps is a strong tactical pick
✅ Reliably steers the veto to Inferno (60% pick rate)
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.
