FURIA vs Spirit: Map Pool and Veto Prediction

Ancient is a clear point of contrast: Spirit favor the map, while FURIA frequently removes it during the veto.

Map Pool	Spirit	FURIA
Best maps	Ancient (75.0%), Nuke (70.0%)	Inferno (76.9%), Dust2 (63.2%)
Worst maps	Cache (55.6%)	Ancient (38.9%)

Spirit return to Dust2 more than any other map in their selections, with Ancient also appearing regularly in their pick history. Inferno remains their standard ban, having been removed in every counted veto.

Dust2 sits at the top of FURIA’s pick preferences, ahead of Nuke and Inferno. Anubis is their customary veto, while Ancient has also drawn frequent bans.

Spirit are likely to ban Inferno and Cache, while FURIA should remove Anubis and Ancient.
