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 102 maps at 51.0% CT; Season 2 as a whole played 790 maps at 48.7% CT (1.3pts T-leaning) — 2.3pts more CT-sided than the season as a whole.
102 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.
