Map Pool For Match MOUZ vs The MongolZ
In the veto, MOUZ will most likely begin by banning Dust2, as it is their most frequent permanent ban. After that, they may choose Mirage, where they have an impressive 88% win rate, or Inferno, which also appears frequently in their map pool with a 64% win rate. In the second ban phase, MOUZ could remove Ancient to limit one of The MongolZ’s potential comfort maps.
The MongolZ, on the other hand, almost always start their veto by banning Anubis, and this match is unlikely to be an exception. As their map pick, the team may choose Nuke, where they have a 57% win rate, or Ancient, where their aggressive style can create problems even for stronger opponents. In the second ban phase, the Mongolian squad may remove Overpass, as it is one of MOUZ’s strongest maps.
With this veto scenario, the most likely decider could be Inferno — a map both teams are comfortable on and one where the outcome often depends on individual performances.
