The two teams have met three times in 2026, and Vitality won two of those series. On maps, Vitality lead 5\u20132, and none of these seven maps went to overtime.<\/p>\n<p>First, on March 19 at BLAST Open Rotterdam 2026, Vitality won 2\u20130. They took Nuke 13\u20135 and Overpass 13\u20133. Then, on June 12 at the IEM Cologne Major 2026, 9z won 2\u20131. They took Dust2 13\u201311 and Mirage 13\u20139, while Vitality won Inferno 13\u20134. Finally, on August 29 at BLAST Open Porto 2026, Vitality won 2\u20130 again, with 13\u20136 on Nuke and 13\u20132 on Dust2.<\/p>\n<h2>Map Pool &amp; Veto<\/h2>\n<p>Win rate over the past 3 months (Vitality | 9z):<\/p>\n<ul class=\"article-list-pink\">\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">Cache: 88% (8 maps) | 40% (5 maps)<\/li>\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">Dust2: 86% (14 maps) | 43% (7 maps)<\/li>\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">Mirage: 70% (10 maps) | 67% (6 maps)<\/li>\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">Inferno: 67% (6 maps) | 20% (5 maps)<\/li>\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">Nuke: 50% (8 maps) | 30% (10 maps)<\/li>\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">Ancient: \u2014 (0 maps) | \u2014 (2 maps)<\/li>\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">Anubis: 40% (10 maps) | \u2014 (0 maps)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Expected veto:<\/strong> 9z have a clear reason to ban Cache and Dust2, where Vitality win 88% and 86% over large samples. In return, Vitality are likely to ban Anubis, where they hold only 40% over ten maps.<\/p>\n<p>After those bans, Vitality can pick Inferno, where they win 67% and 9z only 20%. Meanwhile, 9z can answer with Mirage, where they hold 67% over six maps against Vitality\u2019s 70%. Nuke is another option, but Vitality have 50% there and 9z only 30% over ten maps. Therefore, Mirage looks like the closest map in this pool.<\/p>\n<p><strong>VRS forecast:<\/strong> Vitality currently have 1992 points and sit 1st. A win would add 1 point, taking them to 1992 + 1 = 1993, and they would stay 1st. A loss would cost them 27 points, taking them to 1992 \u2212 27 = 1965, but they would still stay 1st.<\/p>\n<p>9z have 1551 points and sit 16th. A win would add 66 points, taking them to 1551 + 66 = 1617 and lifting them to 11th place, up five spots. However, a loss would cost them only 2 points, so they would drop to 1551 \u2212 2 = 1549 and stay 16th.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"article__content grid-cards-col xl-w-100\">\n    <p class=\"article-h3\">read more<\/p>\n    <div class=\"grid-1 gap-12 mb-12 club-section__load-more-parent xl-w-100\">\n        <article class=\"club-hover-connect-parent\">\n    <div class=\"club-top-line\"><\/div>\n    <div class=\"club-row club-gutter-none\">\n                    <div class=\"club-col-4 club-col-6-xs\">\n                <figure class=\"picture-16x9 picture-with-gradient\">\n                    <a class=\"club-hover-connect club-hover-connect-img\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/snax-leaves-gamerlegions-active-cs2-roster\" tabindex=\"-1\">\n                        <picture class=\"\">\n<source class=\"\" media=\"(max-width: 640px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/55057435834_d6c981837e_k-e1792588373907-768x447.jpg 1x, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/55057435834_d6c981837e_k-e1792588373907-1400x814.jpg 2x\">\n<source class=\"\" media=\"(min-width: 641px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/55057435834_d6c981837e_k-e1792588373907-768x447.jpg 1x, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/55057435834_d6c981837e_k-e1792588373907-1400x814.jpg 2x\">\n<img src=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/55057435834_d6c981837e_k-e1792588373907-768x447.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/55057435834_d6c981837e_k-e1792588373907-1400x814.jpg 2x\" alt=\"\" class=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\">\n<\/picture>                    <\/a>\n                <\/figure>\n            <\/div>\n        \n        <div class=\"club-col-8 club-col-6-xs club-box-bg--gradient\">\n            <div class=\"club-box-def club-full-height\">\n                <div class=\"club-dynamic-dotted-wrap club-full-height\">\n                    <div class=\"club-h4-title\">\n                        <a class=\"club-link-primary club-hover-connect club-dynamic-dotted__text\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/snax-leaves-gamerlegions-active-cs2-roster\">\n                            Snax Leaves GamerLegion\u2019s Active CS2 Roster                        <\/a>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"club-bottom-line\"><\/div>\n<\/article>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Prediction<\/h2>\n<p>9z have real arguments.

In addition, a win would move them up five places in the VRS.<\/p>\n<p>Still, Vitality look like the better side here. ZywOo leads HUASOPEEK on every key stat, and Vitality have won eight matches in a row. Moreover, they won two of the three series between these teams in 2026, including a 2\u20130 win in August. However, the Major result shows that 9z can take a map, so expect at least one tight fight on Mirage.<\/p>\n<p>If 9z ban Cache and Dust2 and Vitality take Inferno, Vitality should control the series.
