Odds — the price at the moment the AI model answered.
Ancient goes first every time Vitality step up to the veto — all 16 times — and that is precisely FUT Esports' most frequent pick, chosen five times. So the opponent walks into this series without their base map. Vitality's own picks are tight too: 12-2 on Dust2 and 5-2 on Inferno across the last 90 days, and FUT have used their first ban on Inferno in 7 of 10 vetoes, which does not leave them much room.
Form backs the same side. Ten wins from the last ten series, a 3-0 against MOUZ, who sit fourth, and a 2-0 against The MongolZ, with a 42-16 record in maps, a round difference of +186 and 63% of rounds won on the CT side. The previous meetings go the same way: 3-0 over two years, and in August it finished 2-0, Anubis 13-7 and Dust2 13-8. That is the case for the Vitality -1.5 map handicap at 2.17.
Where we could be wrong
The soft spot is Anubis, where Vitality sit at 4-5 and which is FUT's third most popular pick — in June the French dropped it 5-13. The veto is still unknown, and 8 of Vitality's 21 best-of-three series have gone to a third map, so a single map conceded is enough for the bet to go down.
