Falcons opened the Hong Kong grand final by taking Inferno 13-3, and FURIA won the next three anyway: 13-9 on Nuke, then 19-15 on Train and 19-16 on Mirage, both past regulation. It closed a 4-0 run through the bracket, three maps dropped in twelve. Six of the event's thirteen matches went to a deciding map.

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 34 maps at 55.4% CT; Season 3 as a whole played 912 maps at 53.0% CT (3.0pts CT-leaning) — 2.4pts more CT-sided than the season as a whole.

34 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.

Sample-size caveat
