Budapest, Hungary
FlyQuest and M80 Clear the Budapest 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-nine of its thirty-three matches ended without the loser taking a map. FlyQuest and M80 went through 3-0; Lynn Vision and Rare Atom went out 0-3. Everyone here was still playing for a place in the Major proper.
2025-11-24 – 2025-11-27, part of Season 3. 33 matches played across 50 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 50 maps at 54.6% CT; Season 3 as a whole played 912 maps at 53.0% CT (3.0pts CT-leaning) — 1.6pts more CT-sided than the season as a whole.
50 maps is under a quarter of Season 3's 912 maps — a small sample against the season it sat in, marked here rather than read as equally trustworthy.
