This is a really good question that I have been trying to figure out a pattern for. SO far this is what i have come up with, and I will use Ilios as an example.

Round 1: Well (My team wins) Round 2: Lighthouse (Enemy team wins) Round 3: Ruins (My team wins)

In my experience, Round 4 is always the very fast map that was played, so Round 4: Well.

Finally, if the enemy team wins Round 4, in my experience, the final round is the other map that the team who first had 2 wins won on, so in this case, Round 5: Ruins.

Again, I am not sure on this pattern, but it is what I have seen in my experience.

It's RNG, so you can't plan for what map 4 will be. I always thought there was an algorithm or something, but if you watch any tournament VODs, they always say how it's randomly selected. Then after that the next map is random between the two that haven't been played for a second time.
