Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024

Shanghai, China

Spirit Win the Shanghai Major 2-1, Settling It 13-11 on Dust II

The Shanghai Major ended on a Bo3 rather than a Bo5: Spirit took Nuke 13-8, FaZe answered 13-6 on Ancient, and the Major was decided 13-11 on Dust II. Spirit finished 6-1. FaZe had played eight matches to reach that final, more than anyone else in Shanghai.

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 72 maps at 47.0% CT; Season 1b as a whole played 1,012 maps at 49.7% CT (0.3pts T-leaning) — 2.8pts more T-sided than the season as a whole.

72 maps is under a quarter of Season 1b's 1,012 maps — a small sample against the season it sat in, marked here rather than read as equally trustworthy.
