MOUZ Take BLAST Bounty Season 2 in Malta Without Losing a Match
MOUZ came out of the Malta bracket unbeaten, closing the season 3-1 against Spirit in the grand final: 13-8 on Dust II, 13-4 on Mirage, then 13-10 on Nuke after Spirit took Ancient 13-9 to stay in it. The whole run cost them three maps in ten. Five of the seven matches here reached a deciding map, in a single-elimination bracket with no second chances anywhere in it.

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 21 maps at 49.1% CT; Season 5 as a whole played 81 maps at 51.9% CT (1.9pts CT-leaning) — 2.8pts more T-sided than the season as a whole.
