Teams’ Map Pool

The map veto prediction suggests that NRG will first ban Dust2, while Complexity will eliminate Ancient. NRG is likely to ban Mirage next, followed by Complexity banning Anubis. The remaining bans are expected to be Train by NRG and Nuke by Complexity, leaving Inferno as the decider map. Historically, NRG has a strong win rate on Dust2 with 84% over the last six months, while Complexity has shown a preference for Train with a 77% win rate. The choice of Inferno as the decider is intriguing, given NRG’s 69% win rate compared to Complexity’s 38% on the same map.
