Legacy and Virtus.pro Clear the Austin Major's Second Stage 3-0
The Major's second Swiss stage cut sixteen teams to the eight that reached three wins and went on to the main event. Legacy and Virtus.pro cleared it without a loss; BetBoom and OG went out 0-3. Twenty-eight of its thirty-three matches ended without the losing side taking a map, most of that the Bo1 format's doing.

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 51 maps at 48.8% CT; Season 2 as a whole played 790 maps at 48.7% CT (1.3pts T-leaning) — 0.1pts more CT-sided than the season as a whole.
51 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.
