Austin, TX, US
B8 and HEROIC Clear the Austin Major's First Stage Without a Loss
The Major's opening Swiss stage ran on Bo1s except where a series would qualify or eliminate a team, so twenty-seven of its thirty-three matches ended without the loser taking a map. B8 and HEROIC went through 3-0; Fluxo and Metizport went out 0-3. Train was banned first in thirteen of those matches and reached a server in only four.
2025-06-03 – 2025-06-06, part of Season 2. 33 matches played across 52 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 52 maps at 53.4% CT; Season 2 as a whole played 790 maps at 48.7% CT (1.3pts T-leaning) — 4.7pts more CT-sided than the season as a whole.
52 maps is under a quarter of Season 2's 790 maps — a small sample against the season it sat in, marked here rather than read as equally trustworthy.
