Teams’ Map Pool
The map veto process is a critical aspect of this match, and the predicted veto scenario suggests that TYLOO will first ban Dust2, while Astralis will remove Anubis. TYLOO is expected to pick Inferno, a map where they have a 66% win rate over the past six months, while Astralis is likely to choose Nuke, boasting a 67% win rate on it. TYLOO might opt for Train, and Astralis could pick Ancient, leaving Mirage as the decider. TYLOO’s historical tendency to avoid Dust2, with a 100% ban rate, aligns with their first ban decision, while Astralis’ consistent banning of Anubis is reflected in their veto strategy.
