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 70 maps at 53.8% CT; Season 4 as a whole played 1,046 maps at 53.9% CT (3.9pts CT-leaning) — 0.1pts more T-sided than the season as a whole.

70 maps is under a quarter of Season 4's 1,046 maps — a small sample against the season it sat in, marked here rather than read as equally trustworthy.
