Train Is Played Four Times at BLAST Bounty Season 1, Nine Days Before Valve Adds It
The online stage that opened BLAST Bounty 2025 Season 1 ran thirty-two teams through twenty-four matches, with BetBoom, Eternal Fire, G2, HEROIC, Natus Vincere, paiN, Spirit and Vitality all coming out 2-0. The field was already playing Train — four times here, nine days before Valve rotated it into the Active Duty pool on 2025-01-28 — and Vertigo, still in that pool, was not played once. The Copenhagen finals that follow decide the season.
2025-01-14 – 2025-01-19, part of Season 1b. 24 matches played across 57 maps at Tier 1 events — HLTV Majors and international LAN events with a prize pool between $600,000 and $2,000,000.
championWho took it
BLAST Bounty 2025 Season 1 is followed by BLAST Bounty 2025 Season 1 Finals, a later phase of the same tournament that actually decides it — this event's own last match winner is not a tournament champion.

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 57 maps at 48.7% CT; Season 1b as a whole played 1,012 maps at 49.7% CT (0.3pts T-leaning) — 1.0pts more T-sided than the season as a whole.
57 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.
