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 71 maps at 53.3% CT; Season 2 as a whole played 861 maps at 49.0% CT (1.0pts T-leaning) — 4.3pts more CT-sided than the season as a whole.

71 maps is under a quarter of Season 2's 861 maps — a small sample against the season it sat in, marked here rather than read as equally trustworthy.
