Per-map veto counts and the thin-sample rule
A row marked "thin sample" played under a quarter of this event's own busiest map — the same relative cut `/pro-meta` uses for a thin season or month, applied here within this one event. A map with no CT/T bar was banned before it was ever played, not omitted.
against the seasonHow it compares with its own season
This event played 18 maps at 48.2% CT; Season 1b as a whole played 1,012 maps at 49.7% CT (0.3pts T-leaning) — 1.6pts more T-sided than the season as a whole.
18 maps is under a quarter of Season 1b's 1,012 maps — a small sample against the season it sat in, marked here rather than read as equally trustworthy.
