Eight of Thirty-Two Teams Leave BLAST Bounty Season 1's Online Stage Unbeaten
The online stage that opened BLAST Bounty 2026 Season 1 cut thirty-two teams down in twenty-four matches, with Falcons, FURIA, GamerLegion, HEROIC, Liquid, PARIVISION, Spirit and Vitality all through at 2-0. Rounds split as close to even as anything on this pool, 50.4 percent to the CT side. The Finals that follow are what decide the season.
2026-01-13 – 2026-01-18, part of Season 3. 24 matches played across 58 maps at Tier 1 events — HLTV Majors and international LAN events with a prize pool between $600,000 and $2,000,000.

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 58 maps at 50.4% CT; Season 3 as a whole played 912 maps at 53.0% CT (3.0pts CT-leaning) — 2.6pts more T-sided than the season as a whole.
58 maps is under a quarter of Season 3's 912 maps — a small sample against the season it sat in, marked here rather than read as equally trustworthy.
