Teams’ Map Pool

The map veto prediction suggests that FaZe will first ban Train, while ECSTATIC will remove Mirage. FaZe is likely to pick Ancient, a map where they have a 67% win rate over the past six months, while ECSTATIC might opt for Inferno, a map they have performed well on with a 66% win rate. Dust2 and Nuke are expected to be banned by FaZe and ECSTATIC respectively, leaving Anubis as the decider. Historical data shows FaZe has a slight edge on Ancient, while ECSTATIC has shown strength on Inferno.

Prediction

Based on the current form, map pool, and head-to-head statistics, FaZe is predicted to win the match with a score of 2:0. FaZe’s historical performance on maps like Ancient gives them a strong advantage, while ECSTATIC’s recent form may not be enough to overcome FaZe’s strategic depth. The probability of FaZe winning is 65%, making them the likely victors in this encounter.

Prediction: FaZe 2-0 ECSTATIC
